Im not questioning anyone,i already have done it and know enough,i dont even bother going to the track in bad air. You are still being condescending and good luck with that,i didnt ask for your advice and dont need or want it. You cant guarantee any stock 6.0 will do low 13s,thats just your ego...

Pretty motivated and keen to understand lol,i fully understand people like you. Very condescending way you come across there cobber.... What makes you think i havent been taking my cars to the track for the last 20 years and might actually know a few things? Might have a stack of timeslips in...

So two cars we know of running low 13 stock,id say uncommon for sure,most run around 13.6-14 stock. Biggest commodore site in aus,anybody else heard of or seen stock vf 6.0 running that quick?

Super common time not special at all.

One of the best mods i did to my wagon,picked up a few tenths with diff gears,wouldnt have run a 12 without the diff gears. Best bang for buck mod on any na combo imo :)

Cost me around 250 to get mine fitted a couple years ago,change diff ratio in tune as well,it was a new genuine 3.7 so it already had oil in it. lsx powertrain in perth did it,cradle doesnt need to come out,only couple hours work.

Stock ss wheels come up on fb marketplace for cheap regularly,cheapest factory vf mag wheels imo,the 18s im guessing.Pick up a set even here in perth the rip off state for less than a grand easy with good tyres.

Just went out to the shed and checked mine because i was curious,its locked.(button wont open the tailgate) I didnt have the key in my pocket and my wagon hasnt been unlocked for about a week,if that makes a difference.

Straight up i was thinking 2 cans of intake cleaner lol,that looks nasty. Clear out the local mozzie population.

Wow so even the replacement has minor piston slap. Thats pretty sad tbh.

Got a low km 2013 vf ssv wags for sale with no piston slap,apparently a rare thing,quiet as a mouse on startup. :cool: Once m,y wagon is sold id never buy another holden,must have been super lucky to get one with a decent motor....

I just drove my brand new 3.7 holden lsd,changed out the factory filled oil after 1000km,no issues. I only ever did figure 8s to bed the cones on a ford m78 lsd,as directed by wa diff centre.

Much safer bet to pay $300 for a new one rather than risk ruining the one you have now. In the scheme of new steering wheels its chump change. Year ago they were 180,now 300,6 months down the track 380....

If youre not a dodgy cnt you wouldnt need to disconnect a customers dash cam,only people who have something to hide would do such things......

Why would you only quote one line of my post and talk about stuff i didnt even mention? You question me but give advice on piping cats to hide mods from the cops. Then your an insurance expert on my personal car insuarnce,id rather risk a minute chance of a yellow sticker as opposed to your...

Did you actually read my whole post? You were the one talking about 340 headers making power with no cats werent you? Here you go... If your worried at all about the law side of it id stick to the 340 hsv headers/cats. They are better than stock log manifolds and fully legal. If you got a pipe...

Not sure,everyone has a personal story i guess that affects their everyday life,i almost got my 3.7 diff from him,turned out holden/amcap still sell them for the same price,no abuse from amcap parts:) All i did was ask the build date on the diff and he abused me,just wanted to know how many...

If your worried at all about the law side of it id stick to the 340 hsv headers/cats. They are better than stock log manifolds and fully legal. If you got a pipe bent up to replace the factory cat pipe position and weld 400 cell aftermarket round cats in the straight section they would flow...

Yeah i have an fg turbo too,my stock turbo isnt much slower than my tuned,full exhaust,diff gears,otr vf ssv wagon.The wagon is a very very nice car though,seats in the fg are much more comfortable for me on a decent trip with my large frame. My vf is only 4 years newer than the fg but the fg...

Still spewin i didnt buy an lsa crate motor for $12500 from hol mart 2 years back,around $22000 now,even a new l77 is 18 grand bahaha That guy is an absolute prick to deal with.... Lsa motors probably burn heaps of oil and have piston slap too,if i win lotto im still buying a vf gts 100%

Yes its normal for an ls3. Is it widely accepted in the ls community, yes it is. Is it normal for an engine to burn that much oil,no it is not. My fg turbo doesnt burn a single drop and its done 150km,done around 7000km since buying it,performance engine id say,i dont baby it either. Its sad...

The second ones are basically 340 kw vf hsv extractors with hi flow cats and would bolt straight up but certainly arent ideal for making the most power,first ones look alright but for the price the fitment may not be great,you never know.

The stock diff gears arent even suited to the tiny stock l77 dod cam,they are fitted purely for highway economy. Id count on at least 3.45 diff gears to get the most from either of those cams off idle,maybe even 3.7 or 3.9. Id say the cam with more duration and lift would sound lumpier.

One piece simmons these days are crappier quality then cheap chinese wheels,do a search on failures. I was super close to buying a set until i did some research....

Get factory forged 20s,stronger than cheap aftermarket wheels.

How fast have you guys gone with the stock afm cam? Im talking n/a but all other mods,intake,exhaust,tune,diff gears. Over the quarter,give your best time. Just curious what times people are getting all over aus with the various tuning shops. Not interested in 6.2 litre times. Ve/vf 6.0 cheers

X force 3 inch with 1 3/4 x force extractors. Most hate x force on here but im very happy with mine. Otr is a harrop.

I did full new exhaust, tune and otr for 3 g so it can be done,tune and otr is around 1200,exhaust was close to 2g. To do it for that price you need to source and fit the exhaust yourself. If you want a popular internet loved exhaust it will be 5 g minimum:) Tbh id stay away from factory...

Totally agree,my tuned vf only made 317 rwhp on a known low reading dyno but still ran a 12.8 :)

Apparently doing wheel alignments is a black art that only rocket scientists are capable of doing.... so rare to get a good alignment these days..... Toe and go is what is passed off as an alignment these days,unless you specifaically ask for a full alignment,then you pay for it too.

Tbh mate since you are in perth just go and have a chat to john at street quick and hell set you straight,hes a no bs kind of guy who knows alot. I listened to some internet advice when i first got my vf and it cost me money......only to chase my tail($$$$$) and go along exactly with what street...

If thats the only mod you ever plan on doing then go right ahead. If youre planning on fitting extractors/high flow cats,otr/tune etc down the track then get a twin 3 inch,i wasted money getting a twin 2.5 then spent more money and then some replacing it all later..... Go and have a read of...

I def think s2 do look nicer than s1.

Id be keen to hear from a heap of members who have had brand new 6.0 engines with piston slap,so put your hands up if you have? Would have to be a heap of people to be on an even keel with the ls3,so many more 6.0 out there. The fact that ls3 owners think piston slap is acceptable is just silly...

Dont buy an ls3,good chance the motor will have issues. Even if its not noisy on startup theres a real good chance they have just put thicker oil in to quieten the piston slap or dodgy lifters,couple weeks down the track youll be regretting your purchase. Stick to a 6.0,alot less chance of...

I wouldnt drop your price,its already overly fair imo. Sometimes it takes me months to sell stuff but that one guy will come along who is looking for exactly what you have.

Looks identical to the 409 stainless system that hurricane paint matt black,worth near on 2 grand new. I think your price is cheap,stick to your guns i say,people will say anything to get it cheaper.....,i know i will to get a cheaper price!
