I spoke to Pat at v6conversions today about hooking up my electronic speedo.
we need to run a speed signal to the ecu which should be 2 pulses per rotation of the tailshaft (I think)
this would go to the brown wire with a yellow trace form the ecu which I think is on the white plug that we ran some other wires to near the ecu.

when the ecu gets a speed signal it stops it from running in limp mode.
have you done this?

hey bud,
i have used a vn ecu it does not control the gearbox we did not have to even hook up the wiring for it,just reverse lights.
my car i used a cable which clips into the vl dash and bolts in the vn box,you should of got the cable much cheaper and easyier i think.
my car is now on the road

mine is a vp ecu, but the ecu requires a speed signal to come into it so that it doesn't run too rich.
pins 6,7 & 8 on the back of the cluster put out 2 pulses per rotation, and I would think that you need to run a wire from one of those pins to the brown wire with a yellow trace to tell the ecu how fast you are going.

congrats on getting it on the road.
can you get a pic of how you mounted the front plate? I want to mount mine in the same place

yeah the vp computer is different,the car runs and drives fine now i will upload a video when i can,
i brought L brackets from bunnings and screwed them into the top of the inside bar, then bolted the plate to them fairly easy.

how did you go with insurance, I suppose when you got to the modifications question it took a while to answer.

what insurance? lol they won't insure me for what iv'e spent,at a reasonable premium any way,will prob have to wait till i'm 25,this car will always be a second car i will never park it any where and its always parked in my drive way behind other cars.
i got the alarm just for reassurance.

I'll be keen to see what NRMA (my current insurer) do for me. I'll want an agreed value of $20k because I've spent about that much on it, and it'll cost that mush to buy a replacement replica (or late model second hand car) if the worst happens. I'm 32 with only 1 glass repair claim when someone threw a rock off an overpass so hopefully that helps get the premium down.

I'm expecting it to be a lengthy phone call wen listing all mods

we took the vl out today for a good run up the mountains,very happy with how it went.
the only thing we are going to change are the diff gears.

what ratio do you have and what are you planning to put in?
