Yeah i think it's still under warranty i haven't owned this vl a year yet, and i installed the alarm about a month or so after getting the car. When i get the spare time ill take it into them, they don't have any friggen loan cars!

Yeah i took it into the guys that installed it, they wanted to keep it over the weekend, but they are closed over the weekend. Abit weird so i got them to disable the alarm and i've got it with me. Been looking at it, im starting to think moisture is the problem. Everything was fine untill...

Wasn't the panic alarm, erm was near the passenger seat heh :w00t: Checked the groundings, when i was rewiring the siren and putting it on silent with my special key. It's got me stumped so taking it into the fella's that installed it. Get a report and quote on the problem and smile and...

damn it put this message in the wrong thread, my above post is still valid for this thread though :D

Lol my car is freaking looney man. Ok atmopshere is cold rainy/heavy rain. Sitting in my car with the car alarm going with my chick, then all of a sudden the door locks :s weird eh, i go to look at the door it's self then the car alarm starts going off, and the doors keep trying to lock it's...

Lol all good man, well k/n filter, colder induction, advanced the timing, new sparks and leads (better quality ones) new oils/filters/cleaned the dizzy. If you're in nz i can hook you up with a guy that did a mod for my car, lower torque on start off, gives you quicker acceleration. Apart...

Thanks for the advice man, apparently the rb30's and rb20's have a similiar layout. Lol also my mate has a vl and he was doing some doughies in it the other night. He's got a manual i've got an auto. Now he was talking about it seems like there is lag when he takes off from the lights...

Gutted, i own a rb20e single camer (yea im in land of the long white cloud). Its only done 77 thousand k's on the clock now (one owner from new). Will change the fuel pump see if that helps, going to do a complete fluid drain and/flush and filter change. So thinking hopefully the change of...

Hey im about to do an oil/filter, tranny/filter change in the next day or so But i've been wondering about my car latley, first thing in the morning i'll go to start it, engine completly cold and i turn the ignition it kicks over, very chuggy, likes it not running on all cylinders, sometime i...

From what i can tell from the pics just looks like abit of bent or twisted metal? As i said just going by the pics it's hard to tell. When i was in the market looking for a vl, i found a few rb20e engines that had the exact look to them, it just looked like it had been hit really hard and...

Mate the only car i've ever owned with a blower was a vk with a v8 in it. Just looked very nice lol Miss that car so much. I'm getting more into my turbo's now than anything, and that turbo near the lsd looks very nice haha imagine the sound coming from the rear

Lol, My mates doing free work experience and a mechanics shop and he does more than that. He's currently sticking an intercooler in for a skyline. Jez sucks to be that kid standing around not really doing much. i'm not a qualified mechanic but yet i still take my engine out, do all the...

Just been checking out your mint blue commy man, got a post hiding somewhere with the specs of your car etc? Ill throw up some pictures of my commy tommorrow, the fire orchid red commy haha How long did it take you to get it all done? and more importantly how much? lol

w00t w00t the vp is solid rear *Does his bogan dance*

HOLDEN LSD VP-VL for sale - TradeMe.co.nz - New Zealand thats the link to the lsd i was thinking of bidding on then remembered my mates wrecked vp in the garage and could get it off him for cheaper

Have a wrecked vp calais in the garage pretty sure it's got an lsd, heard rumours of vp lsd in vl's? Lol it also has some nice low springs, and love the look of the electric windows, any ideas if i can use any of these parts on my baby?

Uhhh a mechanic wouldn't be asking this question numb nuts why not just say you're a noob? Tall poppy syndrome? haha

Notice abit on this thread, alot of question asking about servicing your car etc. Everyone says that there are no manuals for the vl's. They are a nissan engine and the whole internet has shitloads of asian pages with skylines etc etc. The following link is to the nissan rb20e workshop...

