    Electrical gremlins

    Electrical wizards, a bit of help? 2011 VE SS Series 2 Sedan. Last weekend my cruise control stopped working while I was driving and would not restart. When this happened, I noticed that my airbag control also restarted - this is wired to the accessories circuit, as far as I know (I will check...

    Coolant leak - Head Gaskets or Overflow leak?

    So I have a coolant leak that I'm trying to get to the bottom of. A while ago the overflow outlet nozzle on the radiator neck snapped, and I puttied it up as a temporary fix until I could afford a PWR radiator (I prefer to fix things with stronger solutions). Everything has been OK until...

    Thermo Fan difference

    Hi fellas I recently broke the overflow outlet on my radiator so thought I would take the opportunity to upgrade the radiator. I ordered a Jayrad JR1074HP from Automotive Superstore, which is advertised as being compatible with my car (MY12 VE SS Auto). On starting the swap over this...

    Semi-auto N2O

    Hey guys, I'm wondering whether it would be possible to create a "semi auto" nitrous system in a VE? The thought that came to mind is: * Install giggle gas as normal, with a master on/off switch and WOT window switch. * Using "spare" relay socket in fusebox, program the relay to close only...

    Custom AC lines

    I'm trying to tidy up my engine bay and am thinking of replacing the stock AC lines with polished stainless and braided hose. Has anyone done this? It *looks* pretty straightforward but I'm wondering if there are any potential difficulties. I'll be starting at the firewall with stainless...

    Pedders XA Coilover ride height

    I have a S2 Redline and am putting Pedders Coilovers in soon. I bought it lowered, with Monroe GT shocks and what look like Pedders springs but I haven't had them out and can't see any info on them. Regardless, I'm currently sitting at 685mm on 285/30/20 rubber and want to keep it there...

    VE2 SS Air Con compressor compatibility

    My AC shat itself a while back and I'm finally getting around to getting it fixed. Took it to a mechanic who removed the failed compressor. Turns out to be an SV6 compressor (Holden must have been using up old stock when they built my SS) and the lines won't fit the V8 compressor. So I thought...

    (Another) VE Steering Clunk

    My MY12 SSV Redline has just started knocking/clunking from the steering/suspension at low speed. The noise is worse when turning left or even like 1 degree motion of the steering wheel, but is also present turning right or on bumpy roads. It's a clunk-clunk-clunk-clunk that changes with wheel...

    Running rough after new lights

    So I have installed a Switchback Led system in my MY12 SS. This comprises Halos for the headlights and fog lights, and Led bulbs throughout. The car was running fine after the headlights were installed but since I connected the Fog light halos it is running really rough. I have taken the...

    Cam, Lifters etc. How much labour?

    I'm looking at upgrading my L76 soon, and I'm wondering about the labour cost. Ill be doing the following, and it makes sense to do it all in one go, as heads will be off which should help with getting the headers in. Cam incl timing chain, dual springs & pushrods DOD delete Full exhaust...

    Ve 2 IQ system vs 64GB USB

    I have a 64GB SanDisk mini USB loaded with music. The IQ system reads it, but it seems that when in random mode, it will only play from the A - D folders, and only certain artists within this range (USB is Fat32, organised as Artist / Album / Track# - Title). I've removed all non-mp3 files...

    Trying to ID these rims

    Trying to find a match for these 20" rims Resized_20180218_161120_9618 by myksomerville posted Feb 18, 2018 at 4:34 PM I've found some that are similar, but the distance from spoke to centre cap is different. No visible name or ID on them, searching for TFW rims returns nothing useful.

    VT SII not starting

    I have a problem with my VT SII, hopefully someone can help me out. The car has been tricky to start a couple of times lately, it turns over but doesn't fire. Along with a serious loss of power on hills and lack of response when I stomp on the loud pedal, I figure it is the fuel pump. I went...

    Transplant cruise control VX into VT

    Hey guys I'm thinking of stripping out the CC from a VX wrecker I bought and installing it into my VT Exec S2. The VT doesn't have the CC loom so I'm pulling out the loom from the VX (factory CC, found the steering column cc control plug just had the blades inserted & taped - no plug body on...

    Tuning a 5-channel Amp & Head Unit
