Fuel line problem was completely different with the V8's - had something to do with the quality of one of the lines AFAIK.

Holdens are still crap but.....

think its just the quality of the cars themselves....

in the v8's it was that the lines didn't line up properly with the rail or something like that.

and while holden has had quite a few nissan has had a few as well. do a search on silvia 200sx recalls. (not defending holden, just making a point to the green eyed import fan bois, LOL)

haha, i havent heard of this one yet, im an apretice mechaninc and the ve has had heeps of recalss, half of them have dodgy window washer bottles that leek, water leeks throught the floor on rainy days, ecu, bcm need reprograming/ recalibrating all sorts of utha shit too

I drove a ve for the first time today.....it sucked, it's a boat with millions of blind spots and a seat made for a fat ass sales rep.

i loved getting into my stagea afterwards with a smile on my face knowing that it's a billion times better.

well i dunno about australia but im pretty sure here in canada they dont legally have to publish all recalls unless the directly relate to safety

there is plenty of recalls that happen all the time and most people dont know about them for years

Quite correct. Most are done under a mailout to owners and are done during routine servicing as a warranty repair item.

Haha its funny how holden promote that they have sold the most cars, and then couple of hrs later oh and we need 86k of them back cuz they might go up in flames haha oh classic !

"damn we knew we shouldnt of stooged on those fuel lines" :D

    • I much prefer that to an actual oil pressure issue, never would of thought it would of been a volt drop issue but SAU brains win again. Guess ill be turning down the oil pressure limit for the track and hunting some grounds. Ill hopefully update this thread with some high oil pressure and solid ecu voltage logs. 
    • You've just discovered a really good reason to tell yourself, yes, I do need to buy an aftermarket ECU. Put the MAF in the bin. Slap in the new ECU and have a think about what turbo sounds you prefer.  Do you want a 90's style BOV wooosh? Do you want a hektik tsututututu?  Mate, can't go wrong. Just gotta get that ECU and the world is your oyster. 
    • Hi. Iam just curisou about this topic. I saw this video. It is about Greddy Type FV2. I know that BoVs are about that sound but how and when to use it? I read some topic here and from what i have understand on stock RB with MAF there will be some "problems" if you use this BoV? It vents the air in to the atmosphere and the MAF on stock car needs this air back in to the intake and not out? Or is it wrong? If so...i saw you can put some adaptor to circule air back...but does that not "loose" that sound? I saw another BoV from Turbosmart and it has two "exhaust" like ports? One is for the stock tubing for letting air back and one is for "sound" and let the air in the atmosphere? Can someone please explain? This is the Greddy one:  And this is the Turbosmart.     THANK YOU!! EDIT: So i read about this topic some more and i if i understand that correctly: That Greddy can function either like BoV or 100% Bypass valve? And that Turbosmart is what they called hybrid so you can adjust what and how many air can be vented out or back in? Is this right? THX!
    • That dirty voltage drop is the culprit I suspect 
    • i cant get them all in 1 screenshot unfortunately as i just dont know how to move things around tbh, but they are all from the same log and the line crosses at the same point for all of them
