All painted but now for sale, awesome to drive.

Will get rid of the kit at some stage, got to try find a power steering pump first. Hopefully get sorted once back from Holiday. Managed to get some SS side skirts, will work on bumpers next. Goes ok, better then the 5.0litres I've driven but no where near as good as my VX Clubsport, sounds a...

This is a new toy I just picked it up yesterday, it is a VN Commodore that has been fitted with a 5.7 LT1 SBC, and a T56 6 speed gearbox out of a Comaro, going by the cert plate it was done way back in 1997. It also has been fitted with a LSD V8 Holden diff. It has been parked up for the last...

they are to go on to a VK.

So will the rotors work that i have? Or will i have to get new ones?

Anybody know if you can use the finned VN V8 and VP S1 caliper on the S2 VP 23mm thick rotors? If not why not?

I know this is an old thread but hoping somebody can help me with some advice. Im in the process off up grading the brakes on a VK commodore, has replaced the booster with a VN V8 one as the old one was leaking (air or vacum), have replace the rear m/c and shoeswith new ones (has a 9inch with...

Some pictures from mid winter burnouts on 19 August in Levin, got second in V8 class (only 4 cars in V8 class, LOL). Yeah rims will be staying, always wanted these rims in chrome 18s, so think i will be keeping them for a while regardless of car. Each to their own, thanks for the comments...

Engine pictures of 308 in my VH

Thought i would put a few pictures up on my new weekend toy 1984 SL VH V8 BT1. Needs a tidy inside, seats and carpet not to flash but will tidy over time. Factory 308, Trimatic, LSD with 3.08 gears.

1987 Holden Commodore Berlina 5.0L (4922cc) Sold my HQ and brought the VL as i got sick of having a car and not driving it. Brought the VL in the dark so when i saw it in the light it was not what i was expecting! Prob paid alot to much for it to be honest. Abit about the car - It is a...

Car is looking good, awesome that you dont have to sell it, after all the work you have put in to it.

I had 20s on my old VK and they fitted fine with out any mods on super lows all round, 20x8.5 with 35mm offset with 235/30/20 tyres, ride was a bit hard to say the least, but i liked it and so did 98% of people who saw it. I also had 19s on the same car 19x8 and i think the offset where 48mm...

Id go for this on - : VH SLE shadow tone red over silver. L31(5.0)-M40(Trimatic)-G70(2.60:1)

Good Work, it is looking nice.

Awesome project, good progress. Be wicked to see this back on the road with the injected 5.0 in it. What are your other plans with it? (ie- paint, wheels)

What is it going into? Would look good in my HQ.

Hey on my old VR Senator i had pacemaker headers with the y pipe (got from sedgins) and i brought a Rage 3inch exhaust from auto bend in Christchurch over the net, i then extended the exhaust to replace the cat and had the front muffler replaced with a coby i think all up cost about $1700 for...

Nice, where did you pick it up from? tidy for a VN. Now you got a V8 to take on the NZV8 Reclaim the City Runs. I wont be there this month, but hopefully have my HQ and the Father in laws VK all back together and going again by the November one.

Over here on Trade Me (kind of NZ ebay) there is a guy with a complete set up for SBC in to early commodore for buy now $600 you could look in to that i mean with ccurrency rates prob only be $400 AUD plus freight. Myself no dont have any spare bits, my father inlaw has my old VK which had...

I miss my VK that had a 350 Chev in it, once you get past all the little problems with getting the chev into the car its all down hill, hardest problem is keeping the things cool i found. needs that i can think of Remote filter and starter mount engine mounts and cross member spacers, can run...

Headers for VK Hi, Did you sell the headers for a VK Commodore? Saw you mention them in a thread. If you still got them how much would you sell them for? And freight to porirua? im looking on to V8ing a Commodore so trying to get a price for every thing. Cheers Wiremu

Leaving home this morning i notice someone had hit my car (VR Senator) big scratch in back bumper and dented rear quater!!!!:cry::cry: Piss me off. Then later head up to the old ladys for lunch, then on the way home get a phone call a neighbour has backed in to the...

Man you just got to love the VH SL/E 5.0 Litres!!! Will get me another one one day, all the ones i have looked at recently have had the VK bumpers and lights fitted YUK!!! on a VH. Nice car i like it.

Jeez your build seems to be progressing fast! before you know it your going to have have a HSV eater on your hands:thumbsup:. Have also being to talking to a guy with a certain VN so may have a new toy soon to play with:D, fingers crossed

Had 20s on my vk 20x8.5 35mm offset and 235/30/20 tyres didnt rubb also had them on my old vk and never rubbed on that either. Have put them back on my VR Senator for now.

Awesome car almost looks like a different car from when you picked it up!! VH and Vr i reckon are the best Commodores ever. Good luck with everything on it. Did this have the factory twin exhaust or single?

Nice car looks to be progressing well, by he looks of it your in New Zealand as well?

Awesome car, had one exactly the same would have to be one of the best cars ive ever owned, i done the white indicators and 17s and freshend up the 253 guess in the end it went as good as a standard 308 LOL. The VH SL/E would be my faverite non HSV model Commodore ever. Nice car good luck...

Thanks for the advice.

Think im going to have to replace the rear speakers in my car (VR). Would any body know what size the rear speakers are in them? with out me havin to strip half the car out just to check. Thanks

More to come soon trans issues and dissy clearence issues. Nice looking project, With my old VC that had a chev in it had to bash the fire wall to fit an hei type dizzy (ie- big bar and a slege hammer :D) in my VK when i put the 350 in to it used a twin point mallory and it fits with out...

Dam the VK is looking nice, gd work. Always good seeing the old school Commies getting put back on the road. not alot of tidy ones left here in NZ thats for sure.

Very nice, nice stance i think the red suits the wheels.

Nice love the flares! Good Stuff.

I agree would look better lowered, Thats the plan if i can stop spending money on the VK! LOL. Also agree towbars are ugly!

Not a fan of the standard wheels, have been keeping a look out for some VS Senator or VS Clubby tri spokes. The 19s on it dont rreally like but they turned up at the right price when i took the 20s off. Yeah im in two minds about the bonnet if it wasnt a HSV it would be on by now ive had the...

Nah havnt got any interior pictures, when i take some i will post them up. Has the devonish? i think there called interior, would of loved leather though.
