That's the one...

thanks for that :D

Other than the fact you attacked the back of your Magna with chrome badges it looks great!! Dark tinting really sets it off.

Where abouts did you get the VRX bumper?

Really like that auto stick, so much better than stock. That's definitely going on my so-to-do mods list.

HAHA, Does it really look that bad??

I got the kit from Ebay ($650), and the TH/J bar from a bumper place in Melbourne ($99).

HAHA, Does it really look that bad??

Na it doesn't look that bad, I've just become a debadged convert :P

I do like the small Mitsu badge on the top of the boot though, was that from eBay or Mitsu spare parts?

Cheers mate, and once again your car look great!

All very tastefully done mate. Good work

Very nice job you have done there mate, wish I had some extra money to do the body kit.

I want that gear knob!. Where did you get it?

Hey, did you happen to take any pics of the shifter without the boot? reason being i wouldn't mind a VY/VZ HSV auto shifter on there and would like it to look factory


Here's a link to th sunglass holder if anyones interested, it's new as well

http://holmart.com.au/online/prod654.htm

OMG i'm seeing my dream bodykit on another car!!!! ahhh!!!! nice job...good taste

a fine example of how a few tasteful mods done right can really set off the magnas.

Looks tops mate!

I reckon paras and a letterbox grill would suit it to a tee though :D

Mate my car will look so similar to yours when finished - I have the same rims (in 18s and gunmetal) and I'm going to put the same kit on. Only difference will be a letterbox grille and the colour.

Can you please PM me the contact details of the bumper place in melbourne? Cheapest ive found so far was mitsubishi parts for $150

i so want to do that gearstick job!!!!

So what does the Calais interior light offer that a Verada one doesnt?

I dont wear glasses btw so anything else? I meant to ask this in your thread a while back but forgot.

I love that auto shifter!!! Damn that is sexy

I would go back to auto just to put that in..!!


well maybe not


.. hot tho!

very nice car man. lovin it

I have attached a photo of the shifter without the boot, as you can see, it would look like absolute crap without the leather.

I think the lights are a bit bigger & brighter with the Commodore lights. But other than that, nothing i guess just the sunglasses holder haha. I just dont like the look of the Verada lights, i think they look old.

I really dont like the letterbox grilles, i think they look untidy, but yeah parras are next on the list. Hopefully within the next two weeks, ill be getting the parras and a new exhaust, looks pretty silly at the moment. Im surprised no one has said anything about it.

Haha, I didn't even notice the exhaust was missing :P

Haha, I didn't even notice the exhaust was missing :P

Its not actually missing, its just coz the VRX kit has a straight exhaust and the standard magnas have the exhaust blow sorta out the bottom.

HaHa, Just making sure you guys didnt think i was trying to make my car sound cool with no muffler on there. Haha.

Thanks for the pic, and yeah it doesnt look too crash hot without the boot, might look into a 380 VRX/GT auto shifter

looks good mate...not sure about the windows tho...looks great, but i find it hard enough with 15% tint on a dark or rainy night let alone 8%. get use to putting ya windows down:shock: nice job tho

Ive had the tint on for a few months now, im used to it now i think. I had 8% on the back window as well at first but it blocked out so much light. Now with the 32% rear and nothing on the front a good amount of light shines through from the moon and stuff. Its really not as dark as it looks in the photos.

Wahoo!! Just won a VY gearstick + boot for $5!

I dont see why not, just need to get the angle and mounting holes in the same position, if they are different, me thinks a 2 mm thick plate steel should suffice, i seen this done on a excel using some other models handbrake, just a thought

Shibbs

I believe it does, i'm going to do a trail fit and if it doesn't work either take it back or sell it on ebay. To buy the parts brand new from a dealer: $60.25 for the shifter, $40 for the handbrake.

do u have a pic of the stock int light? just want to see if its the same as my jdm

Ebay in the US, i organised a huge group buy of them ages ago and got them quite cheap, but buying them individually you're looking at $40 roughly.

yeah, one of the best things on my car, everyone comments on it. I think we only paid 26 dollars or something delivered. Good work M4DDOG haha.

jtauelangi - check your pms mate

Nice job man that looks crazi

Hey I just attempted to install the auto shifter in my Verada and after removing the button, spring and rubber thingy I can't see the bolt you refer to. All I see is a yellow thing that the button presses down to change between P/R/N/D/etc. What am I missing?

ok everyone, i have just looked again on my car. I put this thing on ages ago, and when i wrote the instructions it was even a lil; bit after i had actually done it.

I think from memory, you pull the button off using two knives on each side, revealing the skinny plastic tuby bit that goes up and down, and two lil screws on the inside. Take the two lil screws out, and the black plastic bit should be able to come out. Now unscrew the nut that you will see when the black plastic bit is out. You may have to loosen the nut at the bottom of the gear lever bit too. Once the top nut is loose, your shifter should just lift off.

It would be easier to explain, if i had my old shifter here, coz maybe im forgetting a step and its stuffing you all up.

This is what mine looks like

The silver thing at the bottom of the hole is pretty much flush with the bottom, is that what you mean?

Get some pliers and pull that plastic thing out. grip it by the bits sticking up, not the button trigger thing the black parts. the nut is under it.

Ok I got it off, there was a screw in plain sight towards the dash holding it on! Took that out and it slid right off. There is no nut that I can see anywhere.

Problem is there is nothing to hold the VY shifter on. The screwhole on the silver stick is barely 2mm deep, and doesn't hold the screw at all.

A TF gearstick must be different to yours, i didnt have a screw in the side of it to hold it on. I just had the plastic bit at the top, took that out and there was a nut there. Once i took the nut off the shifter slid off. Then i put the Commodore shifter on, put the nut back in, put the plastic bit from the commodore shifter in, put the lil screws back in and clipped the top button back in.

I cant post any pics, coz my phone is being stupid and it wont con nect to the computer.

ill go take a photo of what mine looks like.

Thank you so much :D

Heres a picture, its all blurry but you can sorta see the nut i am talking about on my car. Its full of grease now but yeah, all i did was tighten the nut until the lever was tight then put the plastic bit on and tightened the two lil screws up.

Mine was way different to yours, looking at your photos.

I'll go out and have a look but I don't think I have anything like that on my car.

Nope, no nuts or anything. The way the original attaches is basically you slide it on and the shape inside the grip stops it spinning, and there is a screw hole in the grip that holds the screw in the tiny hole on the silver stick thing to stop it sliding off. Take a look at my photos above to see what I mean.

Yeah, i guess TF sticks are different. Well mine is anyway ahha. no wonder no one knew what i was talking about with this nut thing. TF's must be the only ones with nuts :) the rest of them must just get screwed :D

the rest of them must just get screwed :D

Yep :P I guess I will have to work out a why of securing it then!
