hey guys, anyone know if it’s possible to take a vu Ute (v6) and swap the exhaust out for the twin cat system on a vy 2? Wanting a twin exit system (tailpipe on both sides of the car) and the only ones I can find are for the twin cat systems. I figure I’ll have to put another hanger or 2 on the...

Hey guys, got a vr 5l with suspect at least one bad injector. Will I be able to get away with putting 650cc Injectors in as long as I don’t upgrade the fuel rail or pump? When I bought the “new” motor for it it came with a race works rail and bigger injectors i was told 650s that I have laying...

Hey guys, the tailshaft centre bearing in my vu is shot. Have a tailshaft out of a vx. Will the vx one bolt up or are they different

Doesn’t look like it

Hey guys, my vu Ute has manual windows and I want to put power windows in, how difficult is it?

Fix speedo to get limi back, got it. Thanks for the help

Probably, taped the nuetral safety thing in place so it starts

No speedo, my dumb ass mess up ordering the custom tail shaft

Nope but when it had the vr motor and the getrag it had no issues at all

The ecu is stock vr statesman auto ( I’ve put a getrag manual in it tho) the motor is out of a vt ss race car but I’ve swapped the vr throttle body and intake manifold on so it will work, I revved it to 6k 3 times in short bursts. When it had the vr motor still in it it had the limiter but...

Hey guys, got a vt 5l in my vr stato. Every so often I rev it to 5-6.5k a couple times but every time I do it once it comes back down it tries to die in the ass and has trouble staying running. Anyone got an idea as to what’s causing that and if I should even be able to rev it that high before...

Hey guys, have my vr stato that’s got a vt 5l a good old Limi bash the other day and discovered the limiter doesn’t appear to be there the thing just revved, anyone know if that’s cos I’m running a vr ecu? And if so is it possible to tune in a limiter

Hey guys, need to replace the ignition leads on my vu v6, I have a basically brand new set that came off my vr 5l when I tore it down 7 ish months ago. Will they work, obviously I’ll have 2 spares and the lengths will probably be a tad off but will they do the job cos I’d rly like to avoid...

Hey guys, I’ve put a 5 spd getrag in my vr stato 5l and had the tailshaft customised for the new length but forgot the speedo drive gear, will a tailshaft out of a vs ss Ute or wagon work?

Ah that explains a thing or two cos it was unhooked from the rear k frame, thanks

Hey guys, got this ******** under the tub of my vu on the drivers side no clue wtf it is, can anyone enlighten me?

Hey guys, thinking of putting a vy l67 in my vx Ute. Will be buying engine, ecu and loom together. Are there any other parts that need to be changed over like maybe the fuel pump, also how much boost can those engines handle stock?

Fully aware how old this post is but I’m gonna reply anyway, what I did on my stato manual swap was turn it till it started (meaning it thinks it’s in either neutral or park) and tape it in place to it can’t move.

Site won’t let me upload a photo for some reason, it’s a t shaped female plug all black 2 pin ones horizontal ones vertical, I can’t see any male versions anywhere that aren’t already plugged in

Hey guys, got this plug on my vr stato that I’m not sure what it goes to, sits next to the radiator on the drivers side right next to another identical one. Is that for thermo fans or what’s it for?

Hey guys, got a sports my on my vx Ute (the one the bolts into the front of the tub) and I want to put 4 spotties on it, not sure how to run the wires through to the high beams and then into the cab, ik how to do it with them on a bullbar but never done it like this. I’m also wanting all 4...

Hey guys, looking at putting a few saas gauges in my vr (ones that aren’t in the dash) I’ve researched how to hook them up and it seems fairly straightforward, my one question is where is the ignition wire in the dash that you’re apparently supposed to splice them into? Do I need to pull the...

Hey guys, got 2 vacuum barbs on the front of my intake manifold no sure where they go, left one is smaller than the right. I beleive the right goes to the MAP sensor but no clue where the left goes my guess is the heater tap but I’m not sure. If anyone knows would be great, also if anyone knows...

Don’t see the harm to be honest, I came across this post with a similar issue who’s to say someone else won’t, this site is meant for commodore owners to help each other out so if I’ve had a problem relevant to the post that I’ve fixed imma go right ahead and reply to said post

Didn’t bother to check when it was posted mate

I found when my leads were one spot out (needed to be one spot clockwise each) it still ran just ran like **** and I had piss all power to the point I couldn’t use 5th

Hey guys, down to the last part to get my statesman back on the road (power steering high pressure line) but I haven’t been able to find one yet that fits, what damage will I do if I drive it without power steering fluid as long as I leave the pump belt off. I’ve heard it will be fine but I’ve...

So I’ve got this plug that I’m not sure where it goes, it’s right near the water temp sensor, any ideas?

Figured it out, god knows how but the dissy plug had come off, put that back on and it fired right up. Cheers for the suggestions tho

Hey guys having trouble getting spark with my statesman, had it running then went to start it again and no spark, have changed coil and ignition relay (I assume that’s in charge of spark) and nothing. Are there any other fuses/relays that may be blown or any wires to check as it’s a real pain in...

Hey guys, doing the finishing touches on my statesman but not sure which line is which as one needs replacing. The line in question mounts to the back of the PS pump at the bottom and has a bracket that bolts to the block more or less half way along, I have the line with the container looking...

Yea v8

Not too sure, where abouts is the oil pressure switch. Also given it’s a vt motor in a vr will the plugs match?

Where abouts on the intake do they connect to, I know the drivers side one has a port under the throttle body but can’t find one for the passenger side one

I was told when I bought the motor it just needed oil and it’s ready to go, if the previous owner drained the sump would the pump remain “primed” as it does Doing an oil change. I did notice a slight decrease in oil on the dipstick after letting it run for 10-20 seconds with some revs. It’s...

Hey guys, just got my statesman running (thank you to everyone who gave me advice) but I pulled the oil filler cap off the valve cover and didn’t see any oil even with a torch, does that means my oil pump is fucked or how long should oil take to reach there?

Hey guys, trying to plum up what I assume is the cooling system on my vt 5l (been put in a vr) but I can see multiple ports for it, 1 or 2 on the intake manifold and 2 coming out of the water pump, any advice would be greatly appreciated

Yea thought as much, the front of the manifold I noticed is also missing something the vr one has, cheers for the advice

Hey guys, not long put a vt 5l in my vr, I’m aware of a few minor differences so far but I haven’t been able to find the vac line for the MAP sensor so I’ve got it hooked up to what I now know to be the fuel pressure reg vac line which brings me to my next question, the bloke I bought the motor...
