My VE2 MY12 SS/V Redline has had the seat belt warning chiming periodically for a while now and I finally decided to fix it. Thanks to the previous instructions in this tread I was able to do it quite easily and quickly, only a basic mechanical knowledge is needed as its only 3 bolts and a...

she is still in very good condition inside and out. This one was taken at 291k in April 2019

Pics taken last month

Happy Birthday Baby! I joined here to research the purchase of my first new car. I settled upon this beautiful girl who this week turned 10 years old. So far, an enjoyable 440,000kms we have travelled together, she has been the most reliable car, the only repairs having been: 2 batteries...

Don't panic! I haven't gone full tard on you just yet. We're writing a book. Something like a guide to the galaxy, for hitchhikers. Thank you for your contribution. We will be in touch.

Are you in a parallel universe? Don't rely on your anchor, Mr. Wolf is very active this week and may trick you. What can you do, easy, with pen and paper, you need to draw the map, relatively accurately and also record the text below, aka the 'Version' or U#. If an 'abnormal' event occurs...

Fair call, mine is almost all freeway on cruise, you would expect the figures you state for round town driving I agree.

If I've said this once I've said it a hundred times, you can not go by the trip computer, the only way to work out what fuel economy you are ACTUALLY getting is to work it out by filling the car and makin note of the Kms on the ODO, driving it like you NORMALLY would, then refuel it and record...

Common problem, same with VEs,

Who besides Holden can reprogram a blank?

I have a set for sale btw of AFM y tipped pm me if interested.

A squirt of wd40 or the like will have them slip in and out without force.

Y tip is AFM and if putting on a 6cyl is what you want. Twin tip is manual and will sound **** and drone on a 6

Yep makes sense thanks.

Oh ok they look like manual ones from my phone. What is the sound like on the j pipes cruising at 110 in 4cyl mode?

Ballarat Vic btw

I've got a set, what have you got that too loud for possible swaps

The OPs original mufflers you replaced are manual ones?

VE redline exhaust is the same as SS. For SV6 you'd want the mufflers off a AFM model that are triple baffled, for looks only not sound, manual model mufflers are twin baffled and will sound **** on the 6. I have a set of AFM mufflers in top nic that were taken off the car at 1000km that I'll...

I had the original J Pipes from them fitted for a while, awesome note, but the same as others, going up a long hill if it stayed in 6th it could get a bit loud in the cabin, flick to 5th in manual mode and it went whisper quiet. I was looking at the marriage savers as well, a toss up between...

After conversion my turtle shell fits perfectly on the wall of my man cave ;)

Trip computer lies, you need to work it out properly by what you put in / kms travelled.

Excuse my ignorace, but what is stealth mode, as in, what exactly does it do?

You are over thinking it I think, if your car is normally properly maintained, that should suffice. Having an extra spare tyre or a good puncture kit to DIY is a must, as with some basic spares like globes, fuses etc. Anything you need out of the city areas will cost you big $'s and time to get...

Where exactly did yo get this info from? It's wrong.. Fact is, most of them use the exact same base 98RON fuel then put their own friction modifying and cleaning additives in on top at the time that it is loaded into the truck for delivery. All brands are as clean as each other contaminate...

History of car will not affect insurance cost, only history of driver / owner matters.

Firstly they aren't MY14 wheels, they first came out on MY12, but a YouTube search of the unveiling of the VE at the 2006 Sydney motor show will reveal the same wheels on that car, so they are actually MY2006 wheels. Also, just remember that any mods to an ABS braking system, even an upgrade...

Fogs are angled down, as per the pic on the switch. If the road is wet, the angle of light reflects straight into the eyes of oncoming traffic. As has been stated, illegal to run if not foggy and even then illegal to run if headlights are running, you can only run them in foggy conditions and...

there are heaps out there for <$70 that have gps info as well that still have ok video resolution

The light bar would need its own isolation switch. You could do what I did, switch out the foggies for HID, wire them via relay to the high beam (so can only come on with high beam) and use the existing fog switch as the isolator. If you add the light bar in on the same circuit, with the same...

Yep, same here, got the vapour injected system, uses 11.7L/100 on gas or 12.5L/100 on petrol! The liquid injection system should be even better with better than petrol power, as LPG is 107RON or if you can get straight propane, 110RON. Propane gives same economy figures, but much better power...

yes legal, but excessively so. I only mentioned it because so many times when I hear the question asked, I hear the exact reply "has to be able to drive over a coke can" which is incorrect.

I take it that you are going by the trip computer, and not by its actual fuel use? The trip computer lies about fuel use at the best of times.

That is the difference between commuters and drivers, commuters just fill gaps, cut to the shortest lane in front of them, dont see or care about other road users. Drivers on the other hand read the road ahead, have minimal lane changes by looking well ahead to see which lane is flowing...

Looks good. I've never seen those lights before, have you got a pic of them in the dark/ twilight? Word of caution, any mods to the brakes of a ABS system require a full engineers cert. even if they are bigger and better than what they replaced, just something to keep in mind if you decide to...

Can somebody point me in the direction of a quality valve chuck that can be attached to an existing air pressure guage? The ones at the servo's with the digital pressure readout all seem to have a good snap on chuck that doesn't leak, holds tight, but every one I buy I still have to hold cos the...

I need to replace the lining in the mrs' VS, nice tutorial and yours came up great, thanks.
