    VR 5.0 into VT - Legal?

    Thanks for all of that guys, pre much echoed the thoughts in my head. Only reason I ask this, is I have a VR SS and a VR Exec, both 304 T5, and I can't really afford the coin nor the space (Got 3 cars of my own to be rid of - I'm allowed to have one haha) to get an LS1, and cannot be farkt...

    VR 5.0 into VT - Legal?

    I have a VT2 Berlina Wagon Because it's an S2 - the factory V8 was LS1. Because it's a VT the 5.0's used in S1 were roller engines with airflow meter and sequential injection. I also have two VR 304s here that are going to waste, so wanna know if I can do it. I mean, I know I can do it, but...

    Alloytec Oil Filler Neck Replacement?

    Update for answers in case anyone has this issue. New rocker cover was needed. Buy a set, coz there's a chance the other side has a blocked PCV, and that's part of the cover. Cleaning PCV lines pre reinstall is always a good idea too...

    VZ Alloytec fuel gauge issue

    Yeah it's not that big of an issue, just annoys the missus who owns the car and is a Learner. When it's over half a tank it's always correct, but being out in the sticks with over-priced watered-down fuel on offer it's a bit hard to keep it full but as long as it's still turning oil then I guess...

    VZ Alloytec fuel gauge issue

    I got this problem too. Anywhere below 1/3 of a tank and it tells me lies all day. Just guess and go lol. Been told it's a problem with my BCM by a friend, but a Holden Tech tells me to replace entire sender unit. Anyone else know more?

    vz engine swap (no start) help please

    You end up figuring it out mate? Just swapped the engine in the missus VZ Wagon, 10HBA for 10HBA, after cleaning out the top end and reassembling and reinstalling with the old box from the car, it won't click. Won't even send fuel. When I go to red's it sounds like the TB is clicking weirdly...

    Alloytec Oil Filler Neck Replacement?

    Hi guys Just picked up an 05 VZ Exec Wagon for the missus at a bargain price and had the mechanic go over it for roady and it was all good except for a few oil leaks. He showed me the oil filler, when you remove the cap the actual plastic part of the filler wants to come too, and it's...

    Code 31 - Theft Deterrent Signal missing

    I have replaced the batteries in my standard Holden key head and the Fob which controls my aftermarket alarm... Still no fix... Might I add that sometimes it works perfectly fine, but most times it's extremely frustrating, normally when I'm in a hurry it will stuff me around :hmmm:

    My 304 VR does this too... Has an aftermarket alarm kit fitted and has done since I got it more than a year ago... Been getting Err 31 since the day I bought it and quite often she wont unlock, I attributed it to the hackjob they must have done with the aftermarket alarm and immobiliser, but if...

    VR V8 T5 NON-IRS TAILSHAFT - Where to get one?

    Cheers Fellas, I haven't had an internet connection available for some time, so I couldn't get on here. I ended up moving from North-East Vic down to Dandenong, which seems to be performance car central. My brother and I figured out the problem when we jacked up the car and dropped the old V6...

    Hey guys, I been having problems with my driveshaft for some time. I blew the old one out from the rear end in an angry clutch-dumping sorta moment, and had to replace it with a T5 shaft from a V6 wreck we had laying around. It hasn't held up and now the uni's, centre bearing, and the CV joint...

    Conclusion to police checking my car after I recieved a letter of demand.

    Well done man, excellent attitude to have over such a small-minded thing. I can't imagine excercising the same patience if I were in your position... Jealousy's a curse and some people can't get there themselves so they try to hold everyone else back with their immature crap. Glad to see the...

    Well that all depends on the original colour you're doing it with... I've done it a few times, and its not easy, but its mainly trial and error... I mainly use layers, one desaturated, then one or two (sometimes more) multiply, screen, or overlay, using different opacity settings... Some...

    [NSW] VS Senator rear spoiler, VS SS rear spoiler and series 2 VS Calais front bar insert

    Any chance of uploading pics? I'm fairly interested to see these items, especially the condition of the spoilers... Also the Front Bar Insert, is it the one that goes into the lower intake dam (and if so will I need to move my plate?), or are you referring to the nostrils (between the lights)?

    BINGO! Thanks! I knew there was a way, I used to do it a few years before the CS days, but I think I can make it work right with this. The old way I did it must be different, but this method works, and probably better, so thanks for your help! :D

    BTW I love that coolant resy tank. It's mad. Never seen a black one before, is it an a/market item? Or have you had it custom painted? Either way, if you wake up one day and theres a tarnished yellow-clear one there instead, it definitely wasnt me coz I dunno where ya live... :whistling:
