vk commodore

Hey guys, Looking for some advice here. I have a VK which I have put an LS1 into using the Castlemaine conversion kit. VN v8 subframe. I have what I believe is a VL power steering rack in there but as you can see it is fouling on the headers. Any suggestions about where I may have gone wrong...

How do you rap the cable around the pulleys on the right hand rear to make the window go up and down on a VK vacationer thanks.

Another VK Commodore bites the dust. This time it's my 308 VK Vacationer Wagon which the WA Police took a disliking to. Yeah, it was getting on in years I must admit, and due for retirement pretty soon. Looks like a forced retirement for the old girl now. Took the license plates back to...

Hi all, this is probably not your average conversion. I have a vk commodore that I am converting to electric. I would like to maintain as much of the current components on the car as possible. I have a few questions that I would help with more will follow.... 1. Has anyone ever removed the...

Hi All, Just wondering if anyone knows whether any of the models from VB through to VL came out with a black interior? Or moreso black seats? I ask this as I'm looking at buying some seats and they seems to be the same velour material that was in a vl executive but black. And they are...

I have been getting some work done to quell the rust and leaks in my VK's boot. While she’s been out of action I’ve decided to finally look into fitting a stock tacho in favour of the infamous vacuum gauge! I took the cluster out and have had it re-conditioned (looks near new!). The new...

Got a question for you all, Planning to put a V8 into my VK and stroke it out to a 355 with a nice carby setup. My question is would I be better off using a black motor block that came stock with the VK/VL or using a later model VN+ EFI motor and putting old school heads on it to run a carby...

I know there is heaps of threads out there that cover the fitting up AU thermo fans but for the life of me I cannot find a wiring diagram that shows simply how to wire them up. I'm not using a temp switch or anything, I just want them to run when the ignition is on and turn off when the ignition...

Hey Guys, I've just fit a VT Twin Piston upgrade onto my VK Commodore and now I'm almost ready to setup the booster, I have a VS Master and Booster but I've heard that the VT master is a much better option. What I would like to know is there really that much of a difference between the VS and...

Hi Everybody, I have noticed in a lot of magazines, on VK/VH show cars that they have no washer/overflow bottles in the engine bay (well none that I can see anyway). Just wondering if anyone has managed to hide there bottles? If so can anyone tell me where as I am keen to do it myself. Cheers

When I press down on the steering wheel the horn won't work. I'm not sure what it is. I recently degreased the engine and washed it off with water which caused problems with the idle solenoid but that is all good now. Could it be an issue of water in the electrics? btw. its a vc commodore but...

Hi all, Thinking of upgrading the front brakes on my VK to VT twin piston calipers and rotors as I have heard they have the best stopping power. What I'm wondering is will the calipers bolt straight on to where my existing ones do, or do they need modifying? I'm aware that i need to get hub...

Ok, so I've read a few different things about the VK EFI motor on the net in regards to cams. Some people say you can some people say you can't. Basically I just want to know whether I can run a performance cam in my VK EFI, looking at going for a stage two? By the way it's an auto if that...

Hi all, Looking to convert my 6 cylinder VK from the EFI to carby running a cam, big valves with roller rockers and was thinking of leaving the electronic fuel pump but was unsure if it would work properly or not as I have heard they are pretty touchy with the V8's so was unsure about the 6...

Just wondering if anybody knows if the VK 6 Cylinder carby engine wiring is the same as the V8? If anybody has a pic of the wiring for the 6 cylinder carby model that would be extremely helpful.... Cheers