Ah **** man that sucks what happened to the beast? Hrmm yeah man i'm gonna give that a shot. It's not to shabby, a mate has a old kingswood whois got a small asus eeepc 701 installed into his glove box, pretty cool. He can do some pretty cool things with that beast. Good for problem solving...

Umm my car is already orange, and has a big painted bonet ;) yee haw. Lol cheers man, gonna try and throw one in that old toyota

It does have some ass behind it, have done some weight reduction. Have comfortable pulled a boat with it and still had some pull behind it. Just looking to give it alittle extra grunt.

I've got an old guage around here somewhere. They are usually sold with either a metal of a plastic mount for extra support. If not a place usually does the trick with a few holes in it

Lol sparks in the dark? lol im guessing he's talking about checking the leads and plugs. Remove your spark plugs (one at a time) then plug them back into the lead, (have a very insulated pair of plyers, or hold the plyers with a cloth) then hold the spark plug (with the lead attached) just a...

Now i love the vl commodore, the amount of times i've slowly pulled up to the side walk to slam on the horn and scare a bunch of asians. It's great, they really did make a proper horn (not like my brothers ss v8 commodore) it sounds **** weak. Now i'm just wondering if it possible to take...

Lol why on earth do you want this? you've got enough gauges on your dash. I bought a kingswood where the previous owner did that, i removed it. It's pointless, all for show you can barley read the guages without having your glass up against the front winsheild. But hey if that's your cup...

How i check mine on my 87 vl berlina is by checking the resistance on each injector, then running a diagnostic on the ecu always does the trick. I'm pretty sure theres a couple of otherways that im forgetting

Ahh good old ebay, like the manual i bought for my old kingswood before i sold it. It turned up and it had all of 4 pages, the rest were ripped out :| still haven't heard back from that seller and it's been over 2 years lol. Hrmm might just purchase one from a car part store in town...

lol im guessing you guys have purchased your copies then? can't seem to find any online

Cheers man thats the software i was after, just trying to find the schematics for building the adapter for the onboard computer (to rig it to my laptop and run that software) can't seem to find a link on that site to see how to build the cable???? my mate is an electronics wiz, if i can get the...

I own a 87 2.0litre straight 6 berlina, it's not slow, (it's even an auto) haven't started weight reduction yet. Brilliant ride. I bought mine for 6k (one owner from new low k's really looked after) Threw in some king springs, advanced the timing alittle, colder intake and ive taken on most...

Hey i'm trying to find some links online for the old serial adapter for the 87 vl berlina (2.0litre) Can't seem to find anything, will keep searching though. Just looking to fead it into my laptop (also do you guys recomend any software for this?) Just starting to get into the whole...

Hey i'm in new zealand (Christchurch), pictures will are coming soon, will grab my mates digital camera over the weekend and take some pictures. Thanks for the advice guys, hey by any chance has anyone found any good service manuals for the vls? possibly the 87 year?

How about posting what the problem was and how you fixed it? just for the search. Just incase someone else out there has had the same problem as you.

I agree with both guys theres a few possibilities are the guys started above crank angle sensor thermostat also check your cooling fluid, alot of people these days just throw in water from the tap, if that's so it could be boiling and causing your car to overheat. If you check the service...

Just to update this thread if anyone was having the same problem. I tested the battery and that was the source of the problem. A new heavy duty battery later everything was fine. Or so i thought, it was a mix of a block in one of my injectors and a dude battery (found this out after the handy...

Cheers man that did help alot, is there any precautions or recomended mm advanced? I read if you have advanced it to far you will here a sort if 'pinging' noise, and retard it back straight away as this method can really destroy your engine if not done properly. Is there a rule of thumb on...

Well i own a 87 holden berlina, bought it from a car sales, one owner from new 57000 k's on the clock, i bought that for 6 thousand. Currently insured for 12 thousand. Photo's coming soon keep in touch for some pics bud. They are worth a fair bit if kept in good nick, Mine doesn't have a...
