    LT4 VE Conversion - Throwing It Out There

    Pretty sure the electrical nightmare is the reason hsv scratched and bribed for every ls9 they could get hold of for the vf gtsr the lt engines were going to require a massive amount of rewiring, new comps etc.

    Hey all After driving the new wagon the other day apart from the normal exhaust cooling tinking noises I heard what sounded like water on hot metal...Upon inspection it appears that there is water dripping onto the exhaust beside the gearbox, on both sides.. At first I was thinking aircon drips...

    Yes my plug is on the right of the tow bar...was the same on my VE wagon, it should be easy enough to relocate if you want, will just leave a few screw holes under the bumper

    Tow ball plug is the flat one, comes as a complete plug in wiring harness that deactivated the reversing sensors when something is plugged into it.

    Paddle Gear Shift

    Its pretty good, but obviously nothing like pulling gears in a manual. sometime using the shifter in manual mode is easier, particularly when the road gets twisty or sharper turning, as the paddles turn with the wheel, so they quickly disappear from where your hands are...

    Will Kia Stinger really flog an SS?

    I really hope it does well over here, it Wil help reinforce the market for affordable , powerful, piston engined rwd cars... If it flops, many other manufacturers may have a long look at the market trend, influencing future models.

    Will Kia Stinger really flog an SS?

    NOT a bad looking car, but the ass could be better, it would be a fun car to drive no doubt, plus kias 7 year warranty is a BIG bonus. The AWD model that we are not getting would probably be a nearly a second???? quicker again .. But I hope they have worked on their interiors, when we bought the...

    MY17 Specs and Release Date

    I Was told it couldn't come from factory on the wagon, they had a he'll of a time dealing with hsvi, as mine was the first set requested for a redline wagon... When they sent the HF20 to the dealer they didnt realise the 2017 red line had the tpms, which is why there was no sensors in them ...

    They are in the wheel.....Just check the tpm reading on the dash, mine didn't error until I drove a few km...and mine are just plain black, nothing like the above pic... I got a Tpm error on my dash,
  32. Trofius

    MY17 Specs and Release Date

    Make sure they put the tpm sensors in the new rims.....esp considering HF20 are not a factory option on a wagon. It has been a slight pita for me.

    Preferred fuel for 6.2 L LS3

    the manual says it is tuned to run on 95...as noted I use more fuel when I did put 91 in it, and bp 98 will give you a tad better range.

    Hates/Dislikes about the VF SII

    Hate, the lack of CD player. Don't like where the aicon vents are placed Don't like that the wiper module i s hidden behind the steering wheel arm. Don't lie the silver dash trims, scratch very easy and reflect the sun. Don't like the cruise control functions. Hate the chorus of panic beeps...
