5 MUST Have Modifications for YOUR Holden COMMODORE 

would you not recommend the throttle controller?

It depends on what you want to do. As said above it was awesome while it worked. May have been faulty but we are not too sure as we haven't sent it back. A friend has one that hasn't broken yet and he has had it for a few years. Our experience was great...until limp mode

I would recommend avvoiding getting a stealth module. I have a 6.0 litre SSV Redline and the stealth module killed my throttle body after a while even though I hardly played with it.. On one particular day the car went into limp mode 11 times. New throttle body plus fitting cost me $770. I have since removed the stealth module as I don't wanna tempt fate again. Oh... and the 14.3 showing on the module in your vid was voltage. Your alternator was working it's tits off.

What's the exact point of your comment, is it like flexing your pindick or something. Be nice to people and have a good day!

VE's have timing chain issues, im guessing with your mods, you will be having some issues. Im led to believe aroud the 140k mark the issue becomes previlant. Are you seeing any issues yet and have you looked into this yet?

Why

lol

true tho

P platers: 😭😭

nah thats the last mod you do when you get your opens

Wow! Sounds awesome!! Enjoy 👌

Toughest ride in the street yea 😂🇦🇺

@@dalboymarto7458 It’s got downdraft throttle bodies now 😎

@@dalboymarto7458 It’s now got downdraft throttles and a haltech

​@@hoonaticbloggs5402 that's sick that was my first car except I had the shittest one a V6 VT Executive

Alloytec life lol

@@paigeroser2374 alloytick* :P

Can’t really do that on your Ps

@@moey6942 you just live in the wrong state

drop an LS in a SS?

@@TayT300 it's an sv6 not an ss

A new clutch would be pretty nice 😂. And yes, that would probably be right...should probably check the user manual 😂

@@BrokeCarConnoisseurs I swapped my clutch for one of the XTreme motorsports clutches with the SMF conversion. Afaik too Mantic does a nice organic twin plate. That'll be the one I go next :)

Looks like a good clutch. Does it have a heavy feel? My new one is a lot lighter than the one I had previous

@@BrokeCarConnoisseurs It's not that much heavier than my stock one. I haven't tried the Mantic yet though

I got one on my vz cost me $420

Get keen mate!! Best car for it 💪

I have the same car it's awesome 👍

Take it offroading 🤔

Broke Car Connoisseurs pretty well has I reckon

Buy a fourby 👍🏼

just about to buy one of these! Is there anything I should worry about with these cars it has 130,000km on it and it’s stock

@@Jake-vi3pm these type of cars are known for check engine lights n many issues. It can be quite expensive to own one. The way I drive I use 19.01L/100km. But to be fair it does chew a lot of fuel.

@@Harambe_Drift I’ve tried finding a car I like but every time I go to someone about the car they start telling me what issues these cars have it seems like you can’t get a decent car that won’t fuck up on ya 🤣

@@Jake-vi3pm 😂😂💀 best car is Toyota Camry. Shit don’t break down even if it on fire 😂 are you on your p’s? NSW P plater cars I would recommend would be Subaru liberty gt, Subaru brz or Toyota 86. My preference would be brz. Other options are s15, s14, Ralliart, Honda accord euro, GTI, Ford Focus st, Honda Civic if u wanna chuck a bunch of shit on it, Ford Focus xr5 turbo. One of the most fastest p plate legal cars with exhaust tunes to pop and crackle, Honda integra type r or maybe if u want something reliable and cool at the same time. I’d go for the Hyundai i30. All comes with its own issues and problems but i30 is pretty good bro. Personally, I love my sv6 ve. If I have it till next year (my fulls) I will chuck a cold air intake and a crackle tune on it. I have my car photos on Facebook marketplace, just up there for offers no rush to sell.

same

just know the risks, you’ll want to skid everywhere and fang it and redline it, good car to get when you want to learn more about cars as they’re easy to mod / fix

I bought Vf Sv6 Awesome car and cheap price

Ali Raza listen out for that timing chain !

Nicolas Orr no problem 123 k on car still Boost speed .

Sure does Ian!

Sure do! Enjoy

Hi Craig, you will notice the comment regarding the XForce exhaust was off the back of the Supercharged SV6 owners advice. This has come from a viewer who has supercharged their SV6 and had it tuned professionally to the current HP of 403. (Note NOT an SSV) Also, we did not mention exhaust tips affecting tuning but thank you for that information regarding the scavenger value and exhaust venting. As the saying goes, you learn something new everyday! Take care.

@@BrokeCarConnoisseurs np but also if you want to do essential mods you should look at coil over for suspension and vented rotors.

Hadn't thought of those 2 but thanks again. The stock rotors are pretty horrible I will admit that. Maybe one day if we do a refresh of this video we will add the 2 in and get to 10 mods

We shall see what we can do!

Thanks Luis, much love ❤

hey luis. I'm a lonely old man. care to exchange emails? i would like a pen pal via the internet

Emo Dracula-noclout you probs shouldn’t be trying to talk to little kids on the Internet if your a “Lonely old man”

Hey mate, honestly it is up to you and depends on your experience. It is always good to get under the car and learn but if you don't have the correct tools, take it to a professional who can do it safely! Price wise I am not too sure how much it would cost per hour. An exhaust isn't too hard to put on so maybe 1hr of labour??? Thanks for watching!

Broke Car Connoisseurs cheers for replying mate

That would make sense. Thanks!

