Hi all, I have searched the forum and found some info but I need some advice. My screen has developed a fault in my VF Evoke Wagon (2013). Advice in another post suggested: I have contacted a wrecker and they told me that the screen has to match my VIN. (See photo where the number is 9229...

Hi, Well after a bit of a break I am about to be back in a Commodore again *touch wood*. Bit of a step up getting a VE considering my last commodore was a VK... Anyway, I am looking to get proper log book servicing done on it but I want to keep the cost down. The vehicle will be under...

Hi all, Yesterday I picked up a 3.3 EFI motor and transmission (from VK) complete for $350 from a lovely chap who even trailered it over to my home for me! Engine was reco'd $30K ago and gear box is good so I just have to replace a few gaskets and clean her up and she will be in the car...

Hi, I am looking for a good motor for my VK. Good meaning one that has been reco'd within the last year or two. Ideally I would like a black with efi setup but a blue carby one would do. Also need a recently reco'd trimatic. I would prefer one in brisbane/goldcoast area if possible. Have the...

Hi all, Can anyone tell me if a Eurovox Radio Cassette deck from a VN commodore would be security coded? Kim

My VK Trimatic has a habit of changing up gears too quickly. Often it will wind out fine in first then change to second the go straight to 3rd. This will even occur going up slight hills. Would this be a vacuum problem or is it an indication that it needs a service? Kim

1. Don't use cheap speaker wire. That really thin cheap wire really drops off the sound quality at the speaker. It doesn't cost much to get good quality fine stranded dual core speaker cable. 2. Solder your connections. Crimping connectors can lead to poor connections and higher resistance...

Hi all, I wonder if anyone can help me? While the fan works fine the controls that direct the air around don't do anything and the air is not coming out of the dash anywhere. Are these controls vacuum operated or something? How can I get them to work? Kim

Hi all, Well it is finally done. I got my VK Wagon registered and on the road. The saga started with transplanting the black 202 with a 2nd hand blue 202. It took 10 days (yes 10!) to take the silly damn thing out and replace it. In that time the wife and I also replaced the front guards and a...

Hi all, I wonder if any of you who live near Logan in Qld feel like giving me a hand? I am of course happy to help you out in return. I have to change a motor in my VK but don't have the tools to do it and need someone to help with the heavy work. I need a block and tackle and a torque wrench...

VK Commodore Engine Info Black/Blue Motor Differences – General: As far as the carbie motors go the main difference is the black head has better porting and different underhead shaped valves. Later VH blue motors and black carby motors also had a air pump which blows air into the exhaust...

Hi all, I am about to put a blue motor electronic dizzy into my VK (carby model with EST). I heard a rumour that the power that feeds to the black dizzy may not be suitable for the blue dizzy (less than 12v or something). One guy claimed that the blue dizzy being put into his VK stopped it from...

Hi all, I want to have someone with a professional eye to look over a 3.3 head that I have and tell me what work should be done on it. This mystical person would end up quoting me a fair price (I am a poor man) and do the work. So is there anyone that you could recommend to do that for me? Kim

I am looking for an adapterplate that will allow me to fit my 2 barrel holley to the 2 barrel inlet manifold on my 3.3 black motor. Does anyone have one? Also, are there any issues with this swap? For instance do I need a longer accelerator cable? Kim If you want to sell me one then contact...

I get my VK today!! Yay! At last. Just thought I would share. Kim

Hi all, This is my first post on this forum. I have just bought a VK with a carburettored black 3.3 motor in it. While I have owned lots of holdens with red motors, blue and black motors are a bit of a mystery to me. The black motor in this VK has a couple of problems (sounds like the big end...
