Thanks EVY, looks like the simple way to do it. Not to keen to muck around with the wiring or getting a gearbox mount. Let alone pedals and tail shaft

Very nice example. I've always had a set spot for early senators. Vn & vp hsv's still look tough as

Hi guy's can this be done? Straight bolt in? Motor and 6 speed t56 from vt gts. Vn is an sv5000. Other option is to bolt the stroker motor to the auto and use the vn wiring so I could keep it close to original. Would this engine bolt up to the factory gearbox? Just weighing up some options as I...

Hi could someone tell me what needs to be done at 165000km service please

Sorry about the late reply. Running lowered springs and struts front and rear. What if read is Sv5000 had the vl diff.

Could anybody tell me if 20x9.5 with 43 offset will fit an sv5000?

I removed the wrong bolt from the getrag 290 gearbox when refilling it with oil. I think it was the reverse locking spring bolt. The spring came out. Will this affect anything inside the gearbox? I've screwed it back in. But now it has me worried i may have stuffed something up. Shouldn't have...

Thanks guys. Been busy today. Disconnected everything ready to pull motor an box out in the vk in the morning. Have the vt motor sitting on some timber waiting to be dropped in. Been going hard. Will try to get a few pic up of the car. My mate has done a beautiful phantom mica paint job. And is...

So i'm still trying to find more info and not having much luck. Info I've gathered so far is, use vn wiring. And change dizzy to vn. Hoping somebody has already done this and will tell me the easiest they did it. ☺

Hi r j k is this a simple change over? I've pulled a couple vn motors out before. And could you please point me in the right direction of where to get the crossmember. Also what's involved with fitting up a pedal box. Can I get away with using the vt pedals? Sorry for so many questions, just...

Hi everyone. I have a vk with a 304 and trimatic. I also have a crashed vt clubby with low kms and a 5 speed. I'm wanting to fit the vt running gear in the vk. Would this fit without to many dramas? I know the t5 is a better box. Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks for your reply mate. So would a vacuum leak be affecting how the trans shifts in to gear? I will check for vacuum leaks tomorrow after work. Also is adjusting the kickdown cable easy to do or something a gearbox shop needs to do

Hi guys. I recently removed the throttle body to find a small coolant leak. After finding a loose hose clip and replacing it, bolting everything back together the car is surging at idle. Took it for a drive an the trans isn't shifting into gear properly. Wondering if anyone has had anything like...

hi everyone. i'm looking for some info about putting 295mm rotors on the rear of my sv. anybody done this and is there any modification to be done? have seen this done in a magazine. just cant seem to find any info on how they went about it. car isn't drivable yet so i cant drive it in anywhere...

ok mate i'll try starting it like that

ok, so iv looked at 4 different vn v8s. an none of them have a 4 wire oxygen sensor. anyone got an sv5000? could you plz have a trace where these wires connect to in the engine bay. starting to get abit frustrated.

yeah mate they do look like they have been used. gona try 2 get over to a mates place 2moro an have a look at his 2 see if his is the same

sorry took awhile to answer just finished putting the driveshaft in.

just seems strange that there are 4 wires coming from the exhaust. maybe these are earths. they have a ring connection to go over a 10mm stud or bolt. still just trying 2 figure out where its bolted to tho.

a pink an blue wire. or pink an purple.

vise grips, one of the best tools ever. saved me many a time. air compressor, keeps things clean. an a decent trolley jack, the 1 i have at the moment i bought 4 80 dollars at a garage sale. think its a 10 tonne. about 6 pumps an the wheels are 200mm off the ground. would love a hoist tho

thanks for your reply tasmaniak. where abouts would the two black wires hook on to?

sorry its a vn 5l

hi guys, just doing the final connections before i start my fresh motor. not sure where the 4 wires go to that come from sensor on the exhaust. 1 of them goes through the firewall so that ones sorted, there are 2 black wires that look like earths and 1 red wire that has starter written on it. is...
