Curious but did you find out the issue. Mines been doing it lately.

I have been editing the post and may have done so the same time you replied lol I am wondering about the coil also, but am hoping is there anything else I can check myself before putting $$$ to new coils. I have obd2 + dash command, and have been checking the fuel trims, and ST is moving...

Edit: Started new thread if you are able to help as my symptoms are a little different to this post. https://forums.justcommodores.com.au/threads/ls3-new-leads-sparkplugs-exhaust-louder-mileage-is-bad-rich-maybe-loss-of-power.302453/

Note: The loss of power and running rich / mileage may have already been there, I only started noticing after the exhaust note got louder. - Stock headers / cats with a 3" catback & OTR. - New NGK Iridium Plugs (IZTR5B11) installed to torque spec - New Leads. - Cleaned Throttle / MAF Sensor and...

Edit: please delete not sure why double post happened.

I have to say the ramjet 3 is ugly lol VCM definately looks better. I have the ramjet OTR and it looks good with the factory infill.

I remember there was something different on the module side between the series 1 and 2 / 3. But not sure if it matters when fitting the v2 to the v1 etc.

I have SSSL's all around. You need to roll your rear guards, and maybe your front depending the wheels you get. I can still tow a full trailer load with them running 275/30/20 in the rear. Have to slow down on every speed bump. Get use to hearing scrapes lol. My cars mainly a weekend and Ive...

i am def paranoid at the moment lol My tests are rural and close to home so i am pretty much pushing it hard while keeping an eye on the temp through engineer mode. Highest temp ive gotten to with NZ sun so far is around 105c then the fans kick in and it drops to the 90s.

We used a mace Set on my sv6 years ago, and it had a rattle for like 3 seconds every cold start up. Changed out to Genuine and no issues. I wouldnt touch aftermarket tbh

Day 2: After another good hour or so drive on the open road keeping temps as high as I can lol, still good. I dont want to take a video of me doing it, but the pull test seriously feels like its gonna be a hard one to pull off. I feel the neck it self would snap somewhere else before the hose...

In my case, I snapped it off by leaning on it :) So end of life for me could mean X years? or.... Either way if I didnt snap it off my self I would still be driving it. But yes, if you notice more wear then maybe you are right to replace it. In NZ, we are looking around $350 for an aftermarket...

Caution: This is experimental, so do at your own risk. This issue has been around for years, but thought I post up my progress on a "maybe" fix. And also to hear feedback. So if you came across your hose popping off, then you most likely came across the why? The dreaded neck snapping off at...

A Faulty Alternator, and what sounds like a Faulty Rear Wheel Sensor (Really Common in the VE's) is actually not bad :)

Turned out to be oil pressure sensor. Cold start idle is sitting on 300 kPa. When warm it sits on 200 kPa. Is this normal? I cant remember what it use to sit on, i thought it sat on 300 kPa but cannot remmeber now.

If you are upgrading to the one in the 2nd picture, pretty sure you need to get the unit programmed to you VIN.

This video may help to double check you have connected everything right, or if you are missing something

If all LEDS are good, then its likely the module. I would try the wiring harness fix first, Its the cheap option. Im not sure if anyone in NZ sell them though, last time I went to Holden about it, they had nothing, and that was years ago. You would have to buy them from EBay. If you are happy...

Yeah, they just on there with clips. Just yank it out. Closer to the clips the better. Cant remember exactly where they are lol

Thanks was wondering about this. Unplugged it and 0 kPa reading. The price @ Holden NZ, Genuine = close to $280! Aftermarket = $150. Genuine Import from AUS = $99. Bloody Hell Holden is a rip off here in NZ.

HSV LS3. No Engine Light. 5W/30 Nulon. Had Ryco Filter last few months, but swapped out for AC-Delco yesterday to see if that was the issue. Out of nowhere, my oil pressure on the HSV gauge & DashCommand, has been showing 600 kPa at idle rising to 800 + kPa (Normally sat on 300 kPa). If the...

Is Hychill a stop leak? Or just Aircon Refill. Wouldnt mind trying this stop leak stuff first

Any luck with your issue? Or did you find a nice price to fix yours lol

Damn. This explains the big price :(. Im not sure if Evaporator and Condenser are next to the same area but after finding this link. https://www.facebook.com/DougallsAutoElectrics/posts/1056905554334186 Sh#t no way I will be doing this job o_O:eek::confused:

Took my car into the shop the other day as I have lived without Aircon for couple years now. After the check, they came back to me saying there are no leaks at all in the engine bay, it must be inside the cabin. They quoted me a significant number to do this job as they say the dash needs to...

TBH if you going to upgrade you are better off upgrading to Series II or Aftermarket. Series 1 SSV headunit is below average these days. Doesnt even have bluetooth audio and weak output power

if you have a series 2 Omega then they wont fit flush if it's a series 1 headlight. 99% certain will be straight swap with the loom side. I have a set of HSV headlights (They the same headlight as SSV / CalaisV) at the moment on my desk I can try get some photos if need

If you change to 3" alone doubt you will feel any gain. Re-Tune after may give a small gain. it will be the sound difference you have to ask yourself what you would prefer. 3" may drone more then 2.5"

e2 Clubsport Manual. I feel like the car decelerates at a faster rate then it use to while in gear? I got a Check Engine Light / limp mode about 3 weeks ago, got all the usual lights that turn off. ABS / ESP etc. Took it to my mechanic and he read / wiped the codes. There was a dealer code he...

Im planning to wrap mine in carbon fibre wrap lol hopefully it comes out right. Otherwise I will just strip it off and think of another plan.

What ceramic pads did you go with? I have a new set of DBA 4000 T3s and still deciding which pad to go with. The Brake Dust on the stock pads were horrible. So been thinking about going Ceramic.

If you are doing the Labour yourself, then it should be straight foward swap. Thats if you have a VE Calais and not a VY. You mention both so dont know which one you have.

Thanks alot mate. A lil worried about chopping the stock amp wiring at this time lol. But damn why did they have to be different. I might try find a plug that might plug into the stock amp loom and see if I can go that way. But thanks again will give the loom a go.

You mean the electronic Throttle Cable? Yeah, its a mission to get too. The Boot release is right above it. But do able.

Oh My ...

Hey mate. Did you have any update on this? How did things go? What did you end up doing. I currently have a Sub hooked up using a Amp / LOC connected to the Rear Sub Speakers which run off the stock HSV amp. Was thinking of using the same harness you have here, and hooking up another amp for...

Curious did you do a before and after test? With the speakers and stock system, and then adding the Sony system? Am thinking about that Sony amp you quote, as I like the sound of plug n play. But I do have a amp I can use, do you know if the harness itself is for sale? Where I could just plug...

Curious, how do you know when your fuel pumps fkd? Check Engine Light? Ive only owned my e2 for near a year so far.

+1

Yeah imo aftermarket mufflers on the sv6 sound sporty, and horrible when you floor it. I liked the sound of SS Rear Mufflers with middle muffler delete.
