    LE0 and 4SP Auto -> LY7 and 6SP Manual

    Yes, the LY7 also has the Intake runner valve, but it's part of the engine loom. If the matching loom is used to suit the engine, it's just an ecu reflash. Body modules, and dash loom are the same. only need for a dash loom change, is if it was going to be 5 speed auto swapped, and he wanted to...

    LEO 10HBA-H or LEO HBH-H

    They are, but you need the engine loom that comes with the new motor, and the ECU needs reflashing to suit. The cam phasers and sensors are different, so if you dont get the ecu reflashed, the car won't start. HBA is 2004-2005. HBH is 2006

    LE0 and 4SP Auto -> LY7 and 6SP Manual

    People do it all the time. You just need to make sure you get the engine loom that matches the new engine, because the cam sensors could be different depending on year. Then you just need your ecu reflashed to ly7/manual, happy days. No body mods needed, just add clutch pedal, and use a...

    Running a motor out of the car?

    Got a second hand motor to put in my vr v6, but I want to make sure it runs well before I muck around swapping it over. I've got a full engine loom, and a body loom too, but I just want to know the easiest way to make it run without being fully wired in a car. Any help?

    I just cut a hole in the dash panel where those plugs sit, then wired it while it was still in the car

    What donor parts are needed for LS2 swap?

    So, I've lined up a vz ss ute with a 6 litre and a t56 in it. Down the track I want the motor and box to make its way into my vr. I wanna wreck the rest of the car asap, as it was tboned on the passenger side. Just wondering if anyone knows all the parts I need to keep for my conversion? I'm...

    Vs clutch cable damper

    When I first did my conversion, I didn't have a damper, so while I waited for one to get, I just put vice grips on the cable, where the damper would go, to stop it pulling through the firewall. Rattled a bit, but did the job

    VR manual conversion problem - cuts out

    Sorry about the thread dig, but mine is pretty much the same, vr swapped, with vr ecu, but the loom might be vn/vp. Cuts out too. Where's the best place to get a tune done?

    Vr clutch cable/pedal box

    Ive got it wound all the way out, I ended up pulling it back out through the firewall and clamping it out, so at least it's drivable until I order a new one. Cable must be stretched.

    Vr clutch cable/pedal box

    Hey lads, just putting the finishing touches on my manual conversion, hit a stumbling block. I put the pedal box in before I did the trans swap, and everything seemed fine. Yesterday I got the t5 in, and got it all back together. Hooked up the clutch cable, and the pedal is sitting on the floor...

    How to install Power Windows

    Hey lads, here's a doozy, got a main window loom, the rear door plugs have three pins. Got the door looms from another donor, rear door plugs have four pins. They aren't even close to the same plug. What has happened, and how can I fix it?

    VR Drivers seat belt won't extend

    So I've checked everywhere for this, closest I found was for a vt. Tried what it said, hasn't worked. So, I'm running wiring for electric windows, decide to unbolt the seat belt retractor for easier access. It was obviously a bad idea, but I lifted it up out of the way, and it's retracted...

    VS Clubsport Body kits.

    That's so weird. There's a 20mm gap between the drivers side pieces, I'll fix it with body filler probably, the passenger side though, I don't know what to do, they don't even touch. :/

    VS Clubsport Body kits.

    Sorry for digging this thread up, just looking around for any info on why my genuine vr senator skirts seem too short for my vr. I know it's genuine, it came from a friend and has all of the stamps and branding.

    On the level 3 cluster hold mode and set buttons before you turn the key to ignition, and hold until it's started.

    Painting with premixed paint

    I did mine with the pre mix cans, it is a slightly different shade, yes, but on a sunny day, you can't tell. My only issue is with the cost of the cans, to get my whole kit done, it cost me $300 for the mixed cans, and the coats aren't quite thick enough. It starts to peel in random spots, and...

    My auto VS wagon makes a bad shuddering noise at around 80ks

    I've got the same in my vr. I always assumed it was unis, never got around d to replacing them. But I did just get told by my tyre fitter that apparently my diff has lateral movement, so that won't be helping either.

    How much petrol will i need :)

    My vr has about the same economy in the city. But highways I get about 8l/100km, driving to work I get about 9.5l/100km. $75 normally gets me just shy of 600km when driving to work and back, which is through two towns across 40km each way. And I don't take it easy. And on 98 fuel. Your 300k's...

    VR wont shift to 4th????

    I'd love to know what's causing it, mine only started doing it after I pulled a trailer, and used the power button. I'm guessing that might have something to do with it. Lucky I've got a manual conversion in the works...

    visual differences between t5 and getrag?

    Hey guys, I recently bought a vn manual for a slab (I know right, I didn't think it happened anymore either). He said it has a special 5 speed from a vs. Now I only bought it to put it in my vr, so to get the right conversion parts, I need to know which gearbox it is. What are the visual...

    bonnet jammed half open.

    Alright guys, here's the problem: I was fitting a new steering wheel in my VR 3.8 auto. Naturally, I pulled the bonnet open, removed the fusebox cover, and pulled the horn fuse. Later that night, in the dark, I noticed it was about to rain, so I went to close the bonnet. Some idiot tried to slam...

    Need a level 3 patch loom!

    So lads, this is my first thread, and I didn't want it to be, I've been looking for a relevant thread for months. Anyway, the level 2 dash in my VR Executive has had broken contact points for as long as I've had it. So obviously, no fuel or water temp without a solid whack on the dash. I'm over...
