i tried this with my car and all it did was lock me out for 40 Min then only one key worked so had to take it to Holden anyway

sorry mate i dont quite follow you here are you talking a vx to vy sort of change I.e same platform different sheet metal or VY to VZ cosmetic update. cosmetic updates were planned to be 4-5 years sheet metal after 8years or so and platforms no less that 12-15. the time frames havent...

yeah mate cheepest way would be to but the key from e-bay or holmart get it cut from code then holden will have to programme it for you. this will involve a tow as you will be able to open the doors with a key cut from code but your alarm will go off and the car will be imobalised. and you can...

not an unusual thing for people to do expecialy if they are used to old ways or guys i know who play with race cars. doing stip downs and such not a nesscity these days the cam etc should stay nicely lubricated during a simple oil change

calaber your confusing body life cycle with platform cycle. series 2 and vf are body style reworks 2018 will be platform regig. the GFC has prolonged and kept to a minimum the actual changes effected i.e until Vf no sheet metal changes just plastics

that is why they are changing they way they do things to try and improve this

beleive it or not the lenght of thime the ve has been around unchanged is a deliberate move holden stated this when the released the car that it would be the end of a new v model every few years and they were following the aporch a lot of other car makes have and simply improve the produt they...

in short yes although the ecu does not detect the octane level of the fuel as such. what the ecu does do is detect a signal from the knock sensor witch is simply a pezio sensor in the head that detects the shockwave caused by premature detination or pinging. the ecu then adjust the timming as...

beet your heart still races whenn you remember that drive tinny would have been terrifiying its all good have enough power to kick start a small planet but you need control over it to use it

whats the mod plan to get your 450? i would think you would be pushing reliability on pretty much all your componetry for daily use. you would be looking at 700 odd hp at the flywheel even the fantastic ZF box would be sweeting at that. then to use that sort of turbo feed power you would need...

possible because 6cyl owners make up the vast majority of all commodore/falcon owners

heater tap is where i would be looking there has gotta be one on there either its not working or its not getting a signal

this is not an issue isolated to holden buy any large sedan and you take the hit go buy a merc or BMW and watch you cash roll out over three years

hence i said that his statment that the ford gets smashed by the holden is completly incorrect

to simply change the engine would require a complet ADR rework and recertification. re crash testing and calibration of the suspension ESC and all related components. im not on the board at holden so i couldnt tell you the figures but i would hazzard a gess and say that any benifits would...

bold statment completle incorrect but bold

GM Have Every engine configeration avalible to them they do have SC v8's and its a monster of a thing in the vett. as to why holden do put the engine into the commodore is very complex and crtinly not to prove anything with ford.

you do make a good point tinny. the whole situation just pissess me off people are dieing daily and the govenment just wants to fleece more money out of every day drivers going about their day insteed of saving lives

my aim is not to create an argumnet either but i would suggest the the balance and roadholding of the car would not be compramised by the deactivation of the abs that would also render the esc out of action. doing this allows or if you will forces the driver undergoing the training to actual...

im a believer that modern cars are eleimanating the skill of driving

if it was my wife the service manager would be getting a please explain visit very shortly after

im gonna side with you here and i think that everyone who does these courses should do so without electronic aids. and actualy learn some car control skills. yest a lot of new drivers now drive cars with abs etc but most learn in mums new car then get their own dungger with out electronic aids...

look for a product called nutserts

i got in the car after the missus once with the very low fuel light on i got to the end of the street F****!!!!

you are deffinatly within your rights to demand they pick up your car on a tow but maybee not a coutosy car but i would kick up a fuss for one

in this instance it would be an observation not a fact. as to be a fact it must have quatafiable data

it seams the esc did work if provoked the esc will alow a yaw angle of about 10 to 15 degrees expecialy in the wet before it reigns in the fun and stops you from spinning into the nearest tree. this i think is becoming a big problem these days kids can get a ve omega hold the foot flat to...

it seams everyone who dose a little power slide become dirft world champion. tail out oversteer on the exit is not drifting

i would say reverse being next to first has more to do with where asin put it then where holden would like it

i would agree with tinny 100% in my opinion a great number of drivers i observe lack the skills need to operate a motor vehicle competently. sure they all have the basic motor functions needed in order to make the car move but this is not driving. they lack any comprehension of what they are...

you would hope whatever system you put one dosent backfire at all because you could blow out a few hundred dollors of sensors every tim it did. the new vapour system are deffinatly very good and the liquid systems even better

if you are going to put gas on a sv6 use a injector system be it vapour or better still liquid. i wouldnt go with a old mixer type on a new ve personaly. thats not to say it wouldnt work. there are systems out there for the alloytec i havent experianced them myself but have heard mixed...

a deceleration od 23k's would explain nicely why there were no airbags deployed his **** box took most of the force. i wonder if he realises how lucky he was only be hit by a car with its impact rails so low to the ground you can clarly see in your photos that you car exerted most of its force...

yep all the same

depeneds on what waranty your under most extended warrantys wil not cover anythig electrical factory warranty would cover the lot

what did you hit? he hit a little tissue box that most likly got shunted out of the way or pushed down the road dispersing the energy from the crash

yeah as said before unless you headbutted the steering wheel the air bag did not need to deploy. they are trigggerd by the rate of deceleration. and the ve's are a modular setup so a new front end would bolt on very esialy so i would expect a repair job if the damaged dosent extend further...

na mate both the 3l and 3.6l versions are SIDI

well they run a twin 2 1/4 stock so asingle 3" shouldnt be to big and this is on a 3.6

lowering the car should reduce the drive shaft angle so shouldnt realy be a issue
