    Dumb question about converting my VR V8 to manual.

    Thanks for that info! I'm liking the sound of this 6 speed more and more! Will have to look into how hard it is to find one and obviously its going to be worth more too. Well by the looks of it i think ill be looking for a VN-VR T5 V8 gearbox or the T56 V8 gearbox and will probably go the cable...

    Dumb question about converting my VR V8 to manual.

    Yea mate i've done about 3 manual conversions now, all on mates cars and they were all imports lol. Just trying to see what box i should be buying. I know the T5's are for the VN-VR/S V6 and the Getrag in the VS onwards for V6, but still unsure of V8 :(

    VR SS starting problem

    Im pretty sure its injectors because the car starts fine if started a short time after turning off, where as if left longer is very hard to start, lots of black smoke :( What happens with leaking injectors? Do i have to just replace them? Is it more likely to be more than one injector? How do i...

    VR SS starting problem

    Thanks mate ill have to look into that, and i think you are onto something because today when i started the car i watched the back end and i saw a few puffs of black smoke (fuel) coming out the exhaust for a second or two while starting. One started there is no black smoke and car operates normally.

    VR SS starting problem

    Hey guys. Recently aquired a 94 VR SS. It was starting fine when i picked it up and all that day. Now when i go to start it, it cranks for ages before it starts to fire and even then i have to give it a few pumps of the accelerator and she splutters back to life. Once the car is started it...

    what is a knock sensor

    A knock sensor is essentilly that. Its a small sensor which is actually a microphone which listens out for detonation (pinging), the sensor sends information to the engines computer and it will adjust the timing until the detonation stops. Detonation happens when the air/fuel combust before...

    Stroking a 304 to 355. Questions and advice.

    Thanks for your replies guys. Ok cool ill note that compression ratio down. Yea, i think easiest option for me would be a Raptor or similar brand supercharger as you mentioned. I believe the crank with the motor is an Eagle crank. So from what you've said i might give it a miss. Ill probly just...

    Stroking a 304 to 355. Questions and advice.

    Ok, well im starting to get serious about starting a project of building a motor to put in a car of choice later on. First im going to build the motor. I want to do a 355 with some sort of blower to get a nice power figure. I have decided to stroke the 5ltr rather than droppin in an LS1 for many...

    vn S1 coolant leaking into block and crank not turning

    Sounds like somethings going on. Make sure you havent connected a wrong hose to the manifold somewhere, possibly a heater hose or something. I only think that because there was water pooled on top of your valve, had to have come in through the inlet manifold somewhere. And as to the engine...

    Opinions on choice of V8 for build?

    Ok, ill have a think about it for a bit. I really wanted the car to sound nice too so leanin towards 5l for that fact and also would like to keep in fairly original but realising will have to spend more $$$ to do this. LS1 still an option though. Might go look at some Youtube videos :) Thanks...

    Opinions on choice of V8 for build?

    Ok. So if i choose the LS1 transplant.. I'm looking at buying a motor and box obviously and the conversion kit (not sure what this would consist of as i'd probly do most of it myself apart from the wiring). Whats a good price for a LS1 motor and box and other needed bits and pieces (tailshaft...

    Opinions on choice of V8 for build?

    Well my only real goal is to just have a nice powerful car to drive when i want. Reliability would be prefered but not imperative as i'll have a daily. For arguments sake id say between 11-13 second car. The car won't be used for only 1 thing ie: drift/drag, but more just a nice car to drive and...

    Couple of technical questions.... :)

    I bought the kit off a mate who had it all made up for him on his car. I paid $500 for the whole lot. It was pretty cheap, or so he keeps telling me. HAHA.. Basically the pulley looks like it may have been made up for this application. Only reason i say so is coz it has welds around the outside...

    Couple of technical questions.... :)

    Hey. When i said my gauge and other accessories are on my 'intake manifold' i mean that they are actually on the manifold itself, so it should get both boost and vac, i think u might be thinking that its before my supercharger. My boost gauge is sitting down in the part underneath my cd player...

    Rear main seal leaking after Supercharger

    Hey guys, got myself a series 1 Vn V6. Decided to put one of the CRS superchargers on.. And now my motor is blowing oil out the ass end of it. The blower is only running a 3 psi pulley so im sorta confused. Can anyone shed some light on why this is happenin and maybe a way of fixing it? Cheers

    Sticky throttle

    Hey guys.I had the same problem with my car when i out a 70mm tb on. It idles at like 1500 upwards. I found that quickly tapping the accelerator with my foot at idle would make it return down to its normal idle. Im not sure whether it was because the spring was new and was tight or something...

    Pod Filters

    Well we all understand the base principal behind all of this. Less restriction on air flow is better as more air goes into your motor. The colder the temperature of the intake air is better because its more dense, thus allowing more air into the engine's combustion chamber. So from my...
