About to do a L98 NA build and will need to upgrade the clutch so I’m tossing up between LS7 or exedy. LS7 mainly for the price but if it’s not strong enough I’ll go with exedy. If exedy, do I go single, double or triple plated? This will be for street not track, not too concerned with...

I've upgraded my series 1 head unit to the series 2 iq unit and while removing the old one the white antenna plugs tabs were broken inside so I had to plier the lead out which of course stripped the plug. Anyone know where I can get another white plug? Trying to avoid going to Holden because of...

Straight from the accelerator plug. If you get onto revhigh, they might sell an obd2 dual adaptor. I know stealth does to allow for powering controller and running diagnostic apps/software. @Freddy Kruger its fun AF hey. So nice to have response from the start. I haven’t noticed any difference...

Not really, I went with Mace Engineering because of price, I’ve bought their gear before and never had trouble so I know they’re reliable, the 3 different control sets (eco, sports and racing), it’s the only one that doesn’t use OBD2 port for power so I can still run Torque Pro on my old Android...

@Xplaya, it is sweet hey. Totally agreee autos would benefit more but holy crap that instant response is nice. I ended up running at SP9 for a while once I got used to it but took it back to 7 because when cold it kangarooed something fierce. If you got the Mace Engineering kit, try it P9. That...

Taking off in SP8/9 is taking some getting used to, especially when you need to take it easy in heavy traffic. When used to that bit of throttle lag after letting out the clutch and you touch ever so slightly then “whoa there wee doggy”, you giggle because that lag is finally gone. I think it’s...

i bought a throttle controller for my 09 SSV manual from Mace Engineering for $185 and timed 0-60 in SP mode if anyone is interested. Test area had a very slight incline, no real flat spots here. The car is still stock, only mod is a VCM OTR CAI. I only done 0-60 because I haven’t upgraded the...

I thought dig options was Australian like it says on their site and first time I've seen someone say they've had problems with a dig options unit.

I'm reviving this simply because that **** cracked me up!

Reads all. So same scan result as you Stooge. I'll get some front sensors too than, may as well change the lot seeing the car is reaching 8 years old.

Did you scan for an error first?

I've searched for the past few weeks and find heaps of threads about this issue but they all have the engine light on. This is my 09 SSV wagon. My abs and stability off warning started when I backed the car out, put the handbrake on and suddenly up flashes abs off and stability control off...

Should be good on a sedan. I'm in a club where quite a few members have j-pipes on their sedans with 0 drone

For a wagon? Don't do it, you'll regret it if the car has 3+ passengers. I did see on another forum someone put J-Pipes with hotdogs and has zero drone and the rumble isn't as loud (mine's freakishly loud but I love it, it's the drone I hate). Still thinking hsv mufflers or might go with the...

Already mentioned and linked 2 posts up but at least your massive ad proves you're not affiliated.

Hmm, think I'll have a look for VE GTS E3 rear mufflers, if no luck in a few weeks I'll go manta or walkinshaw bimodal. Just got to work out how to wire them up if I get lucky. Silly question, are the gts mufflers unique or same as clubbys and other hsv?

I've put on 3" J-Pipes on the end of my SSV sportwagon stock exhaust with dump tips. Sounds amazing except for one thing, the drone when cruising the highway at 110 in 6th and I hit a slight incline. It's worse when the family's in the car which has one slight advantage, it drowns out the Mrs...

Do you remember where you got the gauges in USA? The 5 in the VE ute back in 2012

Bugger it, as much as I'd love to get the digoptions, seems to be a real lack of intention to fix the duel zone issue and since the Mrs likes temp on her side different, not interested in changing the SSV to a single zone. Getting this instead and go with a unit that has all I need without bells...

Any update on this? I'd really like a digoptions just to support Aus business but getting itchy hands to rip out the VE SSV stock unit

Yeah I'll put the 40 on the rear and get the front pulled for the 35, only worry is are they legal once under the guard? Would it affect track too much legally?

