Got my wheels and tyres on! Apparently, no-one in Perth stocks wheel nuts for the VE. It's ridiculous. I went to almost every car / auto shop & every tyre shop I could find and not anyone had. By some magical fluke, I found Wheels World in Osborne Park. Cannot recommend John out there enough...

ok... the video is up. The youtube tags aren't working at the moment (maybe i'm just being stupid... who knows) so here's the link; YOOTOOB Here's the dyno sheet.

Video is busy uploading. I'll post the link to it once it's done. I'll also post the dyno sheet... In another story - 4 of these magical boxes arrived today too... Inside.... a giant black hair net... Under the giant black hair net... Close up of the spokes and that... Another close...

The Ute came out of the shop today. IT'S F@#ING AWESOME! Came out to 320rwkw. It's beatiful to drive, idle makes me wet - i can't stop smiling. What I can say though, anyone looking to have something done to their car? Go see John Lloyd @ Street Quick Performance. You will not regret it. Top...

The full 3" system, with ceramic coated headers is $4155, plus freight. Then fitting and tuning. so it's not a cheap exercise - but the quality of the gear and KPM's customer service makes it easier to swallow (imo anyway). As for WA Perf, Don't let me put you off him. There are ALOT of...

righteo. I have ordered a set of wheels out of the USA. 4x 19" MRR GT-7's. Planning on running 255s up front and 285s out the back. Also, the ute is booked in to get the cam done on the 11th - 13th of July. It's before tyres will be on - but i'll just have to deal with it. Will post pics /...

haha. I have. that's something else I will have to investigate. It's a bit wild as it is now in the wet - but I'll just have to behave myself :( Actually while i'm here - whats the widest tyre i can fit under the back of these utes? Do I have to change wheels or can i keep them the same?

Thanks! I don't like to "bash" tuners or anyone online, it's a little unfair I think - but since you asked, i'll give you my experiences. I went to WA Performance. Excellent guy, with pretty good service. I did have a few issues though. they fit the KPM system for me, but didn't care to...

The OTR went in about 3 weeks ago, along with the mafless tune. It's soo nice now. Smooth, and when it picks up revs it takes off. Awesome to drive now. Looking @ cam options at the moment (figure while it's getting serviced next, might as well get a new cam & clutch put in). Here are...

I haven't heard anything about being able to mafless tune the SII yet... being holidays and all not many people are around. I will be following it up in the new year, and will let you all know how it goes. cheers

The exhaust went in the other day. Sadly, the Series II cannot be mafless tuned just yet, so the OTR went it - but came out shortly after. Apparently the software update to mafless tune the series II is only a short time away. Power Runs; Stock Run - 270 rwhp Exhaust & Stock Airbox...

Today, this massive box arrived... Inside it.... Headers1 Headers2 Some absolutely MAGNIFICENT welding Mid section Cat Dog I can take some more pictures of the exhaust if anyone wants - but make your requests quickly... it goes in on...

Right-o Had the first service done yesterday. Slim line weather shields went on - and so did the towbar (was supposed to be on at delivery) Just before that - my DuSpeed OTR & Infill panel arrived...

You Really think so? I actually really like them. Not only from an aesthetics point of view - but they are also much nicer for directing air around the cabin. I don't always like having the air blowing in my face, and in the old ute, i could never make those front vents blow up higher than...

are you drunk? lol jk. Nice VE mate, very impressive.

they are definitely fake. Sadly, in the last post - if you look at the section this "twin turbo" is in... Car, Truck Parts -> Cooling Systems -> Other. Nice try - but not enough attention to detail :(

Not really. I format everything in NTFS, because i'm often moving large ISO's around. FAT32 has max file size of 4gb... which means an 8gb ISO of a dual layer DVD doesn't go so good on FAT32. Anyway - if it can only read FAT32, that's the issue. thanks again.

just out of curiosity - how the hell do you get the IQ to play stuff on a USB stick? I have a 16gb USB stick that I put a bunch of music on (simply for the benefit of this thread :)) and it said "USB Stick is Empty"..... am I missing something?

