VN engine changeover

[VNSV6]

ok thanks heaps!!! but will the series 1 radiator connect to the series 2 enigne? the series 2 radiator has a few massive holes in it. i will prob be doing this next weekend. The car i bought off ebay is ALOT better than expected!! has TWIN 2.5inch exaust, awesome sony cd player and speakers, sports steering wheel, interior IMMACULATE, 200000 on the clock, lowered, brand new 16" 225 tires all round and paint in perfect!! i am more than happy !

No you will definitely want a "series 2" radiator to suit later cooling system (you need a radiator with a pressure cap for a start lol). Forgot to mention you will have to swap over the heater hoses and tap aswell. It all sounds worse than it is, once you start ripping it to bits it will all come together quite easily. Sounds like you got quite a score there with the car, twin 2.5" pipes on a V6 is more than a tad overkill though (lets just say even a stock/mild 5L wont push enough gas to warrant those size pipes.....)
Best of luck with the conversion!

Ok so after alot of weekends working and not being able to do the changeover ive finally done it!! car starts and runs and sounds really good!! i havnt swapped the heater tap over it seems to be the same as the one out of the series 2 vn. One small problem im having is theres a warning light on the dash and the cars sometimes miss's wen revving, my brother has suggested its the oxygen sensor. Has anyone got an idea on what it it?

guessing check engine light? hit up the ALDL for a point in the right direction....

CAS maybe, or plugs/leads check connections....

I swapped over motors from 2 Datsun 120Y coupes in about 5 hours but there is nothing to them. Only thing I broke was the speedo cable on both when lifting out the engine.

I was making a good one out of the 2 of them, both went to scrap metal when I had to move

Okay so ive checked ALDL and the warning "Code 34 - Manifold Absolute Pressure Sensor (MAP) - Voltage Too Low " how can i fix this problem?

 

[VNSV6]

All good, changed the map sensor and she runs perfect!! photos will be up soon, looking and sounding like an awesome VN!! Love the VN's this ones going to be taken care of and spent $$$$ on!! Thanks everyone for there comments and help, i will be on the road in 2 weeks loving it!
