The VE SS in question has 230,000 on it now, no the oil light hasn’t ever come on, but the pressure drops off the gauge once up to operating temps and you aren’t on the throttle (pressure stays ok when on the freeway for example) Changed out the oil pressure sensor hoping for an easy fix but...

Misses VE SS (L76) is going in for a new oil pump, I’ve ordered the Melling high volume pump and it arrived from USA last week. I thought it might be a good time for some new timing chain goodies while the mechanic has the front cover off, and just wanted to confirm that a stock L76 takes a...

I just checked, it was 2 hours labour @ $160p/h

Ok, I eventually got mine fixed. (Pretty sure I made a thread about it of you want to search for it) But the long and short of it is the recirc door was replaced, still had hot air only. I took it in to the stealership and paid for the diagnosis as I was completely stumped. As it turns out, on...

This last few comments remind of the old saying "I would agree with you, however then we would both be wrong"

Too long or something else?

Got a 2009 (MY9.5) VE SS Wagon, and the material in the door cards is lifting and coming away. Just wondering if sedan, wagon, statesman/caprice are all interchangeable. Found a nice set of leather ones from a statesman online, wondering if they will fit the wags....

Thanks man!!

Yeah, the MY thing has always seemed stupid to me. Its not like the last VF's off the line in 2017 are MY18 models lol. Mines built in 2016 so i call it what it is... A 2016 VF2 SSV Redline! Back when i was growing up, i had many Gemini's, never once did i look at it in any other way than the...

Holden has my 2016 VFSSV Redline in their system as being a Motorsport edition for some reason. I'm not going to correct them lol

Yeah im well versed on how it works. At the time i read everything about them and was in the volt forums well before production. However would still be interesting to see how the battery has held up. Also you aware that its not really a true series hybrid? The gearbox does have a mechanical...

3 for sale on carsales... low to mid 20k They had a really small battery pack, i wonder what capacity they are all these years later?

Sorry for the delay in replying, but YES! i did manage to find the issue. It turned out all the actuators were fine and working perfectly. Apparently one of the rods that goes into the HVAC centre ducting had popped off, so when the car went through its relearn process, it wasnt actually moving...

On a related note re windscreen cleaning, I wanted to share this tip. If you ever get hard water marks, I've found that (this is going to sound crazy) regular old steel wool with glass cleaner works fantastic at removing them. I tried all sorts of things people recommended, ranging from a lemon...

Wheely clean.....i used this crap like twice and it ate my brembos clear coat. Luckily holden replaced all four under warranty.

When the misses says you have to list your car for sale.....this is what happens. "i dont know why it hasnt sold yet babe"

Someone tag me in this in a few years, so i can also read along.

gotta ask, whats the go with one spotlight?

so goes like this SS SSV SSV Redline NRMA had me down for 62k (rose from 54 from the year prior without me asking them and without an increase in my premium) and changed to shannons who said "we have no problem insuring you for 75k" - a figure they came up with. Manual redlines were the top...

is it going for more than new or close to it? I saw ZB prices not long ago and nearly couldn't believe it. Under 20k.....couldn't give them away i was thinking

Just a 2016 SSV Redline manual, bought new and insured with shannons

Yeah, ive had mine since brand new, and while insured for 75k, id hate for anything to happen to it. I know every klm thats been put on it, every service has been done ontime, and always treated with love and not thrashed. Trying to find another to replace it would be a gamble and anxiety invoking.

Yeah not quite, the SS (the redline model i have anyway) gets the bigger brakes, thicker swaybar,(Thickest ever offered in any commodore ever in fact) HSV diff gears (3.7 in my manual) and a TR6060 Tremec manual. Curious if the SV6 comes standard with an LSD tho?

well.....except for the ZB that is :D

MY VF2 SSV Redline has auto lights and is still on all its original bulbs since 2016.

Yeah, i have my 2016 manual herron white SSV Redline insured for 75k. If (heaven forbid) something were to happen to it, i’m gonna need that amount of coin to replace it like for like. And even then i wouldn’t be happy as i’ve had the car since brand new. I think the high prices are here to...

The only thing I can say is the drivers side actuator (the one that’s a son of a bitch to replace) is the one that controls airflow direction.

Here’s my new Koyas, I had them fitted yesterday and couldn’t be happier with them. They really set the car off, and zero scrub.

yeah I did mate. At my wits end I took it to holden for diagnoses, turns out all the actuators were fine, and it was a rod that goes inside the hvac centre stack that had come off. You couldn’t see it and I never would have found it. All the linkages were attached as far as I could see, but it...

My GTRS W1 knob was Ridiculously expensive, just under $500

Might have to get your old one redone mate. There's a guy on facebook who does awesome work, probably the best upholsterer in the country. Downside is he has a few month waiting period as he is in such demand (shows how good his work is). I can give you his details, that way at least you have a...

100% these guys are about 20 mins from my house on the Gold Coast

well no, they aren’t lol. I picked my offset and they milled them for me (I have a video of them doing them for me) Koya gets blanks, they then mill the offset to the customers request along with the bore hole. A day or so later they mill the PCD and then it’s off to powder coating. I chose +42...

yeah thanks mate, doesn’t really help me withthe wheels I’ve already purchased tho with the above stated offsets, while I appreciate the response, I sorta wanna here from the bloke with the same car, same wheels, and same tyres I’ve already purchased. The rims are here in boxes at my house, the...

Hey mate, Reaching out to you as i bought the same Koya SF11's in satin bronze for my VF2 redline sedan. I've gone with 20x10C fronts + 34 and 20x10.5" DC + 42 as this is what Anthony from Koya said i could get away with considering i wanted the most aggressive offset i could fit. I've had my...

And then theres me, Jailbroken iphone with free spotify premium for life, Youtube with no ads etc. I also use my iphone to fake my location to wherever the cheapest fuel is, and lock it in with the 7/11 fuel app.

Officially ordered some Koya SF11's in satin bronze for my car today. 20" x 10.5" rears, and 10" fronts. My factory redline rims will be coming off and getting stored in my pile of stock parts in the garage. Pretty stoked, ive wanted these rims ever since i laid eyes on them. I asked Koya if...
