I manage Steal Stopper alarms here in NSW, we have tried doing an upgrade alarm in these cars with a cyclops dynamco upgrade alarm. At the moment, there is only an antitheft upgrade solution for these. We are mapping the canbus system so we can do a simple three wire installation on them like...

new plates arrived well after a short decision period and a 2 week wait, the new plates have arrived. Could not decide on either my old CANABL, SIG177 or SIG98R, but ended up going with

just reading through this question, my vt senator manual is the same thing, you can rev it dump it and just get a little chirp from the tyres. this wire that can be cut/disconnected, i guess you could put in a switch of your own so as to be able to activate in times of need like wet weather or...

Where bouts do the amps get mounted? I have stripped my entire car apart from the shelf and cant find another amp, they must use high level inputs from the head unit. The maestro unit still runs the same harness and has the stacker unput. All the speakers are 2ohm in the doors and i think the...

the fronts runfrom the head unit itself i think, the subs have a seperate amp that runs off the rear speaker output. mrVT, i dont think the wiring is there but you only need to bridge it off the door speaker outputs. if you get the stock tweaters, they have a cap mounted to them that cuts out...

the factory splits have a cap inline to stop low freq getting to them, after you take out the three screws of the side dash vent panel, there is one in the side of the window piece and then the panel unclips by pulling it backwards in line with the windscreen. get the door wires going into the...

My senator has a 5 speed behind it. The rims were for free and got a set of VT GTS rims awaiting track tyres. Would love to lower it a whole heap but already got dramas getting up driveway at home and work.

i dont think anything needs to be activated. The plug has got ignition so the sensors only work while ign on, park break wire so they stop once park handle pulled up and then the other wires have something to do with the sensors themselves. the cars we do this mod with a relay have the follow me...

there is usually a 6pin plug just above the battery in the boot that has an ignition wire in it, this is for the factory reverse sensors installation. We use this to power up our aftermarket reverse sensors. Just check with a test light and im sure you should find it there.

one major drama you will have when making the rear doors suicide, the door weighs so much and will hinge in one point on the rear of the door. you will have to cut the entire dogleg section out where the latch is, build up a box section to house a new hinge design, strangthen up tail of the door...

roller motor I just got my vt senator and the previous owner claims that it is a stroker motor, just after few answers on hopefully easy questions. When it is said to be a roller motor, is it visible from looking in the oil filler? is the rockers the roller part onto the valves or is it down...

weekends work Well istarted saturday at 5am stripping some parts of the car prepairing to have it chopped and buffed, tinted and to make a start on the stereo. After a weekend of work i am absolutely blown away at the transformation of a good buff to remove the not so deep scratches and bring...

i do not see any dramas with the way of mounting the amp behind the panel, only drama will be tuning it as some people play around with settings a lot. The sub mounted to the panel then firing foward from that corner will have a good sound but may get better loading if directed to the boot lid.

i get mine done at the paint shop. you start off with normal clear coat and add some black tinter. atleast when it is finished it dries clear and shiny like glass. the more coats the darker it gets. You must be able to see the difference in colour of bulbs like red and orange for brake and...

spacer so u have cut out the doors so the speaker will fit in there, double check the magnet clears the window when down and it also clears the door plunger that stops the door flying open and closed. 6x9s up front will sound good, but a set of 6 inch would also do the job when powered...

the sub will only work well if it has the front surface completely sealed from the rear area. other wise the sub just flaps around not making any doof doof. I recomend getting theamp put on a plate mounted usually on the drivers rear quarter panel section in the boot. get a pre fab box for a 15"...

they are usually referred to as speaker mounting plates from the vr vs model,s they can be bought from holden direct or any wrecker. Im guessing you have had your vn doors upgraded to this design, or do you have the 4" speakers in the dash still. they only a $5 dollar wrecker parts anyhow.

thats a vk with vs front end on it, the coupe one being built has stretched doors too. really looked in proportion. i think a crewman would be the best bet. i been part of a subaru covertable 2door project single seater and a subaru 2 door ut conversions. People say they were stupid ideas but...

