A used getrag is more than a motor how’s that a relief haha

You should make a video on getting that old hilux going people will love that!

That’s an auto cluster

Hows she sit at say 110ks on the hwy. my vy has a 346 in it and i hate it in the hwy she sits at like 2700 rpm 346 came in manual v6 aswell. In my manual vz it was a 3.08. Im about to but a 3.08 in my vy ute as its going to be a tow camp car. And i have 2.87 in my vz v6 manual wagon. I find the 3.08 is a good alrounder for daily drives. 346/411 skid cars hahah

I have a 2002 model VY SS Commodore which I bought 17 years ago this year & yes it's a V8 one, it has done 402,500 kilometres now & I want to fit a rebuilt diff & replace the clutch likely on the Easter & Anzac Day holidays &; long weekends, the clutch just has a shudder when I release the clutch when the engine is hot & it's not the rear transmission mount which is causing it, it only does it when the engine is thoroughly warmed up. The diff has a bit of a clunk & whine in it at 60 km/h & it leaks a bit of diff oil now, I have a spare 3.07:1 ratio Dana M80 diff out of a VZ Commodore which is a single spinner,I will change it over to the 3.91:1 ratio & fit a torque lock diff centre as well. 280,000 kilometres is nothing for even the 3.8 litre Buick L36 Ecotec V6 engine because my dad replaced his in his 2000 model Holden VX Commodore in 2017 because he thought that it would be cheaper & easier than just getting an exchange set of cylinder heads for it because he ran it on LPG & the exhaust valve seats receded. He was worried that the engine might go at 380,000 kilometres & yet the VX is sitting under a car port doing nothing because he's driving his Holden Colorado everywhere. My point is he changed the oil & filter once every 5000 kilometres & the engine didn't blow smoke, the replacement engine was out of a 2004 model VY Commodore & he decided to replace the 4L60E transmission with one out of one of them as well because he thought that it might go as well. I certainly prefer driving the SS Commodore because it has more power particularly with the twin 2.5 inch cat back exhaust system, high flow cats (200 cpi) & 1 5/8" primary mandrel bent Genie exhaust headers as well as a tune. I had some press bent Custom headers which made them 1 1/2" primaries instead of 1 5/8" so the Genie headers has given the LS1 V8 engine a power band which comes in in the mid RPM range up to redline which is what that engine didn't have before with the Old exhaust headers !

You seemed relieved to hear it’s the gearbox that’s broken, I’m not sure about prices on motors/box’s where you are but near me motors are much cheaper than getrags here!

Worth mentioning that is not the orignal spac cluster and it’s got auto prnd321 so who knows how many ks

I’d be a tad less splashy with the brake fluid on the nice bay paint 😂 lovely HZ a good friend of ours has the Monaro HZ 2dr here in Perth absolutely gorgeous

Subbed Perth 👌🏻

Looks like your mate was living in it. His housekeeping is suss.Looks like he Flogged fk out of that thing.

Love seeing abandoned car restorations

i'd buy it and restore it. If you have any more mates with dead commodores that have been sitting in fields for ages please let me know. I like flipping cars and fixing cars that would otherwise go to the wreckers

Mmm delicious steering wheel rubber 😅

Man I love those hiluxs

If that still has xforce tips that’s my old exhaust haha, sounded gross

Would love to see this weapon restored haha (if it’s worth it lol). Not many manual vy spacs still left. Would be a cool project

good to see there’s still people out there saving them from being abandoned

Looked a bit of fun mate. Enjoyed your breakdown of what was going on with the ol girl from first glance to getting it moving. I love how the commodores are just so simple really. Its good thing you turned the light switch off so as not to drain the battery you funny bugger 😂. Look forward to seeing more vids about this vy. Cheers 👍

pretty mint for an abandoned car legit had everything there

Hi can i get measurements for the airbox please

thanks pal these videos will come valuable to many for years to come

Just stumbled on your videos mate love them keep them up i just brought the M8O Eaton Truetrac & Motive 3.7 Diff Gear Set for my 03 VY SS

Good stuff. Methodical approach to get this car to tip top shape.

Love the FG series but would avoid the early ones ( 2008 -2009) as not as refined, prone to misc mechanical issues and an ordinary 5 SPD auto.

Great video! Hope to see you in Summernats!😂

Love your vid mate

You got a video of the replacement off the alternator pls

Happy New Year Dave and Cassar Industries team, what a year!! 🎉

Cheers for New Years 👍 I'm sure ol mate with be happy with a very reliable ecotec in the wh. Mines on 295k and needs some attention, valley gasket, but many more km left in it for sure. Cheers again and thanks for sharing your work 👍

Ok cause I was already manual an it was spot on on the auto cluster as I had to replace the cluster a now. I’ve just swapped to a 3.46:1 an it’s out about 15k’s Love watching ur vids always interesting an I learn a lot from them

Would this be the same ppk for a manual running the same gears

What a great video. Love the FG, I have a mk2 myself. The Barra motors are such a smooth motor.

Hi Dave. Does he run a catch can? Currently stripping down my own 1KZTE to clean out inlet manifold. Scraped out a fair amount of gunk. Hopeful for some improved economy and hill climbing. New glow plugs, injectors and air filter too. If this gives a noticeable gain exhaust will be next.

Still cant believe that the tire popped on our second lap haha

Love me a 5.0

Hey mate, which are the spark plugs you were changing? I wanna do mine but can’t seem to find them. Do you also change the coil packs?

Sounds tough now. What a gorgeous car!

Nice video!

Hey man do you know where I can get the centre bearing carrier from? I cant find one for mine?

do you have any links to the products you used?

hey mate i have a vy Commodore with a lpg tank aswell is there any special precaution you need to do when removing the lpg gas filler?

Right...full race cams... let's start this fucker... And tell the the gear box zf to do a burnout and hit second smoking the lsd

what are your roof rails off and wing? are they after market or of a vz berlina just wondering

Hey man any chance yuk can do a video on how you made your headlight?

Man good too see no fkn around, no bs videos on the commodore's. Your shop would be worth every cent to send your car too mate. Good stuff 👍
