Hey guys Ive recently purchased a 2007 VZ SS Ute with the L98 engine and 6sp manual. From my understanding the L98 engines only came out in the Thunders? The bloke i brought it from thought it was a Thunder as it has the L98, twin hump hardlid and larger front brake rotors. The only problem is...

Hey guys, My diff has started to whine terribly in my vs ute. It's still the factory diff with nearly 300,000 k on it. Still factory ratio but mini spooled so you get the picture why I'm not surprised it's on the way out. Some say it's worn out bearings and some say it's the gap between the...

I have 2 flex plates sitting here at home. 1 is from my l67 engine and the other off a ecotoec. I need to use the l67 flexplate to get my flywheel balanced. Does anyone have the part number for the l67 flex plate?? Im not sure wich ones wich haha :) thanks guys

I have a vr solid flywheel. If I get this re balanced can I use it on my vs getrag box behind a l67 motor. I no the crank bolt pattern is the same but what about the spline length and so on with the different boxes. Cheers

Has anyone done this before? Im looking to swap my getrag to a t5 shortly and would like to keep my current hydraulic setup rather then sourcing a clutch cable and new pedal box. I've seen a few photos on here but no info on how to do it. Is it a matter of just making a bracket and mounting the...
