    Help! Clunking, what could it be?

    Remember when turning right the weight of the vehicle shifts to the left. It will make it easier if you can identify which side it is coming from (yeah no sh!t). Check the centre diff mount for movement. Check trans mount.

    VY Series2 SS STEERING WHEEL SHAKE

    Check run out of front and rear discs. Mine did the same thing. Only needed new rotors or a machine. I suggest taking to a suspension shop who do brakes and wheel alignments and have it checked out. Could also be abs module. Start with simple things first.

    VY Tailshafts - Help!

    I would be very worried if a mechanic couldn't replace a uni joint especially because i am one myself... Centre bearings on the other hand may require special tools... It is very hard to diagnose a tailshaft while it is in the car... Definitely take it to your mechanic and see what he says. You...

    VE 12 V Accessory Power Power Outlets

    there should be a 12V accessories socet in the center console, and im not 100% sure where the second one is... the easiest way to do it would be to cut your wires, see which is earth and which is 12V, then hook them up to the battery with a fuse inbetween the battery and the appliance... that...

    Best diff??

    Ok cool cheers guys... im looking at putting a 383 stroker into it and just seeing what my alternatives are... i currently have the standard VL n/a diff with drums on the back so i need to upgrade the whole piece anyway... thanks for your replies :D

    Best diff??

    Just wondering if anyone knows what the best diff to use in a VL is?? I've heard nothing but good things about the VL Turbo/V8 diffs, but wondering if later model LSD's will fit into a VL with little to no modification? Cheers.
  17. sheepz89

    do later model front calipers fit?

    where did you get your rotors and calipers from?

    need help install auto meter gauge???

    if you pull ur dash cluster out, you'll find that you dont need to penetrate the firewall WHAT SO EVER or send any wires down to the engine bay!!! all the wires are there behind your dash... even if you dont have a tacho dash... i did it in the old SL... made life so much easier :D
  19. sheepz89

    Dash loom and engine loom

    Yeah VL's are very prone to rust... thankfully my VL has recently been resprayed so shouldn't be too much of a problem... its a shame you're wrecking the VL, but then again if i was in your position i'd probably do the same thing... Good luck with the VN anyway mate!

    how much oil?

    well every time i change the oil i ALWAYS change the filter, i allow it to keep dripping for about 10 - 15 mins, and use a whole 5L bottle which seems to do the job, then pour the old oil into the bottle i just emptied... been doing it for 2 years now and have never had a problem with it :D

    Rear suspension noise(clunk)

    i had a severe clunking in my VL, turned out to be the bushes in the upper diff control arms... apparently its a very common problem on VL's... the clunk mainly occured when accellerating (only when pedal was tapped or pushed) and when going over bumps... if it helps

    will rb30et motor fit into a vy

    i agree... why would u bother putting a RB30 into a VY?? Sure it'd be something different and probably learn a sh!t load from it, but i can't really think of any positive outcomes to it :P Vee ka and VLDavo have it right, if you turbo'd or even supercharged the v6 u'd be seeing much better...

    turbo/v8 brake booster
