    HSV or SSV Exhausts on to SV6

    i have a full exhaust from an SS here that i was about to chop up and throw away. From front to back, including the rear mufflers. First person to show up with a carton of Tooheys Old can have it :) Actually, first person to PM me and claim it, can have it for nothing.... i just want to get...

    oil viscosity on an engine with some K's

    before people jump down my throat, i'm not using that as a reference to my OP.... just saying, sometimes slightly thicker oil, or in his case, MUCH thicker oil, can help.

    oil viscosity on an engine with some K's

    my son has a VR Commodore with well over 300,000 on it. The only thing that has been changed is the injectors. He runs 40W-70 in it LOL it's like honey!! BUT, the lifters stopped making noise :driving:

    oil viscosity on an engine with some K's

    i know what noisy lifters sound like. It's not the injectors, i checked. Like i said, it's not too bad, but in an engine with a few K's a thicker oil would have to help. A new cam, lifters etc is going in in the new year, so old lifters will be replaced, and possibly rockers as well. But until...

    oil viscosity on an engine with some K's

    My SS has just over 150k on it. When the services are done, they still use full synth 5w-30 in it. It has extractors, CAI, Tune etc, and i tend to sometimes drive it hard. when it gets hot the lifters start to rattle, not a lot, but what you would expect for an engine with those K's that...

    What is a High Torque stall Convertor?

    I have asked questions recently about high stall converters because i will need one when i get the cam for it. Having NEVER driven a car with a high stall on it, i'm told the performance difference is huge! The one i was looking at is rated at 2,700rpm which will put it well into the power range...

    Stall rating for stock coverter Series I SS

    I never had much to do with hi-stalls. In the new year i am getting a complete cam kit from VCM and a 2,700 stall converter. I think the cam range is 2,200 to 6,800 Should work well. It has 335rwhp at the moment and thats with a MAF tune. The cam will mean MAFLESS retune. 300+ rwkw would be nice.

    does a 2,700rpm stall converter affect day to day driving very much?

    VE Commodore whinning at 50kmh

    My 06 SS does the same thing, but it appears to be coming from the trans. But it has 150k on it and i'm not kind to it. I haven't really checked what gear it's in, but it's at the same speed, around 50kph.

    Stall rating for stock coverter Series I SS

    did a bit of a search, couldn't find the answer i was after. As the title says, i'm looking a getting a cam next year and a higher stall converter. Just curious at what stock stall is. TIA

    Death, injuries in Dubbo Street Race

    i said peoples comments were ill informed, callous and not necessary...... if that is talking down, so be it. The comments are still IMO unwarranted. Like i said, nobody deserves to die, it's even worse when people rejoice in the fact that they have.

    Death, injuries in Dubbo Street Race

    if they had hit somebody, they would likely go to goal for a very long time. If you have never had to deal with the dying, and death, especially in an MVA, you got no idea. it's too easy to say it's cleaning the gene pool...... knee-jerk reactions to a serious incident. I would have preferred...

    i did a couple of modules of that course through the RFS, but only the ones that were relevant to my role. The LDR module was brilliant and i passed with a high distinction, and the SAF, which was a tedious pain in the ass. Considered doing the whole lot, but couldn't dedicate the time to...

    VE dash rattles

    as i was reading the thread i thought the same thing. The Omega i had rattled were the speaker went (the '06 Omega didn't have a centre speaker) so i clipped it out and put a couple of small blobs of silicone and clipped it back in, problem solved!! The SS made a horrid sound from the centre...

    i don't know much about the SIDI engines but what you are describing sound solely like an ECU problem. I'm sure somebody on here will be able to help.