Is the only issue the fact they stick out by a mil cause if so, a minor fender pull would fix that.

Thread dig time. So I have some LEXANI LSS55 4 20x10, 2 40 offset and 2 35 offset. I put them on my 09 SSV then back off as I was worried about the tiny poke past the front guard. It's like a whole mm, nothing drastic but still had me worried with the cops around here. Small town, small...

DESCRIPTION: Swap ITEM: 2 20x10" LEXANI LSS55 with chrome lip with tyres swapping for same in new or very close condition LOCATION: Laurieton NSW (near Port Macquarie) CONDITION: New DELIVERY/PICK UP INFORMATION: Happy to drive halfway if agreed on PAYMENT OPTIONS: Clean swap...

Seems I have opened a can of worms. Anyway, got a final reply from the online company I bought these from, basically saying the wheels are legal and a big screw you when I asked for a refund. Fair Trading just basically said "you accepted" I said I was told they'd be fine, they have a customer...

We must have dealt with the same idiot, argued with me that they're fine, looks great and looked at pics and said he doesn't get the issue. Yeah, fully intend on going further if they refuse to send out right rims and tyres for front.

I got some wheels and tyres for my wagon and a bit worried about the front. I originally ordered 20x8.5 front and 20x10 rear but got a call they had no 8.5 in stock so offered 10" all round. Problem is, the front tyres don't sit to the rim and the rims stick out about 1mm past the guard (not...

You tow are maen against thta advertaser jist tryign two mike a ilving. So maen

yeah that part is a shame, hoping they fix that with the dz release. As far as the dz goes, I'll just wait until it's release, couldn't be arsed to go to sz then back to dz. Nice find on full specs by the way.

I was a bit stumped why there's claims that dig options has a setting on their VE S1 unit for dual zone climate control but it says nothing on their site so I emailed Matt and the reply is: "Thanks for your email Right now we are working on a solution for dual. Our current solution is for...

To be honest, I never thought of checking. It was giving me the shits and after swearing heaps at Holden for not installing one of the cheapest parts they could possibly have, I put everything back to together and gave up. When the rain stops some time this week, I'll get my test light out and...

Hmmm, I know they're minor things, I just want to keep factory options as much as possible so was hoping it used speakers and dash centre. I'll just go with the factory style and hunt one on eBay with required parts. Now to find factory roof DVD with liner and looms, TPMS kit (I know that's more...

I'm looking into getting either the factory sat nav or the VDO (I don't want to go with IQ or alpine, I like the factory look in my series 1 SS-V), just wondering if anyone has the VDO installed and if it: 1 works with the Nav button on head unit and steering wheel controls 2 goes through...

Thank you so much for taking the time out of your life to say that. Now kindly ram ya head up ya arse

Oh yay. You mean I have to convince it I love it, will call tomorrow and talk it through the whole process? Sounds delightful...

Ok, good to know it'll settle after a while. Thanks heaps guys :beer chug:

Just had the rip shifter installed yesterday into my 09 wagon and the gears feel too tight and feels like I got to just about force it into 5th and at times it's like 6th doesn't even exist unless I go hunting and slamming while hoping I don't whack it into 4th while doing 120. Has the...

You mean these? Nolathane Rear Cross Member Bush Insert KIT FOR Holden Commodore VE 2006 2013 | eBay That part about being a family car not a drag car makes you sound like my wife. She's no fun either ;)

I'd rather be going straight then veering left if I fell asleep. I have a better chance of survival heading straight then a tree moving out of the way or a high edge magically filling itself in. Either way, if I'm asleep behind the wheel, chances are I'm screwed anyway so while I'm awake and...

I'm a nerd not a mechanic and even I didn't get the default left drift. I can ask the mechanic if he happens to have a copy of the report but don't like my chances, was a month ago. I'll get another one done for the 4 wheels and post that up. I'll get a full suspension check too. He said he did...
