Yes I did remove the globvebox (one hard yank... basically) and I did use the DOC connector for power, B+, earth, I then hid the power adaptor behind the L/H dash end cover and tucked the wiring behing the a-pillar trim and along the front of the headlining trim until the point where I mounted...

Removing the A-Pillar trim is not actually needed, of you remove the rubber pinch mold along the door edge, you can easily tuck the wiring behind there without actual removal!! The dash end cover on glove box side has tons of room for battery saver (I am running the Blackvue variety), and it...

I have just bought a Blackvue DR650GW-1CH Car camera, it also has the Power magic Pro Battery discharge prevention device. Id love to see the pics of where you hid all of the unit, and how you ran the wires up the A-pillar. I was looking for the wiring connections for B+ and RAP, so your post...

Its normally the relay because Holden even released a Techline on this one as they had heaps of this occuring! By chance did you start the car and switch it off again, the BCm may have hung up too locking the fault in. Cheers Richo

Yes there is a replaceable globe in the VY Clubby Fog Lights, access is **** but there is one in there. cheers Richo

I didnt probably get that out exactly, right...I had been through that list (which is the V6 one) plus a different sheet for the V8 Calais/Berlina 110-200 packs and it does have some of the stuff from a few different packs but does not exactly line up with any particular one exactly. So I was...

It is definately NOT one of the SV 50-200 range, I have that sheet already and although yes some features may be on the car it isnt one of these models for 100%

Right..thats pretty cool, now next question where can I find out info/specs on one of these or cant ya??? Would be great to have some info....

G'day, My mate has picked up a SV Calais and we are trying to get some info on what it may be... I have seen this car now and its quite interesting....its a two-tone Alpine White Calais, with that Pinky coloured lower half/bumpers. It has the 200KW SV5000 Engine im pretty sure due to...

On my VY II R8 285KW Clubby, 6 Spd Manual (factory) 3.7 Diff , I can get down to 6.8 - 7.0 L/100 km sitting on constant 100km/H or even at 110Km/H over long trips. I went from Sunbury to Phillip Island (150 Km or so) the other week and I averaged 8.2L/100 but that included some road works and...

Sorry for the reaction then buddy, I was thinking those Ebay Plastic "Brembo" Caliper covers....its amazzing how many I have seen about lately

WTF why would anyone wanna Look like they have brakes that can stop the car... I have the Harrop Premiums 343x32mm on the VYII R8 and it actually does stop well....... I wouldnt care if they looked crap (even though IMO the Harrops lok great)... why someone would want a car that had "Fake...

This is the best way I have found to get rid of glazing also...nice and easy and works great!

Buy an Acclaim or higher.....dont even bother!!! IMO Totally not worth the effort.

Yeah I had mine done free too, I was getting a service done and said could you please enable the Police mode while Tech 2 is hooked up...no dramas at all.

Senator is based on Calais specs, and R8 Clubsport is based on Berlina specs with Climate control etc, Clubsport is more like an SS I guess but has way more stuff!

That is the list in order of "Luxury"....As far as power goes in the VY model, it was GTS with the most power at 300KW, then Grange/Signature's/Senators/R8's and Clubsports all had exactly same power output at 285KW for series 2 and 260KW for series 1 VY. I think the GTS was possibly also the...

If you go up by more than 2 inches over a rim diameter that was offered on that particular model then you need a Engineering report. So, If there was a HSV with 19" rims offered on your model then you should be able to put 21" Rims on without an Engineering report in theory, which obvioously...

It sounds as if If you only filled the reservoir, If so you wouldnt have possibly topped the radiator right up! Basically yuou need to fill the radiator and bleed the engine to get rid all of the air, then top up the reservoir...If the water still drops its level then you have an issue/ leak if...

Hi, I was wondering what is supposed to light up (with headlights on) on my VS Clubsport? Most stuff lights up, but I have no backlighting on the parker's/headlight switch, on the demister switch or on my power antenna switches near stereo. Do these normally light up??? Cheers Richo

A second hand cam would already have a fair amount of wear on it I am tipping, plus all of the bearing surfaces have bedded in to that motor, and NOT yours meaning you could end up with big dramas there. Second hand extractors or exhaust can be worthwhile for power and costs less, just check em...

I believe the one pointing up is the fog light connection. It is a bit hard to see but if that plug is just behind the Drivers side head light that would be it!. The other two pin plug rolled up a bit actually looks like tghe fusible link connection, my VS has one that is connected, but my VN...

I mean that the throttle plate (butterfly) inside the throttle body stays partially opened (or 'Cracked') by a little more than usual. It will never be fully closed at Idle but it will come very close. By adjusting the throttle stop screw it adjusts the butterfly open more or closed more...

I did that to my Clubby the other week, I actually picked up the revs on mine a bit, that screw works for sure but the IAC solenoid will adjust the RPM back to around 800 RPM roughly after a few seconds. The screw lets the throttle plate stay cracked a little, and it made mine run a lot...

I arent being rude but lairy coloured interiors in Commodores looks very cheap for my taste and I arent a fan...... but hey each to their own i say too. I guess it comes down to whatever floats ya boat.

There are two small hoses 1/2 inch approx where you are talking on the v8'S (possibly V6 same) which are the fuel feed lines to the fuel rail. I reckon they would be what you are talking about because they are in a crappy position right there

My VS Clubsport 5litre (Auto) is going well on fuel compared to some of these other figures... I only ever use BP 98 Ultimate fuel. I am long term averaging around 11.4 litres/100km over 2000km + distance without a trip computer reset, this is a mix of sludging round town and 20km sprints to...

I have been really slack, I have known about this fix for a while but haven't done it as yet....:bang: You guys are convincing me to get my finger out!!

The NGK part number you quote is the NGK R plugs with the V-Cut that I use.... like I said above they have been good!!! Gaps are supposed to be only 1.0mm on a V8

My car still showed fuel used, Inst l/100km, etc etc when it was playing up, the speedo needle was the only thing showing wrong! Oh and the Cruise control would not hold in.... That was the gearbox end fault.

I have a single 3" Mandrel bent system from single cat and Genuine HSV extractors (single cat and HSV extractors arent perfect but are ok). I am running a hot dog style muffler in the centre and no rear muffler. The car sounds tuff as, but is not too noisy but has an awesome note and good...

I like the NGK R spark plugs...... I have run them for a few different make and model cars and they have performed well on all of them. Good life span and car performs fine too using them!!

My VS Clubby is missing quite badly from 2500 RPM upwards and under load as well. It is worse when the weather is hot or after driving for 1/2 hour. The car also feels like it is constantly down on power but maybe thats me dreaming?? Has anyone experienced this as I believe it may be my coil...

Hall effect sensor, is the crank angle sensor on a V8......... if its dead it wont start as the ecu has no idea where the pistons are etc.

My father in law had a series II VS, S-Pack ute with 5 Litre fitted factory.

I had the same as this on my VN CAlais, (same system basically) and it was a wire nearly broken off from the speed sensor on the gear box. I managed to repair it really well with a soldering Iron takes 10 minutes to remove it from the gear box (have a rag handy to stuff into the hole to catch...

Holden had the car all day Thursday and still cant get to the bottom of this one......they suggested I did not have Genuine plugs and leads but I have new NGK R's and Bosch leads fitted which are probably better than Genuine anyway???? anyone know a good diagnostic bloke in Melbourne???

I have a VS Clubsport also, and i use the same oil witha genuine Holden oil filter (cheaper than RYCO, and Genuine). I change the oil every 7500 to 10,000km depeending on how keen I am and how I have been driving...I have 190,00km on ODO and oil is still clean at each change and I never need any...
