I believe another option is an electric power assisted steering rack from a Holden Astra (Vauxhall and I guess Opel Astra) that way you would be able to get a lhd unit.

Here's a bit more confusion. I have an L67 out of a VT in my VC, it has only 8 digits and no letter prefix and is not the engine fitted to the VT when it left the factory. I am guessing a crate motor maybe?

I wouldn't fit a VP diff as the axle housing is wider than a VK axle housing and you will have problems with wheel offset. Don't go later than a VL diff, they are wider but not much over the VK, only a few mm. As for the cable, I don't know. I swapped mine over and got the cable with the diff.

A black one would be close I think. I bought mine from Ford as the early XR6 ran the same diff ratio with the T5 box. May not be available now due to age, maybe ebay.

I tried mine with a Pedders heavy duty rear bar before I tracked it and it felt good on the road but on the track it was hopeless, even the standard bar makes it a pig. I have a tight LSD from a VL turbo. I wouldn't want to run without a front bar.

My VC with L67 has 400 lbs springs which is 7.1kg/mm front springs with 4 degrees negative and the heaviest adjustable Whiteline front bar set to maximum and the rear has no sway bar, pinion angled down 4 degrees and boxed lower trailing arms. Any swaybar on the rear of mine makes it oversteer...

I have a VC Commodore with L67 and I used a VS K frame and VL rack. As my steering column had play at the coffee cup I replaced the column with one from a VL as well. That way I got the coupler as well. It's a straight bolt in, no mods.

I have K MAC on my VC, won't get a lot of negative camber, maybe 1 degree or so.

No it won't foul as I had a VN V6 in my VC with the VS booster. Just cut the adjusting screw off flush with the end of the rod, put some Loctite on the thread so it can't unscrew.

I got my VC belts from Hemco.

I ran a highly modified VN V6 in my VC for a few years before upgrading to an L67. Everything was modified, brakes were VT, suspension upgraded etc etc. I ran power steering without issue except trying to stop the fluid leaking out of the reservoir, I am guessing VP would be same as VN. I had a...

PM me with an email address and I can send them.

I bought mine on Ebay, fronts were new and the rears were second hand and I had them rebuilt by Fulcrum suspension after one developed a slight leak. When being rebuilt I had them made slightly stiffer, it's only a matter of turning a couple of internal washers around. Tyres are 225/45x15 with...

Have them in a VC and yes they are short stroke. If I remember correctly they are super low springs. Bilsteins I think are about the same price but are not adjustable and I think are firmer than the soft setting on the Konis. My VC is a track car running 400 pound springs up front with heaviest...

I am running Koni yellows front and rear, and you are right they are expensive and also rebuildable when they wear out.

Considered a supercharged V6?

May need the original Commodore wheel nuts to not rattle.

I don't know about the VN booster but the VS will bolt straight up using the same mounting holes and the rod will be the correct length, at least it is in a Commodore. I have done the brakes on my VC using VS booster with the adjusting screw mod, VZ calipers and master cylinder, same as VY and...

If your VN booster is fitted okay you can just bolt a VS booster straight in. Just remove the adjusting screw and cut the head off and screw the rest back in flush with some Loctite. Use the VY master cylinder.

Good one.

I have the VT brake setup on my VC and found I had rear brake locking so I had to fit a bias valve to prevent this happening. I think fitting more powerful rear brakes could cause more rear locking.

Good luck with that, the post was 9 years ago.

225 would be good. I have 225 semi slicks on 8" rim, that was the optimum recommended rim size.

VL rack will bolt straight into the VN K frame, I used a VS frame in my VC.

I have them in my L67 powered VC, they stop the manual box from hitting the transmission tunnel. You will get more noise and vibration but would it really matter in a HiLux? I don't think they are that bad but My car is gutted and makes a racket anyway.

Use a VL rack?

I just fitted a complete VL steering column, simple job. The top bearing in my VC column was shot so solved two problems at once.

If you have to remove the sump I would trim about 6mm off the oil pump pickup cover. Less likelihood of oil starvation if the timing chain tensioner lets go.

Transmax is full synthetic.

And automatic transmission fluid in the gearbox, Castrol Transmax Z. That advice from Mal Woods.

I have a Mal Woods short shifter, shorter throw and huge improvement in 2 - 3 shift.

Won't be pressurised if it has cracks in it.

Standard L67 coil packs are supposedly superior to the MSD items. I am running 1mm plug gap but boost has been increased with a pulley change.

The large round plugs are by far the best, that's why they are used on all semi trailers. No flat plugs found on semi trailers.

I have VT brakes on my VC which although registered is used as a track car only. I started off with VT brakes front VL discs rear with stainless steel flexible lines and 1" MC. Brakes were good, booster died so I fitted a double diaphragm booster, brakes improved a bit. Pedal was never high but...

All supercharged are auto unless you do a manual conversion. Cheap power can be had simply by changing the supercharger pulley and a few adjustments to the memcal. Reckon it would out perform the 5 litre. I have an L67 out of a VT in my VC which I converted to a manual.

I used the AU Falcon reservoir, no need to modify anything. Just swap the reservoirs, no drilling required.

No, alternator on supercharged engine is different.
