    Cold start rattle on LS3 - piston slap :) Engine replaced

    I never really understood why such a mass produced engine had issues here, I've lost count of the LS motors I've owned and only a 03 VY clubsport with 40 K rattled bad( no oil usage)

    Buying a car from interstate

    we sold our Prado(Adelaide) to a guy in WA after getting quotes etc he flew over and drove back as it was cheaper he said(all pre covid of course) than on truck or rail. He did get an inspection done buy some mob before he flew over, they took 1/2hr to look over car and test drive.

    Which shocks should I get for my VF Redline?

    Think it's still the same my VF2 is SSL front and SL rear, my VE ute is SSSL front SSL rear to get the even gaps

    Ve sidi 3l

    check plugs and coils first, then injectors. could need a carbon clean on valves as a sidi doesn't have fuel cleaning intake vales

    Which shocks should I get for my VF Redline?

    Super pro top strut bushes are good otherwise std rubber is best

    Which shocks should I get for my VF Redline?

    Fitted yet? Thoughts on ride? I did these on a VE yrs ago on SSl kings and hated it went back to Monroe gt, maybe the SSL was to low. Very harsh ride.

    Check Engine light Issues

    Your receipt from Holden should have the codes that they found post them up.
  17. blackve76

    Rough Idle

    Sounds really odd with those codes, maybe maf clean and fuel injector check up.

    L77 engine noises

    Omega Engine

    some omegas series 1 have the 3.6L engine, some have the dual fuel 3,6l engine and some in series 2 have the 3.6l LPG engine. ring around wreckers for 2nd hand engine but check for oil sludge build up in the rocker covers etc as a quick guide to engine condition servicing

    VCM 3 Cam drivability in a manual?

    Any cam shouldn't stall at low revs, good tune and should drive fine that's not a really big cam and lift is a little low for a Gen4, this is a great daily cam https://www.compcams.com/lsr-cathedral-port-231-239-hydraulic-roller-cam-for-gm-ls-gen-iii-iv.html I have a Comp 239/247 in my 6l...

    How many trouble-free kays will you get out of a standard Evoke before major trouble occurs.

    I'd say the 150k mark, alternator/ water pump etc tend to go. Our 12/09 VE Berlina V6 is at 240k going strong but has has a 7500km servicing since 60k.

    Recommended Tyres for 2014 VF SS Sedan

    Agreed the 003 is a great tyre and surprised me how long they last, just need them on special. Last time local Bridgestone couldn't get RE050s in so offered me 003 at same price

    New Headers Advice

    Agreed the low down power loses with 1 7/8th headers is bull on the gen 4 maybe the LS1.

    New Headers Advice

    Wow that's a big increase, early in The VE days I had pacemaker try us and std cats on my 06 VE SS, got a cam and later on got 4~1 packed and 100 CPI cats and retune got extra 7 kws and was from 4000rpm above. My tuner told me the std cats sent that bad look at the size of them.

    Which shocks should I get for my VF Redline?

    Years ago I bought FE2 shocks and struts pull offs basically brand-new of eBay for $50 delivered. Lots of people remove std stuff for aftermarket so you might get a bargain. I agree if you like the handling etc before just go same gear.

    Holden dealers threat lawsuit against GM

    Doubt it seems lots of dealers ( multi franchise) are off loading Holden's to close mid yr. With the way GM is treating them I can see many caring about after service