2 door wagon the wagon was made into a panelvan with suicide front doors, was full tube chassis with plate floor. i helped with the stereo all those years ago when i worked at Hypersound blacktown. it started off at summernats as a demo car when in bare metal, then once released, did not win...

been told that they do not make vs series ones anymore but the vt are around the same. just meant to be slightly shorter in length.

hey champ, how did you manage to get the ride so low. Did you have to disconnect the level ride system? you got any old suspension left you may want to get rid of? cheers CANABL

I got the vt senator last week and the car is running standard height. I would love to get this to a super low height hopefully running either 20s or 19s. Does anyone have any ideas? do i need to get specialised shocks or springs or disconnect the system. I only plan to tow a boat on some...

i have got the senator now and the shifter feels like stirring a tub of custard! what is the best way to get some sort of pattern back into the shift pattern. even when in gear, the stick is sloppy. cheers

cleaning up starts after a small operation on thursday, had some energy up today to start on cleaning up the senator. started with giving it a good kero wash to strip off all the old polish and crap on the car. only now can you see all the small scratches and chips it has copped over its life...

little rough Iain, The car is just covered in wash marks from the automated lazy wash machines, a few dints here and there and the drivers side skirts is cracked at the front from where the tyre guy put it up on the hoist. The drivers seat has damage to the bolster on the top section from...

wheels The wheels did not come with the car as his wife bought them for his b'day. It has 18" chrome momo wheels on it but they are missing the centre caps. Have to decide on rims and start saving for them now.

Hi people, Ended up doing the deal and traded the vr maloo mock up ute for this vt senator signature. was told by old owner that is was a 220 with the stroker motor, waiting on all the paperwork in regards to the motor specs. anyways happy with the car so far. Just needs to get some good wheels...

Hi guys, I am looking to upgrade from my ute and seen a guy selling a vt signature. He is claiming it to be a 220 with the badges and also to be a tenth anniversary manual, only one of the ten made. I did a check on hsv and it only comes up as a Model: VT-SIG195-S Colour: BOTANICA [B148 ]...

need gas i did injection gas so as to not loose so much power, i do 1000k a week sometimes more if i do my qld trip. maybe look for another manifold to redo the gas setup or maybe custom make one. was thinking of a injected throttle body setup ontop of the older manifold.

Well after so many dramas with the motor after purchasing, it has now blown its second inlet manifold gasket, this time once again due to the gas mechanic failure to tighten up the inlet bolts enough. Did a comp test wet and dry and it shows that a slug on either side second from the back has...

i had the same thing with mine, changed regulator and checked alternator, turned out to be the connector at the battery for the fusable link had become coroded and was hardly connecting. This cable comes from the rear of the alternator to moniter the charge level, seeing as though it had no...

wooden ring if the sub has been mounted magent into the box/ wooden ring out, this will not affect the performance. The wooden ring is a gasket for if its mounted face into the box. check to see if the rubber roll surround of the sub has come addrift (what timber ring mounts onto) too as this...

gilmer drive The kit i got off ebay, the original pulley on my motor was cast iron, i parted (cut) off the front two pulley slots and the gilmer one slid into the inside of the stock one and bolted to the crank using arp 5/16 x 1 1/4 bolts. you could space out the power steering bracket and...

Hi people, I bought my ute not long ago and have slowly started building it up. I use it for work every day and have put 20 000ks on it in the past 3 months already. Its a vr s series 2 5l v8 manual. it had 200k on it when i picked it up from inner NSW (forbes), has had lsd centre fitted...

If you can let me know where you are at, want the covers for engine and bonnet protector. cheers Adam 0404 424 624 or [email protected]

cleaning plugs What is the best way to clean a plug of the scale and such? i would just throw a new set in myself as the price of them is nothing, just these were only 500km's and a month old......

great information Thanx pub24/7, the adbert was great help, funny thing was whilst driving last week to Dubbo i had the cabin fill with smoke, after checking the bay i noticed an oil leak from the rocker cover on that bank, it may have been sucked into inlet also on the inside of the rocker. I...

Hi again guys, Finally got my ute running again after a long list of problems from purchasing it. I had sequential gas injection installed and shortly after started experiencing overheating then a blown inlet manifold gasket. The car was idling high due to the leak on the passenger bank...

coil pack mine would turn over and fire but when heated up over few seconds would die off. if its slowing down while cranking it will be the battery draining from trying to start. get some jumper leads or booster pack to help keep plenty of juice up to the starter

Hey guys, When my car clapped out over the weekend i found after changing the coil pack over, it worked perfectly. My issue is that the unit i replaced it with was off my 308 motor, the bosch unit MEC 718 was on the 5l efi and the one i replaced it with is a HEC 716. Does anyone know what if...
