this probably been asked before or not but whats involved in swapping a v6 and auto out of a vn with a v8 and auto out of a vn as well?
is it as simple as taking out the v6 and putting in the v8 and swapping the v6 loom with the v8 one? or is there a heap of rewiring to do?

shouldnt b to hard mate the harness n engine obvuosly should plug straight in unsure of the subframe tho

aah didn't think about the cross member, hope ya don't have to change it

[vrbrad]

[Murph]

Yeah, you'll have to change the k frame, and the gearbox mount is different too i think. also need a different radiator, and a v8 chip for the ecu

K frames don't cost that much do they?

[vrbrad]

shouldnt b to much do u have a tacho if so u will need to change it or mod it

[patch]

yeah it got a tacho in it

[vrbrad]

if u decide to continue with the conversion i can mod it if u want its a cheaper way out i converted mi commi to a stage 3 clustet but it was out of a 6 just gotta swap a few diodes around

[patch]

ok would it be easier to put a dash cluster out of a v8 and replace it with the one out of the v6?

[vrbrad]

[Asho]

Prices vns go for these days you could probably find a decent one on the mainland for a similar cost

[patch]

yeah you would be right but then i have to pay for air fairs and for the boat home, just to much of a pain for me
