So i have got a series 1 vn engine, other than the crank being 6 bolt and intake manifold being different is there any other major differences between series 1 and 2 ? Could i just put a series 2 crank in and intake manifold ? Anyway ill be doing a rebuild over time and using this thread...

Just thought I'd post up a few pics of my new project. It is a 1993 Model VR Executive Converted to T5 Manual with heavy duty clutch. Picked it up for $1000 off a mate that had lost motivation. I was happy with the price as there is quite a few goodies on the car. It has a freshened up top...

Does anyone have a wiring diagram to wire up autotecnica digital oil pressure and volts gauges ? Or can give me a brief description. Oil pressure gauge has Green wire to run to the sensor, 1 wire to run to the power source and one to run to ignition. Volts has 1 to run to power and 1 to...

What is needed to fit ve seats into vz ? I know the front rails will need changing and apparently the switch is back to front (push down and the seat goes up) But I'm more curious to know what modifications are needed to fit the rear seat? Anyone done this before ? Thanks in advance!

He showed me the pistons and there is deifinetly damage to them, he said himself that the pistons should never go up that far, it's my dad's mate so he wouldn't rip me. Comcar in reservoir, North of melbourne. Haven't got pictures

My l67 had just had a new fuel filter, air filter, oil filter, plugs, leads and the rest. The mechanic showed me the spark plugs where the pistons had shot right up and smashed them. The big job begins tomorrow! I'm hoping it's done by Wednesday, he said the end of the week though so probably...

Would it be fine to keep the 10 pound pulley on it with no mods? Or am I better off putting it back to 6?

Found out it dropped two pistons, second hand engine installed for $2500 170,000kms, new charger gaskets, changing the 10 pound pulley to the stock 6 as he seems to think it had to much boost without having a strengthened bottom end. And replacing the pod filter with the stock air box. Get the...

So I had the car for 24 hours and it's now in the mechanics. Was on my way to Ballarat on the freeway going 90. I put my foot down (not going to lie) the charger kicked in. Heard a crunch and then a pop. The car was like it was running on 4-5 cylinders after that. Its Chugging and the engine...

Okay I'll try to explain it the best I can. The car idle sounds as if the revs are going up and then dropping, happens every 2-3 seconds but the revs don't seem to move on the dash. It doesn't do it when you first start the car, happens a minute or two later. When driving normal it sounds...

The kick back is insane when you put your foot down. Wheel spins anywhere wet or dry even on the 19s And having the 10 psi pulley with the pod filter it whines like a little girl haha. I love the supercharge whine but I don't think it will be as loud once I get rid of the pod filter

Yeah I love the cream leather! Got big plans for this car though, I want to get it re upholstered in white leather with blue stitching and get it re sprayed in turismo blue. Not going to spend much money on the engine as I plan on dropping an ls1 in it when I get off my P's. Sound system is a...

Yeah a full detail is first on my list to do. I had 5k for a car and was looking good for 3 things. Cream leather. Supercharged. Sunroof. considering I got all three of them and change I'm pretty stoked! Still unsure whether to go with the mace air box or growler. Any suggestions? Cheers

Thought I'd put up some photos of my new car, paid $3,500 with 5 months reg and rwc. V6 Supercharged 250,xx kms Auto Tight LSD cream leather interior Factory sunroof Has a 10 psi pulley. Catback (not sure what brand) Pod filter which makes the supercharger whine off its head! But I'm...

Would it be a pretty straight forward job putting splits in the Vr? It has the vents in the dash but they need to be cut out? A mate has 6.5" Kicker ks60.2 I think they are for $50.and the stock speakers are almost gone!

Thanks buddy, yeah I'll definitely be lowering it whether the springs will fit in the vy or not, the rear is ridiculously high!

I'm really hoping the wiring is there otherwise I don't think I'll bother with foggies, as I mentioned I'll be getting a vy in a couple months so I'd prefer to spend money on things I can transfer straight over like springs, speakers, wheels ect. And just keep the stock Vr parts in the shed so I...

Thanks guys for the tips and feedback, I'll definitely be lowering it, if I wasn't going to lower it then a step ladder would probably be best haha. Yeah I'm going to be servicing everything aswell. Oil, fuel and air filters, brakes, all fluids, belts, plugs and leads. I think I will leave...

So I've been snooping around the forums for about 6 months now, thought I'd make an account, and say hello. I have bought a Vr berlina for $400 as a temporary car until I get money on my 21st for a VY Calais. From what I can tell it doesn't need very much for a roadworthy apart from tires...
