Im only making 240kw not sure on the future of the car though a cam could go in later down the track. So im making sweet buggeral power. I found a second price for a truetrac. $400 bearing and seal kit. $400 labour. $1700 for the truetrac. Total $2500nzd thats $1000 cheaper then i got quoted...

I got to have a diff that i can thrash the tits off it and do burnouts in, thats why i bought it

Talked to a diff specialist and they told me its common with the ve diff the lsd wears out and then it stops supporting the axle properly and the axle doesnt sit centred on the seal and causes it to leak. Said the ve diffs are garbage said i could get a new factory one for $2000 and destroy that...

Ive done a couple burnouts in it nothing major amd havnt done a burnout between now and since the seals were last changed. I just got a email back from a diff specialist and he said its common and the cause is from a worn lsd creating shaft movement which causes the seals to leak and he normally...

Yea im pretty sure they will warrenty it ive been pretty loyal to them ive had all my work done there. Was just wanting to see if you guys knew of a factory fault that was causing this issue before letting these guys rip my diff to bits again.

Hey guys I just had my car in for a service at my local holden dealer and they noticed the left hand seal in the diff is leaking. They replaced it 12 months ago it was leaking and ive only done 5000ks in that time seems crazy to be leaking again there must be something wrong. I found a little...

How much power did it make

My car did same thing had no aircon belt on it when i bought it then i figured why... it just spat the belt off straight away. Mine was fixed under warranty cost me nothing for genuine upgrade from holden. The bracket with double tensioner was $1000 for genuine one lucky i didnt have to pay for...

Yea i noticed a 7mm socket fit on it but wasnt to keen on risking stripping it will give it a go this weekend cheers mate

Hey i went to try clean my wheel speed sensors yesterday. I unplugged wiring and cleaned the contacts but i couldnt get the wheel speed sensors out as it had a special torx head bolt holding them in and i dont have a female torx bits. cleaning contacts didnt solve the issue for me i still have...

Mines a auto and from what i understand you can only go so far with the factory stall. I dont want to be running into that kind of stuff have to keep it streetable as possible. Yes hes a very knowledgeable guy. There is nowhere else in the south island id take my car to. Whats the economy...

Wow thats quite impressive when you put it like that and its no wonder really where the pod style intakes suck from the factory location there is no way for fresh air to flow into it, i really would of thought holden would of put a duct next to the fog light in the honeycomb leading up to the...

Would you say it should be more leaner why do you think hes done it to make it safer? He specializes in these cars he mentioned something about the weather being stinking hot and hes compensated for when the temps drop and it gets cold would that be why its got that afr in top end

Yes that definitely makes sense really is a no brainer to go to otr then as its so short it hardly has time to heat up and surely once the cars moving even at say 20kph surely the intake temp starts dropping quite alot has anybody watched this on a laptop is it possible to watch it in real time

What do you think about your cam is yours auto or manual. He seems really good to deal with. What did your cam install cost he quoted me $3000 for cam,springs,pushrods,install and retune. And just quoted me $250 for touchup retune after fitting otr but im unsure if spending $850 for otr and...

In theory then with a otr it gets all heat soaked in traffic and makes less power as soon as you punch it from standstill? The pod intake makes more stable intake temps that dont get as cold but it doesn't vary as much, wouldnt the optimum idea then be to add some ducting from the front bumper...

Oh yip so there would be a different power curve if that was done in 3rd. By looking at that dyno graph do you reckon there would be any gain from changing the pod intake to a otr if so what kind of gain do you reckon itd make. It is a auto by the way. And the temp says 25 degrees Celsius on the...

