    I don’t believe you need to with the vcm unit as majority of air comes through the grill section and comes through the lower part

    In car smell

    Never had an issue with mine. All I do is make sure I turn recirc off a few minutes before I switch the ac off. I know cars that have recirc turned on all the time and they reek

    Trim noise issues...

    You may be hearing the door latch move around on the striker, common fix is to wrap the striker on the body with electrical tape, or a cloth/felt tape. I believe Holden even do this as a fix. I did it on my drivers door and it stopped any little noises. Give it a shot.

    VE SSV Redline - Cold Start Issues

    I moved back to 98 a few weeks ago and haven't had the issue re-occur. maybe a dodgy batch of fuel from singapore

    Is there any chance you can let me know who your new tuner is. I'm looking to have some headers/and my VCM OTR fitted to my existing catback and i'd rather go to tuner B than tuner A cheers

    Trans cooler?

    i was watching some production video on youtube and it shows what i clearly think is a trans cooler - is it sandwiched between the radiator/condenser?

    Exhaust Technology SA

    i'm sure he'll make you a custom exhaust, but will cost more than $2200. Maybe have a look at Manta, people seem to like it. fwiw i have a KPM 3" system on mine and am happy with it's fit/finish/sound

    Exhaust Technology SA

    are ET making you a custom exhaust or supplying the off the shelf marco gold exhaust? from what it appears the marco gold exhaust and the KPM exhaust are exactly the same. It's probably become cheaper for the both of them to source from overseas from the exact same supplier. They just would...

    VE SSV Redline - Cold Start Issues

    Yesterday morning with less than 1/4 tank of 98 it started like crap after sitting 12 hours, put in 50+ litres of caltex 95, let it sit almost 24 hours and started spot on this morning like it used to.

    VE SSV Redline - Cold Start Issues

    BP announces it's new additives - still doesnt explain the issue with the other two. although my issue was at its worst with BP - Link here.

    VE SSV Redline - Cold Start Issues

    I think you're on to something there. as i've just looked at BP's site and they are claiming their all new BP ultimate busts dirt in two tanks - and they spent 5 years developing it or something like that. and shell has been pushing their vpower with that gunk busting stuff. so yeah it's...

    VE SSV Redline - Cold Start Issues

    this begs the question then, are they adding ethanol to 95 to bump the octane up and maximise the profit made between 91/95 and sell it as 98 ? now we've had a couple cold mornings in adelaide, my caltex 98 which i thought was ok when it was warmer is now doing the same thing

    VE SSV Redline - Cold Start Issues

    my issue has 99% gone away when i switched from Bp to caltex. there still is a little bp fuel still mixed in there. I think the issue might not be with the cars but with the fuel itself. what have fuel companies starting adding in to the fuel? this issue has only recently appeared for most...

    VE SSV Redline - Cold Start Issues

    I changed over from V-Power to BP Ultimate in the last tank and found it's alot worse than it was with vpower. but with both fuels it was fine if the engine was cold but ambient temps were 30+. Maybe there's special additives added in there for summer that is causing this issue? or in general...

    Strange Idle Issue - S1 Redline

    VE SSV Redline - Cold Start Issues

    i've noticed the same problem with my car in the last week to two - and i use 98 v power exclusively also. Perhaps it is a suspect batch of fuel. i'm going to a different brand/servo next time to see if the issue persists

    Strange Idle Issue - S1 Redline

    Thanks for the replies. car has only run 98 since new. So perhaps a bad batch of fuel? Might try from a different servo next time. Today it zoomed into life normally but was 32 here in Adelaide. Will see in the morning what it's like. Or maybe battery is dropping voltage when cold. But I...

    Strange Idle Issue - S1 Redline

    Hi, i'm wondering if anyone has encountered this issue. Car is a S1 Redline for the last week or so when starting from cold it seems the idle doesn't rev up for the first couple seconds anymore than decrease to 1000rpm. It feels like it starts and settles to 1000rpm straight away. I can tell...

    Calais v upgrades

    Welcome. I recently put a catback on my car so will add my 2 cents. If I had my time again I probably wouldn't have done that mod as it's my daily. The noise can be annoying at times especially when I want some peace and quiet. I would probably just do an intake and tune to get the power...
