Hey all, I have a 1989 VN Exec V6 Sedan. I picked up a set of VT Calais International wheels for it, but upon fitting them to the car I've come to find the centre-caps wont fit on the front due to the dust-caps on the hubs. My concern is safety over the look. I already feel "unsafe" driving...

G'day mate, VERY interesting post and good taste in cars / rims by the way I am having this EXACT same issue trying to run VT internationals on the front of my 89 VN Sedan and getting the centrecaps to fit on. I bought 3mm spacers as You did. But after fitting them, and putting the Rims...

G'day all, I feel like a total douche asking this but any and all input it highly appreciated. I have owned 2 VN Exec Wagons (1990 and 1991) both having a Passenger-Side Overflow Bottle with the twin-hose pop-on cap. No Radiator Cap on either car. I now own a 1989 VN Executive Sedan that...

Old battery was buggered, new one was the solution (Y) No problems since *touch wood*

Thanks a million to everyone for all and any input I didn't expect to have such a variety of answers, cheers. I've cleaned the terminals thoroughly on the car and on the battery and the problem still occurs. I'll have a look for any breakage in the wires and try for a new battery and see how...

VN Commodore battery keeps going flat? One week ago I purchased a 1989 VN Executive and even at the dealer-ship it was having this problem which could be over-come each and every time (I 'test drove' or 'filled it with petrol' prior to actually making the buy) with a jump-starter pack...

G'day mate! If you wouldn't mind replying/letting me know what ended up being your problem? / Solution to this issue you were having as my R31 is doing the exact same thing, I've replaced my Dizzy / Crank Angle Sensor / Ignition Module, but and really starting to think it MAY be something fuel...

About 2 months ago I put super low rear king springs in my 1990 Vn wagon. I think they've settled by now as the car is noticeably a little lower than stock. I want to go lower and am thinking of going a set of springs lower. However I have a pair of MONROE GT GAS LOWERED REAR SHOCKS that i...

Does anyone know of any helpful tips or methods Other than Spring Compressors? for removing stock rear springs from a VN wagon, their stiff as **** and I cannot for the life of me, pull them out by hand.

Got a VN Wagon & I've had my battery run flat 3 times in the past 2 weeks, whilst working outside. Running a 1000W Kenwood monoblock powering a 1200W Kenwood amp. The sad thing is after the first time it went flat (I got about 5 hours playing time first time before it went flat) then the two...

My car is ALMOST completely roadworthy, getting it done within the next 2 weeks. I have a very light tint on my Altezza clear tail-lights, which failed as they were the incorrect external colour. Reguardless that I have the right coloured globes etc. Which prompts me to think, Will Holden be...

Purchased Superlow Kingsprings for $102.00 even today. Throw them in the rear next week along with the shocks!

I just installed a L67 OTR Cold Air Intake on my VN V6 Wagon, and have noticed slight improvements but nothing drastic. I'm pretty happy with how it is now, but everyone posting about CAI's seem to upgrade their air filters to K&N / DRIFT or other brands etc. Is it REALLY worth it in the end...

Threw the CAI on. Took all of about 20 minutes and am pleased. Looks great! Haven't driven the car too much yet to notice it but when I'm out during this week I'll pay closer attention and test it out a bit. Is a K&N Panel Filter REALLY worth it, what benefits does it have other than the fact...

$50 brand new, couldn't be any happier!

Thanks a million mate, props to ya for photo's because it always helps out THAT much more! Highly appreciated! Got mine yesterday, will be throwing it on within the next half hour! =)

Hahahaha, cheers for all input guys!

Really at a loss as to WHAT Springs I should get, I've owned Kings before, and I have an offer for some Pedders and Lovells. Can anyone who owns a VN - VS WAGON upload pictures of their wagons ass end, and let me know what brand and specific model springs your running? Really need to get...

Looks like a real bargain, can't wait to see future progress pictures.

Paid a lot for what? The car? $750 with 8 months rego, stock as, with nothing majorly wrong except cosmetics. I reckon I've done far better than you mate. And to do everything blue, being my preferred colour, as it's reminiscent of the ocean, I've probably spent only about $14.50 on all the...

Thanks mate for the helpful suggestions. Yeah, I've always been curious about that overflow bottle as my last VN didn't have one. And I will most certainly take care of the CAI good and well when it arrives this week.

Once again, went over the engine bay, and made it immaculate. As the old saying goes; "Keep her clean, treat her mean".

Sick of the grey door inlays, threw a bit of fabric paint over them, not too much however. Will later probably replace fabric entirely with something better. But for now, it beats the shitty faded grey:

I should have, but it really didn't cross my mind until I read your post just then. Feel like a major ####wit right about now.

Been searching for a CAI for less than $120 as I can find them only on ebay for $130 buy it now + about $20 postage. Holden say they can't help me out, and to just try wreckers or ebay. Called about 9 wreckers in a 70km radius, and none said they had any wrecks with a GM CAI, so when I finally...

I've removed the pedal pads ages ago, as after staring down at them whilst driving, they lost their touch, if they ever had any. Not entirely sure what to do in regards to the interior. May very well go back to stock colour for the center console, and keep the blue there as a spare? I most...

CAI: $102 on ebay, very pleased! Monroe GT Gas Rear Shocks, $50 Brand new, Ebay, I'm lovin' it:

Thanks for the comments, yes, I adored the blue, but am growing tired of it, slowly and am thinking going Ivory/Cream white instead, adding white seat covers & mats etc.

New level 2 dash cluster: Few little changes here and there, Added VS Roofing slats after being resprayed in Gloss White, side strip along doors painted silver/chrome, more calais/berlina style chrome stripping/garnish added throughout:

I called up Holden personally and they said I'd be pressing hard to find them apart from on ebay or going with a brand name such as SS, Ramjet etc etc. As they stopped being available from Holden as of 4 years ago I was told. Hence I would have grabbed one then and there.

Currently running the stock airbox, and looking to get this: eBay Australia: Buy new & used fashion, electronics & home d I had the rear muffler removed and replaced with straight pipe, so its running straight pipe from the centre muffler back, which has made it sound a lot gruntier than...

Cheers mate, appreciate it.

I have an Unregistered VN Exec, with the shitty standard dash cluster. Being an Exec, it has the shitty stage 1 cluster with Petrol, Speed and Temp. I've picked up another cluster out of a newer VN V6 that has the option of the Revs tacho. My cluster reads 346,XXX and the new one with revs...

I have 14''s on the back, this VN sadly came with the 14'' stockies... so 14'' and 16'' on the front, is this still acceptable?

Ah no worries, it was only a minor defect, hence I didnt wanna have to get 2 BRAND new stockies when I've got 2 perfectly good 16'' wheels sitting there, that I could possibly use just to wipe the defect... But I may pop out to the wreckers and get some new tyres this week.

Got defected for bald rear stockies today in Gippsland victoria I have 2 16'' Imitation VR Clubsport rims with legal tread, about 80% and my 2 front stockies have 90% tread, if I throw the good stockies on the back and the 16'' on the front, will it pass RWC or not? Cant find anything on...

I'm planning to go Super lows in the rear + some Monroe GT Lowered shocks just to bring it down in the ass that little bit as that's the look I like, I put Ultra Lows in my last VN wagon and got done, so shant go that low again, as good as it did look >.> But thanks for the heads up!

Thanks for that, living in the country, the younger blokes here have ridiculously low & loud cars but being only 2 police officers, they seem to not care and drive behind and past them daily, as long as your not causing rucus it's fine... Thanks for the confirmation, lets just hope city trips...
