Haha…Love the Navara so far. Sure it will do the job for my needs.

Totally cool with that. I was not meaning to come across with any lack of respect for anyone else’s choices.I was just stating that in my personal opinion, very happy with Calais. And maybe that is because I am old enough to be a grandpa!!

I love my Calais, I have had heaps of positive comments on its looks. It was cheaper to buy than an SSV Redline. But I also prefer so many elements of the Calais - the blue colouring to the displays - the titanium leather interior - the heated seats, electric passenger and driver seats. I bought...

You can we the HSV labeled AP Racing Brakes front and rear in this picture.

Oh and I added the Paddle Shift wheel.

Yes mate - still need to get KN filter - but yes all fitted. 347RWHP after 322RWHP before. I asked the guy to effectively give me a tune that is like factory and ensure it is not running lean anywhere. I can post up the curves, his tune seems to follow the factory across the range. At some point...

My VF2 Calais - just had her Dyno tuned. This is a keeper for a while I think.

I will take it. How do you want the cash ? PayPal or what ?

Ron - the picture shows KN sticker on air box. It is the HSV air box though right. And why are you moving it on ?

So Ron, you have removed the MSE ? I have been debating about the Walkinshaw OTR or the XAIR OTR (with MSE elbow). Does the sound inside the cabin change a great deal ? (Whether you prefer it or not is a different issue). I assume you still get the pops etc.. as that is exhaust generated. But...

Is that right - the headers on the LSA is the same as the standard LS3. I just assumed they used same headers or similar to the Walkinshaw systems.

Aware of a guy selling the complete exhaust system from headers to tail from a GTSR - apparently upgraded the system almost as soon as he bought the car. Was wondering how this would fit up to the standard LS3. note this was a GTSR not the W1. So LSA based I think. would it fit ok, would it...

On the VF2 LS3 - what materials are used in the Exhaust system. Someone was telling me yesterday that the exhaust itself is factory stainless steel. And what is the diameter of the factory exhaust system. I was thinking about getting a Hurricane system, but I found it interesting this guy was...

Sorry mate, just wondering if you went ahead with this. And in the end how much did it cost. Where did you buy the new vented bonnet, what sort of cost was it, and was it finished or did you need to get it painted. Thanks.

Would be interested to get your opinion on these. The quality of the product and general thoughts. Did you go Gloss Black or the Matte finish ?

I love the look of the Gen-F Clubsport Tail lights. From my reading, it sounds like they cannot fit a standard VF Holden. I don't understand why, and curious if anyone on this forum knows. Is it the shape of the rear bumper bar ? All the other surrounding panels seem the same to me. I have...

I bought one of the kits from Jayssvz and it has worked flawlessly on my VFII Calais V. I could not be happier and the after-sales support, when I did have an issue with the installer not installing the airbag bag correctly, was great. The auto electrician that installed it, followed the...

Thanks all, I have sent some photos to a Custom Trimmer today. See what he comes back with. And glad to see I am not the only one that thought the Calais was missing something there.

Would anyone know if it is possible to remove the left-hand dash panel where the alacantra section is, and then once it has been removed, have a word embroided on that panel. I have a 2016 Calais V with the white interior. I would lobe to get the word "Calais" embroided in Red on the white...

You could also go with these. These bolted straight on (with exception of banjo bolts for fronts) and mods to the rear plate that wraps around the read discs. And the engineer that I had do the certification and mod plate in QLD advised that it was not needed as these exact parts were on the E...

Very sad I think. How times have changed. I started watching Bathurst in 1980 when I was 11 years old. Followed the legend Peter Brock right through. The whole Ford and Holden battle; I used to go to Lakeside with my Dad as the local track in the 80's. Always wanted a VK Brockmobile, then an HSV...

I have one - the standard LS3 engine cover from my VFII. But the cost to ship to US would be high. I am travelling to US in March (San Francisco Bay Area) - but still getting it there would be difficult. Let me know if you want it and we can discuss price.

Hi All, I went looking but couldn't find anything specifically on the VFII series. I am considering removing the large round chrome lion logo on the boot and replacing with a gloss black one. Has anyone done this, is it only held on with adhesive or is there some other elements. I am also...

Calais with original brakes

Here is some photos of the new brakes fitted up. The brake pedal feel is great, and they look great. Next, replacing rear 8.5inch HF20's with the 9inch and the 275/30 tyres for the staggered look. And then the paddle-shift on the steering wheel. Front_Fotor by mfrancis1990 posted Jan 19, 2020...

Rear Brake Assembly

Front Brake Assembly

Just an update. Went ahead with the upgrade. I had two different Queensland Transport Department “approved persons” give me two different pieces of advice. One stated I would definitely require the Mod Plate and Certificate the other staring that because the kit parts I am using are identical to...

Wow, just read through the thread from @Ron Burgundy - I am now seriously considering cancelling the order. I am a risk-averse person as well and could see an Insurance company trying this on. I have a mate that has been doing a lot of mods (built a Ford Anglia with a 1300cc Hyabusa engine) and...

My Calais came with the Performance brake package - larger front brakes and I believe larger master cylinder. I am in QLD.

Ordered last night online, rang them this morning. Should have the kit middle of next week, installed next Friday. I checked again this morning, this is all AP Racing kit - except the pads which are Ferodo. Another question I had this morning - do I need to worry about any changes to brake bias...

Just wanted to check with this group if anyone has gone with this kit: https://vsport.com.au/product/ap-racing-4-piston-brake-kit-holden-vevf-commodore/ Seems extremely well priced. Thanks all.

Wow, polarizing. Personally, I have not found issues with glare. I have not had any issues with the Hands-Free and I have used it quite a bit. I am sure there will be niggles with it, it is Android based after all. But I had niggles with the MyLink as well, with some sporadic issues with...

Hello All, Here is a link to a video I did: https://drive.google.com/open?id=11vgGp_ZYwVWA5VP04GrAus0yAsSG6Cs2 Excuse the monotone voice - it is what it is. Also, the video was actually 3 smaller videos I put together. I was recording the video from my iPhone and when I switched to Car Play...

Hi All, Just thought I would post some information on an audio system upgrade I recently did on my VFII Calais V. Like possibly many of you, I was disappointed with the MyLink system, lack of apps, sound quality, lack of Apple Car Play and Android Auto. I looked around and researched and read...

Hi I have a VF11 Calais V and I can confirm it does have the G force meter in the HUD. Would be great to get more engine data in the screen of the mylink as well.

Hi All, Dec 2015 Calias V LS3 I put my car in for a service yesterday and asked about getting paddles installed. They had the gear and said they would fit; after a day of being in the workshop was told they fitted them; but could not get them to work. They rang Holden and were told they cannot...

Hi - could you give me more details please. I have a December 2015 VF Calais V LS3 and I would love to add TPMS. I rang the local dealer and he had nothing on any genuine TPMS system through spare parts.
