    [QLD] 94 VR COMMODORE, Body Kit, Paint, Rims

    I haven't tried to get RWC yet, and im not a mechanic. But all i can see is the rear tyres being too low. Also the a/c needs regassing since engine swap. The mechanic didnt say anything else while doing the swap either.

    thermo fan question

    Think ive fixed the prob, checked the sensor, and it was within spec. Had a good look at wiring, and saw wiring had been hacked into, and modified to run straight though the fan relay, so to keep it running all the time. I think they did this due to the temp gauge not working before i did the...

    thermo fan question

    Thanks for your responses, I'm going to give my coolant temp sensor a look at tomorrow, as it also has a hard time starting when cold, no temp signal from sensor = wrong fuel ratio i am guessing?? If no go, i switch sounds like the way to go.

    Will a Lexcen bonnet fit a Commodore?

    Just wanting to know if a VR Lexcen bonnet will mate right with a VR Commodore. I believe the Lexcen guards are stato ones, does this effect the bonnet shape at all?

    knock, knock!

    just removed belt, still happens with it off - that sucks! harmonic balancer seems to have no play at all. It has had a new alternator put on, but other than that, i'm not sure, as i've just recently bought it. Is it at all weird that it only happens in neutral & park??

    Help with VR :)

    The missing/farting ended up being a faulty spark plug from REPCO, which is funny, because it had the same problem before i changed them, which made me think it was something else going on. Anyhoo no more missing, could still be running a little rich, so will change that o2 sensor asap.

    Wiring Help anyone??

    Not sure if this helps. The hole where the wires come out of the firewall is basically behind the brake booster. On further inspection, i noticed these are probably not supposed to be taped together, and the labeled wires actually have 4 wires in one. So this is what i have: Labeled OIL ...

    Wiring Help anyone??

    I have just noticed that i have three cut wires under the hood of my newly acquired VR Commo. Two are labeled. Temp & Oil the other is not. My temperature gauge is not working, and i'm not too sure about oil..? so i am guessing these wires are for the dash. (They go through the firewall)...

    Fuel System...

    Hi there, i've just bought a VR commo which had been sitting for 6 - 12 months. I drove it back to brisbane from the gold coast, and something shat itself on the way. My fuel pump doesn't engage anymore - could a blocked fuel filter cause this, or has the pump died?? I've replaced the fuel...

    Bonnet Jammed

    Just had the same sort of prob. If you look under you should see a round hole with a mechanism that looks like it will take a flat head screw driver. All i had to do was unscrew it like a half turn, and now she opens alot more freely. Also put some WD40 on all the bits (greese would be better)...

    Problem whilst fixing odometer

    Got it working, i hadn't severed the PCB board thankfully, so i decided to pull the thing fully apart again and put it back together, and now she's working. I'm thinking i may not have tightened the nut enough on one of the connecters that touch the board. Thanks heaps for your reply :)
