Hello everyone, I've returned from an extended period of 'leave' we'll call it. Sadly, my poor beast was written off last week due to my over zealous right foot (after not driving for about 7 months). So I've decided to join the dark side, and cash in some of the insurance monies after...

Howdy folks, I just bought myself a little 2012 SRiV as a daily after getting my SS blown, it's the 1.4iti model. I'm going to get it tuned but was wondering if anyone has fitted this CAI to it? I'm only looking for a better turbo woosh, not performance gain from the CAI. Secret Weapon...

Howdy, I'd like to know whether having Torque Management for my 6L80e disabled in my tune is going to provide me with faster shifts? The reason I ask this is that my gearbox has been tuned, however it seems to lag quite a bit in manual mode between shift level pull and shift occuring...

Howdy, Just took off my VCM OTR intake yesterday to clean the filter and found my MAF mesh was covered in bugs and the throttle body was absolutely covered in black residue. It was then apparent on refitting it that there is a large gap between the filter and the intake moulding. A...

Hey guys, I'm heading down to Winton for a track day in May and was wondering what advice could be shed on car setup. Thus far I've read a good thread in the VE section regarding a track setup. I don't intend to regularly track the car either. My thoughts so far are: Deep Pan...

Hello, I had my car tuned a while back and AFM was disabled. Long story short, I've been back twice now to get it switched back on. First time I went back I had it reactivated for 5 & 6 only however it did not come back on, second time (yesterday) had it reactivated for 3,4,5,6 as per factory...

Hi guys, As the title says, had access to a very large private property on the weekend with lots of beautiful fresh asphalt, so me and my brother took our cars down for a few runs. Now for this exercise I will include dyno numbers that are free to be disputed, however it does provide an...

Hi Gents, I am currently looking into forced induction applications, mainly single turbocharging, and was wondering if I would be able to have a modified camshaft to maintain the DOD functionality. The workshop I am currently dealing with have advised against this, due to some technical mumbo...

Hi all, Last night I set up the Dash Command set up on my iPad, so I took it for a little squirt last night to get some readings. I think the 0-100 was a bit slow, and engine power a bit low according to the readings. 0-100: 5.46s Gearbox: Sport TCS/ESC: Competition Dry road, no detectable...

Howdy all. I'm wondering if anyone has any quantitative data regarding the performance difference between 3.27 and 3.45 diff gears in the VF SS Auto. I have used the search function and have seen some good information about the increased RPM at different speeds, however I'm more looking for...

Hey guys, I've been offered some free suspension from a near new (10,000k) VF Clubsport R8, I was wondering if the shocks and springs will fit my Redline and if their will be any benefit. I am mainly interested in using it to lower the car. Also if I choose not to change the shocks, will...

Hey guys, Going to heathcote this weekend and have been offered some free brand new 235 wide slicks on (I think) 15" interceptor wheels. My question is will they fit on my car? Thanks!

Howdy, Just washed my car 3 weeks (yes, bad I know) and about 1500ks after getting my full exhaust, OTR and tune, and noticed absolutely no carbon on the tips at all. Their is no white stuff on them either, which I've read can indicate the car is running lean, no codes are being thrown...

Hi people, Will an engine cover from the LS3 and L99 Camaro fit on my engine? Trying to find some nice red rocker covers but cannay find anything! I foolishly bought some on eBay that were for the VE, and have the hole cut in for power steering fluid or something, and I don't want the...

Howdy, Just got my iPhone 6 yesterday, and am unable to play audio through bluetooth. The phone connects, however media will not. Anyone got any tips? I have tried forgetting device, and reconnecting bluetooth which made no difference. Cheers, Chris

Hi Guys, Just wondering if anyone has tried/heard of/installed one of the paddle shift systems for the 6L80 gearbox in the VF? I've read some stuff on some American forums, but nothing relating to the Chevy SS or anything. Looks interesting to me!

Hello people, I've only noticed this in winter, however just ran my second tank of E-85 in quite some time, and my car is now almost stalling out when it goes to start first thing in the morning. Is that normal for E-85, or is it an issue I should be talking to Holden about? Car is...

Hey Guys, I see on these holden commercials, people using MyLink like Siri.... All I know is my MyLink is crap, is nothing like Siri, and can literally only be used (and hardly at that) to do things like 'ring wife'. I can't even make it tune to a radio station. I have skimmed the manual...

Hello people! A VF Redline I know has this really fuc*ing annoying noise that it makes under light acceleration. It sounds like aluminium being scrunched up (kind of hard to describe) you can hear it from outside the car quite clearly, and also if driving next to another car/wall/freeway...

Hey guys, My brother in law is looking at buying a 2.5" X-Force System second hand from a VE SS Wagon for his VF SS Sedan- the question is will it fit on? Or will it need to be cut down slightly. I rang my exhaust place and he said he would need to measure it up first :S Does anyone know...

Hello, I was wondering why the VF Redline has a clamp connecting its diff-back mufflers rather than a flange like the rest of the SS range? Seems a little odd to me and also hinders me being a tight-ass and buying some stainless 3" mufflers off ebay! Cheers, Chris

Hi All, Installed CAI on my 6ltr - aluminium pipe retaining maf and that other silly little pipe in between TB and MAF, with a big pod filter on it. Car has done 350k's, about 40k's with the intake on, some hard driving (mostly hard driving after install) the emission light has come on now...
