im chasing book no 7 dealer service manual for a vn commodore ,, book on wiring and dash guages
or if someone can SCAN THE drawing even better
thanks David

ok think ill just have to get one and a aussie speed manifold and see how it all works ..
where did u get the snout extension from ?

now thats sweet how about a little more info on the build i have been looking at the terra blower setup not cheap thou, $5400
thought about a eaton M90 but have been told they wont fit in the engine bay with a injected throttle body ..

ok thanks Ken ..

now if you where doing a system for a Hr front end what would you put on it  ?
Hq stubs and a new commo system VX or similar ?
if im going to do it i may as well do it right .

hey there RB .. yeah that maybe the case and i guess that the answer I'm looking for is there much to be gained but changing from Hr to HQ or Vn .. although i wouldn't mind Vn stud pattern as I'm have a shortened diff from vn in progress ..

hi Ken, thanks for your reply your right actually it is a vh40 that i have ..
CRS are not supply drop splines atm ..
there is another mob doing them $750 a set .

i Guess in asking is the mod to commo VN brakes worth the effort as I'm not sure if they offer much better brake performance ..
would i be better off with HQ stubs cheap and give me 20 mm drop and then getting different brakes to suit that stub ?
or just stick with HR brakes and hack a little off the springs .. ? (not want i really want) .

hi guys im actually a EK owner but thought i pop over to this fantastic forum and ask a question im currently running a hr front end with hr disks and hq master with VH 44 booster ..

i was looking at doing a up grade in braking as i have a set of VN commo brakes i 1 st looked at drop axles to suit the HR front and commodore set up , as i also wanted to lower car slightly ..

but noticed that HQ stubs fit and give a 20 mm lower ride so was considering that as an option with a adapter to suit the VN discs and calipers ..

so my question is will this work and who supplies the adapter plates ? hoppers stoppers ?
id like to move up to commo stud pattern as well to suit the larger disc's
is there an off the shelf hub to fit HQ to VN ?

Thanks David

what the switch out of .. i thought commo had stalk switches ?

ha ha nos .. it sure was .. dead short a connection and i only take a few seconds to notice ..

hi Guys there is a new engineer in Geelong he say he has been in the game for 23 years and just relocated here .. his name is Russell Rohn any one hear of or used him in the past ?

David

Thanks Ed when u get the time its not a do or die, lots of other work to me done ..  almost burnt the shed down trying all sort of different wiring compo without luck .. he he  one of those rainy day jobs ..

Thanks Nos not the drag link i was looking for .. but it does make one wonder why you would have it book marked ? ..

hey johnno if your hr drag link is in good nice i would be interested in it .. mine is past reco .. so on the hunt for one .. ANY ONE have a good one ?

David

no one that i have found .. but when they do and im sure it would be simple for a auto electrian they will make a killing selling em .. lol

hi guys i have an ek but lurk around here getting idea etc i resently fitter a commo wiper motor to the EK but made a mounting bracket to fit it in side .. but have yet to work out the wiring found the slow fast terminals with out any problems but making it return to home is the next problem ..

anyone worked this one out .. im guessing one of the pins needs to be active all the time to make this happen ?

David

ah aint it a funny world guys like streetneat etc have to spend hugh $$ on the equipment but just take a drive past most yacht club and marine repairer and u will see them spraying all sorts of stuff .. wonder if it has the same effect that 2 pac does .. i suspect some of those anti fould agents they treat boats with would be a lot worse ..

D

one of the guys i spoke to about em made his out of a couple of cheap engine stands .. cost him 80 bucks each ..  i built mine out of a 8 mt lenght of 50 x 50 x 4mm steel .. ..

D

Ah Guys ya DOING
