Is the delco hacking forum still going? One of those guys would be able to clone your vs tune into a vy computer

It's an LS. If it has oil pressure just drive it normally and sensibly.

Had 2 Eatons now in VY series cars. The first was a bit clunky but it was behind a cranky manual. Still performed mint. Current one in the Monaro is a lot better. Powertrax look like a torsen style which is what the Eaton/Harrop units are. They will still single up if they get super low...

Buy the PWR kit that suits your model and it comes with instructions. All plug and play. Just need to remove front bar.

Throw in a VY Series 2 or later rear cradle along with a 4 point camber kit and that's about the best you'll do.

If theres no noise or play in the bearings - play on. If the CV boots aren't torn or making noises - play on.

You can practically hear the electrolysis in this photo lol

Put a cover over the Monaro so i could do some grinding in the shed. Took the cover off and closed the garage. :p

L67 was first mounted East-West in the American cars before it came here. Thermostat would have been a dream to change then.

What was the performance gain like? Was it noticeable?

This mod might make the car at least drivable until you can sort it out properly. Or leave it as is to be hectic! lol For my knowledge, can you just swap bellhousings on the 60e's to go from ecotec to LS1 / 5L??

If you don't put up who done your tune, how can people research like you said? If old mate has done a **** tune, wont or can't fix it, put it out there so other people who may not be in the know don't get burnt.

*LS Swap enters the chat*

Why pass on helpful info like that for?

Is it still a dash out job to do a core in a VQ? VT onwards is...

You turning the ignition the right way? Our series 3 turned 'left' to glow the plugs then back to the right to start. The diesel in that must have been healthy as it never needed them providing it was driven a few times a week.

Not impossible but a very big job. Easier to sell your V6 Calais and buy a V8 based Calais to start from.

Might as well be dead

Any truth to the rumour that he had his 3rd jab and had seen his doctor before he flew out about chest pain?

Get a manual tune put in it or find a manual vy v6 ecu and bcm and fit

Helical gear driven LSD center. Acts like a normal open diff under normal driving conditions but will transfer power to a slipping/spinning wheel when it happens almost instantly.

Just went from 3.08 to 3.73 with a truetrac behind a 4 speed LS1. One of the best mods imo.

Does it have any coolant in it? Has the cooling system been bled? Not sure on the procedure or if its required for a alloytec. Does it cool down if you bring the revs up a bit whilst sitting still? If so, the water pump might be shagged.

What Lex said. Start there.

Get some factory bi modal mufflers and put them behind a 3" system.

So who's in favor of Comrade Dan's' proposed new laws?

Giving them a refresh / rebuild isn't that hard and pretty cheap if they aren't worn or making any noises. Simply you pry the end cap off (it's just pressed on), remove a circlip and that will let the cv slide off the axle. Remove the boot and give the axle and cv a good clean. Refit new...

There's no money in healthy people.

I seen a few weeks ago someone local was making adapter plates to fit the LS1 intake. Would help matters greatly.

I dont think the BCM can be changed like that. You need to physically change it to the high spec unit along with linking it or getting the matching ECU.

Pretty pumped to be paying all this lockdown support money back until i retire/die along with my son having to pay it back aswell.

I think i know the one. When i put aftermarket bushes in (camber kit) it comes with 2 short bolts for that spot that go in from either end.

or the slide pins are dry and need a grease

Maybe the weight transfer as you swing your hectic hellies is causing one wheel to unload enough that the diff is opening up like it's got no resistance on it to make the diff work correctly.

Sniper EFI. Will take a lot of headache out of it. Plus it looks cooler too!

Hall sensor in dizzy. Coil. Ignition module. Coolant temp sensor for ECU. All these things can make it do what you saying. Try a vacuum gauge on it. Very handy old school tool will give you some clues. https://www.onallcylinders.com/2016/03/31/vac-visual-quick-guide-vacuum-gauge-readings/

My feet used to get wet in my 2A driving through a light shower.

It's cute how you think a Landrover is sealed to the elements. :p

Ratio will be fine. Climb under and double check your tailshaft mates to the diff with a rubber donut and not a uni. You should be right though.

Mrs put about 20 odd liters of petrol in our TDI cruze and done 200 odd km's on that tank. Drained tank and lines, changed filter, purged with new diesel and didn't miss a beat after that.
