Hi all, Currently in the process of an LS3 to LSA conversion and would like to know the following information: Does anyone know the part numbers for the Bosch 1000cc injectors that plug directly into the LS3 wiring loom and are a direct replacement to fit onto the LSA fuel rail and LS3 engine...

One reason is for servicing, I live 1 hour away from my preferred service department and bringing the bike in the back of a ute would be great so I can continue on to do whatever I need for that day and go back and pick it up the next day at my leisure. The main advantage is I have good friends...

Man I would love to buy one of these LWB utes.

If anyone reading this thread has a LWB VR/VS ute for sale please contact me directly on [email protected]

The VS LWB ute seems like the most obvious solution for me. My bike is a 2019 Indian Scout and measures 2311mm long. It would fit very tightly in most Holden utes but the tailgate would have to stay down which is not what I really want to do. The VS LWB ute could be the ute of my dreams!

Hello Does anyone know or can anyone measure the tray dimensions of a VN/VP/VG ute? I am looking to buy a Holden ute but want the to find out which has the longest tray out of the VG to VF range and finding the oldest ones are the hardest to find any dimensions of. Just purchased a motorbike...

Hi If in the state of Victoria and you go to the likes of Sandown or Phillip Island and just throw your car on the track for a couple of laps in a specific clubs or manufacturers track day more often than not you won't need a CAMS licence. If you are going to the likes of Sandown or Phillip...

Hi Keen to see them, hope you had a great day. Regards, RTSV6UTE

Hi I don't pity them at all, they are collectors items and the BT1's from the 80's are now worth good money. However your comment about them been abused at the St Ives driving school brings flashbacks from the original "Police Academy" movie. Regards, RTSV6UTE

Hi Who is this question to? If it was a VL turbo ex cop car I will put my hands up! Regards, RTSV6UTE

Hi all Does anyone know or can anyone confirm if the QLD police ever owned a HSV VF Clubsport 340kw, blue in colour? Friend has just purchased a used one and thinks his car is ex QLD police? Regards, RTSV6UTE

Hi Thanks for the recommendation. I was dealing with Dion from Lumley and he knows the 2017 Director very well, lots of questions and extremely thorough. I ended up getting a quote emailed out to me for the laid up cover which covers the car in storage and also in transit if on a truck or...

Hi Started doing the ring around. Shannons are 50% dearer than what they quoted me exactly 12 months ago. Suncorp is much more expensive as well. I can get insurance from as low as a $450 premium from Budget Direct but they will only insure the car if it is kept in the same location where I...

Hi all My insurance renewal from RACV arrived today for my Director. Better hang on and get ready all you Director/MSE owners, I was paying under $700 premium for the current period and my renewal has come in at $918.82. I phoned RACV asking why such a massive increase (nearly 30%) and the...

Hi A very lucky Queenslander! Regards, RTSV6UTE

Hi Couldn't agree more. The differences in premiums is just huge, like paying .49 cents per litre for petrol at one service station and then $2.20 per litre at the next. Regards, RTSV6UTE

Hi Very good advice. My business partner has over 30 years experience as an insurance broker spanning several countries and still has many contacts that let us know who is doing what etc on a regular basis and which companies are better than others. Regards, RTSV6UTE

Hi Been shopping around for insurance quotes today, I found Australia Post "GOLD" comprehensive insurance available in a range with a Premium of $498 with an $1,800 excess to a Premium of $738 with a $600 excess. Regards, RTSV6UTE

Hi That sucks! I pay $700.50 with RACV with an Agreed Value of $75,000. My excess is $2,000 as I opted for the highest excess that gives me the lowest premium. Regards, RTSV6UTE

Hi Very true, I would be interested to know what seals people refer to that won't need changing within 10 years should a car be a daily driver that would otherwise need to be changed within 10 years if I put the car in storage. Regards, RTSV6UTE

Hi I would be happy to bet the righty that it wouldn't even go to court! Regards, RTSV6UTE

Hi After conversing with a Holden dealership today, yes you are most certainly correct. However I was also informed that should someone choose to purchase a car and put it away in storage, not service it and something like the dashboard cracks, seat trim comes apart, or a black coloured side...

Hi Thanks Skylarking for your response. I purchased my Director interstate and informed the selling dealership that my vehicle will be kept in storage and most likely won't be putting any more than 1,500k's per year on it and sometimes it may not put any k's on at all for the year. The...

Hi Yes I start them at least once per month and try my best to start them twice per month. To the other replies, many things can and do go wrong when a car is left in storage. The benefit however is extremely low kilometres and a mint condition vehicle that can be enjoyed in many years to...

Hi I have no idea what you are getting at, please enlighten me on how your post refers to cars built in the 60's, 70's. 80's and 90's that are part of my collection. The Director is unique in the sense it has a warranty that is currently valid. Regards, RTSV6UTE

Hi Thanks for your reply. It is just part of my collection but will be nice to bring it out in 20 years time and have a mint condition Director on the road that still needs to stop at a petrol station to keep going every 500k's when most other cars will be electric powered! Regards, RTSV6UTE

Hi all I have a Director that I purchased new in August 2017 and I had its first service done in March 2018 which included the rocker arm replacement. The car has only travelled 130k's as I have only driven it twice since I purchased it, once to get tinted windows and the second time was to...

Hi How does the stock level of Directors increase after 19th of March 2018 when the last one was built several months before 2017 ended? Regards, RTSV6UTE

Hi What exactly is the issue with the power steering? Is it an issue with the 2017 built Commodore? Regards, RTSV6UTE

Hi all Treated my Director to a quick wash and a wax today. Enjoy the pics. Regards, RTSV6UTE

Hi Anytime an oi change is done it gives the mechanic an opportunity to check the oil removed for any other underlying issues. I would always expect the standard services to include an oil change regardless of kilometres travelled. Regards, RTSV6UTE

Hi all Thanks for your replies. I was able to find the answer to my question and worked out that the part number ending in "10" is a Walkinshaw antenna to suit VE and the part number ending in "11" is a Walkinshaw antenna to suit VF and yes the antennas are different to each other. I just...

Hi Had the inlet rocker arms replaced, A/C recall performed, the 1st 9 month full service including oil change performed, red centre caps and lock nuts fitted to my VF Director last week all at no cost to me (I supplied the red centre caps/lock nuts). Car has only travelled 110k's since...

Hi Which Walkinshaw antenna is best for my VF Director? WP-11L-10010 or WP-11L-10011? Regards, RTSV6UTE

Hi That's good to hear. May I ask what did you do about the wiring to the rear part of the suspension? Did you have to cut the factory wiring loom and re-solder it after the new rear springs were fitted? Regards, RTSV6UJTE

Hi Yes they most certainly have, I also know some MSE owners have also lowered successfully. Regards, RTSV6UTE

Hi Pedders are not my preferred suspension, but they were in fact the ones that informed me of the issues at hand back then when trying to lower a Director with MRC4 suspension. These issues have now been overcome. No other workshop went to the trouble of explaining it to me at that time...

Hi Decided against it for now. Regards, RTSV6UTE

Hmm Ah well, my Director that was built late July/very early August is probably going to get new rockers. I wonder if the courtesy tilt tray will bring the car to the closest Holden dealership to get the fix done or will bring it to my preferred dealership? Would love to see the engine number...

Hi Copy of letter that dealers received: Regards, RTSV6UTE
