I bet ya yours is manual. I took mine down to perth motorplex and its a manual with full 3" exforce exhaust and mafless Duspeed OTR.......top speed was about 175km/h 60" about 2.5. 2.6 sec and the best time i could do was 13.5 sec pass. Just no traction what so ever that was with the...

I definitely wouldn't agree with you mate, especially after meeting a guy at the drags two weeks ago, who has got a ve ss auto supercharged and he reckons he went through 3 gearboxes so far, and thats with normal street driving (most of the time) Nanoxcel_ u should be fine with ur mods dough...

As title suggests i 'am after new spark plugs and leads, because it looks like my leads have been bit damaged when i had my exhaust installed. so, what brand of plugs and leads would you suggest for ve ss '08. thanks fellas

Is it manual? may sound stupid but how hard did u drive it, maybe u have burnt ur clutch. just a thought :D

Why don't you use 2jz's 6sp manual, I thought they were the most powerful standard gearboxes. I also might be wrong :D, but there are some supra's doing 9 seconds down the 1/4 with it's original gear boxes. YouTube - Jessica Barton's Supra 9.66@142 :D

+1, thats when it was stock standard, but now with the full exhaust sys and otr + mafless tune it sits @ 15.5-16L and it's M6

ok guys, after bit of research this is what i've got: lose of performance, increase in fuel consumption, bubbles in the oil, to much pressure in the system which can cause crank shaft to seize and damage to you engine and also seals to brake.....:(

yep, it's been tested first thing in the morning b4 start, and inside garage (looks flat) :)

:banstick: well, few of u guys will remember me recently posting about my tune concern :(. i didn't mention it than, but i also had a service done by those guys (oil and oil filter), and just found out that they have had overfilled it with the oil :hmmm: its about 15mm i reckon over the max...

what do u mean?

here's mine dyno sheet!

I know that buddy, and i've never complained about the figures! It's just that i've expected to be completely different experience than it is now. (major thing that i was expecting to be improved was sensitivity of the gas pedal or that initial response to the throttle) and going back to my...

I know man thats why i was a bit disappointed :)............, not many im just on my second fuel tank now.

thanks for ur input guys, im getting LH engine mount replaced today (it's cracked, so i'm not sure if that would effect dyno figures and driving experience) but i might take it down to motorplex 2nite and see how it goes in a real world :). Also, any suggestions on what spark plugs to use 'coz...

yes, i do. it's 1 3/4" extractors with hi-flow cats and dual 3" (x-force) done by House of Power, and now mafless duspeed otr done by MCE Motorsport (Mainline Dyno)

I just need ur opinion on this guys, just had my otr + mafless tune done i thought its all good 'coz the numbers 252rwkw and 623nm of torque. :( well im not that impressed to be honest, when i drive it it just feels like its missing something ( or maybe i was just expecting to much) :D...

Mate, how did u go with your tune? is't sorted yet? i can see u r from perth, give a call to MCE motorsport buddy, they r doing nice job just had my duspeed mafless done by them 262kwrw and 623nm,(mainline dyno) and good thing is most of their cars if not all of them r holden's and hsv's, so i...

XForce 1 7/8" Stainless Steel Headers | 3" Stainless Steel Cat Back | 3" Varex Mufflers | Orrosom OTR Intake - It might be because of those Varex f...rs that u've got, I've heard nothing but **** about them. When my baby girl was born i thought of replacing rear mufflers to Varex ones, but when...

Hey man, just wondering what did you use to clean ur engine bay and do u need to cover any of the electronics?? Thanks

The one u r after mate it used to be the same for ss and ssv, till the end of 2007 when it was discontinued for the ss range, and then around the end of 2008 i believe it was also discontinued on ssv range, and now both ss and ssv use the same spoiler as sv6 but bit higher than sv6 one. Im...

honestly man, i think u r on wrong place, 'coz i haven't seen many of your posts that back up actual holden (if any) but lately all of them saying how xr6t is way better then holden v8's

B4 I had my exhaust done, I spoke to my dealer about losing the warranty and he told me clearly that everything on my car will still be covered by warranty, other than the exhaust system it self, reseting any codes caused by removing O2 sensor or if ur car catches on fire and it gets proved that...

They look good man, but if u can get them 20" staggered it will look sick, so u end up with the bigger dish at the back!

Has anyone heard of Sumitomo Z111? According to my local tyre shop it is made by Dunlop and its suppose to be better then Bridgestone R050, which he showed me some independent tyre testing article. I've got set of those on my car now, it cost me around $300, so far so good.

????????????????????? mate, in your original post you said you are going to drop it 2950mm which is nearly 3 meters :@, so read troy's comment again :D

Man, I just had mine done (new clutch assembly, new/revised clutch and new/revised flywheel) she drives like a new one :) I'm lovin it. So, if your car is still under warranty i would take it in, even if its not i would still take it in, there is nothing to lose :) Mind you, i had same...

Man honestly I don't think its worth it (replacing the SS headers with the HSV ones) I read it somewhere not long time ago that someone did exactly the same thing and he had the same dyno figures bf and after!

+1, There should of been some sort of ruling on when should you be eligible for the car replacement for unlucky ppl like yrself TinSnips, u pay good money for that car and then spending next 18 months in f.....g around. :( Fer enough THEY r trying to solve those issues out...

Congrats on your new car mate, I just sat in one today ss 6sp Man and it looks much better then series 1. It would be very nice buy!!! Does anyone know if they have improved manual gearbox, because changing gears in that car today felt a lot smoother but at the same time was engaging gears much...

well radio head unit has been replaced, but my f..... fan isn't working now :(( NOT HAPPY!! At least they said they will replace my clutch (diagnose it first, and than whatever holden decides to do) service dude reckons sometimes they replace clutch pedal only :( but most of the time they put...

Im going in 2moro to replace front part of the radio unit (some software F*^$ up) so i will let them know about the clutch. See how we gonna go! :D

I would just recommend not to go with massive cam if its ur daily drive, my mate had one lumpy as F*&^ (not sure of specs) and it was bit of nightmare for every day car :(

I just experienced sticky clutch situation the other day + i think i halved motherf@#$%r :(((.Dropped it into second gear and gave it bit of squirt (3/4+) and i realized my car wasn't accelerating, at this point I already could smell that unpleasant plasticky flavour :((( tried to push clutch...

OK, this is what i have been told about exhausts. If u r doing full exhaust system with OTR and tune u wanna know what do u want to achieve, if u r chasing big power for drags go for 3", but if u r chasing car that is nice and more responsive at low rpm range go for the mix of 3" and 2.5" (APC...

not bad man, but wouldn't mind seeing more photos of that front bumper. Thumbs up!!

Im with u on this one VEESSV, Ive got 4in1 headers with ceramic hi-flow cats and dual 3" no probs. How do u find Varex Mufflers? I thought of putting cams in and replacing mufflers to those varex ones, but dude from performance shop told me not to 'coz apparently they sound like BIG WET FART :(((

Man, that's one awesome ride you have got there. That is my dream car rite there 1000hp+ mmm.........

I doubt you will hit 270 :(, maybe if u had 3" instead of 2.5", but you shouldn't be to far away from 270 mark anyway. nice car by the way :)

Hey mate can u tell us how did u go with that otr and tune, r u happy with it?
