So ive just pulled the v6 out of my vn wagon & replaced it with a vr ss 304 & auto, got it to the start stage when i realised the black plug on the back of the dizzy was broken so i went ahead & bought a brand new dizzy rotor cap & leads. Have fitted all that in & went to start & no joy...

Ended up with a Vt wagon that had obviously been put in a ditch, front lower radiator supports had a knock which set the air bags off. This wagon was bought in for wrecking but was way to tidy to do so so i pulled the dash & replaced the airbags plus the airbag sensor under the center console...

Just bought an old vn wagon as a fixer upper, blown trans so i was told. I wasnt convinced but checked it out & couldn't see any other issues so i dropped the trans & fitted another one. Thought something was fishy when i bolted the torque converter up as it had to come forward to do so...

So just got this Vr wagon as part of a deal road legal & all, was told the crank angle sensor was stuffed. Drive for 10 or 20 minutes shed die then the previous owner would cool it off with water & it would fire up, brand new sensor supplies with it. So i fitted the new crank angle sensor &...

So couldnt help myself, another Vc wagon turned up on auction over here so i watched it for a few weeks & watched the asking price drop & drop. I ended up snapping it up for $250, the owner had left it at her friends farm when she went away to work elsewhere & ended up passing away from cancer...

Thought i might as well throw up a thread on my Vn Wagon - Had it for about 8 months now, found it sitting on a guys front lawn where it'd sat for 2 years after he got a company car. Cost me a fair whack of coin as the guy didnt want to part with it but i was determined lol. Being a 6 seater...

Just bought a tidy Vr ute cheap, now it has some issues someone might no the answer to. The guy i bought it off replaced the engine in it with a low k'd one, as he said he had no clue what he was doing but he got it in there. Now he said the transmission in it was mint before he changed the...

Thought i'd share this early girl i picked up last night, found it a few months ago & put a mate onto it. Had the 3.3 rebuilt 9 years earlier then put in a barn till we heard about it, my mate decided to do a vh instead of pulling this 1 apart & changing everything on it so i jumped at the...

This is probably simple as i hope anyways - so i bought a vx cheap as with a stuffed engine, bought a second had ecotec that was sposed to be out of a vx but i'm dead sure its a vs one. So anyways i've chucked it in the hole & the only thing not connected is this Now at present you hit the key...

Might be a stupid question but as i havent worked on any of this Abs stuff before i thought i better ask, got a Vr berlina wagon here i'm wrecking out. Now i'm going to put the diff into the Vc Wagon i have just wondering about all this abs stuff can i bin it - probably should of jacked it up &...

Got a strange one here - she over heated on me a week ago so i thought typical ecotech & blown a head gasket, checked her out & found a stuck open thermostat. Replaced that & went for a good run & she was all good, even sat idling in the KFC drive through for 30 minutes with no issue. So i...

Just had a mate call in who bought what he was lead to believe was a factory SS Vh, it sure isnt but the saving grace is it's a BT1. Just wondering how many were made in New Zealand & if anyone has any pics of these cars, my mate want's to put it back to stock now noing what he's got. At pres...

Thought i'd chuck a thread up on this, yes i no it's a wagon but that's me a true wagon nut lol. This is the 3rd one i currently own..... There's a bit of a funny story with this, a guy bought it a couple of years ago to put in the demo derby. There was a wiring fault at the coil which is how...

Just wondering if anyone's got any info on these, just bought one for my Father. It's a Nz only model with a V6, quite interesting in my thought is the fact it's got the IRS & ABS Brakes. The 1 we got is a 1993 Model, needs a bit of a tidy but that will get sorted pretty quickly. Just wondering...

Just wondering if anyone's done it, i no the Vl's glued in & the Vc's held in by a rubber. Just trying to sort a solution on my conversion, modify the dash or if this would work then would be problem solved..... Cheers if you can shed any light on this:thumbsup:

Hi All.....I bet there's a thread on here about this but i haven't found out, anyway's are the Vs Berlina heater controls prone to faults? Mine work's when it feel's like it, if your lucky it might go straight away but more often than not will take 10 to 20 minutes of driving before it kicks in...

Picked this up 2 weeks ago for a daily, sold a Vl wagon i had that i wasn't happy with & picked this up on an online auction over here for less than i sold the dodgy old Vl for so i was rapt. Was a few crappy pictures of this on the auction so i took the gamble & came out on tops.... Bought it...

Picked this up last week for $1200, 3.0 auto. Needed two small jobs done to be road legal which took me all of half an hour to sort. A high beam bulb and a bottom ball joint which i had sitting here in me spares. Just got to resist the temptation of doing any thing to it till the Vc is back on...

Just bought this last week, it had a non stop gurgling in the tank. Think it was caused by the return feed in the tank being blocked, ran sweet apart from that. Bit of hesitation on take off other wise no problems, had a spare tank here in a wreck i drove home bout 6 weeks ago so i new it was...

Don't think you guys over the ditch get this model, its not the nicest looking but a handy we wagon and bloody reliable. It's a 1500cc power house lol. Had it for about 18 months now & apart from oil changes i haven't had to do anything to it, put a decent sound system in it when i bought it...
