Hmm thats odd my cousin has a 2000 ss super charged and making 330rwkw and has almost 200 000 km on the clock, never a problem

some were ok, but alot had problems with oversized rings in them or something and that caused them to chew oil, they were going through 5L of oil every 1000Km. thats nasty, that is why holden had to rebuild there cars, and when they traded that on the new model r8, it blew up with in 5000km.

they werent happy, but they are still holden fans and wont buy any other cars......

yeah I heard about those problems!

yeah they got 2 of them how unlucky.....anyway apparently they have ironed them out, buut who knows.

the best piece of advice some1 said to me about buying a new car is wait till they release the series 2 bcoz if there is any faults they most likely have ironed them out by the series 2 models.

I want one

to be in keeping with the litreage jokes, heres a classic one, only cheap wines come in 5 litres.

btw, holdens are pos's never seen a car with as many problems as my dads 06' ss ute.

These radio DJs call two separate phone sex operators and tell them to hold while they go get their girlfriend who wants to chat. They then connect the two unsuspecting operators with each other. :huh:

Woohoo, PFC in and running...

Runs okay on the factory map, could be better, nifty little thing tho cutting out the injectors alltogether when you jump off the throttle and the car has enough momentum to go forward on its own... Hello fule econo...

i noticed a massive jump in mileage after the pfc - before i would get approx 360km per tank (ie: just before the fuel light would come on) and now i get about 450 mixed highway/traffic driving :huh:

    • After using a protractor for an actually accurate assessment of what is required,  and by NOT using my uncalibrated eyeball I worked out I need a 25° silicone bend from the TB ro the MAF, but, my choice was either a 30° or a 23° (23° is a weird spec), so I grabbed the 23° one from Raceworks I also grabbed 1mtr of 3" straight from Just Jap, I needed 350mm, but they only had 300mm, or 1mtr lengths....meh Also ordered a 1/2" hose bulkhead fitting from fleabay, this has a smoothish mushroom looking head (they are designed for below the water line of boats) that will fit inside the bend, the hose bit and threaded bit looks to long, but nothing that a hacksaw cannot fix if required, the hose will then just get jamed on the threaded bit up to the retaining nut Fingers crossed and the unsightly amount of hose clamps will be reduced down to 4 once all the parts arrive 
    • Oil change does not trigger code 21. Code 21 is for coilpacks primary side connection. You can try to clear the code with a battery disconnect, hold down the brake pedal to drain capacitors through the brake lights with the ignition on for 10-15 seconds before you reconnect the battery. I have seen R35 coil conversion permanently cause this code with no ill effects so it might be the resistance it wants to see isn't quite right on one or more coilpacks. Could be inside the ECU, could be the harness, could be a coil. You can test it all if you want or just ignore until the car actually starts misfiring.
    • I forgot you have a Nistune ECU. Use Nistune to do all the tests I mentioned instead of faffing with 30+ year old electrical connectors. You can read MAF volts off that too, there are reference values in the service manual to tell you roughly what it should be in different conditions.
    • No. I think it might be the AFM. Hence the use of the terms "swaptronics", which implies the use of swapping out electronics for the purpose of diagnosis. It's about the only way to prove that a small/niggling/whatever problem with an AFM or a CAS or similar is actually caused by that AFM/CAS/whatever. A known good item swapped in that still gives the same problem is likely to be caused somewhere else. They're all the same. Spraying AFMs with cleaner is an each way bet between cleaning it and f**king it.
    • Oh wow! This might actually work amazingly. Do you know the ratio of the diff? I was told the only thing you need to make sure of is if the front & rear diff ratios are the same. Ours is a 4.083 Thanks!
