Just when you thought you’d seen it all! https://www.theguardian.com/world/2024/apr/17/brazil-woman-corpse-bank-fraud

Hi All. Looking to get some Tuff Mounts for the SSV (engine and gearbox). What can I expect in the way of NVH increase over standard mounts? I’m expecting that there will be more NVH but is it a lot more compared to stock mounts? I only drive on the street and am more interested in using...

So here’s how you can tell if you’ve got a T56 or TR6060 for all the early VE V8 owners out there. As per the installation instructions for the S1 sequential shifter (link below)...

So this looks interesting. A 3.6 litre four banger that uses an LS cylinder head and puts out LS horsepower numbers using forced induction.

Just thought I’d let everyone know that aftermarket VE V8 manual gear knobs are now available. I was wondering when someone would release an aftermarket copy seeing as the new genuine ones remaining are worth an arm and a leg. Judging from the pictures the quality doesn’t look as good as OEM...

So I’m starting a thread about stupid things Holden did with the design/implementation of their cars. So I replaced my front struts, strut tops, brake discs and brake pads, today and it occurred to me that because the bottom bolts on the struts are TTY technically they have to be replaced every...

Hi All. After the recent rains my SSV now has a soaked rear carpet again, checked the SV6 and it’s in the same boat as well despite me never touching the door cards or plastic on the SV6 before. The VEs are getting old now and the mastic that holds the door plastic onto the door is separating...

Hi All. I‘m chasing any recommendations on suitable speakers to replace the factory paper cone speakers in the rear parcel shelf. I think from what I’ve been able to ascertain online that they are 2 ohm subwoofers powered by the factory amp that’s in the boot but I couldn’t find any clear...

Hi All. So I’m having a problem with the boot release on my VE SSV. It stopped working a few weeks ago. It intermittently worked a couple of times over a week or so and then stopped working altogether. I figured it would just be the solenoid/lock mech so I bought a new one (genuine GM) off...

Hi All. I’ve been going down the rabbit warren on youtube on LS development and been investigating piston rings. The thickness of the piston rings makes a lot more difference than I expected it would. A 20 horsepower difference (and cooler temperatures to boot) between running thin rings and...

Over 1000 horsepower from 10.3 litres of N/A displacement.

So I’ve been going down the rabbit warren of LS lifters on YouTube (as well as other modifications) and recently found out that you can run link bar lifters in the LS. Wouldn’t this be a far better option than the one that normally gets thrown up of standard LS7 lifters along with the usual...

Stumbled across this on YouTube. Has anyone done this before? Might make an expensive job a relatively cheap one if you can do this.

I‘ve got mine! https://www.holmart.com.au/holden-ve-v8-tr6060-6-speed-manual-gearbox-tremec

Hi All. So I just bit the bullet and ordered a SAAS throttle controller for my SSV. I’ve read a few threads on here about throttle controllers but everyone seems to have been looking for increased throttle response and judges them against this yardstick whereas I’m looking for reduced throttle...

So is this what GM did with all the assembly tooling for the Commodore? The roofline, door shut lines and interior layout looks awfully similar to the VF Commodore. If so it’s nice to see our 400 million in taxpayers dollars went to good use! https://www.caranddriver.com/cadillac/ct5-v-blackwing

Hi Everyone. I’m looking at getting rear coil overs for my SSV. I’ve now changed all the springs to FE3 from Kings super low but the rear end sits too low with my car being dual fuel (120 litre LPG tank). I was running the Kings SL in the front and FE3s in the rear and it sat perfect in this...

Hi All. Im looking at converting my SV6 from the 5 speed auto box to a 6 speed auto box. I know your thinking “why would you possibly want to do that” to which I would say the 5 speeds are rare as rocking horse sh1t and expensive af whereas the 6 speeds are a dime a dozen. The box that’s in...

Hi Everyone. I’ve recently bought a VE SSV on dual fuel and it’s got lowered springs in it (king springs lowered coils, not super lows) running stock shocks but I want to bring it back to the stock FE2 ride height as it crashes around too much and bottoms out on the bump stops sometimes on the...
