For info ive been told that a r33 alternator will fit only need to change connector. Also do you have any pics of the gaurds off showing how the wiring runs there, i.e what stops the wiring from dropping onto the tyre etc.

LS1vycal : PM sent NTMID 8: theres a couple of alternators from other cars that just needs slight modification to fit into a VL, diffrence is brand new alternators can go up to $300-$350, and obviously the amps play a roll aswell. I can put pics up with guards off, but wat holds the wiring is pretty much clamps onto the body.

I understand what your saying about the r33 alt, just thought being 90 amp factory you could modify as you have done to the vl one and get around the 140amp mark. Anyways if you do have pics of how the wiring is held and where it comes through i would appreciate it as im considering getting it done on my car, just would like to see where you cut and hold etc.

G'day Stef, hows things mate? Sold my other VN about a month ago, driving a white '91 VN SS now, rapt-as having a 5ltr again lol. just giving you some early notice, but I'll be contacting you in the next month or so to organize having the tacho and SS driving lights wired up, maybe an engine bay tidy up aswell. Cheers mate, hope alls well. Matt

Thanx for the feedback guys...

For the DIY looms im gonna have the looms in stages of how much hidden wiring the customer wants, and also will be able to make tailor made looms for individual customers that have aftermarket ECU's, aslong as im provided with the correct details of what ill be wiring up. The hidden wiring will be ran throw the guards, so like i said basic skills will be needed by either yourself or even if you know mates that do, from the top of my head im talking things like, removing guards, removing old body loom and re-fitting new loom, drill holes with hole-saw. JAKUL8: PM sent mate.....

DIY is a wicked idea. where does all the washer bottles etc go when u do this kind of job, are they easily accesiable?? great work mate

how much will a diy job cost for most of the wires hidden? grate idea

kidmavric: Washer bottles comes down to what the owner wants, either keep the factory ones, or get rid of them, and put in an aftermarket type were they can be hidden also. vlt88wa: Once i finish up mocking up the orginal loom and work out what parts etc cost, ill put up a price of how much it will cost in total. Stay tuned.

hey mate were do you put the ignition modual on the vn-vs 5ltrs

theres no real set place were to put it, its personal choice, usually under the dashboard, away from the engine bay.

dont spose u trip over to w.a lol, how much would i roughly be looking at to get sum 1 to hide all my engine bay wiring??

how much to replace the whole engine wiring loom for a vlt. the loom is out of the car, jus want it all replaced. new wires/connectors. thanks

Quote: Originally Posted by vl_comm how much to replace the whole engine wiring loom for a vlt. the loom is out of the car, jus want it all replaced. new wires/connectors. thanks It wont be worth replacing the whole engine loom, as there will be parts of the loom that will still be in good condition, best way of doing it is change all connectors and plugs, strip the whole loom and replace whatever is needed. Best way is for me to have a look at it first to see the condition of it.

hey mate im in the process of buiding/stripping my vlct atm i got the manifolds n stuff all off the engine so practically all the loom is all disconnected etc. im looking at hiding all my wiring in the engine bay. headlights etc. except for the engine loom because a microtech is going in later on. the battery relocated to the boot. practically i just wont it all hidden n neatened up so i can smooth the bay and get it painted. and do you have a work shop or do you do your work onsite? feel free to pm. thank you
