Hi guys, just wondering if anyone else is running a full sureflo system in there ve. I have a dual 3 catback but would love to hear what its like with their extractors and the 5" body ballastic racing cats. There systems are a bit differnet sound wise to alot on the market. Very deep, only way I...

im in the same boat, simple solution. I THINK its rhino rack (double check on AKFF forums) but it actually comes right down from the towbar, its like a removeable rear rack , you put the nose on and push up and then the rear ladder goes up and the kayak goes onto the front sports bars. When your...

hi guys...just debating whether I should put a tiny cam in my ve ss.... I have a dual 3" catback with 4 to 1 1/8th headers and a pod cai.... everyones telling me the exhaust is way to big for a stockish car like that... Ive also been thinking about putting in a small cam. Nothing outrageous...

Actually this is VERY nice and I like the case. I can easily take this too the track to do pretty much everything. Ill be working on my VE ute... everything from changing tailshafts to dropping exhausts down.....and this looks like it can do everything. plus is kinchrome. Looks like ill be...

Hi guys my fuel around town is up to 27.3l/100km I'm shifting gears just under 2000rpm and never chuck it into 5 or 6 unless I'm on the freeway ??? I'll do the occaisinal hit now and again but I don't drive outrageous. Car has a catback and it has a walkinshaw pod intake. 2011 ssv redline ute...

I already have a sureflo dual 3" catback. The headers are 4 into 1 7/8s with 5" ballistic cats . I hope it also helps from the sound department in high revs too . it seems to loose is v8 growl from inside the cabin from what I can tell when over 4000rpm. I'd like it a tiny bit louder and more...

And this goes for the rears too? Ute with no load?

Hi guys just about to bolt up some 4 into 1 headers and some 5 inch body 100cpi cats. To my aftermarket dual 3" catback... The stock pipes I'm looking at are so damn small coming off my redline ute... Shame Holden... Will I be feeling much more of a power increase after installation? I have...

Hi guys I have a ss redline I do not carry any loads in it. Stock rims tyre size is. 245 40 19. I'd just like to know what to run to get better handling and traction on the city streets and track now and again.. I've always always run 4psi higher than the tyres are matched as I was told at 16 at...

It's pretty just much for home use on my ve ss nothing more really do I really need a whole toolkit? I have a 1/4 drive set... Do I need a 1/2 drive now and a 3/8 as well? Do I even bother with imperial? No idea what to do... My mate does a lot of work on his jap racer with only his 33 piece...

Hi guys well after borrowing mates tools to work on my ve ss I want my own. I am unsure of what drive sockets to get ? I was thinking a big sidchrome 33pc 1/2 drive metric set? Which I used with matching spanners pretty much to replace my tailshaft 2 days ago and drop whole exhaust... I think...

I've been there personally my ve is way ahead. Forget power wise it's just the feel .. Steering and body and chassis .... Way ahead mate. Trust me Wouldn't go back to a vy in a chance now.

It's my first manual I've had in 9 years. Cut me some slack . Live in learn hey... Car is still in pieces the rubber coupling is completely destroyed and tailshaft was pretty much nearly snapped in half .. Centrebearing and both end bearings on shaft are non existent. If I was to drop...

I'd be interested to know what practice is it known to do a mechanical sympathy burnout in your car ? Let's hear the safe process ? What revs to aim for? Is it never safe to bounce off a limiter even though I can get the rears spinning at 4000rpm? And then bounce? Or shift to second while on...

I guess it wasn't normal conditions of me redlining and smashing the clutch out in 1st... It's a second hand car it has 40 thousand kays ... I drive mediumish I don't really smash her around everywhere and light it up and every single car park I see. I'm no grandpa with her by any means... It's...

Oh and power wise has a walkinshaw pod intake and custom sureflo catback unsure of power but is quite considerably quick comparing to friends cars with extractors and tune. But it's quite small power to be breaking tailshafts ?? Im guessing maybe 240rkw? Very dissapointed. Is there anything I...

Ok boys it was the rubber coupling completely smashed out breaking 6 high tensile bolts and then my tailshaft is complete stuffed centre bearing and both end bearings I managed to get to the wreckers and get the tailshaft and coupling and new bolts from Holden 500 bucks so far. It's jacked in my...

Hi guys I was at the lights about to take off next thing I hear this almighty bang and it just starts clunking . The car can move in neutral however when started and in gear it will not budge and has this very loud horrid clunking sound. I have no idea where to tow it to next if it is the diff...

using e85 gives more power.. Get a tune with it and you will definaltley see a difference. I do know in jap cars... my mate 180sx is an animal when he got e85 and had supported tune.... really rich and spits flames

I actually have a SS inductions. Walkinshaw branded POD CAI. I find the sound is way better over an OTR. Thing can get much louder and sounds better than any OTR ive heard IMHO. Do a thread search on a thread I had up about otr vs pod. PIRATE did a fantastic write up about pod vs otr and how...

I find the front brembos in my redline ample enough. Huge stopping power with some good pads.. Unless your making huge power, Or going for crazy track times id say go for it. I believe there is covers you can get if you want the rear to look like the fronts... cheers

Hi mate sureflo exhaust in ingleburn(NSW). Does a thing called "cheater tubes" they are 75 each and what they do is they mimmick what a cat does... Because your cat is damaged and throwing the code (just like highflow cats will). This is your best option. Give them a ring they will ship to you ...

Hi guys... Just about to get my car tuned... Has full exhasut and intake.... Im running a dual tune on both 98 premium and e85 fuel. Redline comes stock with e85. I read somewhere about using special spark plugs for e85 so can someone recommend some? this is what the NGK search revealed Your...
