Hey Pauly, I posted a bit of a run down in the VY forum. Take a read and if you need any help just flick me a message. Ill do my best to help you out. Kev

Hey mate, you may not need to change those looms, cluster should just plug and play. I would say as long as both are series 2 you shouldnt have to many problems. I guess until you do the actual conversion is when you will find these little things out. At least you have a whole donner car to do...

Ok so i have been getting a lot of mail about doing this conversion so i thought i would just post here what needs to be done as i am barely on this site these days. If you are converting sedan to sedan you won't have much problems but if its Ute to sedan then you will be buying extra things...

Hey sorry barely on here these days. Ill flick you the email i have sent to everyone else that ask. Trust me been asked alot. kev

Where's my chips?

Run straight pipes into a Remus, no cats. Failing that buy a V8

You fitted the bearings the right way up? Strus springs in locator slots? Top nut on strut itself tight? Not the other nut that keeps it locked into the tower.

Send them back and get the right ones. Why would you want to install a part that is not right?

Well look at it this way, you want to upgrade and have more "power" am i right? More power means more fuel, plus you should be running on higher octane anyway. I had the ecotech V6 did a **** load of mods and without slamming a turbo/supercharger onto the things your not going to get much out of...

Have to agree here. Save your money and get a V8.

Ok so say if this is actually true what if you havent changed your cluster and they do match your vin, but someone has come in with the Tech2 and knocked any amount of km's off. Then what!

And once you have found out how many vy's are showing true km's, then what. Have to agree with NU13

Lol, you still havent fixed that yet. :banstick:

To check for fuel just crack the main line at the engine. You can buy the tool to use for about $5. If you don't have the tools to do any of this sort of stuff then you won't have the tools or knowledge to diagnose the issue, especially if its something like crank angle sensor etc. My best...

Cork rocker cover gaskets havent been used for god knows how long :banstick:

crank angle sensor plugged in? Scan ECU for fault code. May point you in the right direction.

Really, i probably dealt with you. I was working up at Kyber automotive probably around the same time maybe. Few years back anyway.

Which BNT were you at?

Not at all. But at the end of the day if you had to replace a set of pads every 3 years at a cost of $60 and machine your rotors, which you should get at least 3 machines out of then, its not that much at all. I use 3 years as a reference, as everyones driving style is different.

Ah actually still pretty good. I live in a city where its mainly hills everywhere. Never had fade and dont use gears.

Stock brakes are fine if you put a better pad in. Im running bendix metal and tow a 2 ton boat. Stops on a dime. Each to there own though i guess.

You should of taken it to someone who knows what there doing in the first place. Looks like you threw a **** load of money at this already. Like Franklin said link PCM to BCM with pretty much any scan tool and it should start.

Are you using the car on track? If not and its just your daily driver i wouldnt waste your money.

Nothing wrong with Oztrack tunes. And like worded above it can be accessed again. If your going to bag a company Munz you better have some good evidence behind your allegations.

You can do it with a Launch also. Guessing the Hanatech will do it to. Bosch probably not.

Ok get that fixed first. Get the plenums cleaned and intake also while its off. The issue you have may or may not be related to your problem. Best to fix that first and go from there.

So you get someone to replace the intake manifold gaskets and it doesnt fix it, then what? Maybe just let someone who knows what there doing actually diagnose the problem. Any modern day workshop will have a smoke tester they can find leaks in a couple of minutes. If that's your problem.

For a start is the noise coming from top or bottom of engine? I would be running 10-40 in it. From what im reading sounds like you have an oil pressure problem. If this is the case and you have been running it like this for a while you have probably already done the damage internally. This is an...

Yup thermostat, cheap easy and common. Would also pull the radiator and have it flushed properly. Those flushes in a bottle are pretty crap compared to doing the job right.

Shocks you were given could be super lows. Did you put them next to the ones you removed to check?

Sounds like the master is bypassing, doesnt have to be leaking to do this. Change it for new unit, bled and then your on your way.

Yeah possibly have to reprogram PCM to BCM with scan tool. Launch will do it. If that is ok i would be looking at crank signal next and go from there.

Sump gasket common as hell. Usually L/H rear.

That's because they can't think for themselves. And I wouldn't expect a guy on here would own a scope as this is something a modern well equipped workshop should have if they want to get by in the world of diagnostics. Your not dealing in carbs points and condensers anymore. And as far as...

Holden don't make there bars though, they just rebadge them with there own label. Usually you will see on that label who actually made it.

Thought id come back and answer your question. The problem is your calibration. Its a very common problem with commodores and unfortunately the only way to fix it is take it to holden and get them to recalibrate it with the Tech2. No other scan tool can do the calibration correctly. Also you...

This is why you take an induction reading from the coil. Use a scope and you can clearly see ignition patterns. You really need to get out of these workshop manuals and move into the 21st century.

In NZ almost all genuine towbars are manufactured by Best Bars. I have forgotten who does them for australia. Best bars tried getting into the Australian market but had some issue, this also slips my mind. Probably because of the price but they are a quality bar with quality bolts etc. You can...

Ok your towing a trail bike on trailer so what we talking 300-400kg? That's #### all and your engine will barely be affected. What stage cam have you got in there? Who did the tune? When your tank is on empty how many litres does it take to fill? I am assuming that your not towing your trail...
