    What did you do to your VR/VS today?

    Swapped over the coil (what an awkward job that is!) and the beast still didn't fire into life - although it appeared to spark once then stop. Figured it was to do with either the distributor or the ignition module, but after playing with the cable into the module, it started up good as gold...

    What did you do to your VR/VS today?

    Went to start the VS SS on Monday - no fire in the belly of the beast! It happened once before, but swapping around the relays brought it back to life. Having a read about it, the general consensus is that if there are misfiring issues or other issues prior to it failing then it is something...

    [General] [VR/VS/VT/VX/VY/VZ] Everything to know about ALDL Diagnostic Cables

    What would be ideal is if the software had the option for you to deactivate the license prior to uninstalling/rebuilding your PC then you could activate it again on the new build. I had the issue where my key didnt work from the get go, email to the supplier and it got sorted though which was...

    Fuel tank breather lines.

    Thanks guys, I suspect I am wrong regarding the SS being series 2 based on the PDF and what is setup on the V6 Exec (definately Series 2) I am going to drop the tank on the SS this weekend and see what i can see. I understand it is a pain in the butt though, one of the threads talked about...

    What did you do to your VR/VS today?

    Put to use the long evenings of lockdown here in NZ and made an effort to detail the engine bay of the SS

    Fuel tank breather lines.

    Going to resurrect this thread to see if i chance it that someone has the same setup and can provide a photo or two to confirm how the lines run. I have two series 2 VS Commodores, one the V6 Executive, and the other a V8 SS. The fuel vapor return lines on the SS have perished (the shitty...

    fan/blower not working - tried everything!

    Yeah, if memory serves me right, you drop the glove box. Then there is a black plastic cover that will need to be removed next. I can't remember if you need to take off any of the surround around the stereo etc, but it's not too bad if you just follow your nose. Once you see the bottom of the...

    fan/blower not working - tried everything!

    I recently had the issue where my VS SS fan wasn't working (not working from when i brought it) and i ended up having to replace the entire fan. You can get to the plug for the fan motor from behind the glove box, i tested it with a multi meter and confirmed that power was getting to the fan...

    What did you do to your VR/VS today?

    Finally got around to fitting an oil catch can i brought ages ago. Umm'ed and ah'ed about installing it for a while, but after having a look down the throat of the beast and seeing the oil'y mess on the sides figured it would be only a good thing. Followed info found here, and only plumbed it...

    How TO replace the blower fan motor VS

    So, nearly a year on from this post I have finally sorted the issue out. Late last year, i got hold of a guy who was wrecking a VS and allowed me to come down and pull the blower motor from the car. I removed the whole dash and what a pain! so many cables are tucked up and so many steps - so I...

    Ask the IT Network Engineer

    Having a look at the unit's operation manual (https://www.uniden.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2017/06/GDVR_4T40_8T40_8T80_OM.pdf) It looks like you can use an app on Android or iOS to access the device, so based on that i would say you should be able to access a web console of sorts from a local...

    Advanced Engine Diagnostics help

    Hey, sorry for the delay, i had a **** of a day yesterday and didnt get out to grab the logs for you. I have recorded two sets of logs via AED and saved them here: https://drive.google.com/open?id=1InCm14Yb9wF2XoImy7KC4PhgOgH0Lg_T You can replay them through your copy of AED and see what is...

    Advanced Engine Diagnostics help

    My SS had an issue a few months back while the wife was driving it where she said the CEL came on then turned off again. I drove it around but couldn't get it to fault (even ran it with AED running to try catch what was happening). Shortly after that, i found there was a leak in the intake...

    Losh's VR Ute build thread

    Loving the regular updates on this thread, you are like the energizer bunny of posting and working on the VR! I am happy to get photos of my VS V6 if you need to reference anything against yours
