    VT Suspension question

    A VT clubby with new suspension FE2 scrapes on a lot of things! Worse than VE GTS. Gotta love people comments like oh don't go to pedders but no reason as to why, they are knowledgeable.

    5.0 VT CLUBSPORT_Do I fit a BIG CAM...???

    Hey well not sure what your budget is but in all honest the 5L sounds tough as with good exhaust, if you want lumpy the cam will do it, but yes kinda not really value for money. Heaps of power, well that depends on your idea, you should rebuild and do a stroker maybe it costs you 10K or more...

    .:Jester's HSV Z R8:.

    Looks sweet, where did you buy this from? Dealer or private? Sounds like the original owner dropped a bit of coin on it. Have any things like ABS/alternator/PS pump/water pump been replaced? Bushing nice and tight? After about 100K on my clubby things started going 1 by one LOL

    Where to get manual conversion?

    Are you asking where to source the parts or who will do the mechanical work? I think you are best to get a wrecked car and give both cars to the shop and pay $1000 to get them to swap it

    VT SS Turbo 700 Problem Please Help !

    Hi, I am not sure, I doubt that you need to rebuilt yours, many are changovers and no drama, something like the BCM or cluster would require programming but the trans i doubt it!

    VT II Gen 3 clubby auto service then bang

    Turned out it was the plantery gear, they rebuilt it with a 2800RPM stall, it uses about 15L per 100KM so its more thirsty. Still need someone to tuned the transmission points properly.

    Whats that 'clunk' in my trans/diff ?

    My VT clunks a lot (its solid coupling) even new trans, new diff, hardly any backlash, new mounts and new suspension its the same. I want to swap out my tailshaft and diff piece for the rubber VY unit or whatever it is, that makes it less apparent. Not sure why holden makes this rubbish

    Are HID lights worth getting ????

    I was also thinking about this, in the end for $80 i got the narva brighter/clearer vision globes. They are much better, also got the headlight aimed at a panel shop (used the bosch machine) and every now people flash me LOL, that wasn't my highbeam HERES MY HIGH BEAM MOFO!

    VT HSV GTS Hydratrak lsd diff

    Why did they bring out the hydratrack? I thought the idea was that it uses vicous means to turn the wheel it would not wear out and be better as its standard in the GTS?

    Clicking under the steering wheel/dash -VERY annoying!

    Are there any better springs than Kingspring ?

    That doesn't make me feel good, i just ordered some gt sports and matching king springs for my VT clubby! They claim great handling and ride quality

    getting spoiler holes filled/fixed?

    You still have to paint the bootlid anyway, most shops charge $250-$500 a panel to spray, i found the people that mainly do insurance work are the $500 ones!

    VX SS Mods

    I think the next step would be a tune, over the radiotor intake with K and N filter. Maybe some different diff gears. If its an auto get a high stall. Its never enough, i want to replace my cam but even then i know i'll want more

    My Whipple Blown VT Senator Signature 220i

    Do all whipples make that whining sorta noise? I see all the 6.2L VEs with whipples on them sound very whining when putting your foot in!

    [LS1] My tune results, a bit of handy info for you all.

    I tend to agree the LS1 is a good motor but its not really mind blowing, i think something around 300-400RWKW is what you want.

    vx distance until empty

    If its only distance till empty and not the fuel guage itself then it must be software related. I had a new fuel pump and sender installed in my VT2 R8, long story short after 4 new units and factory holden calibration the fuel guage is still off. I talked to holden assitance they only...

    VT... defected.. too low :s

    Something interesting to note, if in fact your vehicle is deemed unroadworthy buy an officer they can canary you (minor or major), weather or not it is roadworthy that is another story. They have the power, best not to upset them

    Ticking noise on LS1

    Hi, sorry if this has been covered a few times i read up but can't seem to determine if its an issue or not in my case. When my car is cold (sitting over night or after work), when i start it and drive its ticking from the engine, does not do it when idling, you can rev it slightly and hear...

    Piston slap LS1?

    Poke your finger in the spark plug lead end. LOL Maybe just disconnect 1 by 1 you will hear the car running differently when you unplug it if its good. I know if the leads break down over time, the car may hesitate etc under load

    It sounds like your thermostat may need replacing, the temp should stay very stable

    Clunky VT Trans?

    My VT 2 clubsport does it, now i had the diff rebuilt (ratio change) it did not affect the clunkyness. I checked backlash by turning the diff flange by hand and it does not turn much. Just had my auto rebuilt picking the car up on Monday so i will see if that makes a difference. Its...
