updates made a fluffy box got some EPA warnings fixed them with a injected motor the diff didnt like the injected motor and the auto cooler

bought this about a month ago. the new daily. 1 slx vh wagon with a gutless 253 and 4 speed with 6 months rego. needed lots of work and have been doing lots of work to it. did a 10mph paint job of mix matched acrylic in the back yard. put vq bigger breaks (same as vp v8), lowerd suspention...

Gday. wondering if any body knows what to do with the 4 wires out of a th700? (not the speed sensor) Resently did a v8 manual to v6 auto convertion and no wires are connected to the box. have been driving it around like this for a month. Runs a vn engine loom and computer, with a vr body loom.

Another engine Will be nice with a rebuild. and the 5 speed that is behind it. And gets to return to standard k frame. no cut dow strut tops, any more.

Gives me code 12 (sorting pin 5&6) The is also an alarm going off (just hazards) forgot about this as i had flasher can removed (how can i reset it as have tyred remove battery terminal), but also have tryed ecu with no vats, so should still fire, 'immortality' let me know how you go. I would...

Car is being a turd, has no spark, don't get a pulse when run a test light from post to neg on coil, but it gets 0.4ohms in a resistance test and is believed to be fairly new. The car has randomly ran twice in past 3 weeks only for a few moments 30seconds was longest, it still has injector...

New info my brother hoped in the car when unloading from trailor and just started it. Ran for 30sec then died. That was before i did all my playing around with it

Gday, i have just bought a vr v8 manual s2 ute duel fuel not running, i have been playing with it today belive to be imobiliser issue as it wont crank, previous owner told me lock and unlock doors using remote then have 10 seconds to turn key and should crank, (and when i looked at it saw it...

Dose any one know if a s1 vt hub will bolt to vr ball joint and rack? And if the strut is the same length? Also picked up a valley for the l67 and an injected gas system

Nice. Got to love a manual v8 1st gen. Any plans for it?

The is a saying that enamal goes over everything, nothing goes over enamel. I know you said you didnt like acrillic, but i think it might be your best bet. Its race car not show car dont need to fashy paint. Cheep and easy to use, its really not that hard to cut and polish (Personal bias i like...

So i got this, missing the valley but should be able to pick one up in the next little while. Not 100% sure what to do with it. Know head gasket problem, suit rebuild. It has been out side for a week or 2 so hopefully not to much water in cylinders. Do you guys know if vs extractors from a...

Did you spray it your self, clean as! Looks mint! What diff did you stick under it?

Fixing... Front end now has less neg camber. Very happy about it Sloted top hole with digrinder to get more adjustment. Worked a treat Replased castor bushes with nolithane items, old ones were stuffed. Then just playing with sun visor and white walls as an alternitive look.

Likening l67 swap! Would love to do that to mine! What box are you planing on running? Photos please?

Very cool, would love to see more pics.

Lowered pics please? Good work thus far, calais/stato interior bits look great! Needs a sun visor

Ari666 is on the ball I would also cheek sills (the panel under doors). Look for crap repairs. Mine has had a boot section replaced and all joins were rusted. So cheek them especially down the bottom. Bog has a nice hollow sound to it Expect to find more rust as you continue

This is a good idea! why not twin turbo, or twin supercharger.

Thankyou very much, you were very helpful. Im planing on putting my glass back in in near future any tips? And i got my p's :D very annoying not having car! Or any completely legal ones in family :( . Vk 3800- you had the buick in your vk on p's didn't you? Did you ever have any cop trouble?

Yes it has dodge strut top! Yes I know it needs engineering! (Witch will mean some form of change) Yes im looking at my driving restrictions a little far left. In my vb has a really short fat link pin from strut with nolithane bushed to a vr sway bar (some one mentioned it above) The fuel line...

No harm in dreaming. There are multiple places that do conversion kits, you wont get much change from 2.5k And then you need to find an engine. it will be a worth while conversion and has been done many times.

Would a chopped down vn axels work? Vl diff 40mm shorter ant there is excess spline on vn axels if can they can be shorted by 20mm each and still have enough spline to slip into Centre could be a cheep way around it. And then tell me if it works :)

Relax guy. I have read the rules. Im in vic The rules state: "An engine that is modified for proformance." Dosnt mention has to be in the right car. i know of older things getting around with newer running gear Without hassel. At the end of the day its a stock v6. Nothing special nothing...

I have used vr front end so that it cost $40 instead of $300 to upgrade breaks to vt twin piston. The donor car happened to be a vr as well that had the 5 speed. As for making the stuff fit its not all that hard, quiet easy actually! just a little time consuming. I do agree that the bolts in...

Ill try the ajust. Then might have to reposition studs in mount plate. Got blinkers now, Found the hazards switch. worked a treat after some cleaning of the contacts. Still no headlights, taillights or break lights. found there is no power to the headlight switch? Would it mater that only one...

So it runs a vr bearing plate cut down and with the studs repositioned (pic pg 5). Hole front end is vr. rack, arms everything. It has a vr adjustable column modded firewall to mount. (Since doing discovered is pointless as hits the dash at anything other than full down full out.) so suits the...

Not to bad just undo lots of Phillip head screws. The pain in the ass ones just under the windscreen in demist section Removing heater control go driver foot well look to tunnel flick plastic white clip and pop the rod out. Haven't done one in a while.

Did its first skid today. Does good skids. Needs an lsd tho :( Thanks guys I will plug the hazzard in and see if i get some results Vk sl 3800 Can you please expand?

Lights camera action Rear bar, tail lights. Soldered rear lights loom to the vn loom, after fuel pump, demist and boot 'pop'. Was only me so dont know if break lights work. Tail lights being a pain there not there, same with head lights and blinkers Headlights have 12v power to globe...

Keep up good work. Complete donor is brilliant idea, and geting it rego before starting changing engine hehe

Nice, you must be very very excited. Bet you can't wait to get stuck into it.

Exhaust-added placebo efect Diff gears!!! golden of the line/ depends on how much hwy travel you do. manual no rear breaks. ;)

rails different from vt onwards so k frame wont fit. easy for you they make engine mounts for ls1 into vb-vs (v8s vn-vs). on vb-vk v8 and straight 6 k frame are the same! wiring side of things simlar but a little more complicated. and if i rember correctly sometimes the starter gets relocated...

I see red Little by little bit by bit. Slowly coming together. Need some rubbers for windows and doors Piecing interior together, has a L shape in gear selector unsure on how to seal from tunnel any ideas?

It drives!!! Tank and how fits in guards (finger tight) with camber not fixed And the most important part Satin black vb. first drive!!! - YouTube

This thing is cool!!! More should be done like this. What happened to it?

Had it started about a week ago now First start! Satin black vb v6 - YouTube Now has a tail shaft ( vr man front vl rear) and a fuel tank need to re do feed line not happy with the one i did. 3 out of 4 Break callipers last one to go on tomorow ( just vr for now have vt callipers need some...

First gens cheek sills. a sharp tap should get a ping, dont want a hollow noise. Also bottom of doors, and around screens for rust. Most likely will have rust somewhere. (Vb-vk) (vn) Buy cars that the doors open. sounds obvious, even is a donor its is still a pain in the ass On Buick equipped...

Bet u cant wait for sle rims to get back from powder coaters? Its so pretty. sun visor and venetians would just Finnish it off. I like the air cleaner poking threw, supercharger next
