[yumafia]

Hey guys abit of an update.. Since ive had 2 many cars (Jap quality) ive decided to get something i never had aaa aussie V8 so here it is...

2005 Holden VZ SS Ute Holden by Design
Auto (has stage 2 shift kit) whatever that does lol
Been Chipped (376rwhp? got the sheet but im sending it off 2 make sure)
Black (I think its Phantom Black)
Hardcover
18" Holden Rims
2-3/4 Exhaust system
Bosch Fuel pump (Noisy as hell)
Black Leather Interior
Candence 12" Sub
Pioneer DVD Player double din
On order Hertz MLK 165 Splits (Rip off but has 2 be done)
Alpine MRP-M500 Amp for sub
On order Hertz EP2 amp for the splits

Future:; 1st step find out more about them coz as i said i only had jap cars so iknow nothin about these baby's. The car goes hard and even with an auto it has trouble takin off without a wheel spin but i think i want more out of it.. If ppl can give me some advice to makin these go even harder that would help alot.. Will post some pics up soon

By the way i only upgraded the soundsystem couldnt roll with the stock lol

As far as I know. A shift kit in an auto lets it change gears quicker then standard. By the sounds of it you got a nice car there. Get some pics up :)

[RICEY]

Basically a shift kit increases hydraulic pressures which reduces slippage which increases harshness but makes for quicker gear changes.

LS series engines dont get chipped but simply have the software rewritten with the tune being more performance based than the factory tune.

As for more power these cars love forced induction :D if you dont want to take that path a nice cam will bump the numbers up and give that lumpy anger idle.

[Brute]

If it has got a true 376rwhp I'd hazard a guess that it already has a cam in it.

Unless it was tuned in Bibra Lake:lol:

[VT SS]

could be a 6lt ?

THIS KUNT ROLLING A V8 !!!

FUUUUCK YEAH !

[Tocchi]

nice upgrade from the BA :)

[VT SS]

Do you see the progression there from ford to holden....

he saw the light... whens your turn matt :lol:

[yumafia]

THIS KUNT ROLLING A V8 !!!

FUUUUCK YEAH !

i had no choice ben had to join the dark side lol

[yumafia]

Yeah BA Xr6t was good, it was jus a cruiser i hardly ever put the foot down. hehehe i still like ur xr8 buttercup

I dunno. Ive driven 400rwhp cars and they r insane. This goes hard but makes me doubt 376 maybe low 300's yeah but 376 not 2 sure will have it dynoed and see.

That will make it move.... my old ute made 553on 12psi with mild cam. 4th gear roll ons easy, not enought to lift the wheels though.... :lol: as ricey said the LS motors love boost

[yumafia]

I was thinking of puttin a blower on. The reason i have doubts that car makes 376rwhp is because it was owned by a man in his early 50's. And before anyone says sooooooo i know 50yr old have lead foots 2 but this guy looked after it well i only bought this one coz of its condition. It has service history every 5000k's and he just wanted abit more out of the ute so he had shift kit and tune done now as for figures ive seen ppl get given dyno sheet with one figure but its somethin different thats why i wanna check. Ute has very few scratches and motor is clean comparing to other 05 models ive seen.

Ohh that t-800 looks so nice and nice figures 2

[TJ]

You Serbian bogan!

[31-EVO]

Hahahaha
Great cars, I'm not sure how long you will enjoy it for coming from a Japanese car back ground though.

[yumafia]

You Serbian bogan!

HAHAHAHA i was waiting for that. Man Black ute, me in the singlet and thongs thinkin of growing a mullet ill be a true serbian bogan. Scratch that i jus bought a mullet on ebay $19.90 that better give me 5rwkw

[yumafia]

Hahahaha

I dunno hope it lasts a while. I had Xr6Turbo before this, one of the guys on here bought it, im sure his happy..

[Brett_J]

I love these things, I drive my brothers VZ SS ute around, apart from exhaust its pretty standard, but sounds mint and is good fun, I love busting around in it, would be bombed with some more power, I'd choose it over a Japper if it did, simply for a change.

[Tocchi]

Yeah BA Xr6t was good, it was jus a cruiser i hardly ever put the foot down. hehehe i still like ur xr8 buttercup

yeh needs a good wash though :p

[Chompy]

It's not all
about horsepower either, the Ls series motors make bulk loads of torque :D
change diff gears and if you drive it around a fair bit go for turbo or charger,
you will keep your driveability then :)

[yumafia]

i think i need a better exhaust and some headers

[GTS4SUM]

i think some new rims first and she'll look sweet.

maybe he meant 376 at the fly...

goodluck with it.

So it should be not many in that nic around.. Done much to it

[Ryan]

nah not yet hahah
just lowered
de-badged
and 34gtr rims

[Rantopotamus]

376hp at the fly??

who measures at the flywheel.. i doubt the engine has been out and tuned on a dyno in this..

It sounds like it has a cam in it mate with that power.. these usually pull 275hp ish standard. The shift kit will make it change harder too.. you probably already noticed that though!

These really do love a nice procharger on the side or a set of turbos down by the gearbox... but a lumpy as cam and diff gears will get it honking!

[YOUR MATE]

Saw it when I picked up his xbox, I'd say its a stocker. Wasn't lumpy, stock airbox and maf. Someone might of been pulling his leg during the sale, but either way he got it cheap for what it is, and it's a great base for a car. Good luck with it.

[yumafia]

Thanx as i said earlier i had doubts my self with power figures, still waitin 2 get some time of work so i can start doin stuff to it, quad has been takin all my spare time. Shiftkit does good gear changes sometimes a lil 2 hard but im not complainin. when i get some time together ill be takin it to WAPerf and get them 2 do few things too it and take it down to 1/4's
