Hi All, Does anyone have any advice on the PCV piping/hose setup on an LS3 dropped into an earlier model Commodore? I have my LS3 crate motor ready to drop into my VY SS Sedan, but can't find factory hoses that match the fitting locations on the engine. Have people made their own...

Cheers mate, Might get myself a new LS1 pump and then fit that. Any opinions on throttle bodies? Did you use the LS1 with an adaptor plate or swap to something else? Cheers

My VY SS had hotdogs in the middle to a single muffler that rumbled pretty well. I never noticed any drone in the cabin myself. I am looking at getting a new exhaust to go with my new motor and am planning on using hotdogs again, maybe to a varex at the back.

Has anyone on here used this ProFlow GM LS Oil Cooler Adapter? I have my motor out of the car currently and looking at this adapter it really looks like the fittings coming off the bottom would foul the cross member. Anyone got any experience? Recommendation of fittings/angles etc? For...

Cheers mate. Anything to know about swapping the balancer? You wouldn't happen to have any specific information on modifying the waterpump would you? Also do you know if there are any issues with the P/S pump outlet fowling the first plug lead? Cheers

So my LS3 has arrived to replace my (very) tired LS1. I will use the converter box for the reluctor wheel, sensors etc, and replace the throttle body with a cable (probably Holley) TB. I had thought that all of the LS1 bolt-ons would fit the LS3 however, and it seems I'm wrong. The LS1 P/S Pump...

Thanks for that mate, that's pretty much what I figured. I am planning on having a sunroof put in as well so moving extra wiring around should be no worries. I imagine I'll also have to add wiring for the lights above the rear doors. So keen for an all black interior

Hey all! Hoping someone can help me out, I have a VY Series 1 SS Sedan with the leather interior, and that awful looking cream headlining and trim. I am hoping to swap the headlining and trim for the black lining and trim from a VY Series II Calais. Can the interior trim be swapped between an...

This bastard here can contribute to a loss of coolant, worth checking. I would have said head gasket problems which is what I have except I would expect you would be getting white smoke...

Yea it's a fair whack of cash just for a reservoir, but I've got to drop everything in the bay for a full re-spray anyway and it seems a waste to put all the effort into a full professional paint job just to re-install those ugly reservoirs and ruin the look of the whole bay. My mate had silver...

Yea cheers mate, finally got a chance to take a look at the car yesterday, looks like I've got the float. Should have been obvious now I think about it as the computer has given me low coolant warnings before. Guess it's time to crack out the multi-meter. Would have been cool to keep that...

Hey mate, sounds like an awesome ute. Just wondering what the driving experience is like on the 20"s? Would also be keen to know what brand the ripshifter is and whether or not you are able to get adjusted to be comfortable. Just about to replace the shifter on my 6-speed again and would love...

Fair enough, I just don't love the way that the SS Spoiler has the unpainted underside. I have the R8 front bumper, and should have a Monaro fluted bonnet (everything is unpainted currently), but think that the R8 rear end is just a bit much for me though. Would just like to have a full colour...

Has anyone installed the Aeroflow Radiator overflow tank and/or power steering reservoir to their Series 1 LS1 VY? The plastic bottles on my car are pretty aged and looking pretty rough and I'm keen to replace them with the much nicer black finish aeroflow options...

Hi All, Has anyone here put the spoiler off an R8 Clubsport Sedan (VY) onto an SS Sedan (VY)? If so did anyone have any troubles and are there any pics around? The whole car is getting re-sprayed anyway so not that worried about paint/colour related issues, just wondering if it would be an...
