Posts: 9April 20, 2015 at 9:05 am #5100Yep kalmaker and delco are a disaster these days. I’ll be putting a platinum sport GM on mine too soon.
April 20, 2015 at 9:14 am #5102Mint GTS mate. Always loved this shape and colour, tough and still classy. VE GTS wheels look good but can’t go past the original wheels and low on these, Holden definitely got that right from the factory.
April 20, 2015 at 9:14 am #5103You have really made Andys old car shine. I was devo when he sold that. I loved that thing.
Where did u buy ur exhaust from?

Posts: 227I see you got DBA 330mm on both cars. What caliper have you got? Do they fit under 17in rims fine?

My VS brake upgrade thread - http://www.commodoresplus.com.au/forums/topic/vs-brake-upgrades/April 20, 2015 at 4:56 pm #5133Nice cars
Iv been doin the kalmaker tune path as well but it took to long to turn up and I know haltechs are decent these days but I still have a few top end tuners telling me to stay away from them as they are a cheap solution to the kalmaker, old lap top issues
I have instead sent my harness to ultimate conversion wiring and for $1200 gets it modified to run a a LS ecu and comes back complete set up with ecu and ready to plug in and tune with any LS soft where and for closer to $2k can have a brand new harness made
Iv had 2 top end tuners tell me to do the LS ecu before using a haltech and iv only asked 3
The 3rd is still waiting for kalmaker ecu to be made and delivered

Posts: 9CAV – I bought it a few months ago from a company called manta performance in W.A, I deal with the at work and they would be the only company I know of that still make Australian made early commodore systems. As for “AVGTS” There is still a bit of work to go like roof lining re-trim, Fixing the bolster on the drivers seat, Getting a few dents and scratches fixed, Petty shit that can wait till the car is tuned an running and hopefully cracking the 300rwkw mark.
Gary as for the intake it is made by flowcraft in Melbourne but I am un-sure if they still make them or not, I do know Andy the original owner did have major drama’s with tracking one down
SSEN8R – Both GTS’s still use the factory twin piston 330mm calipers that were the factory option on the 215i models. There is plenty of room underneath the 17’s and I have seen the VT-VY premium 343mm brakes squeeze under the 17 inch tri spoke so the is plenty of room to go bigger than 330mm.
