Ive got a Vz ss L76 6lt auto that started throwing codes and blowing a fair bit of black smoke under acceleration along with chewing through fuel (approx 200-250km a tank) so ive since checked the codes and it came up with bank 1 sensor 1 too lean aswell as bank 2 sensor 1. Now i have replaced...

Hi all, im considering ditching my t5 borg warner that i currently have for my vr 304 for the t56 from the later commos. Ive seen that they now make bellhousings that adapt to the 304 with the t5 cable set up instead of hydraulic as i already have the cable setup and i imagine hydraulic pedal...

Hey, need some advice with my vx ss s2. In stop start traffic or sitting at lights it starts to run sluggish in d but clears up if i put it in n. Also after about 20 or so minutes of highway cruising at 100 the lifters tick and it feels like its got a miss or something. Its my first ls1 and i...

Hey, been a while since I've been on the forum. Mainly because i got myself my a r32 gtr which had all my attention and pretty much put my Vr senator in storage. But alot has changed this year, so i lost my license for a month and in that time i had a urgent family matter that i had to tend but...

Yep the plug wasn't in properly, so i fixed that, put the radiator in, checked all the fluids and it actually moved under its own power for the first time in years. So thanks for all the input guys. Couldnt have done it without your help

Ok i had another go at it and its gotten alot better. Its pretty much just a miss now so id say its the leads so ill see if i can grab some this week if i can be bothered. Issue i have now is im getting codes 67 and 83 which are both tranny faults. So im about to have a look at the plugs for the...

Ok ive gotten it to start, i undid the dizzy bolt and turned it while cranking it over and it got it running. But now its running horribly. I do have a timing light but when i connected it wouldnt work?? So i tested the light on my skyline and it worked so its not the test light. What do you...

Yeah ive done that, codes are all good

Ok. I got the shits with the car so i left it for a while but ive had another crack at it. Heres a basic run down Car is auto Swapped a vr 304 in a vs At first it wouldn't turn over but turned out to be the switch on the shifter Then the fuel pump wasnt working, found out the tank was...

ok... ive gotten a new key, tried swapping the ecu, coil, ignition module, checked that the leads are in the correct spots on the dizzy cap, replaced the rotor button, tried swapping the fuel lines over just incase i got them back to front and put about half a tank of 98 in it to see if it would...

Havent gotten around to playing with it yet but its got spark and its getting fuel, ive noticed that when im turning it over that it kinda sounds like the engine turns over fast, then slow, then fast etc. so my guess is that it is the timing (i hate doing timing on 5ltrs). Lucky i have my...

Nah i didnt think id have to as i used all the orginal vs sensors etc

Yeah it touches the tabs but Code 31 means Theft Deterrent Signal missing

Basically my vs clubsports old engine spun a bearing so ive swapped it out with a vr 5lt and fitted a new coil but since doing the swap it wont start. It gets all the reds on and security lights turn off, i checked for codes and it came up with code 31. Before i splash out on a new key is there...

Need some advice fellas, basically my vr hsv senator has had a flat battery for about 2 to 3 weeks and since i have other cars to use to get to work etc. But now i have fitted a new battery because luckly i left it popped and manually locked each door by hand but for some reason the doors wont...

Long story short, basically my key blade snapped, took it to the locksmith but he had dramas trying to cut it right so i left it with them for a few days. Picked it up, all works fine until I noticed some clown at the locksmith has actually stuck the broken bit into the boot lock. I dont know...

You can use all the auto wiring you will just have to modify it, ive done it twice with just the auto loom and the only issue is the eng check light stays on unless you get the memcal custom tunned (i had my done by A guy on this forum called greenfoam). I forget how i wired up the speedo but...

