The VE and VF utes are totally useless if you want to carry a load. The load capacity is low They drag in the ass at only half capacity Tie down points are terriable(compared to a tray back) The floor area of the VE/VF utes is quite small and the wheels wells get in the way. I have the last...

I will be calling around this morning. Don't actually have a part number. Does anyone have the part number??

Thanks, I don't like my chances on a sunday!

I was just giving the car a once over before we leave on Monday for holidays and realised my front brake pads need replacing. I have a 2010 SV6 with 4 spot Brembos. The silver ones(pull offs) Can anyone suggest a good pad - good braking and low dust?? Also does anyone know where to get...

I agree mate. You don't have to have a V8, don't listen to these guys. People were saying the same thing 20 years ago when the V8s had 165kw back in the VR/VS days. The VE SV6 has 210kw and would easily beat the old V8. Power isn't everything. Be happy with what you have got. If the guy is...

I have a 2010 SV6 Sidi wagon with the 6 speed auto. Has anyone serviced the auto themselves?? I have serviced many autos on VT and VY 6 and 8s but haven't done the new VEs yet. Any help would be appreciated!

I have had two sets of 452s on a VE sportswagon and now a set of 453s. The are both brilliant tyres, wet and dry!

452s have been replaced with 453s

Any mechanic could do it. Its very simple work!

Don't bother with the HSV stuff. Your far better putting in an aftermarket amp and speakers

He probably isn't. It really depends on the type of driving your doing. We own a VE SV6 SIDI and it averaged 7.8L per 100 over 2700k of driving up to QLD and back!!! BUT around town my wife cant get any better than 16L per 100 but its a lot of stop start driving and an average of only...

No, I emailed him and he said he had quite a few of them. But if they are no longer making the 452 then that might be why.

I am up for a new set of tyres on my VE and came across these on ebay FALKEN 245/35R20 96Y FK452 (245-35-20 Inch Tyre) - 2453520 **PREMIUM RANGE** | eBay I have had these tyres before but always from a decent tyre outlet. Has anyone used this seller or know why they are so cheap?

The Mace tune is custom it just doesnt use a dyno. How about asking exactly what you want and not be rude when someone tries to help you!

Really why?? I have the same car and there are a number of 80k roads around me that 6th gear works perfectly well on. No bogging down or problems at all.

The VE has been around since 2006 and a head unit change has always been like this. I have done it myself and its not that hard. There is a wealth of imformation out there. Google is your friend!

I am really interested

I put an 18mm MDF spacer behind my speakers. I used Focal K2s and highly recomend them. I also highly suggest you buy a bulk pack of dynamat and do the door skins.

We do about 15-20 600km plus trips a year. My wife does a bit of the driving and I would prefer to make it as easy and safe as possible. I also dont like the idea of the kids heads/necks angled up to the roof for along time. In the back of the headrest solved all the problems and it look good to!

Totally agree. Thats why I ended up doing it myself.

My car is a series 1 but the concept is the same. Check out the pictures in this thread http://forums.justcommodores.com.au/ve-holden-commodore-2006/149143-my-ve-sv6-sidi.html I personally hate roof mounted screens as you loose your rear vision mirror and I agree that the screens that strap on...

There could be many reasons, they do alot of towing, want the added saftey of a good set of brakes, like the look of them. Lets face it the standard brakes that come on an SV6 are ****. Keep in mind mate that you dont need good brakes when racing in a straight line:idea3: Some of use like...

I have an SV6 head unit for sale if your interested. I personally wouldnt wast my time with the SV6 headunit though. I fitted a Calais headunit to my SV6. So much better.

You can have a child in the front seat of a sedan aslong as all the back seats are taken by kids.

I personally dont think you have tried hard enough! If you walked into any holden dealer they could order them for you and have them there the same day!

+1 have them on both my cars and love them!

Not being a smart ass but have you used the search button?? There are heaps of threads on the questions you have asked!

Let us know how you go with the tune and if it makes any difference to the econemy. Who is doing it for you??

You people that say its way too much without asking further questions have NFI. It really depends on the type of city driving you are doing!! What some people call city driving is not even close to what I do. I live in sydney and do all of my travel in the stop start peak hours and average...

I removed the manifold off my VZ V6 commodore two days ago and didnt have any problems at all removing that bolt. I was using a 1/2 inch socket set and it came out without any problems. What have you tried?

I replaced the spark plugs in my VZ commodore yesterday and it was very easy. It took about 40minutes to do in total. As has already been said you need to remove all the manifold bolts and lift it slightly to allow you to remove the coilpacks and plugs.

Its not a problem for me to do either but what if you have an accident or want to put the car back to standard for sale? Thats why I decided to use the silver brembos as they are straight bolt up not mods required!

Are you talking about the black plastic engine cover?? The manifold is underneath and is alloy on my VE SV6

If you do some reasarch on this fourm and a couple of others all the info is out there! I personal wouldnt fit the brakes pictured in the above photo as you have to drill the mounting holes out on your car. I fitted the silver brembos which dont require any modding at all. Straight bolt on!

They do all the time! Its not like your rebuilding the engine with go fast bits. Its just a tune!

So pick up the phone and call a performance shop. Call a few of them and ask the same questions. You will get answers from professionals. Your beating around the bush with all your threads and questions. Your getting no where and looking like a fool doing it!

You have no idea. Stop wasting your time and our time and put your car back to stock!

Yes, try the search button. Heaps of threads on this.

That would all work with a series one ute too. People have been doing it for ages!
