hi excessv, yes mate she is a beauty....what sort of setup is the cai from chipmaster, been thinking of getting a maf or mafless tune...thru them....

the CAI from chipmaster is specific for the VE. its a pod style setup

i'm waiting to see if the OTRCAI that has recently been developed by someone over east is gonna prove to be as good as they were for the VT-VZ range and might update then.

go see Dan @ Chipmaster and he will sort you out for a tune mate.
he is honest and no bull**** so have a chat with him and tell him what you want.
he has some neat OTRCAI for VT-VZ and can has different tuning options with maf, mafless, mail order tune, custom tune, etc

omg, thats one sexy car

[R0d]

i think ive seen this car around very sexy

[minux]

Looking good bud, looks terrible without the rear wing though

[Pabs]

Looks spot on now dude with the wing removed and those new rims well i dont need to say anymore besides awesome . nice work

[Pabs]

by the way dude can you tell me if the stud pattern for these ve's are the same as the old ones gonna get some semi slicks for the back and some another rims for the drags so would like to know if you can help? cheers

[EXCESSV]

thanks for the comments guys.
spoilerless is something that some ppl love where other ppl hate.
its something different and the main reason why its off is coz the SSV spoiler from factory on my car came really rough feel and swirls bad so got it off to clay bar it and all and thought i would go without for a week or two.
still havent clay barred it as i am a little lazy right now...lol...going on jetski is more fun than clay barring a spoiler

Pabs
the stud patter for the VE is the same as previous commodores.
except in the VE the studs are 14mm where previous models are 12mm...thats about it.
most rodney jane mags have stud holes 14mm anyway for the commodores so they suit the VE...thats what i was told by mate who is a franchise owner of one

[Pabs]

Cheers dude for the info, are you heading to motoplex this wednesday for whoopass first meet? they say to be there when gates open at 4 i think cause there only allowing the first 200 cars so i was told by a mate, i mite head down so if i go ill come say gday if your going down

[NickVR]

Awesome VE mate. Those wheels would look really nice on it.

[hightekhosting]

Awesome car mate....absolutely love it...and that exhaust note....very very nice! Purrs beautifully.

I quite like it with and without spoiler...in the end, its totally your choice.

Well done though. Shes very nice!

might go down and watch this wednesday.
the first couple of weeks will be packed and when mystery mondays starts it will be 2 nights of drags a week so it should ease the amount of ppl there and mean more runs in.

are you running the car on the night or just spectating?

[Pabs]

Not sure yet dude, waiting for a mates car to be fixed at the panelbeaters and will enter in if he goes with me but wont know till wednesday so ill get back to ya but im definately going one way or the other

[VRSS]

looks awesome man.. i reckon lower the rear a bit more so it sits level then it will look good without the spoiler. those rims will look heaps nice one it looking forward to seeing them on

[EXCESSV]

CSV DTI (Direct Throttle Induction) has been ordered and paid for...
black and MAF version...
gonna be shipped on friday so sometime next week it should be here and off i go to Chipmaster for a install and tweak on the tune
pic of what it looks like. will post up pics of it on my car when it comes


wheels are put on the back burner for a little while but damn power is ADDICTIVE!!!!
I WANT MORE

would love to tuck some rim in the gaurds but coz of the long pacemaker extractors the high flow cats hang pretty low as there is no space to tuck them under and any lower than currently it will struggle over speed bumps in city carparks for work everyday.

the car is used everyday for work and used on the track, strip, sprint days, etc so for me its perfect for ride height, handling, etc....its not a show pony although when it does go into shows later on i can just wind the coilovers down and have it slammed!

[Pabs]

looks pretty dude nice looking, went to monday nite last week and finally got my car doing a 13.06 but the track was slippery as,organising semi slicks for next time and my new toy NOS fly by wire 150rwhp kit pumps me to 505rwhp gotta love that

nice work dude....going with giggle gas hey?

went down to the plex to watch a mate run...he did a 10.8 on the first run and packed up....now he has to cage it to come back.
next wednesday i am hoping to go down again this time with my helmet and give it a stab.
guys with same combo as me with street tyres are running mid to high 12s...
i know i wont get that being the first time i have ever dragged but should be in the 13s without any problems...

[Pabs]

dude if you dont change your tyres you wont crack the 12s, brett from formula tech couldnt in his with stocko tyres

[EXCESSV]

dude if you dont change your tyres you wont crack the 12s, brett from formula tech couldnt in his with stocko tyres

friend over east done it with the stop rims and tyres and ran a 12.7 so its possible. and with bald RE55s ran a 12.5

i aint gonna go out there and keep trying to get a 12 with stocks
just going out there for some fun and see what i run.
otherwise i would go tex clutch, 3.7 diff ratio, MT etc....if i was chasing low to mid 12s

might look into MT options if i get real keen.

more keen on no limits at Barbagello...prefer the track to a straight line

[EXCESSV]

here ya go ppl....the result of a CSV DTI with mafless tune


so i went from 253.7rwkw and 488.2NM of torque with
full exhaust
chipmaster CAI
Chipmaster Tune

to 274.7rwkw and 525.8NM of torque.
with a CSV DTI instead of Chipmaster CAI
Chipmaster Mafless Tune

21rwkw and 37.6NM gain
same dyno same operator both times

all i gotta say is this car is an animal to drive.
Big thanks go to Dan from Chipmaster for an awesome tune

this thing is an animal.
i am still getting used to the mafless tune.
when driving normally its fine but when you get up her its a whole new story with mafless....and i love it
the ESP light keeps flashing like christmas tree lights now

[Pabs]

gotta be happy with that dude, how did you go at whoopass or havent you been yet? Looks like its stock tyres for me anywayz. Cant put any smaller than 18in rims on my rig and the biggest they go in semi slicks are 17s so im a little screwed hehe gonna be fun with the giiggles haha

plex got rained out and some got one run some got none
got free entry to it this week coz of it...so will be there

yeah your hsv brakes will stop you running smaller rims
i think mine will take 17s with semi slicks so might go down that path but just wanna have some fun now.
plex is good but track days at barbagello are insane.
