That's a decent 16 years of thread digging! Anyways apart from the usual TV cable adjustment and ATF fluid level check, there's also the TPS plastic guide sleeve that fits on the TB before installation of the TPS. Have you taken the TB off, as that's when a lot of people lose the small plastic...

If the Torque Lockup Convertor is not slotted onto the transmission pump extension spindle in the proper three stages, then all types of issues will present themselves when driving. Take your car back & they will have to pull the transmission out, redo it properly & make sure all the electrical...

This issue is usually the overdrive solenoid on the TH700R that is either not functioning or not communicating with the ECU. The solenoid normally is energised by a signal from the ECU which gets it's readings from the VSS to lockup into direct drive after 75-80kms/phr. Also the VSS (vehicle...

All good I haven't logged in for a quiet a while & noticed this thread active, so that's how I noticed as I'm in the process of transplanting a worked 3800 which will most likely include the GM Eaton M62 as pictured. That other one on gumtree might even be an M112, with the right engine bay...

This is an GM 3800 Eaton M62 top mount supercharger to fit a VN / VP / VR - V6 - which is mine, that link on the gumtree advert is for an LSJ or a Merc, definitely not for the 3800 ..

Hi mate, I have done my research extensively & actually have a reco'd & ported M62, rotors & snout completely renewed, with the correct lim (lower intake manifold) & gaskets, polished fuel rails, custom made chromed "U" bend/elbow for the 70mm throttle body, 42psi injectors, & L67 coolant pipe...

Great work mate, keep at it :)

Cool mate, here are a few older pics from last year of the S-Pack (SS) interior, I sold the rear "Aunger Louvre" which was pretty good for the heat up here. Have had darkest legal tint all round for awhile now, which is really great + last pic is the boot install with the lid off. I am really...

Thanks for the compliments! , I have a bunch of interior pics I took a while back, so I will post them soon. I also have a custom tailored semi leather interior to install, I designed it & an upholstery place created it - they even got the T23i trim colour bang on! Got a new MOMO steering...

This is one of my vehicles being a '91 SrsI S-Pack VP HSV optioned by first owner, I'm the 2nd owner so not many around like mine in the 8 years I've owned it. I've only ever seen one other & that's me living in the 3 Eastern States. If you know me then you know what it's capable of due to the...

Castlemaine Rod Shop sell the kit so I'm sure they would sell the Pulleys to suit

Gear box mount is pretty easy to do yourself, & takes next to no time. Engine mounts are a PITA but I still do my own installation. If you're doing the engine mounts yourself, make sure you have a decent pry-bar as aligning both the mounts even with the brackets loose really requires a second...

Fitted New Front Radius Rods, New 30mm K-Mac Front Swaybar, New Balljoint style Wasp Front Link pins, plus a New Adjustable Rear Whiteline 22mm Swaybar & the accessory kit with it, that replaces the traditional rear link pins. Handles beautifully, adjusted the K-Mac adjusting bearing tops so I...

Nigel knows all - no pun intended, very knowledgeable as usual - but I'd just say that for the average layman getting a set of VT injectors & installing them into a VN/VP drop n' go, is not good. You will find out how much extra fuel you go through, I discussed this with another member a few...

New coolant temp sensor & New Inlet Manifold Gaskets may solve it, other than that maybe the fuel reg is not doing it's job, BTW if you're running your vehicle with no air filter the MAF becomes the next stop point for foreign material. If plugs are dirty pull them out & give the contact points...

OP. this could very well be the MAF playing up perhaps as it is one of the main factors in communicating to the PCM what happening in-terms of air intake

Simply go for a drive then let it be for 20mins, then apply the cement on the affected area & push it in well where you believe the leak is happening. The heat from the drive will assist the concrete bonding, just don't do immediately after a long stint or expect exhaust pipe burns.

Op, IMO it really does come down to knowledge, 6K will get you a very well looked after VY & as stated by many in this thread the Ecotec & related components are straight forward to fix & parts are in abundance. I do all servicing myself so beware of a lot of cars for sale, as most of the...

