vt commodore

Hi there, I’m wanting to convert my dull green cluster globes to LED/SMDs. Unfortunately I’m not all that good at soldering, is there anyone in the Melbourne area who still works on these clusters that can help me with mine? I’m willing to pay for the service. Cheers

Hi guys, Recently ive been collecting parts to lower my car, currently have Monroe gt lowered rear shocks, SL king springs front and rear. Just wondering what you guys would recommend for the front, whether or not it’s worth to buy new front lowered shocks with struts? Front suspension is...

Howdy, I’ll keep it short. Grandpa took my car while I was at work, went behind my back and got my rear tyres changed. Unfortunately he is a major cheapskate and he bought 2 tyres for $200, they’re a set of “Comforser CF510s”. Looked up reviews of the tyres online and they’re all massively...

Hiya, not sure if this question has been asked recently, couldn’t find any answers. But I bought my VT knowing the AC was cooked, seeing as it’s heating up I’ve been saving up some money to get it sorted. I went to a shop and they found a leak in the compressor I think. Quoted me about $200...

Howdy, Recently attempted to remove my spoiler off my VT as the paints cooked. Read a couple threads and had a go but I’ve hit a wall. Can’t seem to find where the spoiler brake light plug is? Tugged on a couple cables but didn’t find anything that looked like the cable routed through the...

Hey guys bit of dumb question, but I’m about to start a teardown of an ecotec and I’ve just found a full gasket kit in the shed I had. No I’m thinking I might give it a freshen up and give it all new gaskets. Is there anything I need to mark or look out for when doing the teardown? I’ve got all...

Is it possible to change the tension or the stiffness of the indicator stick? Mine feels quite weak and as if it will break soon, but the previous owner had already replaced it once. Would I need to buy a new stick?-

Hey all, new here. Couldn't find an answer in other threads so I made a new one. VT 3.8 Ecotec Automatic im trying to get on the road Really rough Idle, whole car vibrating in park, which gets worse in drive, reverse, etc.. Seems to be okay when I give her some revs.. Recently changed coil pack...

Lowered springs. What way should the bottom part face to the left it’s tighter and dosnt wiggle as much. The photo of it facing to the right it wiggles more but not sure what way they should face. They are khrl-46sl Appreciate any help

Hey guys, I’m new to this place, used it a while ago but haven’t since. I own a 99’ VT Berlina and it’s got some issues. It can run in both gas and petrol, but the gas system was removed by the pervious owner (took out the tank and cut the wires, not ideal) So far, the fuel system (tank...

Hey guys i have just developed a really loud noise in my vt commy wondering if anyone would know what it is link below

Hey iv got a issues iv got a 1998 vt commodore manual and when I put the key in I can turn it to accessories with no issues as soon as I turn to kick it over all power cuts out and I have to disconnect the battery and reconnect for it to work any advise as to what it could be?

Hi, i'm seeking help on why my beloved VT Commodore kept stalling today. It is a one of few advanced VTS that came out so everything under the hood except the starter motor and oil filter is all original and still working till this day amazingly. I'm keeping an open mind as its an old car and...

Hi all, have an annoying problem with My car (1999 VT commodore) wouldn't start the other day unless I pushed the accelerator while turning the key, after it started if I let my foot off the accelerator the car would stall, I held it at 1k revs (idle revs when cold) for a minute and let off to...

so im in he process of getting my manifols setup for a passenger sided turbo and the size im using for my manifold is 1 1/2” sced 40 for the main manifold but would that size be to small for the crossover pipe? Does the crossover pipe have to be a bit bigger because of all 3 cylinders connect to...

Have a recent rebuilt l67 and lost compression in 2 cylinders. Both around 60psi. I have new heads to put on it but was just wondering, if 2 cylinders are down on compression would that cause a major increase in fuel consumption? Like 16-18l per 100 average? Thanks

L67 running rough and just realised I had l36 Injectors in lol. What symptoms would this cause due to the fact it isn't tuned to use l36 Injectors? Would it explain struggling to start/not starting and running really rough with lack of throttle response? Thanks

Okay Ive put an l67 in my VT commodore that I bought and went to put the belts on but the pulleys are wrong! The belts don't fit on properly, some pulleys look smaller such as the idlers under the coil packs than what they are on pictures. The main pulley is the idler pulley next to the AC...