Broke Car Connoisseurs allg man I’ve got a xforce on my vf sounds the same!

Send it through to our instagram if you want 👍

How did you go?

@@zakwright982 yea, it isn’t a thing unfortunately. Just watch other stuff for a bit. Probably replying just now hasn’t helped the cause lol. GL bud.

Not too sure about Victoria Jay, will have to check the Vicroads website for that one 👍 we are located in Queensland

Got my ve on ssl king spring front and sssl rear but stick to ssl rear so it doesn’t scrape on your muffles unless your changing to something smaller which will be fine, you can also have 2” bigger rim from standard so mine came with 18 and i went up to 20” and yes it passed roady haha.

Thanks boys. Appreciate it 👍

I don't own a vz but I imagine I'd be right with this. Exhaust, yes you absolutely can, just find one that fits and is made for a vz, the springs, are also a big yes. Wheels obviously are a yes also. For the throttle response controller thingy, they only work for cars with electronic throttle, I'm not sure if a vz has that, you should be able to have a look at your throttle body, if there is a metal cable and a semi circle looking thing and you can open and close it with your hand, it isn't electric, which means it won't work. As for the tune, I would discuss that with a tuner and try to find out if you think it would be worth it. I don't think you'd get a lot more power from a tune but I could be wrong, might drive a bit better, but again, ask a tuner. Hope that helps somewhat

HomieRo cheers for that legend

HomieRo. VZ is electronic throttle as it’s the first iteration of the alloytec engine.

Best decision I have made!

@@BrokeCarConnoisseurs yeah mate can't wait to get on my ps and hows the petral on the commodore?

Actually quite good. If you are a lead foot then obviously it will be bad but once you get over the flooring it stage economy is decent

Good luck getting it insured. I'm not on my P plates, my SV6 is not modified and i still got knocked back. I have to pay a lot with the one that didn't knock me back. Change the oil every 5000 km cause the V6 has its issues, IMO buy a V8 when you finish your P's don't waste your time or money on the V6. Modified commodore's with p plates are also a cop magnet. Petrol 9.5/100 km (but traffics light at the moment due to lock down) 10.4/100 (normally) The 50/50 weight balance makes it handle like its on rails (unmodified can't comment on lowered). Use Quality tyres nothing cheap and nasty. Don't put (much) bigger wheels on a car because 1. its a harder ride. 2. It will effect you acceleration, speed and braking performance. 3. you need to upgrade your brakes (big wheels with small brakes looks strange) Get an XR6 the Barra is bullet proof.

Thanks Igor!

Hey mate, I haven't had any issues with mine yet. However, I have heard that they are an issue and can be quite expensive to change. I guess it depends on the age of the car and how well it has been looked after

Daily Fortnite Streams!!! I’ve owned 2008 SV6 since 50,000kms and it now has 325,000kms and I haven’t had an issue with mine. From what I understand most of the timing chain issues were in the initial production run and were sorted fairly quickly.

The biggest issue is the PCV valve. Oil clogs up on the drivers side, causing poor lubrication, parts wearing out prematurely (timing chain) or worse. Get an oil catch can installed to replace the PCV valve.

That would be a downgrade

LS3

Congrats! We haven't had any engine issues so far. It really depends on the condition of the car and how it has been treated over its lifetime 👍

Same here. Not that worried, but they say too look at the timing belts.

Power to weight ratio remains unaffected with a throttle controller. It simply increases or decreases the sensitivity of the accelerator.

Hey KRTKL, congrats on the car purchase! It can be expensive but it depends on how hard you drive it. When I first got the car fuel was expensive because I drove a lot. Now it is around $60-80 per week. Hope that helps 👍

@@BrokeCarConnoisseurs Cheers guys yeah thats what ive heard im not gonna be going far yeah thats fair enough, I havee heard you can get around 700ks easy a tank im going to try get one on LPG ive heard its around $50 to fill a full tank give or take a few $$ dont know much about vehicles cant find too much info is it shit for the car long term if i was to run her on has and alternate with fuel?? thanks for the reply so quickly aswell muchly appreciated!! :))

No problem mate, anytime

KRTKL. It does depend very much on how you drive it. I’ve averaged 8.5L/100km from my automatic SV6 on mostly highway driving (about 80/20 split between highway vs city) which is quite economical for a V6. My manual SSV on the other hand averages 12.6L/100km doing the same driving, although I always make use of the effortless torque of the 6 litre so I don’t try and drive it economically either!

Hope you got the ss mate , i get 650 - 700 ks out of a tank , 8.9 - 11.9 ltrs per 100k lower crusing higher racing 😉 an not to sound to upmyself but these guys are way off on the mods 😂😂 this is more ricer talk than ive ever heard 🤔 fuckin crackle tune 😂😂😂 wtf

agreed

Why are they shit I own vf ss wagon 2014

U don’t either

Agreed man, naming stuff everyone does to their commodore instead of what they should do... which is fix the bloody timing chain issue haha

That’s what I have done right now hahaha

Not too sure how low they put the car Rhys...legal height is 10cm to the best of our knowledge so anything under would be illegal

No they are not

Already sold

@Jimmy Valentine Good observation there.

Still here mate. Just waiting to get some time after we make a move to Brisbane. Will be videos in the new year!

Not too sure about Victoria Lukas. You will have to check the vicroads website 👍

Its still a commie mate
