Just wondering if anyone knows if there is any difference between HQ-WB V8 engine mounts verses the VN-VS engine mounts? bout time for the VP injected 5lt to find its way into the HX's engine bay & I wanted to check if the VP mounts will bolt in there or if I need the earlier mounts...

has anyone fitted 4:11 diff gears into their VN-VP V8 commodore? I'm considering it but just curious as to how it drives & what sort of RPM it sits on at say 60 - 80 & 100kp/h its not the everyday car but if its going to be revving like crazy when cruising it may be a better idea to look...

last timing chain I fit & set up it was 180 out when set up. thats just how they are for some reason, set it all up as your sepposed to, then turn it over 180 an set your dizzy up to #1 plug. Completely went beyond all reason at the time, but thats how it worked. So sounds like your timing is...

yeah big block was the original thoughts but it's been done to death a bit so I thought I'd go more of a retrotech type ride, newer running gear as well as newer interior converted into it. Maybe metal mountain on then Ls1 down the track. figure the Ls1 will make good power stock for now & save...

looking into putting a Gen3 & auto conversion into my HX sedan project & was just wondering if anyone had done it or knew anyone worth talking to about it? things like where would i find engine & trans mounts? would I have to change any engine sensors? need different guages? speedo cable? can...

thanks for the thought, but im looking for a stock motor as I'll be building it into a stroker motor as soon as its all in place & registered. So a fully rebuilt 5litre would be a waste of a good motor in this case. Cheers

thanks for the info, narrows down the search to a 10 bolt diff. fingers crossed I can find a decent one. Would a diff out of an early statesman fit? like a WB stato. I figure thats my best bet for a disc brake salsbury diff, or a later model Premier perhaps?

not entirely sure to be honest, im new to the whole "pre commodore" world so im learning as i go and as i search forums for info. something strong enough to cope with a mild 304-355 V8 & turbo kitted box & that fits into a 1977 HX sedan. A 9inch would be great, not sure if it'd be in my...

looking to buy a 304 V8 motor and auto trans (either t400 or t700) to drop into my HX kingswood. Dont need ECU or loom or even manifold or injectors as I dont intend to use them. also looking for a carby manifold to suit the injected heads and a 650-750 double pumper carby. while im...

sorry mate, sold about 6 days after i first advertised it.

thanks James, im open to serious offers, after all, money talks! the bonnet has been resprayed before, if i was to keep it id spend $500 an get the roof & boot done on it too. If anyone wants me to do that I can (if you add 500 to the price that is) Cheers

yeah thats the one alright. Probably something I should have put in my first post is the price ey....i'll edit that now. after $3000 as is or $3500 with a RWC. Has rego until Oct 2008.

yeah in Geelong, Victoria ( its in my first post under my contact details & just before all the phtos)

Holden VN Calais - duel fuel - SOLD SOLD!

#1 looks like ignition module and loom to coilpacks from series 1 R33 RB25 (DE or DET???) #2 does look like the fuel injector loom, off which model engine though???? #3 RB20 covers should fit RB25's....but who would want to do that? only the top one is off RB20, the other 2 look like they...

Need some new injectors in my VL Berlina, its a 3.0lt N/A & auto. Dont want any bigger, just new stock ones. Mine are clogged up and 3 are leaking (run it on LPG most the time). best price i've found for a brand new set is $630, which I think is too much :bang: , was hoping not to spend that...

from what I've heard EBC pads arn't real good ( In brembo calipers anyway, tended to fade after hard use). Best I've heard about are the Ferodo 2500 series pads for street/track use or 3500 pads for pure track use. Or maybe racebrakes, RB47's I think they are, heard there good. gonna try...

yeah that'd be awsome! I have access to a press so thats no troubles, just let me know if you have it an what you want for it. Sending it via regestered post should only be around $10 i think? but let me know. my email is quickest way to reach me as I'm not on here that much...

