So I thought I'd start this thread to share standard tools, resources, stores, and wiring techniques for auto electrical as a lot of Commodore looms are now at the point where plugs and pins need to be replaced or the loom itself is just degrading or cracking, largely after reading this thread...

So basically I'm trying to gather some info on the clutch and flywheel differences. There is a plentiful amount of VN-VR T5 bits and pieces, but the VS T5 flywheel is becoming a rare item. Many aftermarket Getrag clutch kits come with a solid replacement flywheel, but are the solid flywheels...

Hi all, Basically what's happening at the moment is that I have a car with some battery drain. It destroys batteries, to the point where they won't create a circuit when you put them on a charger (maybe my charger isn't powerful enough or something). Anyway, I was wondering if anybody has...

Hi all, So I picked up this really half assed manual conversion ages and ages ago, I've started to tidy it up till I work out what I'm gonna do with it. Anyway, the tailshaft he threw in seems absolutely huge, seems way to big to be a VN-VS one. From a few pictures I've seen, it looks to be a...

Does anybody know if a VN/VP T5 crossmember will bolt into a VS? Or will there be issues?

Can anybody tell me if the Auto and T5 crossmembers are different or the same?

Ok, so I've stumbled across a T5 manual conversion. The guy says that the ECU is an auto ECU which has led me to believe that this might be a bitsa conversion kit. My question is, if the flywheel is off a 3800 (non ecotec), what will I need to do to make sure that it works as it's supposed to...

So we ran into a snag trying to put a set of Genie extractors on a 5 litre VP Calais, apparently this set doesn't fit Commodores with a variable speed rack. Is it a problem if we just slap a regular power steering rack in? Is there anything that has to be modified for this to be so? The rack...

Interesting find of a site - That Will Buff Out It's in the same group of sites as Fail Blog - http://failblog.org/ - and There, I Fixed It - http://thereifixedit.com

So after seeing this post - http://forums.justcommodores.com.au/pub/76270-ebay-lolz-thread-38.html#post1503546 And having a good laugh at this thread on another car forum- selling your car and crazy low balling buyers stories - Hardtuned.net I was wondering if any of you have had any crazy...

Anybody had any dealing with this company and can vouch for their work? Tossing up whether or not to buy this set of extractors from them. Dumper King & Exhaust

Hey there, I've had a bit of a search around for checking the error codes on a 5 litre VP, but I can only find the list of codes. Can anybody tell me how to (or link me to) a place that outlines checking the error codes? Thanks heaps.

When a VP 5 litre hits the rev limiter, is it possible to tune it in such a way as to have the ECU cut the spark as opposed to cut the fuel supply? Or is this not possible because of the dizzy setup?

Ok, so my mate with the VP is looking at a minispool now. I've had a bit of a search around and came up with the diff thread - http://forums.justcommodores.com.au/v6-development-modification/71234-diff-all-you-need-know.html Now, this says all the diff gears and centres from VN-VT1 will be a...

I parked the car at the shops yesterday and realised I had overshot the end of the car park, so I reversed it back and there was a small pool of coolant on the ground. Pop the bonnet, the top radiator hose is coming off, so I try to jam it back on, but it pops off (and sprays me with coolant)...

So, this thread is obviously shamelessly targeted at either Greenfoam or Delco. ;) Anyhow, a few months ago a mate of mine picked up a 5 litre VP Calais with the intention of parting it out and putting the motor in his HZ, except that the VP was too good to part out and he ended up keeping it...

Hey there, Some time this week somebody broke into my garage and swiped a couple of things, among them my HSV socket set. Anyway, insurance company is being a pain in the ass and wants me to prove that I own them, bit of a pain really cause my Father gave them to me last year. But it got...

Hey there, Just wondering if there was any difference between the V6 T5 and Getrag ECU's? Thanks heaps.

Hey there, I'm dabbling with the thought of putting spotlights on my VS. The bezzels are easy enough to find, but from what I understand and have seen, the spotties themselves are extremely expensive and are difficult to locate. I was just wondering if anybody has done this with...

Hey there, So I just went out and got a couple of new idler pulleys and a new belt from Repco, all the pulleys are the same size as the old ones, but the tensioner arm needs to be fully retracted to put the belt one (so the little arrow on the side is not on the markers any more). I know...

Hey there, Just saw the other power window question, so I thought it was time to ask. A few months ago, I tried to put my drivers side (power) window up. Anyway, it was really struggling, then all of a sudden there was this loud snap, and the window then fell through the door. When I took the...

Hey there, A mate of mine recently picked up a '91 5.0l Calais with a busted steering rack. He picked up a rack from the wreckers that came from a VQ Statesman and has installed it, but the alignment on it is completely out of whack (he hasn't attempted any re-alignment yet). I just wanted to...

Well, my drivers side regulator has died and it's time to replace it. What are other peoples experiences with aftermarket power window regulators.

Does anybody know how to identify if I have a deep pan 4l60e? I'm sure this has been covered a heap before, but I couldn't find anything. I went to holden to pick up a filter kit, and as soon as he told me the price ($89 or something) he also told me that if he had the VIN, he would be able...

Hey there, Me and a mate have come across a wrecked VS 5.0L ute. He wants the engine and the transmission for his HZ, and I want all the other parts and electronic 5.0L tidbits that he can't use. I was just wondering if the memcal and ECU are compatible for both manual and auto 5.0s like on...
