    LS1 Rocker needle bearings -“uncaptured”

    Hi all - I wonder if anyone knows if these rockers in the picture are the same as late model LS1 (VZ) or does my car still have the 'uncaptured' needle bearings in the rockers? I was going to upgrade to roller rockers just to maintain the valve train geometry but they are so expensive I was just...

    Yes, true. But of interest, and my point was again if you check out other users some seem to go to sh1te afterwards, thats all. The forums worldwide speak of it, I know they are silent when they are working, heaps are happy with it but heaps arn't either so when the OP talks to his installer...

    Tru track diff

    No don't get me wrong i agree but if that's the case and you add more slop to an IRS rear end that's already noisy, forewarned is forearmed that's all I'm saying. I read that truetracks were silent which they ain't and the net is riddled with guys trying to overcome the engineering with all...

    VZ to 3.9's speedo calibration

    EYY - Mine being just a one off job is easier for me to remove the ECU and send it down to the guys at enyvous customs who are going to do the setup there. I will no doubt learn by my mistakes otherwise and f__k the whole shebang up in the process which is not something I want to do with an ECU.

    VZ to 3.9's speedo calibration

    Thanks everyone for your advice, I made contact with enyvous customs who have this issue solved. You've no idea how much running around I did before it dawned on me to spend 5 minutes on here with a request for help. Cheers.

    VZ to 3.9's speedo calibration

    Hi all - I have confirmed a 2005 VZ Monaro (auto) ECU can be calibrated to 3.73 ratio via Tech2 as it was a stock Holden diff ratio for some other cars. I can't confirm whether anyone can calibrate a speedo to 3.9's other than via the Jaycar box, which I'd rather not use. My question is has...

    Hi mate - No, I don't have any issues yet, only 2500k's traveled, I've only read the info online (a bit like a little knowledge being a bad thing)..

    LSA Supercharger Solid Isolator Coupling

    Hi all, wondering if anyone has done the solid coupler upgrade on their LSA using a part such as this Yella Terra one http://store.yellaterra.com.au/holden-hsv-gts-lsa-supercharger-solid-isolator-coupling/ There are lots of horror stories on the interweb floating about re wear on the...

    Cabin Air Filters

    Hi all - the VE video makes it look easy, but it's a total PIA on a VF II as the whole top cover has to come off, which eliminates the tight squeeze you're referring to. I've changed cylinder heads that were easier than this and have given up in fear of busting something despite following the...

    MY17 Specs and Release Date

    Agreed. Learnt more on here and six months before most dealers, a big thank you to those blokes that took the time to post and share their knowledge, we have all probably changed our minds a dozen times about what we want but all said it's a shared interest and appreciated by many I'm sure.

    MY17 Specs and Release Date

    Mate once you've driven the LSA the smile on your face will help you decide. The VF is a heavy car and good with a NA LS3 but lacklustre when compared to the LSA. Guys try to circumvent this with exhausts and wheezy OTR intake mods but real grunt factory grunt comes supercharged.

    MY17 Specs and Release Date

    Yes, but keep in mind there will be a bombardment of advertising soon as the last Aussie V8 is pushed and even the average Joe might be a punter. Supply and demand will give the dealers the upper hand, I do want one and might have to bend over and present if it's left too long and dealers aren't...

    True, I m gonna take a drive out there it isnt far from my place. I can hear the bloke tapping on his keyboard when I called - in other words he's probably relying on whatver is on there.

    Deposits on MY17

    Fair enough. I don't know what the 'they're available' would be specified on the order though as they aren't announced. May as well write a post it note and stick it on his arse, most won't know it from their elbow though so better put one up there also; just to be safe.

    Final colour is as correctly advised by another member as the same as that on a Trax son of a gun grey. There are a few SV6 Utes left in NSW I'm aware of though. Keep in mind you can walk into a dealer tomorrow and order a Prussian steel redline V8 and they will happily take your money with the...