I have a V6 VT commodore and it seems to be using 14L per 100km. I've checked this myself by totaling how much I drove by how much I've put in and by checking the digital readout. I've changed the O2 sensors, spark plugs, leads, coil packs, fuel pump and have a cat back exhaust (probably does...

Doing an l67 rebuild and one of the rods is stuffed. The person I got it off said they are forged but I'm not sure. I couldn't find the ones he said he had so I brought a factory replacement and was wondering if it would sit fine along side the others. Thanks

I'm putting an l67 into a VT Commodore and need help with a few things. Can I use the ecotec auto transmission? Can I use the ecotec fuel pump? And when wiring it up will it be constantly under boost because the ecotec loom doesn't have the plug for thesupercharger? Thanks Sorry I've posted a...

I'm putting an l67 in my VT Commodore and I'll he using the stock ecotec wiring loom. How can i get the boost bypass solenoid to work because I don't want to be constantly boosting due to fuel consumption. Thanks :)

I recently for an L67 that has been fully rebuilt but if course I'm going to strip it myself to make sure it's been done properly. He said it had JE forged pistons that has 20 thou over. Won't this make too higher compression? How can I add compression back to run more boost? Thanks

Hi, I plan on doing an engine swap on my VT. I currently have an ecotec and want to put in an L67. Can I use the ecotec wiring loom? And what do I do about the Memcal because the engine doesn't come with a pcm? Will a no VATS chip fix this issue? Thanks

Is Putting an l67 into a VT a straight swap if you get the looms and ecu? Thanks

My VT series 1 is using 15L per 100KM and i dont know why. Ive changed 02 sensors, fuel pump, oil filter, fuel filter and the oil. What esle could cause bad fuel usage? it has 280xxxKms.

Sorry for posting again but my VT is using a lot of fuel, 15L per 100KM. I've recently changed the fuel pump, o2 Sensors, fuel filter, oil, oil filter, cleaned maf sensor and changed air filter and still it uses heaps of fuel. What else can I do to fix this issue?

My series 1 VT was running rich for a while using 15L per 100 so I changed the o2 sensors to Brand new ones and it's still using 15L per 100. I'm not sure what to do. It has 280xxxKms on it and I've ordered a coolant temp sensor and also have a fuel injector service kit ready to go. What else...

Hi, i have a series 1 VT berlina and on the dash is reads 14.7 litres per 100. After changing spark plugs some of them were quite dark leading me to believe its running rich. How can i fix this? Its does 280xxxKms

So I have an auto VT. Yesterday I was driving it and it was fine. Stopped at a friend's, turned it off, started it again about 10mins later and started driving... all of a sudden it is shuddering and feeling like it's about to stall even though doing 60. Went round the block and back to my...

Hello there everyone! :) Thought I would give this forum a shot - as i have already paid for two separate call out Auto Electricians and the bill is just.. incredible. I have also regularly used this forum in the past for information i may have needed. Blimmen great community guys! Basically...

vt calais ign on, temp gauge dont read anything above the bottom mark and the high speed fans are running while ign on (aircon is not on) i've tried tests from this post fans are working in the tests but hav'nt tried 68ohm resistor across the temp sensor connector but have tried a piece of...

Hi, was wondering if anyone could offer any advice? After driving through *almost* flood water on my way to work, I noticed that the driver's side headlight had stopped working. Swapped it with passenger side, and they both worked, but very dim. Found ground near back of battery and cleaned, but...

Long time lurker first time poster! Inching closer to my 'great project car' and one idea I can't escape is to buy a V2 Monaro and turn it in to a replica of the original concept. May start with just the VT bits and then at a later stage look at paint and interior trim. Seems like a pretty easy...

Ignition barrel broke in my vt today key turns in the barrel but the release pin is not lining up with the hole. How do i get the barrel out?

My ignition barrel broke in my vt today. It seemed to be locked at one point but managed to free it with a bit of jiggling and gentle persuasion. The pin to release it hower is not coming around to the hole. How can i get my barrel out to replace it?

Calling all commodore gods. Keen to know your opinions, my VT has a knocking/clicking noise, primarily when I take off or turn a corner at lower speeds. It feels like a steering rack issue perhaps but then I read up about engine mounts.... The cars done 290,000 and has been well looked...

Hi, just got under my VT V6 to see if I'm able to remove the starter motor myself. I could remove two vertical bolts on the bottom and one horizontal bolt on the top of it. But I can't figure out how to disconnect the wires. Should I use 13mm ring spanner to undo "30" B+ Terminal and pull off...
