    Do VY front coilovera fit in a VS

    Yes they (Front Coilovers) do. I took the Kings ProSport Coilovers out of the front of my VY Ute & bolted them straight into my 95 model VS Commodore sedan perfectly. No difference. Cheers

    VS Series 2 ECU

    When you changed ECU's did you use the same number ECU as what was in the car originally ? Why I ask is because I have a T5 manual VS which now is running on a Auto ECU (VT I believe) The Kalmaker Software Tuner did the tune on the Chip & sorted it all out. Now the only problem I find is on a...

    VX door lock only popping 3/4 !

    I have a VY Ute from new, it also did this some time ago now. I kept opening from Passengers side & leaning across to pop it up for a while, till finally I sprayed Silcone spray down around the plastic lock snipper (and bit of it too lol). Worked the lock up & down, and so far its been a while...

    Button will not activate central locking. How to fix.

    Yes. My issue was a sticky Ignition Relay. I went through pulling the fuses & relays checking them all. The ignition one didn't work on first check. So replaced it with a new one I had. Everything worked from the key fobs once again. I just had to do the 60 second handshake because it has a...

    Button will not activate central locking. How to fix.

    I have had the key fobs check via a good locksmith service. They said both keys were giving out a strong signal when the buttons were pressed. Which to them means the BCM itself has an issue. So looking for a replacement with key fob already linked.

    Has anyone done a "How-To" for removing the VR-VS Dash Pad ? I am that close now I thought I would give it a go if it is only 16 odd bolts/nuts & screws. Seeing some how to pics of fastener locations etc would be handy. Cheers Deek

    Thanks Wozza, might give that a try if it seem easier. Taking dash pad off is another option that has been suggested as well. Cheers

    Ok this looks like the right place to ask this question. When fitting a Level 3 patch loom to the VS commy I have to take the No1 connector behind the cluster apart to be able to pull the Level 1 dash loom out. I have remove the outer orange clip retainer, then pulled the little yellow spade...

    Vtv6 Exhaust pipe from drivers side manifold has turned blue, not passenger side????

    I think it would be a blocked Cat, and maybe also a stuffed 02 sensor as I have the same model Hilux with VT V6 & custom made steel headers. I answered a previous question you had regarding the steep hill climbs & bright blue smoke. The exhaust may have been carrying a bit too much oil smoke &...

    Base VY ute wiring for power windows ?

    I did not go ahead with it as yet (maybe I never will). But the OEM window wiring runs to the BCM, which itself is a higher spec as base models are a Low level BCM. I am told it can be done without going through the BCM. So you just need a auto sparkie or someone good in that area to hook them...

    Ecotec auto to manual

    I disagree with you on the dowel pins purpose. They are there to stop small movements back & fourth of the flywheel on the bolt to bolt hole clearance. The small movement if allowed to start will help work the bolts loose. Some people get away with doing it as you have & others don't. Most times...

    need help with a gearbox

    You can also rebuild your T5 with newer Tremec gears & use the V8 ratio along with a special V6 input shaft. The newer gears are supposed to give the box a higher HP rating. Along with the V8 ratio gears you can replace other parts to make the box stronger. Another option is to have all the...

    Oil pickup tube location? 3.8l

    Yeah I would also look to changing it out or at least panel beating it back to near normal. But it maybe missing the pick up bottom cause the major indent in more to the back of sump. Cheers Deek