Thanks everyone - I love it to bits. They can... just only on the Sedan for some reason. Go figure... I ordered the KPM Full 3" exhaust today, and Duspeed has already shipped my OTR. It goes in for it's 3000k "service" next week and then most likely the following week, all these bits will go...

of course... very true.

Something else to "ponder"; Your dvd player etc all have power on still when you can resume. If you pull the plug out the wall - i can almost guarantee that it won't still have the resume feature. Not to mention, if you take the dvd out of the player and put it back in (effectively what you are...

utes pull chicks... wait, you are a chick. It all depends really. The ute uses more fuel (according to holden's specs) than the Sedan, having said that - it's not a huge amount. i have the ute because i have to cart big boxes around for work sometimes... but love it because it means i don't...

Sell it instead... use the cash for mods :)

the internet is available in 3d now? wowow! haha - i am quite easily pleased...

Being a computer tech - the holden guy is partially right. It has nothing to do with the available memory though. Like Hellsoldier said - it will read from the very beginning of the USB stick everytime it tries to read. A computer does this by default, the IQ system is just another computer...

those rims give me a full bar:rockon: Very nice mate, very nice indeed.

awesome! the race stripes don't normally do anything for me - but like VooDooWagon said - they really suit that colour. Looks tops mate.

Here is my new VEII SS Ute. In the pictures she is bog stock. Current Mods; Tint Aerial off Mazda CX7 to replace horse whip Reverse Sensors (dealer attempted to get them done during manufacturing, but no such luck on the utes, so they bought me these and had them fitted free) "SS"...

sadly, you'll just have to get used to the wait. i had a 2 month wait on my VEII SS (delivered 10th November). It does make the delivery date just that much sweeter though. You will love it... guaranteed :)

MY VEII SS doesn't play my ipod from the very beginning each time. I have an ipod nano plugged into it... If i remove the ipod from the usb, take it inside and then go plug it back in again - it starts from the beginning... but if i just leave it in the centre console, plugged in the whole...

I would say it would be hard to retro fit the SII head unit into the old ones. The actual screen itself may fit - but there is also hard buttons down the sides that would have to go in. It would be an interesting job for anyone who was willing to try it - but I dare say it would be a...

I have the GPS kit in my VEII. It's really awesome. When you turn the car on - it is automatically turned on as well (so it will always keep track of where you are, so you can quickly enable guidance if you get lost :surprise: ) It keeps up to date with my position really well. And the nice...

not completely, since the ECU is torque based - but you can get it a stackload better.

Thanks for the suggestions. I took it into the warranty joint and they kept it for 3 weeks replaced a bunch of parts in it and gave it back. Been working fine ever since. dakman - my amp is wired up using the high input into the amp. I don't get any engine noise etc through the speakers. It...

the CPR6 has come down in price from what i know. I got a quote from the 4th of March stating it is $1900 plus GST (plus freight). $2090 inc GST plus freight. Not cheap - but not bad either.

hmm.... my amp has chucked it in. There are 2 x 25amp fuses in the back of it. The minute i turn the car on... it blows both these fuses. I have checked the inline fuse on the power lead, not blown. Checked all the cabling - appears fine. The only thing i can think is that the amp is cactus...

Thanks. It is wired up as you show in your diagram. Like 2loud2old said - i want the trigger to be off the radio, rather than off the ACC to the car. Currently, if i turn the radio off - because the amp is still powered on i get a bit of noise through the speakers. Nothing major though. It's...

All installed. Haven't taken any pics - but will take some of the Sub, just to post up for ****s and giggles. Sounds awesome. Very very impressed with it. At the moment though - the amp is being powered from an "ACC" power, I am thinking about moving it over to the same power source as the...

The install will be done this saturday. I will post up how it goes. Thanks.

thanks for your help everyone. I will certainly disconnect the centre speaker Enforcer_001. I figured out that it is a rubbish speaker by moving the balance to the left or the right only... and those speakers don't seem to struggle as bad as the centre. I have purchased the Pioneer Amp...
