Check and/or clean the Throttle Body, IAC valve as well as your MAF (If you still have one)... it happened to all my LS vehicles.

RIP... and now to a Republic we go and about F' ing time, as the thought of King Charlie just pisses me off.

Your "Tuner" needs a swift kick in the arse... should not have given you the car like that!!! :mad:

LMFAO about Pedders, to use their quote "Straight advice, specialist you understand and... No Bull..." but we will take you to the cleaners, put you into debt for years, rape you and your wallet.

+ Albino Wallaby and Blue Tougne Lizard, for a minute I thought it was the National Geographic Channel.

Simple insurance, change it every 12 months and start it is better than nothing at all... trust me, I had my HJ GTS in long term storage(>8years) and when I checked the oil it said all good, a bit over... thankfully I rang my engine guy and he said "water" can get into the oil simply from...

Sorry but I have had the Chinese Pedders - what a joke compared to TEIN and Bilstein, while the TEIN were great, Bilstein with MRC where the ducks nuts and should have gone with from the start. In the end you get what you are willing to pay for, pay for peanuts and get monkey shite.

Your Holden/HSV dealers are just A--holes that could not care 1 bit about Holden let alone that you have a HSV. I believe you are talking about the Rubber coupling at the front of a 2 piece tailshat... See attached that may help you with terminology used... Good Luck.

My 2c, I kind of lean to poor tune as well... but that right foot can do perform miracles.

As above by rambunctious but would add Heat, small blow torch or heat gun to heat the nut and WD40(not at the same time, lol)

While you have not said how the mechanic cam up with "... the motor is cactus" was this his professional opinion, LMFAO? What proof does he have? Was it the actual piston, rings, lifter, valve spring, valve, injector, spark plug or was rod knock... how about a broken header/exhaust will make...

V6 = 5.6 Litres (includes oil filter) V8 = 6.2 Litres (includes oil filter) As greenacc said, level ground, remove dipstick, let it rest for 5min and check - If it still reads low add 500ml, wait 5min and check again... there should be a change, If there is no change, sorry to ask but who did...

IMHO.... 1). 95% of LS1's tick, they are known for it. 2). Flogging every now and again... no, it's not a Diesel. Go for a long/long drive is preferred, when almost empty fill it with some BP or vPower 95/98RON fuel +Injector clean. 3). If the headers are cracked/leaking you will hear it mostly...

The Neo Nazi.... White supremacist, Herr Idiot Trump just said "Choke Holds" are OK, Like WTF!!! (Give it 24/48hrs and Herr Trump will say that's fake News...)

Fake News according Herr Trump...

Are you are talking about a hole in the throttle "body" somewhere or the inside on the "plate/flap"? It also sounds like your tuner has not done an LS before... as per 07GTS.

Got a letter once stating I ran a red light and speed through the same intersection... Asked for the photographic proof and got a photo of my vehicle(check), GREEN light being shown(WT....), doing 55Km/h in a 60 zone stamped on it(Seriously WTF...) Immediately rang these twats and said bring up...

Good thread dig.... Answer is No, you will need to get a bell housing and/or adaptor made.

VZ to VZ = Yes, but you made need a some wiring done and extra bits.

Yes.

Hmmmmm... 398atw is very good for a stock bottom end 346ci LS1, mine did 406hp(303rwkw) I'd say E85 is the way to go for more HP, but then you would really be pushing the bottom end of the LS1... then the only way to after this is a Stroker 383ci kit.

Here.... Just use this...

Ahhhh... Track days & camber, you can never have enough. Firstly, how serious are you about track days? Secondly, how much money are you happy to funnel into it? Look, the simplest and cheapest(apart from don't do track days...) is buy another set of "Track" rims & tyres... cause your normal...

How about... IH8FRD

1st. You must have a good alternator that will charge it your battery properly, otherwise it does not matter what battery you get. 2nd. Drive your vehicle regularly... or have a good 12v charger that floats(discharges) the battery. Century or SuperCharge - Century.

Firstly your mechanic is a complete twat and you should go to another mechanic that knows Holden and LS motors. Secondly... LS3 heads will never fit and LS1 motor due to the bore on an LS1 only being 3.9inch. LS2 heads are basically LS6 heads, but LS3 heads are very different. they have bigger...

First, Check the Thermo Relay/Fuse box... Second, did you check the temperature sender... as this tells the fans to turn on. Third, If you have a working AirCon and it blows cold or this ain't going to work... Start car, aircon on full cold & the fans should kick in. Yes=Good, No = you have 2...

As suggested... 1). Look at the O2's 2). Get your tuner to check the tune @ idle & partial throttle, as it might be way too rich... 3). Pull the spark plugs as they will tell you a lot on how its running. 4). Clean the MAF and check the IAT position(You will be surprised...). 230/230, Cam...

Not rocket science.... just add VIN Number http://www.hsv.com.au/GEN-F2-2017/own/authenticate-your-hsv/

Somehow I don't think GTS-Replica will get your post... GTS-Replica Full Members, from Sydney NSW GTS-Replica was last seen: Oct 1, 2013

Dead easy... and you will need coolant + distilled water. See attached section 3.3...

Yep... Bush gone.

1st). 2009-->2017 - 8yr old thread dig... along with the OP hasn't been on JC since 2011, doubt you will get a response.... LOL. 2nd). Straight pipes from the cats(Do you mean No Mufflers???) would increase the noise past the acceptable legal limit and make it sound like shite.

Did you check the NEW thermostat was working before you put it in? Yes... then did you make sure you don't have air in the systems by purging/bleeding it? (https://forums.justcommodores.com.au/threads/best-way-to-bleed-air-from-vr-cooling-system.158091/... or... ;) Good luck

A reputable Locksmith could/would be able to help... but it will cost as it's now the weekend. Don't bother pulling anything out of the vehicle as the Immobilizer is linked to the PCM/BCM so it is useless. :(

Previously to the VE's they use to change the CAM profiles on the GTS's/SV6000 - So VT/VX/VY/VZ. However the Clubsport's/Maloo's where just exhaust, intake(LS1 only) and tune. But the 6.xLtr(LS2/3's) had Heads and CAM that are different to Holden use of the 6.xLtr(L76, L77,L98 & I think L99) -...

Question: How many K's does the vehicle have? BTW - The "Mechanic" - tell it they are dreaming @ $4K... its at least 1 - 1.5 days work(8-12Hr) @ 100(MAX)/Hr=$800-1200 + parts...so the whole job should not be more than $2-2.5K
