    VE Torana

    Well have been a member of this forum for a fair while and and have seen a few good conversions/write-ups posted on this page.. most notably IJ's one tonner AWD and Lexcen AWD... so thought it might be time to post some stuff up about a project i have undertaken...

    life started as a 6cyl LH Torana... and will under go a transformation which may not be to all's taste.. it will be a true conversion with alot of mechanical changes along with electrical... wont be your run of the mill parts swap from one shell to another








    the engine of choice




    car stipped down to find a multitude of sins

    Only problem I can see is getting a decent "wires guy" to put it all together & make it work

    You are certainly using some top shelf parts in this Justin!

    Should be an amazing car when it's done.

    Re: VE Torana

    I might suggest using Sideshow for the wiring.
    Never dealt with them but have heard that they are not too bad.
    Tell them you are a member of the forum and they might look after you on price.

    Wiring is all sorted guys - I know Justin from Prowire - this would be past him... (but one of the best auto elecs with the Milspec stuff!!!!) and Sideshows - Jim is my mate and i used to work with him - I will be using Ultimate Conversion Wiring - as that's my Business (pretty sure Micks was taking the piss so i was falling suit)


    there is a lot of CAN/LScan stuff in this car along with module programming and tricking to get what i want done... the more i post in this thread it will become more clear to you all.

    Re: VE Torana

    Hey Justin,

    have you chosen a colour for it yet?

    Will this be engineered as a street driven car , a track car or a show or promotion car?