I've scoured the globe in search of a throw-out bearing carrier, cant find one anywhere. Its for a VH commodore, 253, aussie 4spd. The bearing carrier is a metal one that requires the bearing to be pressed onto it. I really need that part as putting the old one back in is NOT an option, its...

I'm considering converting my VL to a disc brake rear end, going from a VK calais to drum rear VL you notice just how crap the drakes are. Anyone done this? know whats required? 1: do I need a different master cylinder? 2: can I use my drum diff an just change the brakes? or is it easier...

throw an RB26DETT (Nissan GTR engine, one out of a 33 preferably) in there!! engine mounts are the same as your current ones an it'll bolt up to your gearbox.

I priced this up aged ago for my skyline. Most places were around $7000ish to door a full colour change including engine bay, door jams & boot (in a coupe). Then I guess they'd be fitting a fairly complex bodykit on top of that so add say $1000-$1500 for fitting the kit. I'd say around the...

Repco can also get the Nolathane products (all the bushes your replacing and strut tops, and bump stops/dust boots, even get good Monroe shocks there), might even be a good idea to compare prices with Bursons.

yeah the bearing plate assembly, stock ones are rubber, better ones are the Nolathane. And chances are if the front is lowered with cut springs it probably wont even have any bump stops left so might need some new ones of those too. (unsure where you'd get those though sorry). good luck

anything from a VB VC VH or VL i know will be the same strut. VN - VP i think are the same but couldnt be 100%. should be able to pick up a decent secondhand pair pretty easy. Also is the car lowered?? if so how? if the springs were cut then that would actually be your most likely problem so...

ive seen the almighty CAPA ute been beaten buy guys in relitively stock s13 silvias before....hehe the ute still looks awsome though. Fords new XR6T drift car should be good to watch too. Good to see a good variety of cars out there mixin it up! although drift in VIC has gone to sh!t, only...

are they KING SRING ultra lows DAZ?? are they lowest off the shelf springs? mine sits about 1-2cm lower than that on cut springs (thats how I bought it 2 weeks ago, i didnt do it) and I wanted to replace it with some proper springs of similar height. I only have 17's though so i wanna make...

i'd guess the O2 sensor has had it and is making it run rich.. also, Optimax tends to do that a bit. I'm fairly new to these forums, having only just recently getting a VL for a daily driver, but have had experience on this in my skyine. The Optimax in my car had more of a strong fuel smell...

just put a RB26DETT Nissan GTR motor in there....same engine mounts, will bolt in with ease and you still get a twin turbo damn strong engine, bitta boost, aftermarket ecu, good full exhaust, big fuel pump, you'd be making btw 230-250kw (still standard motor & turbo's too) i'm pretty sure your...

have you checked your dizzy cap & rotor button? they tend to wear out... coilpack maybe? pretty sure mines misfiring due to clogged injectors..more food for thought...

key factor to any good drift car is set-up, regardless of power you have. the old school AE86's an stuff drift really well with stock power but a good set-up. someone mentioned softer suspension....quite the opposite, you need a stiff/firm suspenion set-up. Commodores dont handle as well as...

i figure after today that it is just the injectors being dirty or a bit clogged up. tested the afm today....seems to work fine, felt the fuel pump whilst the coughing an splattering was going on...so surging or anything going on there so it's fine. then i blocked of the fuel reg return...

ahah...ohms i understand.....in your first post it was hms...that confused me :D thanks i'll check it out tomorrow

lol.....so my berlina is basically a pov pack executive with flasher door trims and a rear seat arm rest....lol...cool thanks for all the replies so far, plenty of ideas. There's no fuel smell present at all. It could be the afm as when I adjust it, it makes no difference untill its nearly...

I recently bought myself a VL Berlina 1987 ( not sure its a real berlina?) these are the items I question being on a berlina: manual mirrors drum rear brakes wind up windows no cruise control either way I dont really mind, it's white ( all colour coded bumpers ) dark tint, low, VZ ss...
