    6l80 conversion to early commodore

    I'm interested in this for my VR Statesman 5.0, as I have a spare 6l80e & the 5.0 has a turbohydramatic bolt pattern, will just have to find a torque converter that will connect to the 2

    [VE] WM Caprice High Beam Light Upgrade

    Hi, I have replaced the poor high beam bulbs in my WN with 10000k HIDs, it's a little involved but not impossible, the hardest part is the metal clip that holds the halogen bulb in place has to be modified to hold the HID bulbs, the HID igniter is held in place by 1 of the headlight washer...

    Bridgestone or Michellin

    Ok sorry, no I was going to take them to my local tire fitter. I have some 19x9 b XHP blades that I can use as a backup if they refuse to fit them. Thank you for your reply

    Bridgestone or Michellin

    The Michelin sport pilot 4 S I now run are the biggest waste of money I've ever spent on tire's still have plenty of tread but fight for traction in the dry & forget about wet weather. I'm going to a Vredstein ultrac vorti tire's if I can find them, absolutely the best tire I have ever had &...

    VE brake conversion kit

    DBA make a VT to VR/VS rotor for this conversion, you will have to trim the backing plate as the VT caliper will interfere as it is bigger.

    Which OTR intake is best?

    Hi All, I've ordered a Ramjet 3 OTR for my LS3 WN Caprice, that was 3 months ago & I'm still waiting. So if you want 1 of these for my car, be prepared for a very long wait. It appears that the manufacturer of these GM Motorsport, is having issues getting the K&N air filters.

    Bridgestone or Michellin

    Hi All, I put some 20s potenzas on my LS3 WN Caprice, & was really happy with them for about a year & then they literally turned to s--t. I have since put the 19s back on the rear with a 255 Michelin, it's early days but they seem ok for now.

    Wm caprice 6L v8 headlights

    Hi All, I get a problem every now & again with the driver's side low beam on my WN Caprice, all I do to turn the lamp back on is flick the light switch on & off a couple of times, it always works. I have seen this a couple of times on other Caprices

    Vf2 SS crap low beam

    Hi All, I replaced high beams in my WN Caprice with HIDs, it was a little involved, but well worth it, also while I was in there, I changed the low beams from the factory 4300s to 10000s, again the lighting is amazing. I used eBay special's & they've last, I bought the German brand & 1 blew...

    What year is your VF with injectors issue?

    Hi decided if Holden don't come to the party, I'd better have a backup solution, so changed out the fuel rail & injectors for an L98 6.0 fuel rail & injectors. Same problem, ended up being 2 coil's ( Accel super coils) I definitely don't recommend them

    What year is your VF with injectors issue?

    Hi I have a WN series 2 Caprice with 98,000ks & it started missing yesterday morning on first start up. Changed spark plugs/ coil packs & checked leads, all to no avail Then googled LS3 VF injectors & across this issue. Car booked in for Friday, here's hoping Holden comes to the party

    Trailer wiring harness (genuine) - plug and play?

    Hi All, just fitted a towbar from my WM Caprice, to my WN Caprice. Had to get a whole new trailer wiring harness. Easy to install, but had no power, so went to auto electrician, had no luck there, so had to take it to Holden, & yes it had to be programmed to work. All good now

    Which VF SS OTR CAI is best ?

    Hi Ramjet 3 is said to be worth 32hp without a tune
  19. Merv Murray

    Which VF SS OTR CAI is best ?

    I believe so on the Ramjet 3. There is an option for MAF or MAFLESS

    Which VF SS OTR CAI is best ?

    Hi I'm going for a Ramjet 3 on my WN Caprice. It's the biggest available & way better than looking than their first effort.

    VF Series II Calais OR WN Caprice?

    & I had 19inch XHP jets & wanted 20 inch but they didn't make them in that size,so I got the closest thing to the jets, Blades,so I bought 2 & put them on my VS. Then alot later I went to get 2 more & XHP were no more. So im stuck with 2 20inch Blades on the rear for the time being.

    VF Series II Calais OR WN Caprice?

    Hi the reason my WN has miss matching wheels is because the car yard I bought it from put cheap Asian tyres on the rear, & an LS3 with bad rear tyres is recipe for disaster. They are from my VS Statesman &-

    VF LS3 harmonic balancer

    Hi All I had the same noise/problem on my WN LS3 Caprice. There was a lot of wobble from the harmonica balancer. I had a 25% underdrive balancer on an L98 so swapped it out & all problems fixed. Posted elsewhere the parts required.

    VF Series II Calais OR WN Caprice?

    Hi Pay the extra & get a WN with an LS3. If you buy 1 with an L77 then happen to drive 1 with an LS3 you will be really pissed off. I still have a WM with an L98 but also have a WN with the LS3. I payed $28,000 before dealer add ons with 59k on the clock. Two years old & still like a new car...

    VF Series II Calais OR WN Caprice?

    Hi WN Caprice all the way. Get it in a rare colour combination. I feel the longer wheel base hugs the road better,but depends on your tire choice(I'm running 255/35r20s potenzas on the rear) & it bites hard & launches even harder.I thought my WM Caprice was a good car but my WN is a whole...

    VF Series II Calais OR WN Caprice?

    Hi I have a WN Caprice V in the rare colour of Empire bronze. These car's may be a VE on the outside but they more than make up for it on the inside & with the LS3 & standard exhaust what a sleeper. If you want to noise it up put the bimodal mufflers from a VF ute on, i done this on my WM,one...
