    [General] [VT/VX/VY/VZ/VE] Everything to know about OBD2 (ELM327) Diagnostic Cables

    Yeah center screen is a 24" touch screen, left one was a 19.5" commercial android tablet with a non-upgradeable 4.2 android version so I gutted it and installed a display adapter and touch screen interface. Gauges are 10" touch android tablet, and then double DIN touch head unit. Sorry just...

    [General] [VT/VX/VY/VZ/VE] Everything to know about OBD2 (ELM327) Diagnostic Cables

    As promised... pics :P Still have a bit to go, but should be able to test the DashCommand and HUD together over the weekend and see how it goes. I have a OBD2 splitter cable and switches on each end so I can turn one off if it's inteferring with the other. I need to splice another connector in...

    [General] [VT/VX/VY/VZ/VE] Everything to know about OBD2 (ELM327) Diagnostic Cables

    So every site selling devices says you can't run multiple ones, but then a breakdown of the VPW protocol that Antus sent me shows that the first 3 bytes of the data include priority, source and destination (http://www.fastfieros.com/tech/vpw_communication_protocol.htm) It seems using 2 OEM OBD2...

    [General] [VT/VX/VY/VZ/VE] Everything to know about OBD2 (ELM327) Diagnostic Cables

    I've just posted it there now, but figured Tazzi and the guys on here would have come across something like this before so would take a shot.

    [General] [VT/VX/VY/VZ/VE] Everything to know about OBD2 (ELM327) Diagnostic Cables

    Well I made it through the 15 pages but didn't find the info I was looking for, so I'll ask the question :) I'm wanting to run DashCommand on an Android Tablet in place of my commodore gauges which have crapped out, and I'm building a custom dash anyway. This bit is easy and I'm got it working...

    VE V6 Air Con not working after loud metal bang

    ^Yeah confirmed the front face ripped off, the metal center that was there is the remnants of the breakaway aluminium piece of the front face. Ordered a new one and the tool to remove it. Hopefully the compressor just temporarily locked and that did it. I was at high rpm when it popped so maybe...

    VE V6 Air Con not working after loud metal bang

    Ok, pretty sure I've got it now. So the pulley is connected to the compressor by means of a breakaway piece of aluminium designed to break if the compressor locks up for any reason. If the nut in the center is not spinning when the a/c is on, the aluminium has broken and the pulley just free...

    VE V6 Air Con not working after loud metal bang

    Yeah drive belt is on and everything else is working fine. All signs so far seem to point to the compressor not engaging, but I can't really find out why. After some more reading the "clutchless" compressor still has a clutch that looks like its made up of rubber dog bones.

    VE V6 Air Con not working after loud metal bang

    I just found this for anyone with the same or similar issues. Complete fault-finding guide. I'll give it a go tomorrow, but I'm still confused as hell, this specifically says its a clutchless system but there's still plent of parts places including repco selling clutch kits for them...

    VE V6 Air Con not working after loud metal bang

    Yes, but as I said it's holding pressure. Held it for 2 weeks before and still holding 100psi , so they won't be the issue at the moment. If you can send a pic of the front of the compressor I can gauge if I'm short a few pieces though ahaha

    VE V6 Air Con not working after loud metal bang

    Hey Guys Wondering if anyone can help me out with my VE Calais air con issue. I had low pressure and regassed with HyChill after vacuuming out all the R134 and it was running great for about 2 weeks. Then I was driving, heard a bang and metal clanging noise, a bit of a burnt smell and then the...

    Disableing the ABS Dash lights

    Well I've just started to get into the Arduino stuff and just made a simple module to control a VF auxiliary vacuum pump to give me some better brake assistance and I think this would be the solution for the problem. If I can get a hold of some info about the CANBUS data, specifically what the...

    Guide for LS1 Accessory install and vacuum lines?

    Hi All, Does anyone have a guide or youtube video link to explain step by step how to bolt all the engine accessories and vacuum lines etc back up on the motor? I rebuilt one for my project car and I'm running short on time so was hoping to not to have to sit and figure out each bracket bolt...

    Disableing the ABS Dash lights

    I know there's a solution for it because I did have mine working for a while until I updated my harness. I'm about to pull it all out again for a VX LS1 harness to mate into the VY body harness connector so I'll do some testing and see if I come up with anything. Here's all the BCM wiring...

    BCM Connector Wiring Chart for VXII-LS1 Needed

    Hey All, Just thought I'd summon some good Karma and actually post the solution to this one. Hopefully this file attaches but if not message me and I can send it to anyone who needs it. I sat there for a few weeks and mapped all the wires for the BCM with a multimeter to find what they were...

