I had mine done by raipid exhaust at fairy meadow - the Xpipe replaced the 2 x hot dogs - rapid are the guys who make the marriage savers ... give them a call and talk to Darren about it

That's not an X-Pipe on your HSV - H-Pipe and X-Pipes are joined to allow flows from both banks to benefit from the exhaust pulses - They increase the speed/efficiency of the exhaust and gives a burbling sound. https://www.autoanything.com/exhausts-mufflers/x-pipe-vs-h-pipe

How did you know they failed, did the engine miss or throw a code? Mine runs rough under load, the dealer couldn't find any error codes and couldn't duplicate it but it still happens, I'm wondering if replacing the leads may help?

How many k's did you travel in 6 months?

How often do you have to clean the filter on this one - that's the only thing that's put me off so far

The letter says the engine can miss and run rough because of this - is that right? I thought the problem was the rockers broke? My LS3 is affected and I got my letter the other day, it does run rough and miss under high load at low revs going up a hill in 6th, would the rockers cause this miss?

Downwards as in 90 degrees to the rear window or parallel with the window?

If your current car generates 375kw, surely it's going to have similar performance to the new one that also generates 375kw? The new LS3 may behave differently through the rev range an feel different, but 375kw is 375kw ?

Has anyone had this problem? My new VF2 SSVR will keep displaying the reverse guidelines with a black background after reversing and driving off. They stay there for about a minute with no buttons on Mylink working or responding including the button near the handbrake to turn off/on park assist...

Thanks guys - I didn't realise the trims had to come off

Can anyone please advise how to remove the glove-box on a VF series2? I saw another post saying there are 4 x bolts but I can't see any screws or bolts? Thanks

I have liquid injection lpg on a VF Series 1 SSRV - done over 110k with it. Had it tuned for lpg and it goes better than it did before on P98. I get about 13.5l/100 average compared to 10.5l/100 on P98.

My xpipe and marriage savers are a great combo that I'm happy with. No drone and great beat/note when floored and when starting, plus pops and crackles on deceleration.

If it's like mine - it's probably coming from the seat belt retractor behind the white plastic cover ....

Interesting - I have a gas liquid injection VF SSVR that's been tuned and every time I start the car (hot or cold) it hesitates and runs without much power in the 30 seconds that the car runs on petrol before it automatically cuts over to LPG - If I start on petrol with the LPG off it never...

Might be a long shot but worth trying - I got Service Steering Column errors a while ago after getting mine converted to LPG - the problem was that not all cables were tightened up on the battery - car wouldn't start even though radio and everything worked. Holden simply tightened the cables and...

Yes that's the one - Brian is the guy you want

Actually it's a long story - the LPG injection system I bought is made by Orbital - that company went into administration and sold everything to Sprint Gas. I had mine installed by an Orbital dealer who became a Sprint Gas installer. He does LPG installs and maintenance on Taxis etc in Taren...

Yes it's worth doing for sure - be sure to get it tuned afterwards, mine is much more powerful and responsive on LPG than it was on 98. Checkout the liquid LPG done by Sprint Gas - http://www.liquidlpg.com.au/products/liquid-lpg-conversion-kits/holden/commodore-vf-60l-sedan/ .. I have the VF1...

Wouldn't Holden spares sell them? A wrecker with a VF would also?

My SSVR just had its 100k service and they told me my front brakes have 5% left and will need replacing soon - they also said I'll need a complete set of front rotors at the same time which is strange as the brakes have lasted the entire 100k. Is this normal? I've never had to have my rotors...

Or disconnect battery which might be easier than finding and fiddling with a fuse ...

I listen to Audiobooks all the time and never have this problem - I don't use USB though, I'm connected via bluetooth - is this an option for you as there are no issues using that?

It's steam/condensation ... steam/water/condensation is normal reaction from your catalytic converters, it's more visible on colder days as the colder outside air holds less water than the warmer air from your exhaust so it condenses into visible steam and water drops. Its also the same theory...

That must be your work's policy - my work has no restrictions on the lease as it's paid 100% from my salary.

Be that as it may - when I picked up my car after a Mylink update both Gyro and Odocal were at 0% .... it took less than a few 100m driving before Learned state said DR Possible (Dead Reckoning which is what it would be using with no satellite coverage) ... Maybe because you had your maps...

Mine took almost 200km to get to 100% for gyrocal and odocal ....

I had Mylink upgraded today - I now have the Mute Voice Prompts option when navigating which wasn't there before. I noticed that both my Gyrocal and Odocal were 0% when I picked it up - after driving 30km the Odocal is 50% and Gyrocal is 30% ... I also asked about a map upgrade, they said No...

Cool - a new hidden screen! Would be interested to know about any map changes, also how much they plan to charge for this ..

No, it doesn't work like that - the ATO put limits on the residual amounts - for a 2 year lease the residual can't be less than 56.25%, 3 years it's 46.88%, 4 years is 37.5% and 5 years is 28.13% and the residual is calculated on the purchase price plus GST ...

My redline is a novated lease through Maxxia - I've also had novated leases through Fincar and FleetPartners over the years - they all work basically the same. The lease company have always been able to beat any price I could negotiate, probably because they get Fleet buyers discount and the car...

I wired up a dashcam a few weeks ago using this and just used simple female spade connectors CT51 Yellow Female Spade Terminal 9.5mm Spade Width | QVEE - Automotive | Mining | Marine

Josh, re-read the email they sent you .. Holden are saying if you don't want to do the comprehensive driving test then it may take a few hours for the maps to calibrate and start displaying properly, in other words it may take a few hours for the GPS to lock on ..

It's easier to just stream your music via bluetooth using your Android or iPhone - the steering wheel controls turns volume up/down and skip/rewind tracks

I'd be interested to follow how you go - I am also planning to buy the same OTR from them.

Great stuff Dave, is there a viable comparison to the Marriage savers and Xpipe on mine? How much noise goodness did the OTR add, I'm planning to do that soon

I work in Sydney and live in Wollongong - it's just more convenient to do remotely as I don't want to wait around as I'd have no way to get back to work ... OZtrack also offer free subsequent remote tunes if you buy other upgrades from them, so I'll be doing VCM OTR next which only will cost...

Had mine done by Steve at Oztrack - I had LPG injection and Marriage saver exhausts - the process was quite easy, after I sent the files from reading my existing setup he sent modified engine and gearbox files which I did another recording and he sent an updated engine file - the process took...

I've had my SSVR tuned remotely by EFI Live - as above, just press start once without pressing the brake and EFI live can read/write as needed .. push start again when done

I had a VY commodore that would need its rotors machined every 3 months after driving down Mount Ousely in Wollongong every day and the rotors warped - every commodore I've had since has never had warped rotors going down the same hill every day -
