Thanks for the replies guys and yes I wasn't using the correct name for them thingies... I'll keep looking for a wagon or ute one. Cheers!!!

Hi Guys. Looking at fitting a VY K frame into my VU Maloo. So I can get the camber arms, I've got the option on a sedan one from a V6, but I've been reading a few threads and people saying the suspension mounts are different on the sedans/wagons/utes? So is this conversion even possible? Cheers

awesome, thanks for replying guys!

Can somebody tell me if the VY Maloo tonneau cover will fit my VU Maloo? I've read somewhere the sailplanes are different

apologies for the thread dig, anybody have an idea where i can source a VU maloo tonneau cover? I'm wondering if i purchase a standard VU one and have it modified by a canvas outfit? Not even sure how they work on these things, having just moved up from my VS ute

I was considering trying to also use the VT loom, it's more about getting the different shaped dash to fit in the VS window. I assume all the dash mounting points are different being a totally different car

Yeah not really an option, my dash is tired and i want to fit a VT engine and gearbox and have a dash that matches.

Excuse the thread dig, i'm looking at fitting a VT 304 into my VS, did you get the VT dash to fit into yours?

Thread dig, so the VT cluster can be made to fit into a VS dash?

Thread dig but that bloody ute strikes again. It's taking longer and longer to fire when it's hot, pretty much what it did before the dizzy failed last time. What have these clowns done when they fitted the V8 to the V6 that's frying the hall effect sensor? I have since discovered that it's a...

Thanks for the responses guys! Earths are something I haven't looked into in depth, I do know the +ve feed out the alternator is nice and health looking at the alt end, looking at any more of it might not be so easy though. Why the fluck did they put it down there? I miss my 304, so much easier...

Ok so I'm pretty sure I've read nearly every thread on here about this problem. Time to start my own. I've had the system from my Monaro fitted to my replacement VY wagon, Pioneer Amp, Infinity 4ch amp and speakers. Worked great in the Munt-ro but now I have the dreaded whine. It's been back...

So to update/give this thread some closure; I've now got a VY V8 wagon in metallic snot green. I'm the third owner with the first two being from the same family. 210k's and 7grand is a much better deal. It's an auto which I think is arse, but the Dragon likes. Fitting low springs and new shocks...

So after doing some digging i've discovered the wagon was an insurance write off back in 2009, from photos i've seen it appears to have had damage to the pillars. Considering the K's are 236,000 and he still wants $14000 i'm pretty well ready to walk away.

I've still not driven the 6L engine. It's even harder to find a wagon with one of those engines... let alone a manual. I've made this bloke a counter offer, just need him to come to the party now.
