Great work if you did. Removing and replacing the manifold is a **** of a job. The firewall seems to block access to get it out How did you get it out?

Had the same issue although cranking over seemed like the battery was flat. Replaced starter and still the same. Retarded the timing and sometimes would start and sometimes not. Decided to change the coil and distributor. Moved the coil to the firewall and is easy to get to and took 5 mins to...

The diff in my VS statesman seems to have reverted to a Normal diff so I have got hold of an LSD from a VZ (3.07 ) mine is 3.08. Will it bolt up the same and is all I have to do is swap the rubber mount on the pinion with the 4 bolt yoke for my tailshaft and cut the pinion bolt by 25mm to have...

Just manged to get the ECM fault codes and it shows fault code 15. This says high voltage yet I don't measure a high voltage . Less than 2 v. The yellow wire seems like it goes to earth as it has a good earth resistance, Is this normal?

Thanks for the info. At least I have an idea what to do. I'll check today when weather clears.

I'll check that thanks

I have a VP and did an engine swap with a VR and removed the non working air con setup from engine bay but left wiring attached to nothing. When the car starts it runs for1 min then the fan starts and check engine light comes on and both stay on. I changed back to the original sensors that...

Sorry to be ignornat but how to I do a code check. And what gear do I need to do one.

Yeah could be right either way. I'll check the wiring first up and if I cannot find anything I'll get a new sensor. Where is the best place to get one from ??

Heres the link https://forums.justcommodores.com.au/threads/solution-sticky-fuel-temp-guages.15436 Also just check connections to the sender at the tank.

Thanks for the reply. Just discovered that the check engine light comes on as the fans kicks in. 50 secs after starting. The same sensors from the old engine are now in the new motor and worked fine. We used the alternator from the VR which has wiring at the top and required to pull extra wiring...

Whats the gauge doing?? There is a thread to check the solder joints and I also found an issue with the sender at the tank had badly corroded connections . Checked these two and works fine

Hey I need help to work out which is the ECU temp sensor and which sensor controls the thermo fan relay. I did an engine swap with a VR and removed the non working air con setup from engine bay but left wiring attached to nothing. When the car starts it runs for 2 to 3 mins then the fan starts...

Thanks for the info . not sure about the relay as the only one I can see is the one near the battery, but I will try changing the sensors and see how that goes

I am thinking it may have kore to do with removing the air con and leaving the wiring not connected to anything. It seems the fan cuts in similar to switching the air con on . Does anyone know which wire(s) do I need to join - cut remove to disable the aircon switching? The ellerys book does not...

I have just swapped out my VP v6 man for a VR donor that was auto. A few minor setback later it fires up ok but the fan comes on after running on idle for less than 2 mins and the gauge has not moved very much. Neber did this before in either car. Would take 10 mins or longer for the fan to kick...

Thanks for the quick replies. Nice to know what to look for before I have to fault find after it doesn't fire up. So it looks like I just swap the fly wheel, bolt on the manual gearbox and use the wiring thats on the VP motor and put onto the VR and should be all good to go. Not being an auto I...

The harmonic balancer on my VR has **** itself and I can get one from a VP. Will it fit? I know early VPs were differant and how can I tell . The vp was a 92 model but is there any way to tell from looking at the balancer? Or bite the bullet and get a new one? How hard to change the front seal...

I want to swap the crapped out series II 3.8manual motor for a VR auto motor and want to know if I can do a straight swap without too many dramas. I have searched and found a few threads but not quite the answers I need. Can I just swap the man flywheel onto the VR and bolt up the manual...

Had a similar issue with my VP due to badly corroded bulb holders and was told by wreckers second hand ones will do the same thing. It is an earth issue due to the high current draw for the stop lights. The bad earth causes the current not to be able to pass thru. I cleaned each bulb holder and...

Having just completed the conversion, the write up was very helpful. I also replaced the wheel bearings which were ABS as well as the tie rod end and ball joint. I purchased the rotors for a VT and also had to get the shim to fit the VT rotor. The shim seemed to be tapered as it fitted better...

I had exactly the same problem. I tried the usual check of the Voltage regulator etc. The problem was the connection from the sender unit in the tank to the wiring connector that goes to the fuel gauge had corroded. I cut off the connector from the wiring loom, took it apart and throoughly...

Tried to remedy the fuel gauge not working by following the detailed instrutions but still ended up with the gauge showing a quarter tank when nearly full. The previous owner had known about the volatge regulator and had had it resoldered. I also cleaned the connections at the back of the...
