sorry to jump on a old thread but im just trying to suss out the best way to ajust my cable clutch Ive never had an issue in past clutches ive done but i done a manual conversion on my new vn probably 3 months ago and ive clocked up around 10000km before I decided to pull the motor for a clean...

note: i do relize its not currently sitting flush an that it would help but its still to long as you can tell in the photo, cheers

So had abit of a play around today an mounted it to the top lip for the moment things fit relatively snug but as youll see in the photo below it looks like its 10mm to long as it snags on the door an doesnt actually sit flush, I might have to trim and Massage them to fit but before doing that i...

yeah theyre on the correct side i just dont have any vp’s to compair how they fit,

9 year old thread but thought id ask anyway i just went to pick a part an scored a set for $20 but the brackets had been taken got them home an lined the up on my vp ( its a berlina ) making brackets an mounting aint an issue but i sat them in place an theres a reasonable sized gap?

Ok bit of an update I hooked my jump pack straight to the starter an arc’d it out an it wound over but wouldnt start which made me think maybe the power wire going to the starter was a dud, anyway i went off had a coffee an came back an thought ill check the battery voltage again checked it an...

theyre all tight no corrosion etc, it’s weird because it took longer an longer to start each day untill yesterday then it wont even crank over

Im an idiot im always reading in the vn section didnt even think about it Lol & yeap all clean an tight

Yup tried that & NSS was next on my list the only reason i havent tried it yet is that the car was just taking longer to crank over so i asummed the starter was slowly giving in, o yeah that could be the go i might look into that in the morning frustrating as hell

Hi folks i just got a vs not long ago an was running good but the last week it took a littlebit more than usual to windover, i went shopping came back an it wouldnt start no crank nothing my first thought was startermotor because i had power to everything but it wouldnt even crankover. anyway...

Ok so finally got a chance to get my hands on this ute and ive gone through replaced coils/module, balancer & cas, ecu and still no spark hmm im very lost at this point

Ill have to have a look being that its swapped and not factory im not sure how I would go with doing a code check wether the plugs there to do the old paperclick trick

Update: sent a new crank angle sensor over to be installed being that im away an cant work on it atm and still has no spark So coils/cpm , cas, still no spark aparntly they had tried another ecu on it aswell but that didnt seem to help anything i am kind of stuck Its Series 2 also but thinking...

Hey fellas just after some knowledge/ advice a while ago I brought a mazda b2000 ute with a buick 3.8 swap thing was awsome but life happens and i had to sell it, Long story short i brought it back and now seems to be going through crank angle sensors like tictac’s and idea’s on what could be...

Hello, So i just got a phone call from a mate he’s having trouble with statermotors in his 3.8 vx commodore and being in a different country i cant just pop round for a look lol but heres the problem. The starter shat itself and so he got a replacement and fitted it and its snapped the casing...

Cheers for all the replies sorry I forgot to update the problem, I spend hours going through wires and checking any thing and everything i was just about to give up when i seen a wire had come off the electric fan and was earthing to the chassis. I didn’t really think anything of it but i had...

Its a hard one ive got one aftermarket wire to cut before i start looking into the loom, where abouts was the wire you cut im just looking at some wiring diagrams ive got here

Update: i cleaned up and removed the wiring and threw another fuse in the old girl and it popped again, so im going to go through the wiring this weekend and delete anything that isnt factory, it seems theres also 2 aftermarket wires that run through the firewall but they’re coming off the...

Well now i feel like a muppet spent ages trying to figure it out then 10 minutes after a make this thread i find it. Something so simple owell ill get a fuse and try again tomorrow haha cheers for the help fellas

Yeah ive been doing that trying to get my head around the issue but i think I possibly might have just solved it, I have a fan thats wired in separatly that comes off the positive on the battery and runs to the fan i just noticed that its come loose at a connection between the fan and battery...

Yea ill chuck a spare switch in this weekend and see if it susses the problem any other earths other than the one by the battery? Na no rats in the shed its a pretty clean shed, we don’t really have that issue over here luckily

Yea thats kinda what i was thinking but i thought that would affect both sides rather than just the one, it still has no low beam witch Is another issue im confused about Its also hasnt been out the garage in ages i go start it up every week or two but this weekend i came across these issues...

Yea double checked fuses and relays, I found a wire that wasn’t to flash so i re Soldered it, Now i have the drivers side indicators working aswell but they’re flashing as if a bulbs out, still no hazard lights ether

so ive got a vg ute and I recently started it up and found drivers side lights don’t work headlight, indicators even hazzards dont work on drivers side. The only light that works is the park lights and high beam, even the indicator light on the dash doesnt go, i thought it might be a relay or...