Im kinda stuck trying to figure out the issue with my brothers vt ss, basiclly he having drama with the drivers side power window, is goes down without any problems but wont come back up, weve swapped the switches and all the fuses and relays are sweet. ive also tested the motor by connecting it...

id give that a go and see how it goes, when you have the ac belt on does it squeal with or without the ac on? because my senator has started making the same sound after i have my ac on for a little while, which has been narrowed down to my ac pump just locking up randomly and the belt just...

ive had my car for 5 years and since ive had it its been sitting on teins which are lower than sssl's and the only problem is the cv boots tore, apart from that i havent seen any further damage to any commodore ive seen. Although ive heard that the increaced camber will push the axels hard into...

honestly to me i dont think something like a run of the mill hsv wont be worth big bucks for atleast 30 odd years and i doubt most people would hold onto a car for that long. i think you'd have to pick something exclusive enough for it to be worth something. Most hsv's are very mass produced...

believe it or not, some people dont even know about vs granges, personally id have a vs3 grange 215i over everything just because of how rare they are but if that wasnt a factor i'd pick a vr senator m6 215i over any other vr vs hsv. To me the vr senators have the nicest trim compared to the vs...

i did my inlet a few years back and i remember mine were metal on the sides and i think i fitted the cork gaskets to the front and rear of mine and havent had an issue since and im pretty sure i got them from autobarn but i remember they were a bit overpriced. if i were you id look into a full...

awesome choice dude, i always wanted a 215i vr-vs grange/statesman. Just a shame its so beat up so bad. But im sure its nothing that a bit of tlc cant fix. How many KMS has it done? i noticed that you mentioned the auto is a bit funny, just be careful they aren't known for being very strong when...

it will fit, just rattle gun the flanges off, then cut off the little locator on the vy pinion gear then bolt your orginial vs flange onto the vy diff.

Love what you've done with your wheels, it would've been pretty cool you made them 19s or 20s. It'd be a lot like those stomp drawings.

Make sure you reinforce it because its likely to happen again, I regretted not doing to mine the first time. Now I'm on subframe 3.

I just cut the tabs off the lip then sika flex the **** out of and wack it on and put a screw at either end then let it set. I've never had a drama with mine. Although I've found 2 vs Ss front lips on the side of the highway before because the standard way of fitting kits to the vr vs is half...

They didn't come with them, i own a vr senator and a vsII clubby and both of them just had a abs sticker in the centre bottom of the rear window. Personally I'd rather not have it say "I just want on" the hsv logo on its own look heaps better in my opinion.

Haven't been on here much lately because I've been too busy with my other cars so I haven't been able to do anything with the senator lately but I have fitted a s3 caprice console modified for a manual to replay the old doggy one I had plus I modified the console lid so I've finally got a cup...

you can still use the auto loom/ecu but youll have to get the memcal tuned for the manual(do a search for greenfoam) but heres the wiring i used but i forgot how i wired the speedo but heres a photo of what wires you have to work on (they go to the auto t-bar sensor thing so i'd just cut them...

Basically my brother is having a problem with his drivers side window, ive done a search and i couldn't find anything that would help. But the window goes down just fine but wont come back up. so we have tried changing the switches and still the same thing. so every time someone accidentally...

i traded a set of 20x8.5, 20x9 ve gts copies for them, i just wanted genuine hsvs at the time. i like my commodores slammed in the ass personally. Even sssl in the rear are too high for me hence why i got the teins with pedders ssl in the front which make it sacked as low as i can pretty much go...

nah mate, thats at harrys dinner in brissy. its pretty much the local cruising starting point for the highway runs.

yeah i've always loved the 32r's so im pretty happy i finally got one even if its taken a lot of work and money to get it where it is, i still love it. Theres something different about driving a import. yeah the vz has a full come stroker kit and a few other goodies, he has it listed on pro...

Yeah I like the wheels but I like to change the look every so often. Yeah I got it buffed to see how it would come up and it look a little better but being from Japan it has too much rust for my liking so I need to get it s cut out and fixed so it'll look mint. I've lined up a t04z that I might...

Here's my two vr vs's. my vr senator manual and my vs Clubby with my r32 gtr. The senator is the daily, clubby is a work in progress and the gtr is the toy.

yeah just a typo theyre +15 all round, yeah i originally was planing on get some miesters, professors or bbs lm but at the time i needed wheels asap and but i couldnt find anything in the right offset or size i wanted, but theyre were cheap, plus if they get rashed i dont really care as much as...

wow, its been dead in here. But owell haha. since my last post the 32 has changed quite a bit. ive had the motor out for the second time because i stupidly spun another bearing. But its all together now and since i had the motor out i fitted some new n1 turbos, fitted a elec oil pres gauge, a...

havent had a update in a while but not alot has changed, except ive had the exhaust redone with just 2 resisinators to replace the mufflers and ive fitted some new 20s, 0h and my new sticker.
