Hi Guys/Gals, I have been having an issue with the immobiliser in my VZ SS. The immobiliser is not de activating, I have purchased a new key head, this still didn't work. I have also had the battery tested in the old one and it was producing enough volts to work I was told. From the info I...

Computer = No, has to be a manual computer. Loom = No, different fitting to the gearbox although u could get an auto electrician to modify it if you could get a hold of the plug

so guys, anyone else got any idea?

how much was it to get the computer tweaked? Does anyone know the name of that sensor that is apparently near the flywheel?

no i doesnt have any codes according to holden. I have also replaced the 1-2 solenoid with no change. im thinking maybe the throttle position sensor. I have also heard that tweaking the computer can make a difference? anyone fixed it?

Hi Guys, Ive been searching around the internet for 6 months now trying to find a fix to the common problem of the auto boxes in the commodores (and various other american models). The problem is the harsh gear changes. There are so many different threads on various websites but no-one has...

Ive got my ss on gas and it runs sweet as, i have the liquid vapour system and i dont notice any difference between gas and petrol. i paid abit over 2300 after rebate.

Mine got worse. Has been back to holden so so so many times and never been fixed, they claim not to know what the issue is. Next step is to get a tune as apparently it may fix it but ive been through a rebuild and all. there just a crap box.

total agree with troy, ive got an ss thunder with an auto and they are $hit peices. Wait around for the right one!

Hi mate, 1.Anywhere between 13-18K depanding on condition, k's etc 2.If your worried about it scraping probably best you dont lower it but if you do use heavy duty springs 3.I think the S and SS kits are the same but some S paks didnt have fog lights in the front bar.

correct me if im wrong but i believe the vs box was a borg warner whereas the vt was getrag...should fit though....

i though sssl's are actually ultra lows, in saying that the above post is correct if not then sl's are your next. Go to the king springs website.

Hey man, I've just had the same issue with a dealer. Make sure they have a record of your complaint on file, go speak to someone else about what's wrong with your car and give them some coin to call up your dealership, they listen to mechanics. If this fails they generally back down as soon as...

let me know how u go man.

Mate, I've had the same issue with my thunder. It was driving me mad as i took it back under warranty at least 8 times be4 they went for the rebuild. After the rebuild it was fine for a while but the ####as back. I'm thinking I'm going to try and replace the tps. And most people say that...

I did it to a VX (relativley similar) and from what i understand its alot easier to do to earlier models (VN,P,R Etc.). For a start there needs to be a new loom put through the engine bay and a new ecu. In saying that you dont need to "trick neutral starter switch" or wire reverse lights. It...

ebay A group called 4Blok does them

Ive got mine in the tray under the fuel tank trap door (front of the tray). There are vents there that go straight behing the passanger seat and i get a nice amount of bass (i dont listen to doof doof ##### beats though) cost me next to nothin for some thick wood to make the L shape box.

i did it to a vx that i had already speant a fair bit of money on (audio,bodykit) and i still believe it is worth it, if your car is worth it. if you havent speant any money on it outside of services and theres no sentimental value dont bother, just sell buy a new one. But, if you really love...

hey man, i own a vz thunder but have always been interested in a ve, want to chat?

wow man awesome work, might go aheadwith the bonnet, cant wait to see the rims etc tonight.

Just been through the same thing. Luckily my local holden blokes not a bad egg and they did it for me just out of warranty. Pretty much its due to holden using the same box for both the 6 & 8 without strengthening the guts of it. Story goes (from a transmission specialist) that due to the...

There Zumbo Siphons mate...

Thumbs up to the thunder ss 6ltr with red leather interior.....you'll love it. Did you have a manual?

Try these, Xr8 bonnet, the rims with red walls please man...oh and front lowered a touch.

Hi guys, Can someone please photoshop an xr8 bonnet bulge onto my ute and also change the color of the rims to glossy black and also white please....thanks.

Hey all, I replaced the 1-2 "A" Shift Solenoid today due to previous gear change issues. When I removed the metal clip off the solenoid it popped out with a great deal of force. I checked the 3-4 Solenoid and it had to be pulled out, nothing like the A solenoid. Basically the prior issue had...

ive got the same thing although im not lucky enough for it to have disappeared. Read thread page 2 "Vz thunder issues"

Well update time......after raising the car again and sending it to holden ive still recieved nothing from them....now their saying its an issue with the gas system and are charging me for looking at it seems as though the gas isnt under warranty! Anyone got any idea how the gas could possibly...

so just to clarify: the fact that the rear is lower than the front shouldnt actually affect the drivetrain at all? Has anyone had an issue like this before?

Hi all, At the moment im having an issue with my ute, its a thunder 4 spd auto. On acceleration it kicks really hard between 1-2 gear, generally only at around 1800rpm. When i say kicks hard i really mean it, it could probably put your spine out if you werent expecting it. It also causes my...

Dynamic Paints in Bendigo, give john a call....

my vz's thunder cover's gap isnt that big, its almost flush actually.

cheers mate. good reply.

Hi all, im currently driving a vx s pack sedan, im off my p's and really want to buy a ss ute. Im still paying the vx off and probably wont sell it for enough to cover the loan. Pretty much what im asking is does anyone know or has anyone ever got the original loan rolled over to a new car...

I put a vy manual box in my vx but the loom from the vy was different and wouldnt fit into a vx....