OP, you need to remove it as an assembly or the a/c support pulley bracket will break. Do your best not to damage as it's made of a sandcasted alloy compound.

If it's your car then a unique Zardi key specific to the VIN is standard issue to disable the built in engine immobiliser. Beyond that, a secondary after market system will have a tumbler code therefore no way to start the car, unless you strip it & re-wire the brains.

centre drive shaft bearing is warped by the sound of it, easier to get an exchange drive shaft, as that way you know all uni's are new plus the centre bearing.

To be thorough you will need to have a leak down test done firstly, which will be not much or free because they will hope for you to spend thousands for them to do repairs if found to be required. For your OP though, It will be the water pump, & thermostat sticking from your description - which...

Nothing to worry about from what I read, your PCM (ECU) is in control of the Auto Transmission being Electric, & with 5 people it would have a sense of more weight same as towing etc. Same thing with the earlier TH700 in VN/VP, except they are Hydraulic (operate on line pressures only) except...

IAC TPS CAS etc yes, but it sounds like a non stock memcal perhaps, or just the DFI acting up & or leads not in the posi .. got to check everything mate - VN/VP Gregory's 261

i use a 14,400 btu B&M supercooler of which i run through the oem oil cooler with in the radiator. the noise you hear could well be the standard accumulator valve plates with the standard hydraulic pressure pushing the check balls into place & in action the box sounds long in the tooth (like...

K&N is the go as I stated in my earlier post. 100%

Cool man so you used a genuine Delphi or VDO ?, eitherways I'm glad it's all fixed for now. I stand by the previous posts of mine to have a spare ECU & DFI though - definitely comes in handy, put it to you this way, a professional mechanic will have these items on stand by for early Commodores...

it sounds like the trans selector linkage is out of alignment = easy fix DIY - plus check trans fluid level. My last post pretty much sums it up for you mate.

K&N are the goods full stop. I have the Pathy R50 & VP-S (both have the same P/N Being KN 33-20312) which is Ryco air filter A360. I have found increased throttle response with the 4WD plus better fuel eco, & naturally better all round performance for VP-S, considering all the other mods...

take it off clean it with proper degreaser wash, let dry thoroughly then when placed back on - start engine & use a cake of soap applied to the belt's inner side, then outer side whilst engine is spinning. That belt grip stuff is junk - good for making tyres shine perhaps, good ol' soap cake...

inhibitor switch is in need of replacing IMO, but you would be checking that the selector linkage is correct. Trans Oil Check? If low then top up if required - either ways do your local research for good transmission places. The next time you get it going, drive straight to the chosen one for a...

Replace ECU with a spare unit to rule it out & maybe a faulty DFI unit (Direct Fire Ignition) Always good to have a good spare DFI Pack for testing & ECU as well.

Throttle Position Sensor, or a vacuum hose that is on it's way out (heat expands the cracks in the offending hose - then higher revs result) . Could be the manifold gasket needs replacing, but still thinking TPS though. Usual response is :- 1) first check your codes, 1) first get the Gregory's...

Throttle Position Sensor (TPS) Idle Air Control (IAC) - both of these are on the throttle body, Manifold Absolute Pressure (MAP) top mounted on firewall behind passenger strut tower. Could also be the fuel pressure regulator, which is mounted on the fuel rail or even the Manifold Air Temperature...

= lol, that's what they all say ;) My shed will be a little higher when I get it done in a few years - but man this is absolute perfection in every sense of the word - so well done. In saying that, you're doing it for yourself so the praise isn't required -just a big "Thank You" for sharing...

Well - multi fit kits are a "steer clear of" - always get the exact make & model Antenna & or motor for your make of vehicle, usually easy to install a new Aeropro Antenna

You can have all this with the Dual Blackvue 550, I personally I have 2 Blackvue 500's (1 for the front & 1 for the rear) with the BlackVue Power Magic Pro Dual Channel auto battery sensor cut off - so look around & be patient - Technology is always advancing, soon <within the next 7 years> nano...
