    Windscreen replacement or repair

    Hey guys, I have putting this off for a few years purely because I can't be arsed following up the options, car has now hit 160k KMs so I figure it's about due. My redline has fairly significant sandblasting on the windshield and I'm curious as to know whether others have had this replaced...

    Low reading Dyno or something a miss?

    Very slow on the reply here, but thank you all for the insights, went back to my tuner with a few changes and managed to pick up a few bits of information. Replaced the hsv340 headers and factory cats with xforce 1 7/8 headers with 100cel cats and replaced the have midsection with S2 bi modals...

    Low reading Dyno or something a miss?

    Torque sitting at about 475 (W)(nm) my brain doesn't know how to translate this.. unfortunately tuner had left for the day when I picked up the car so I didn't get a chance to ask questions. But yes it's a 6.0

    Low reading Dyno or something a miss?

    By no means expecting numbers like indeed on Facebook.. 350kw from a OTR, pipes and stick seems a bit happy. 280-290 was where I was kind of expecting the numbers to be as well, need to take it back to look at the warm start so I'll ask a few questions then.

    Low reading Dyno or something a miss?

    Not by a massive margin if I'm honest. Partner says she can feel a difference but she's been in it maybe a handful of times this year. Given the two tunes were done by the same tuner on the same dyno I expected the numbers to be on the lower side, but just on +10% for a cam seems low

    Low reading Dyno or something a miss?

    Howdy Had my S1 redline tuned about 2 years ago with OTR and hsv340 headers into HSV catback which resulted in 245ish kw. Just had VCM532 added with DOD delete and landed on 269.2kw. Due to some miscommunication we didn't change the cats and still sitting on the standard HSV cats, but numbers...

    Anyone running the above setup? Currently have 340 headers with hsv mid and Baillie tips, looking at a cam later in the year.

    Dyno tunes LS3

    Have the same on my car minus the high flow cats on an L77, got 245kw up from 212kw I think. Might need to look into the cats and triple check mid section diameter.

    HVAC haywire after dyno tune

    Cars parked up for the next few weeks hopefully but will suss it out. Never had an issue with it and probably only adjusted it a dozen times in nearly 3 years. Thanks for the advice fellas, will report back when diagnosed

    HVAC haywire after dyno tune

    Might have a look in the settings, I know there's a section for cabin air quality etc. Not sure what they may have touched under the bonnet given it was just OTR and infils, I'll see if I can notice anything loose.

    HVAC haywire after dyno tune

    Right, so odd one.. Car went in for OTR and tune mid week (made 244rwkw for those wondering), and since then the car has been great. But I have noticed the HVAC now seems incapable to maintain temperature. I think I've had it on auto and 23 degrees for the last year which has always been...

    Dyno tunes LS3

    Mate you're focussing on the wrong number, as everyone has said your 298rwkw means nothing without knowing the baseline. If the baseline from Sam's read 245kw then your gain of 53rwkw is compareable to everyone elses relative tunes. As a few people have said there are multiple factors that...

    Shortened Shocks: Options and recomendations

    Might give the guys at shockworks a call, will be round the corner from them next week for otr and tune. Warrick I heard the FSD struts are fairly compliant compared to FE3, how much of a drop are the eibach springs?

    Shortened Shocks: Options and recomendations

    As the title suggests, looking for some options and recomendations for shortened shocks. Will be looking to put SSL or equivalent springs in my SSVR wagon.

    Which shocks should I get for my VF Redline?

    Ah right, makes sense. Hard to find reviews from others running the konis in a VF so appreciate the insight

    Which shocks should I get for my VF Redline?

    Hmm disappointing, wonder if it's a combination of fsd shocks and those springs causing a soft ride. Ride height wouldn't be an issue for me but I'll have a look into it, cheers!

    Which shocks should I get for my VF Redline?

    @426Cuda keen to know roughly a month later, how're you finding the konis and spring combo. My redline is up around 130k and looking to be lowered shorty, if the reviews looking positive ill be looking to take advantage of the deal before end of the month

    Sticky VY Interior

    Picked up a S2 berlina sedan that was too cheap too pass up, however I think I've found the reason why. The entire back seat and carpet has had something spilt that resembles wet aviation gasket and honey. My options are to pull the seats out and clean the carpet with a wet/dry, or pull it all...

    Steering wheel spokes

    Recently picked up a VY S2 Berlina as a daily, steering is quite a bit heavier than my VF and old VT's and in lower speeds I've noticed that the spokes have separated. How do you go about removing and or fixing them so they're joined correctly. Also any options to fix radio controls picking up...

    [Safety Recall] Electric Power Steering — MY2014 to MY2016 Holden & HSV, VF Commodore & WN Caprice

    But in saying that, if my last alignment was set to .81° variance in caster favouring LHS and is now .30° favouring LHS could that not be reason for the car tracking to the left. My assumption would be that having +1.0° variance in caster would cause the car to track to the right?

    [Safety Recall] Electric Power Steering — MY2014 to MY2016 Holden & HSV, VF Commodore & WN Caprice

    I'm going to make an uneducated guess that going from 0.81° variance in caster to .30° is what's creating the slight pull to the left. I might also get the toe in / camber addressed as I have some severe feathering on the outside edge of the tyres

    [Safety Recall] Electric Power Steering — MY2014 to MY2016 Holden & HSV, VF Commodore & WN Caprice

    Yeah for sure, it's odd though as it's not a constant pull to the left. I'll fight it for maybe 5 mins and it'll come good for a few then go back to a severe pull into the gutter. Image is from my tyre/alignment shop - this was done December 2017 when I had new rear tyres fitted. Image is from...

    [Safety Recall] Electric Power Steering — MY2014 to MY2016 Holden & HSV, VF Commodore & WN Caprice

    So as expected, car pulls to the left, got them to print off a copy of the alignment measurements. Will compare it to how it was done 18 month's ago. Also pretty sure there's faeces on the door card, might be dirt but didn't pass the smell test, taste test is next!

    [Safety Recall] Electric Power Steering — MY2014 to MY2016 Holden & HSV, VF Commodore & WN Caprice

    Received my notice in early January and called immediately, earliest available was today. Based on this thread I should be checking alignment, most likely excessive pull to the left and faeces, also likely excessive inside the car. Wish me luck.

    340 headers on S1 SSVR

    So had the headers fitted Monday just gone, definitely feel a bit more pull through the mid rev range, a bit more mechanical noise inside the car as well. Rear mufflers aren't doing it any justice now, gen f hsv rears. I know some of the vf2 mufflers have flared flanges, but do any off the shelf...
