    [NSW] 2004 VZ HBD Calais - Heavily, but tastefully modified

    Hi Guys, My old VZ Calais is up for grabs. I bought it back in 2008/2009 and it was my daily driver for several years. I then sold it to my brother who used it as his daily driver for several years as well. Reason for sale = He just got a new mustang GT and owed me money, so I've taken the...

    priority keys - vz calais

    From memory the key changes the side mirror positions, drivers seat position, radio stations, and air-con settings. I can confirm that pressing the unlock button on the remote changes the above to the setting for that key. (ie, press on remote 1, seat moves to that spot, press on remote 2, seat...

    Differences between Statesman Series 1-3

    To clarify, late 99 series 3 did, so not all series 3 have them.

    [NSW] [SYD] FS - 2004 VZ Calais LS1 HBD

    Any interest at all? I know having no pics up doesn't help, and am aiming to get some new pics taken this weekend and will post them up ASAP.

    [NSW] [SYD] FS - 2004 VZ Calais LS1 HBD

    Up for sale is the first of my two cars. Reason for sale is that I no longer use it, and could do with the cash to pay debts instead. This car has had most aspects of it modified except for the engine/gearbox/exhaust. It also has a fairly higher end "SQ" based stereo installed in it, but...

    [SA] VZ calais door trim,VX garnish,VX headlight protector

    Do the rear VZ Calais trims have any marks/scratches on them at all?? I'm trying to find a rear passenger's side that is in perfect condition, as mine was damaged when I bought the car (but the other 3 are perfect). Would you consider splitting the fronts and rears? I'm assuming not, but...

    Electric seats

    Electric seats were standard on Caprices, and optional on some of the later model statesmans. "Prices for the VS Series II Statesman range start at $49,640 for the ECOTEC V6, with the Supercharged V6 costing $52,040 and the V8, $53,160. Statesman options include automatic load levelling...

    VQ VR VS Caprice seat memory module

    All good, was just curious. I've got an early series 2 seat and it's wiring looks like your pics (ie, messy) and a later series 2 seat which has most of that wiring consolidated into 1 loom and is alot neater. Wasn't sure when the change over period from one to the other was.

    VQ VR VS Caprice seat memory module

    I'm guessing those seats are from a Series 1 or an early Series 2 VS?

    body control module

    I can confirm that this is correct. I got car jacked a few years back and had my only key stolen. Simply replacing my existing HI series (Caprice) BCM with another HI series BCM, and using the keyfob from that BCM got my VS wagon going again. Shows you how easy they are to steal :eek:

    Installing a higher level BCM

    It's do-able, but probably not worth the time/cost. It depends on how much you value your car :) Whilst not 100% the same, My VS wagon has had a BCM/Wiring swap from a low level (Exec) to a high level (Caprice). Climate control and all other Caprice/luxury features (eg, power windows, dual...

    L76 into VS conversion help

    You obviously have no idea? Only 1 place sells "off the shelf" extractors for VN-VS LSX conversions and they cost $1800... and that is CAE. They are made out of average materials and still require modding of the firewall to fit. Custom stainless extractors made to fit your own car are...

    Something missing on my Caprice,what is it

    Get some pics up, i'll see if i can tell you what's missing. Call it a hunch, but going by your location (Newcastle) and the description of the seats, did you get them from a place near Tumbi Umbi?

    Something missing on my Caprice,what is it

    Nah those buttons are used to adjust the seat. From memory the single button next to the toggle switch is for the recline, the toggle switch is for back/forward and up/down, and the other 2 tilt the base. Both the drivers and passengers seat have those switches. What parts do you need...

    Something missing on my Caprice,what is it

    No... You can confirm this by searching for series 3 statos on a car sales website. The seats will be non electric, and defiantly no memory

    Something missing on my Caprice,what is it

    Incorrect... A VR/VS stato never had factory fitted memory seats (Someone may have fitted themslves) Caprice's were the only ones with this option

    What year model are your seats? (If unsure, post a pic of the bottom of the drivers seat)

    Something missing on my Caprice,what is it

    Thats where the drivers seat memory buttons go. The main seat controls are on the seat itself, the memory buttons (3 presets) go in that spot on the door trim Have a look at this thread for pics of the button...

    vs statesman/caprice interior into my vp

    VR/VS Stato/Caprice roof linings are also thinner then the sedan/wagon versions. They have a plastic trim that runs around the edges that holds the lining up, so even if you put one in your car there will be a few CM gap on each side due to it being shorter. Better solution is to re-trim...

    caprice electric seat loom

    The memory function just requires the extra "module" and wiring under the drivers seat, as well as the additional wiring in the loom that goes to the door switch, and the door switch itself. I have spares of all the above so if you get desperate for pics i can possibly get some. (No, i wont...

    Does the Caprice seats have memory

    The drivers seat has as extra module and wiring for the memory side of things The wiring loom is integrated in to the main body harness, so you would need to strip it out and then work something out for where it normally plugs in to. Why would your berlina have factory wiring for a...

    calais seats into an exec?

    Calais seats were not electric, so they will bolt in to the factory holes. Only Caprices were electric. Fitting Caprice seats involves drilling holes in the floorpan as they used different mounting points.

    What is the best Brand on the market 4 audio

    What is the best Brand on the market 4 audio

    Hahahahahah your post obviously shows you have NO ****ing idea! :thumbsup: Pull your head outta your ass and go and listen to some high end gear, rather then the POS sony/pioneer gear you currently think is the best! I look forward to your post when i start winning SQ comps mid next year...

    What is the best Brand on the market 4 audio

    There is no "best" brand.... most companies make 1 component that are better then the rest, but other gear in their range is not as good. My personal opinion (which i also own) AV Gear = Alpine (Obviously their high end gear) Speakers = Boston Pro/Z6's. Subs = IDMAX's Amps = Audison...

    Alpine IVA-D310E and Headrest Monitors

    I've got an Alpine IVA-D300E, and 2 x Alpine TME-M770's. The M770's (which are 6.5") fit in my VS Senator and also my VS caprice headrests (trial fitted them), so they should fit a VT/VX. If your looking at running everything together, you would be best also investing in an Alpine VPE-S431...

    IRS in VS Wagon

    It should be able to be done, but there is alot of work (and cost) involved. I looked at doing it ages ago, but didnt end up doing it (ive got airbag suspension so my camber would have been ****ed!) I know a guy putting a VS IRS setup onto an early girl,(ie, VB-VL) so everything can be done...

    For Sale Vx Supercharger Top End

    If you want the motor to last more then 1-3 months, then you need to re-build the engine internally. The stock super 6 bottom end is ALOT stronger then a standard ecotec. Your best bet would be to buy a super 6 bottom end. Some other people have put a M90 onto a stock bottom end, and lets say...

    VR/VS..what wheels impress you?

    VX Upgrade to Climate control

    20inch rims on vs

    Make an appointment with an engineer, drive it to them, and sit back as they inspect it. They basically check the complete car over, if there is even one small problem with it it will not pass. Keep in mind you still have to pay for their time, so you really want to have the car upto scratch...
