My 2006 VZ SS 6L Manual ute! (never dial-up friendly)

Infill plate to centre the rear number plate always looks good on those utes.

Never knew about that - I'm unsure how I feel about centering it haha!

I did more research into the plates and what the mechanic said checks out - if the valley plate is changed but the lifters aren't, they have 10-20PSI lower oil pressure issues. Just need to figure out how he saw the plate..

Yeah , because I think threes no difference on the outside. just the way the baffle plate thing is under the plate

DoD valley cover on left and LS2 valley cover on right:

Okay so I've picked the car up and talked about that DOD thing. The mechanic pointed out a hose that non DOD cars have. I was pretty skeptical but he had 2 other l76s there and they both didn't have it.

Tomorrow I'll chuck up a photo and let me know if your car has it - sounds silly but might aswell humour ourselves.


In the good news, car is all done. Runs sick and loves burning tyres lol..
I'll put up a dyno sheet but it got 245.8kw

Drives so much smoother and much more fun to drive. But I feel it's not going to be enough for long lol

 

[Trayner]

Yeah man , doesn't matter what the dyno sheet says . As long as your happy .

240-260 is around the right mark for a "stock" l76/L98 and with a Accurate dyno lol .

Alright well a few pics, came up really well. Bloody exhaust hits the ground of my driveway so i'm not sure what to do about that..

Trayner - can you look at your car on the next two pictures, one zoomed in, one zoomed out - shows a hose.
The guys were adamant that hose is NOT on DOD models - didn't explain what it did but the other models did not have it that he showed me. (hose with red writing)






And now a quick OTR and exhaust pic..

As i said the DOD valley cover only caused oil pressure issue on actual AFM mode usually so it doesn't matter what valley cover is on the VZ 6ltr.

I still say check under the carpet for the build sheet and compare engine numbers too.

I was under the impression the sedan had DOD hardware and utes had the motors without.

nah all the VZ 6ltrs has the L76 with DOD except the late 2006/2007 VZ Utes which

So all Sedans and wagons had the L76 and the first half of the utes.
