Hi all, Picked up my ve series 2 ss a couple weeks ago. Ive got a warranty on it which is probably good for sfa, because they always manage to find a way to void the claims haha (kacare). The best way i can desribe the issue is a pulsing surge or lag under load. Its a manual and has 130,000ks...

Hi all. Im going to be changing my oil pump in the near future. I dont have easy access to an engine crane to lift the donk enough to fully remove the sump to get to the pickup tube, so what im thinking is that because my car quiet often sits for days at a time. Maybe i could drain the oil and...
