I don’t think you’ll have any luck in finding the information that you are after. A mate of mine has what appears to be a genuine Group A3 that at some point was stolen/recovered and stamped with Vic police numbers (chassis and engine block),he even had a contact in Vic police who has had no...

Yes I had one fitted to my VK, I removed it years ago foolishly.

Don’t think people are buying but a stealership that I pass on the way to work has a 2016 GTS manual (black) for $109k, I don’t know how many k’s is on it though. The same stealer has a few Redlines there too but I have no idea on prices.

Yes it is, just follow the wires back and remove. I removed mine and the wires were connected into the harness under the steering shroud.

I purchased one of the HDT kits but never got around to fitting it as being a simple man I couldn’t understand the hollow bolt principle, anyway long story short at the Bcoaa yearly gathering this year I spoke to some very knowledgeable people who have been around HDT since it’s early...

Had my SS series 1 tuned at NAS automotive at Thornleigh when I first bought it, has similar mods to yours. Around town it’ll empty the tank in about 400-450ish km but on trip it’ll get 800km, earlier this year we went from Newcastle to the Gold Coast non stop. On the dyno sheet it is “supposed”...

On my VK I run the HPR30 and a genuine filter from Holden . Part No- 95710667. If your interested.

I have an ole VK GroupA and drive it every chance I get, I do around 6-7k every year in it. Our Redline is also our daily, I just try to avoid shopping centres in it.

Looking forward to following your progress.

Did you fit your manifold gaskets the right way? Have read that they can go on two ways, one way partially blocks the water crossover apparently.

Would you be making the journey this week to the annual gathering?

If you own a HDT and are on Facebook join the HDT owners only page, there are a lot of very knowledgeable people on it from Vic who maybe able to help.

I do not know where you can get that vacuum switch from, is it needed? I don't know, depends on if you can obtain the rest of the vacuum switches that go with it.

I used one in my old VK last oil change out of curiosity, the oil seems to be cleaner on the dipstick with about 1500k's on it, whether it was worth the extra $20 who knows. I can shamefully say I succumbed to peer group pressure from some mates who swear by it. Probably won't worry about doing...

My power steering failed earlier this year, my car was 6 months out of warranty never had it serviced at Holden and they replaced it under warranty. Thanks to this site I told them that I was a fairly common problem, they walked away made a call and come back and said it will all be covered no...

I have to tighten my filter up a bit extra as well. Starts to leak around similar mileage to yours. I have only ever used the AC Delco filter by the way so I don't know if other brands leak but it has only been the last 2 oil changes that I have had this problem.

I have a VF series 1 redline, yes I would buy another one although I did drive one of my mates GTSR last week and loved it so I think I'd try and find a GTS.

They said that I'd already had the recall done but did not hesitate in telling me the rack would be covered under warranty. I guess read into that what you want.

Hi, I have a MY14 SSV and just had to have the rack replaced. I lost all pwr steer suddenly no warning that it was going to fail, fortunately they did it under warranty even though mine finished in September last year. Go and get it checked.

All true, but guess it depends on where the dealership is that would dictate how the road test goes.

Do you reckon they would of nursed it doing the predelivery road test?

Bring back public stoning.

VK.

Will retire mine from daily duties in a couple of years and then it will be parked in the spare space beside the group a.

I had my rack replaced last week, I do have an early built car.

I think if they really want your car, why bother with stealing it from your house when a well executed car jacking would do the trick.

I had a look at an Insigna on Wednesday when I was at the dealer getting a new pwr steer rack fitted and I liked what I saw for the $$. I was of the opinion that NO I won't buy one because it's not Aussie made but let's be real nothing is anymore. When I'm in the market for a new car I will...

wonder if people will hire them as track day cars, might become as sort after as the 350GT Shelby! LOL.

I don't understand what you mean by your above quote. If you have an original you can drive it all the time, the same as a replica you just can't leave them anywhere unattended as either one won't be there for long. I have an original VK HDT and do about 10-12000ks a year in it I'm not scared to...

Hi Warrick, I use the Dexos 1 oil available from your Holden dealers spare parts counter, it's around $50 for 5lts and I just purchase a genuine filter while I'm there. I have an Orrsam otr with a full 3" Pacemaker exhaust, it is probably a bit on the loud side, have you had a look at Teckno?

Hi smitty, VF S1 MY14 with 58000km on it.

Thanks for the heads up, I'm booked in tomorrow for a failed pwr steer rack. I'll let them know not to do any ecm updates.

I have an Orsam OTR and it too takes a Porsche filter.

Such a shame they are killing them off.:(

How loud is your car? I have twin 3" on mine (not SC) and it's not to bad. As for your original question I've had a mate look into them and only got negative comments from the exhaust shops the same as yourself.

I just purchased the genuine AC Delco oil from my local dealer it was $50 for 5litres or $187 for a 20 litre.

There are lots better/ cheaper than wankinshaw, search is your friend. There is a lot of information on this forum. As suggested above Oztrack for starters.

As written else where the Redline is going to get the LS3 which is a good thing we know, but if you want the Holden not so Special Vehicle why not wait till the run of the mill Clubby comes out with the LSA it'll still have the big driveline only just missing the cooler and a little bit less KW...

I've never tried my DVD player so sorry I can't help.

Try Oztrack at Penrith, they can do all of the above. My mate has had his Maloo tuned/upgraded by them and it is amazing 355rwkw awesome!
