Hi All I am selling my original Chrome trim parts that I swapped for black when I purchased my new car from the dealership. They have been boxed up and living in my garage since November 2016. LOCATION: Ryde/Sydney NSW CONDITION: Like new but used. (See DRL surround pics and comments)...

I added one (by Elite Engineering) to my MY16 SSV Redline. gets to about 1/3rd full after approx 2500kms

Just an update for anyone considering getting the Alpine unit. I went into Strathfield Car radios the other day to enquire. The rep was good enough to call his alpine rep. He said the current model X902D/i902D is discontinued as Alpine can no longer source the tactile buttons on the front of the...

just proves what a scam Dexos is.

My issue has somehow miraculously fixed itself. Buggered if I know how.

Just an update. I installed the 14.5 Beta 2 last week hoping it may have a fix but unfortunately no. I have an open case with Apple and they seem to be taking my case seriously. I have tried hard resets, full reset of the phone, and restore but none have fixed. Today logs and diagnostics have...

And does anyone know what we could expect from the 903D? My understanding is that this will be the third version of this system right? What did the 902D give us that the previous version didnt? Also, are these fairly easy to install? I know how to pull the Mylink screen out. I just havent...

Does the alpine unit replace the factory Bluetooth module/antenna?

I'm in the same boat. Keen to get some feedback.

Sooooo. what are people using as a replacement for Myline? Alpine unit??

Works fine in my wife's BMW X3. F%cken Mylink shite!!!

Yeah IOS 8 caused major issues with Bluetooth. They since fixed it and now I fear its screwed again :(

Anyone else having issues since the upgrade? When I play music from either youtube or Spotify it has a very noticible stutter making it useless. Never had any problems on previous versions. I'm using a 12 Pro Max. Phone calls seem ok. No issue with my Bluetooth Bose headphones.

Mines going in next week to stay at the dealership for a couple of days to determine if its of any concern. As a bonus, one of my injectors failed today. Anyone want a SSV redline with 26K on the clock?

Congratulations.. Your car has been fitted with a supercharger. Enjoy killing your tyres!

Less is more with a V6. id be aiming for a moderate raspy note. Not an annoying loud droning system that will give you instant douche bag status.

Just goes to show how much **** goes through the intake.

hahah yep, engine only has 27,000 on it too. Worth adding IMO.

for me usually 2-2.5k rpm for regular driving. 3k if Im feeling like I'm in a rush 3k+ if Im fanging it.

I haven't. What is your year of manufacturing?

why not a 5w 40?

He is my catch can after a trip from Sydney to Orange and back. Approx. 900kms.

Give Liverpool exhaust a call. He had some last time I called.

Has anyone fitted either the GM Oil or Transmission cooler to thier SSV? Im talking about the same one they have on the Motorsport. If so any feedback?

Yes i think your right, hence the 40 that is under it.

Done! Was super easy. Was surprised to see the oil temp was 40degrees when the engine was dead cold. Any one else experienced this?

Dry filter or Oiled? Pros and cons?

Awesome. I put in an order in last night. Don't know why Holden chose the Eco Menu over the Performance menu. I'd prefer not to see the ECO menu as all it does is remind you that your vehicle drinks more than an Irishman on St Paddys day.....Duhhhh!

was it easy to install?

Anyone here used these guys? https://lsxtreme.com.au/product/vf-instrument-cluster-performance-menu-programming/

Sorry just realised someone started a thread earlier with a similar question. Sound like it does have one but just not sure how I get easy access to the information through the cluster menu.

Does the VF Redline measure Oil temperature from factory? I have been led to believe that the instrument cluster temperature gauge is measured based on coolant temp rather than oil. Is there a way for me to see the oil temp without having to fit an aftermarket gauge?

With the last name Barra!

Well the fact that forged is known to slap must mean its an acceptable phenomenon and subject to a range of factors such as materials, piston design, clearance, ambient temperature etc. Some here have claimed that GM have deliberately cut on quality control and although I can admit that GM...

Thats around the same time I started to notice it on mine.

Thanks for clarifying. I misunderstood the original source material.

Does anyone know what Alloy GM use for the LS3 Hypereutectic pistons, ie 4032 vs 6218. This is worth a read on the differences. https://www.jepistons.com/blog/2618-vs.-4032-material-differences

What I find interesting is that these LS3 Engines are fitted with Hypereutectic pistons which are designed for tighter clearances as well as durability. Regardless of this, many owners, including myself are experiencing Piston Slap. One positive I can take from it is I no longer trust the temp...

My neighbour is a mechanic and recently had a listen of mine. He claimed it was slap pretty much straight away. Called a mate he knows who was a pretty senior tech at holden who told him straight up that its not an issue unless its still making the noise after the engine has reached operating temp.

I did something very similar to my black 19" wheels. I was distracted when I drove past my local dealership and they has a MY17 Spitfire green on display. Hit the concrete strip on the middle of the rd and took out a very small chunk of the wheel. Its annoying and I have been tempted to replace...
