Is there anyone out there with a stock height SV6 (series 1 if it makes a difference), I just want to know the standard height, either a centre cap to wheel arch or ground to wheel arch measurement? My ute has been lowered on pedders springs but unsure how low that was. I now have 20s, and...

Can someone just confirm for me that if you disconnect the centre speaker the bluetooth phone audio still works? Mate with an '08 SV6 believes his bluetooth audio no longer works after he disconnected it. To me its sounds like the phones's audio comes from the right main door speaker?

With 4 speakers and 1 sub, no. Spend the extra money if you want to, on better speakers themselves. I have been recommended focal splits for VE's.

They are most likely LED trailer rear lights. Because LED's react to current alot faster than an incandesant regular globe, they create a pulsating effect through the flasher module. Since the curent is unlikely to be perfectly uniform, the LEDs react to this with a flashing effect. I dont...

The previous ride I had was a 94 Skyline GTST, full 3" exhaust, foam pod filter, and a slight boost tickle, just below the 15 psi cutout. That ran 157kw (stock boost tho) on the dyno with stock wheels. Measured 6.0 flat on a g-tech to 100km/h also. It was a fantastic car, super fun to drive, and...

SIDI are late 2009 onwards. Look for the model designation MY10, ensures its a SIDI. They were available from approx september 09. Id possibly suggest a pre owned 09-010 MY10 SIDI ute. I have an 2010, love it. Carsales is your best friend. Finance may be harder to get on a second hand...

Thanks Tinny, ill try that. Ill leave the speaker in for now, ill just disconnect it as many others have done.

Can anyone tell me if it is true that the bluetooth phone audio operates only thru the centre speaker? I have stock speakers, shortly to upgrade to amped Focal splits, but a mate with an 08 SV6 ute said he lost his phone audio after he disconnected his centre speaker. My phone audio sounds...

This may sound completely stupid, and I assume you have already tried it, but it happened to me also. If the AUX plug isnt pushed firmly all the way in it doesnt make full contact to make a left / rigtht stereo signal. It happened to me once to me and I was only getting sound from one side. It...

So what Oil and Grade do most people reccommend? For a 3.6 SIDI. The Book says 5W - 30, but doesnt specify synthetic or mineral. I have some info from a forum member, but for those of you that know, what do the dealers use?

Have look at the Ashes top gear thread. The wheels on the ute were SSV with polished face. Its a personal taste, but those look sensational, would prob suit a white car too ;)

Thanks Mike08, good eye, didnt notice that one. Glenn l, from what they told me over the phone, these grey springs were lower again than the sports ryder red springs, with a higher spring rate, so I dont know if they would sell these as touring coils. They were a limited production run for...

Thanks yeah I just Pm'ed him. I do like the look of that, I assume they are the Red springs, doesnt look super low, but a nice level height.

Ok guys need some info / advice from those in the know. Getting the ute lowered next week, currently it sits at 645mm front and 660mm rear, rim to guard measurements. I rang Pedders to book it in, the standard lowering springs (red) bring it down to 620mm at each end. He then offered me a...

Same again, ebay special, under $50. Be patient and some will turn up in Melbourne. Just remember the different lengths between sedan and Ute / wagon.

Yeah my Holden ones look almost identical to the photos above I think. Notice in the second photo, the top end is open to allow uninterupted airflow.

Yep. Mate has an 08 Ute, buffets like hell, so he has told me. I have an '010, with the slim lines and have never honestly noticed it. Worth about $125 from Holden I think. Looks good too, and great in the rain, cracking the window helps stop fogging.

VE SV6 Ute, MY10, SIDI, about 4200km, averaging 9.2 - 9.3 lt / 100km. Mixed freeway and city driving. That is calculated at the pump, not the trip computer. The computer has never shown below 9.9 or so. Generally get over 700 km comfortably without the lo fuel light. Was running it on 95, have...

Thanks Glenn, appreciate that.

OK so I have an SV6 ute, as most of you know they are jacked up in the rear out of the factory. From what I read on another thread, the spring seats are different on the sedan as opposed to the ute. I am looking at pedders springs (2954 / 55) , they claim it will bring it down to 615 / 625...

I have been quoted around the $600 mark from pedders for the sportsryder lowered coils, fitted and aligned. Buying a set of king springs from ebay would be around the 250-300 mark, but I have read that the king springs are quite stiff.

Anyone know approx how much it would cost for a workshop to install (pre-purchased) springs including a 4 wheel alignment, for a ute? Sydney area.

This 2 inch increase in diameter is a long held bullshit rumour. The regs state a 1 inch width change and a 'outside diameter' change of no more than 15mm to minimise speedo discrepancies. This is direct from the RTA website regarding light vehicle modification ...

Just wondering if anyone has purchased one of the cables from ebay. The sound quality thru the front aux is utter crap. They claim better sound thru this cable.

Just wondeing, is there any compatibility issues with the side seat airbags of the newer models? MY10 SV6 has airbags in the seats and I assume an MY10 SSV would also? Are these just plug and play?
