    HSV SENATOR 5000i

    Does anyone reckon that early low build HSV's...VNs and VPs in good condition would be a collectable in 20 or so years time?

    Should chirp into second no worries :)

    HSV SENATOR 5000i

    Ours does have roller rockers and a cam but they are not 4 bolt mains. The left over 4 bolt main bottom ends were used on the GTS's and the Clubsport 5000i's only. I think the fith anniversarys were painted in galaxy blue.

    These will be worth something I reckon in ten or so years time.

    HSV SENATOR 5000i

    The original ones certainly look much better imo.

    Ah yeah true, but it still isn't intaking cold air from the outside of the car though.

    Here's a photo of mine, totally standard. I took a photo of the interior...the seats are in pretty good nick eh?

    Series 1 and 2 VP Calais

    I had a series 1 vp calais and that was standard in that. Door handles were colour coded too I think.

    Series 1 and 2 VP Calais

    ABS I think. Pretty much everything else was unchanged in the Calais?

    304 injected.....questions

    I've got the 200kw V8 in a VP Senator. I know it's only a 2 bolt main, but what things has it got, is it a good and well built motor?

    How many Km's on your VN/VP?

    Yeah you're right, I found an old VP HSV book. All models except for the 200kw motors had a manual option. The 200kw motors had too higher torque for the T5. Which meant all GTS's were auto's only :cry:

    How many Km's on your VN/VP?

    I don't think any HSV's in the VP range got a manual because they didn't have one strong enough? Other than the motor upgrade, you got the interior (which is bloody nice), pretty good suspension setup, wheels and the body kit.

    How many Km's on your VN/VP?

    Yeah you hardly see many VPs around full stop these days. With the Senator, you get a whole lot of car at such a cheap price, it's fantastic!

    Oh ok. Couple of shots of the motor bay. It's quite clean actually.

    Found My Pride And Joy

    I was shocked to find my VL gone last Saturday...even more shocked to have it recovered two days later. Being the car it is...see avator...I would've thought it'd be in pieces, or had been rebirthed. The guy from the tow yard suggested I buy a tatts ticket! Only damage was the entry point...

    There's one more new car VE owner out there buying a repaired smash

    That sort of stuff goes on in every industry. It only sucks when you get done over yourself...other than that no one gives two hoots!

    New Grange, Is it the BMW 5 series killer?

    I'm in the market for a '00 E39 M5, and they're realatively cheap now considering they were sold new close to 200K. Even for a six year old car they're remarkably awesome. Have features you could only dream of, and you'd be amazed by just how smooth and powerfull the 4.9lt motor is. My...

    Post Pictures of your VL here.

    Yes, that's right with the plates. Considering I've got the two VL's, I've been in two minds as to whether I'd sell the turbo. With regards to handling and and general wear, well the Walki is miles ahead but gee, I've owned the turbo for well over eleven years and I've grown to really love...

    VE's Cruise Spied In Melbourne

    Holden's head office is located behind the servo.

    You don't need to tell me about depreciation on cars...it's a fact of life. Cruel though and yes it sucks but I suppose that the only advantage of a buying your own car new is that you get to chose everything that you want, colour etc., rather than getting close to what you want when you trying...

    I work beside Holden in Port Melbourne. Saw about four SSV's in a row pull out and head to the freeway. These cars look unreal, sound awesome. I just can't seem to work out how to fudge the home budget in order to at least afford the loan repayments on one :(

    SS/SS V 0-100km/h time

    They're a bloody quick family car aren't they...and not that expensive when comparing against similar imports.

    VE Commodore - What do you think?

    Really you need to see these in the flesh before anyone can judge em! Really, this is the same old banter that was said about the VT when it was first released. I was going to buy a FPV F6...but an old mate who's an engineer over at Elizabeth and has been saying since late last year to...

    First Naked Ve Pics!!!!

    The VY and VZ look instantly dated too don't you reckon...specially when you get the chance to see both side by side in the flesh.

    First Naked Ve Pics!!!!

    What does everyone think about the fender vents being included in other models other than the SS? Fender vents...shouldn't they be left for the sportier cars of their line up?

    radar detector

    All overseas detectors work fine here in Aus. Newer one's can be selected to turn off certain frequencies. For example you can shut off X band so you don't have to deal with it going off everytime you go past automatic doors and the like. If you're on the East coast then all detectors are...

    headlights flash on their own

    Full on...never heard of that one. Has at some point your fuse box been melted? Possibly check for a short under the fuses or maybe there was a smash at the front and it's squashed the loom thus creating a short.

    km on speedo not working

    Simply remove your cluster and send to an instrument specialist. They'll give it a going over, replace damaged cogs and check for speedo accuracy etc.
