    Converting from 6L80E to 6-speed Manual

    I only added the manual clutch pedal (and cut down auto brake pedal width). Used the clutch gasket as a template and just drilled holes in existing firewall/plate based off measurements to other bolts. Still have auto console/shifter surround, didn't know there was a difference to manual. Looks...

    Manual VE firewall measurement

    Engine side appears no issues or dicking around other than drilling 3 holes? Mind you engine, box and subframe are out of car. Admittedly I havent looked cabin side yet.

    Manual VE firewall measurement

    Unfortunately I'm over in nz so wreckers don't have many manual VE Commodores yet. Turns out my "complete" manual conversion kit which I imported wasn't so complete. I'll try Holden nz but really just want a few measurements to atleast one bolt. Looks like the bolt hole to the left of the top...

    Manual VE firewall measurement

    Would someone be able to take a few measurements off their firewall for a template to drill the clutch pedal mounts. Couple of measurements to locate the top or bottom hole compared to another known point would be great.

    VE V8 L98 auto to manual conversion....

    Hi everyone Sorry about bumping an old thread but some good info in here and rather keep it here in one spot. I see in HP tuners I can flash the ECU to manual, but what tools/software are required to flash BCM & ABS & Dash config

    How to change a ve diff?

    Diff finally back in, had to get a mechanic to change the nose flange as I didn't have a 32mm deep socket and I didn't want to mess with resetting the diff. Can confirm lsd is so much better than the old single spinner, and the 3.27 ratio is more lively than the previous 2.92. Need to tune the...

    How to change a ve diff?

    Yea, I was going to post back here once done. Basically I tried everything without removing one of the hubs but couldn't get the shafts out due to length. I probably did damage the seals but that diff is coming out for a LSD anyway, now I just need to swap the diff nose flange or get a coupler...

    Turbo Kit - Killaboost manifolds

    Pretty good price for a bolt in kit I think. I inquired about manifold, crossover, down pipe & oil lines only (as I have the remainder already) and it was going to be $3k aud. Would have been easier to save the $4k I've spent on parts already and just brought the whole kit... I'll be interested...

    How to change a ve diff?

    Yea from the replacement diff it looks like you're right, circlip holding it in. Thought I was giving it enough pressure to pop the circlip but maybe needs more of a jolt. I'll give that a crack tomorrow night.

    How to change a ve diff?

    Been scrolling through and can't find exactly what I'm after. I'm changing my open diff to a lsd, and wondering what's the best way to get the axles out of the diff. I had the two bottom arms of the hub unbolted and was prying the axle while a friend was lifting/pulling the hub. Axle seemed...

    VS Paddock car immobiliser issue

    Brought the memcal and installed it and it still won't start, when turning the key on I a cant hear a fuel pump prime and the starter won't fire. I'm assuming the BCM/immobiliser also controls fuel pump and starter motor? possibly ignition too? I can bridge the fuel pump and starter relay and...

    Awesome, thanks man. After reading there I found a memcal on trade me, should have started with that rather than the new key.
