    The factory and HSV V8 OTR's are actually smaller than the factory super6 OTR which is the only factory one available for a V6 VN-VS.
    You only need to buy the OTR snorkel and the adapter that fits your original lower airbox just a little cutting to make it fit.
    The snorkel and adapter can be still bought from Holden or check them out on eBay all the time.

    as Surfwagon said, yes you can still buy it from holden, the OTR and elbow should set you back around $65 or so, then just cut your lower airbox open a tad more.
