    VR V6 to V8 conversion tips (electrical debunking)

    On the tail shaft the length from the center uni back to the diff is determined by IRS or live axle suspension, the part from the back of the gear box to the center uni is determined be the gearbox type manual/auto (this is why you can also bolt a rb series engine into a vn/vp/vr with vl parts...

    VY / VZ Power Window Switches into VR / VS : I need a wiring diagram or example

    Should be, but you will need to check the pin outs for the VE window and mirror switch block and make sure the VR/VS is similar like the VT-VZ one. The VE has 2 plugs in it, one the same as the VT-VZ window switch but only the top row has pins and a smaller plug with more pins. You would need to...

    Been Holden Out- Middle Aged Noob gets First Holden Ever- VS Ute- This Gonna be Fun!

    Seems like you are putting in a solid effort! Easiest way to check the wheel bearings is to jack the car up and spin the wheel by hand, easiest to do front up then rear up and do both sides at the same time. Hazard switch isn't too hard to get to but you need to be careful as the clips...

    Been Holden Out- Middle Aged Noob gets First Holden Ever- VS Ute- This Gonna be Fun!

    The water pumps have a tiny hole to let it weep a little so you know it's about to crap itself. Would be worth changing it to be safe they are cheap as and give the block a good reverse flush so it's all clean. It's worth buying a gregorys manual for the car they are worth their money if you...

    VR V6 to V8 conversion tips (electrical debunking)

    If you look for the 2 different ecu pin outs it not that hard you only need to change a few pins from memory, I converted a v6 auto loom to v6 manual years ago since I had gotten a vn s1 car to take the manual out of and the loom with it didn't have the same plugs and spent days rooting around...

    VY / VZ Power Window Switches into VR / VS : I need a wiring diagram or example

    It is a brand new SSS parts brand switch, might need to open it and have a look at it. I'll swap the wires to another switch on the block and see it happens with that. Will look in my wiring diagram book to see whats what and how to bypass if the switch isn't faulty. Update - bypassed bcm by...

    Ve rotor spacers for vs hubs

    Thank you very much for that, makes it look simple. I can get some steel cut and drilled at work so it makes it even easier. Looking to go the 330mm 32mm VT HSV rotors when I get to this, will be good to have commodore rotors instead of territory modded rotors.

    Ve rotor spacers for vs hubs

    Those are solid brackets markovr, can i ask what the distance between the two sets of holes is (center line to center line between the two sets, like in picture below) and if you are using v6 or v8 calipers. I was thinking of a flat plate as the kit ones offset it around 8mm making it need the...

    Did this mod to my VR Calais, when the bcm tries to do the auto up or down for the drivers window the drivers window stops working all together. The regulator is fine tested it with the battery, switch is fine tested its sending 12v and -12v to the regulator. Anyone know how I can bypass it...

    304 retro-fit knock sensor

    Yea I know that but the above hsv memcal of bck2basics you said was a v6 board which is identical to mine, mine checks out as a real v8 knock board.

    VR V8 manual exec ecu into auto clubsport

    Knock boards are not something you can easily add to a memcal, as wraith said you should use your stock Holden v8 manual memcal without knock with a reputable proper tune and only use 98 fuel. The memcal from the hsv auto ecu won't work you will have to find one. I was lucky to get a new old...

    VR V8 manual exec ecu into auto clubsport

    if you want to change the clubby to a manual you will need to use your manual ecu and get a hsv memcal with knock board (make sure it's a v8 knock board as the v8 and v6 are different) if you want to keep the hsv tune with knock sensor, if you don't care about knock sensor or hsv tune you can...

    VS V8 Caprice weird transmission issue

    Your bulb might be blown for it and might be tripping codes but you don't know. The knock sensor is only for fuel cutting when the engine is pinging or knocking from bad fuel mixture. I'd say check codes, but I've had those symptoms in a few Commodores and a new throttle position sensor...

    why am i getting further in power mode?

    from what i could see from looking at the ecu file pwr mode also increases the pressure for 1st and 2nd gear. that might help since it'd use less power to get it moving with more pressure in the lines.

    How do you remove the fuel sender/pump assembly in a VR V8 sedan?