    Disableing the ABS Dash lights

    A year later again, I don't suppose anyone found the solution to this? I'm in a similar boat, transplanted most of the wiring and dash into a TransAM and have the ABS/Traction control errors coming up on startup, as well as randomly driving (usually bump or turn activated). My problem is...

    Ls1 engine removal

    I know this is an old thread, but I just pulled my first ls1/T56 combo from a VY SV8 so thought I'd comment as well. I pulled it out from the top complete and it seemed pretty straight forward. Took half a day, most of the time was spent chasing wiring harness plugs and disconnecting those...

    How difficult is it to put a 2007 VE V6 into a 2006 L98 body?

    Hi All, I'm looking to buy a L98 and trans for a project and found a good deal on a VE Calais, but the body is in really good condition and I have a spare VE ute sitting around with the V6 and auto trans. Is it as easy as plug n play for the motor swap or is there any complications I should be...

    V8 to V6 Conversion Question (Yes you read it correctly)

    Thanks guys. The Calais was a bust. Guy had pictures on Gumtree (before he crashed it) and forgot to mention the fucked front end, spray can paint job and trashed wheels, transmission and interior in the ad and on the phone before I drove 2 hours to get it. Looking at a VZ now but I suppose...

    V8 to V6 Conversion Question (Yes you read it correctly)

    Hi All, I was wanting to buy a wrecked LS1 commodore or ute and accidently ended up buying a VE 07 V6 ute at an auction late at night by mistake. It only cost me $1250 and repairable writeoff is just a bent rear bar that my mate can fix up. I've found a '03 LS1 Calais in good shape for $3000...

    Disableing the ABS Dash lights

    wow, reggie is a right ****. Even posts to say he solved it but doesn't put the solution in. Got the same issue on a swap to a car that has no abs or abs module plugged in. Funnily it wasn't doing it before i swapped out my harness for another harness for a different model, but using same BCM...

    [General] [VY/VZ] Everything to know about Changing Clusters!

    Hey Tazz, Was about to purchase the Body Diag and Cable bundle and saw these posts. I'm in the same situation as Trozzarae...well sort of. I have an '85 TransAM that I put a VYII dash in along with the BCM.PCM,PIM, and other bits and bobs, and we did a bit of a mod on the fuel sender by cutting...

    VY Wiper Operation Questions - BCM controlled?

    Hi Guys, Putting the finishing touches to a project with a TransAM using a VY BCM, LS1 PCM and body harness and the wipers are giving me the shits. As far as i know, the cars circuits run on 12v for everything, and the BCM is supposed to run at 5v, but can trigger 12v relays and power 12v items...

    VY Commodore Plug Identification - Body and Ecotec

    Thanks to exec24's plug diagrams, I eventually found the 2004 LS1 GTO engine connector harness, and at a glance the colours seem to match up with the exception of 2 additional plugs. In case anyone has pulled all their hair out trying to figure them out, here's the chart: 1 White 1...

    VY Commodore Plug Identification - Body and Ecotec

    Hi Guys, I'm at the arse-end of a big wiring project in my TransAM using a VY dash, BCM and dash/body harness and need a bit of help identifying a few of the last connectors and pins. The big one I'd like to cover is the body harness to engine harness connector, a big white 24 pin plug with 4...

    VY PCM/BCM/PIM Linking

    Hi Guys, I've got a 0411 LS1 PCM, a BCM from a V6, and PIM from another LS1 that I'm using for a project car. I'm also using the Calais V8 Level3 VY dash cluster. Before everyone jumps in to say its not possible to link these, it is. It has been done, I just need to know either HOW, or WHO...

    VX LS1 Wiring Harness - Which side is driver injectors/coils?

    Thanks guys Wiring was right, engine harness was right, but the coil packs were all re-wired weird. I repinned at the harness for the SBC firing order but the coil packs had been changed. Does anyone change the firing order on an LS1 with a custom grind cam? They were 2nd hand coil packs from a...

    VX LS1 Wiring Harness - Which side is driver injectors/coils?

    Sorry, I might not have explained it properly, this is a VX LS1 harness on an SBC motor with a conversion to coils and OBD2. What I mean by where the TPS & AC etc are located is which branch of the harness they are on. As it was not going on an LS1 motor where the plugs would only reach one...

    VX LS1 Wiring Harness - Which side is driver injectors/coils?

    Hi Guys, On the VXII LS1 engine harness, which side has the MAF, TPS and IAC plugs on it, drivers side or passenger side? I'm trying to work out if my engine wont start and is backfiring like crazy on cranking is because i have the firing order all out of whack. One side of the harness...
