  • Just a shout out to any GTS GEN-F2 owner out there. Would anyone that has either the original GTS spare wheel option fitted or has a work around, for securing a spare wheel be able to share some pictures of how you have it fitted? I tried to get the factory spare wheel option fitted when I brought my GTS new, but was told that that option was no…[Read more]

    • Hi Chris.
      I have fitted the genuine spare wheel setup to my Gen F2 Clubsport which will be the same as the Gen F2 GTS. This uses the smaller disc type setup that sits to the left side of the boot unlike the earlier style.
      I have all the part numbers required and pictures if you like.

      • Hi Bill,
        Thanks if you could post some images that would be great. I think I managed to track down all the part numbers from GM.

        • Hi Chris.
          For some reason my phone wouldn’t let me attach the pictures to our conversation so I did another post which you can view under my username. Hope it all helps and don’t hesitate to ask if you have any questions.
          Regards
          Bill

          • Thank you very much Bill appreciate the pictures. I tracked down all the components minus the spare wheel carpet which is the easier bit to source. I would just us local upholsterer to make up a custom cover for the wheel. Thanks again!

    Hi all, a newbie here but long time Holden/HSV devotee. Just a question, is there any way other than measuring the stroke to tell the difference between a 304 185i and a 215i? tia

  • Hi All
    Hoping someone can help me out. My ABS module is gone in my 2001 HSV VXII 5.7 R8 Clubby. Does anyone know what the serial numbers are for this part. I believe they are decommissioned so i can only buy a refurbished one. If someone knows the serial number for this part id be greatly appreciated

    • The different colour badges were because of the upgrades the car had, such as yellow meant top of range, 325kw instead of 217, the bigger brakes and wheels, leather seats, maybe sat nav, Red badge meant Factory standard features, black not sure, maybe the Black edition.

  • My series 1 VT HSV wont run because my key died and I was never given the fob keys when I bought the car, I need to know how to get rid of this rediculous security system that is preventing me from using my car???? I beleive its an ISS passive 3 point system and there is no help anywhere.

    • You have to replace all the wiring under the dash/into engine back.

      • I have managed to repair my key, but it’s not going to solve the problem long term.

        When you say replace the wiring, replace it with what?
        The PCM will still programmed to look for it. Will I have to replace that as well? I managed to program another key that locks and unlocks the doors but won’t start it.
        Thankyou for replying.

    • I solved the problem and I actually managed to make a new key that works. couple of tricky steps, I believe I will be able to make a new red tag as well.

  • Hi everyone,
    I’ve just purchased my first HSV – a VF series 1 Maloo R8 SV Enhanced (with the 340 kW LS3 engine). I was wondering how I can find out how many of these Series 1 VF R8 Maloo’s with the SV enhancement were manufactured / delivered?

  • Hi everyone, I have recently acquired a 2002 HSV Coupe with 47,000Km’s, I was assured by the dealer it was “all original” however I have noticed the engine number doesn’t match what Holden, the handbook or vehicle check websites show. Being such low mileage I can’t imagine the car has had a replacement engine. I have spoken to the previous owners…[Read more]

  • Hi I was wondering if there is any way to find out how many vt mantas are left eg how many have been declared write-offs, stolen, burnt out, scrapped etc? I realise not all would have been reported or declared but just a rough estimate of how many are around roughly out of the 180 that were made. Cheers

  • Hello to all.
    I have purchased a 2017 HSV Clubsport R8 LSA recently.
    The Enhanced Driver Interface. EDI. iconiwhen pressed whilst car us running and stationary says EDI unavailable.
    Holden techs say they can’t get it to operate.
    Trying to ascertain if this system was an option which my car does not have access to, or if I my car has an issue. Thanks.