Bigger the wheels and lower you go the more camber you end up with isnt that pretty much the way it goes if you dont have the room. If there's still more clearance should be able to make it a bit better with a wheel alignment

Been reading about dynos etc and people were saying that the power run on a dyno should be done in 4th in our cars and not 3rd why is that. Reason im asking is because i noticed on my dyno sheet the power run was made in 3rd will put up a picture please comment on anything else you see with the...

i was reading that doing the power run in 3rd gear will not give as good results as doing the power run in 4th. Is this correct. Sorry i didnt post up the dyno sheet at the start so you guys could look at all the info. Cheers Tim

What speakers should i use if i want to retain the factory amp all i want to do is just replace speakers

Hey mate thanks for your reply much appreciated i seen the audio port on the side of the head unit so this is the cable i need to plug into that port what does everybody do on here about relocating there cigarette lighter socket. Pain in the ass spot from factory

What speakers are you putting in your car ive been planning on replacing mine for ages as one of mine destorts quite bad in the left rear door from what i understand there arnt many choices for speakers in these cars run 2 ohm speakers and most are 4 ohm is that correct im not 100% sure

Has anybody come across problems with the front aux port in there 2007 ssv head unit my front drivers speaker is the only one that plays sound when using the aux port and its not the cord as ive tryed multiple different cords.

Yea ill have a look at my wheel speed sensors over the weekend hopefully. Could be just something to do with the new rear tyres different compounds etc. With traction control turned off so it doesnt kick in the car just doesnt feel as planted as what it did before the new rear tyres. Done a big...

Hey guys sorry slow reply i had a wheel alignment done and it didnt solve it. So dont waste your money getting a wheel alignment. I thought it had fixed it got 50ks into a 400k trip and started doing it real bad as soon as i started getting into the driving. Im just driving mine around with...

Yea they are both getting quite cheap aswell i can get a vcm unit for $575nzd which is down from $1000 what they used to be im hoping it might actually make a half decent jump in power after installation just cause the pod isnt actually getting any fresh air just air from behind the bumper there...

Yea im definitely going to fit a otr. Which one is better the vcm or the x-air how do you reckon itll run on my current tune if i change from the pod intake to the otr. Getting some decat pipes aswell not sure if that will pick up any power or if the 100cell flow fast enough

Yea i can understand that every dyno is different and i absolutely agree with you its all about how it drives and pulls and i definitely think it drives nicely and i like the way they tuned the trans the shifting feels firmer and it definitely pulls harder was just hoping for bigger numbers...

Hey mate what else has been done to your car 867nm torque is huge if you just have headers intake and tune mine only made 564nm with headers &catback and intake.

Yea im definitely considering otr and retune should only cost couple hundred to retune just a tickle up. Will probably be putting a cam in it this time next year. I dont understand how that undy222 made 235kw standard mine made 217kw before the tune and i already had full exhaust and intake...

Thanks for all the info guys how much power loss is there between an auto and a manuel. Im contemplating on weather to fit a otr or not i just dont want to spend $700 nzd and find out it only gives me a couple kw on the dyno. And no real on road performance. Im going to try take the cats out...

Hey guys just want everybody's opinion i got my automatic L98 ve ss dynoed today it got 4-1 xforce headers high flow cats and 2.5" xforce catback. Volant cold airbox with highflow pod filter. It made 238kw atw and 565nm torque after the tune It was 31 degrees Celsius inside the dyno room or 87...

I just noticed my 2007 ssv doing this today aswell and that was after fitting new rear tyres has never done it before. Very interested to see what people find mine flicks the esp on going around some corners on open round doing 100ks makes car feel unstable mid corner

I'm ready for a tune on my commodore I've done the usual mods exhaust and intake not after every last hp just want to pick up a little extra power does anybody have any experience with having a late model v8 tuned in christchurch new zealand. Cheers Tim

Cool mate thankyou very much it was very helpful

What does everybody do to plug in there radar detectors and gps on there ve commodores I've seen an adapter on ebay that replaces the Littles cubby hole under the cd player with a lighter socket. want to know if anybody has wired one of those into there car and how easy was it or do people...

I've got a ssv which is 20mm lower then the v6 the king springs super lows dropped it a further 25mm and I'm using kyb excel g shortend shocks. Springs cost $400nzd Shocks cost $700nzd through George stocks

Hey guys just want to report that I've just had kyb shortend shocks fitted and I'll say that it has completely transformed the car. Whoever says that there ride is good quality using just king springs with standard shocks you are really missing out the quality of the ride now is just so perfect...

I rung George stock. Got a set of kybs on the way right now $700 for the set plus $10 postage top service
