VZ Alloytec
Hey guys,

Newbie here, slowly getting into the scene thanks to a mate.

I have a VZ Alloytec -190kw, neat as a pin, 150,000ks and was looking at going down the boost - turbo or S/C not determined yet.

I'm looking at getting some quick and cheap mods(but worthwhile) for the time being and just thought I would get the following
Exhaust (cat back)
CAI
Mace ECU Tune

Prob be looking at this tiding me over for 18months or unless I win lotto beforehand, until I get a Turbo Diesel ute then seriously looking at boost

I know a few might say sell and get an 8...Id love an 8 but the money buying at 8 I could put into mine, body is mint, low ks for years and has never done me wrong....and well I like it...

Apart from the ideas above, anyone else have any suggestions...I'll eventually look at getting the interior done also

Anyone know if a VY/VZ dash HSV/Calais dash can plug straight into a VZ acclaim...I read someone there are 3 levels of dash cluster ?

Cheers in advance

Warnie

I have a VZ SV6 too mint, only done 120,000 , also love it like you- I wouldn't spend any money on it other than servicing though. Maybe I am too old but you'll never get the money back.

:) In my early years I put a 202 in a UC Sunbird because I loved the body so much I wouldn't sell the car, mods cost me like $4 grand - worst financial mistake of my life- car ran like a dog and I was too shy to put pressure on the mechanics to fix everything I was unhappy about,

VY dashes can only be swapped into another VY
VZ dashes can only be swapped into another VZ

The plugs on the back of the clusters are different.

Use the search function
There is some very good reading about changing instrument clusters on this forum
