Nice to see these old Commodores being saved from the junk yard. I bought a 2000 Calais non turbo 3.8 in NZ this year for $6000NZ (about $5,500 Aussie). Same blue too, 143,000 genuine on the clock. You have to love them. Scored it from a collector who was downsizing.
I'm glad TH-cam's algorithm suggested this video to me. These Eaton M90's were heat pumps even with a mild boost increase, but I hear these engines enjoy a turbo setup quite well. We had a 2000 VT II acclaim, which has only recently been gone a few years. This car of yours seems in really good nic for the price.
Holden made some very bad mistakes, the Holden Commodore used to be a mid sized car back in the 80s with the VL Turbo. They could've easily reverted back & averted the crisis. It just seemed like more weight, more power, larger size & worse fuel economy was their goal instead of trying to pay attention to where the market shifted.
Tragic moment for the world, and bad economical decision getting rid of Holden. Just so China and others can flood there cars in our country n eventually run the place

Good on ya mate, I did Have a small giggle as at the start of the video it was 227 thousand k's, then at half distance it was updated to 232 thousand k's yet dash reading is actually 234 thousand k's 😅
They weren’t renowned for being power houses without a bit of work. Considering the stupid money people want for Bombadores thease days 5k is ok not fantastic but ok. You use to be able to get them for about 3k. 11 seconds HMMM! Needs some love. Thanks for sharing 👍🏻👍🏻🙃🙃
The windows/doors rattle cause the felt strip at the top of the doors drys out. Spray it with silicon spray and it will stop it for 1-2 months then reapply. Also check the connector on the dfi, they can crack and/or the outside pins burnout and cause misfiring and stalling.
Yes, defiantly should go way better than That mate, my mates did same thing and he got supercharger rebuilt and fixed it and it went like a rocket. Nice car looks very original and good KS but I'd say it's been thrashed a bit maybe before old guy bought it.
0 to 100 in that car should be achieved in about 7.5 to 8 seconds max. A standard eco tech V6 can do it in 8 to 8.5 seconds. There is definitely something wrong.
Hi , i had a 2002 WH Statesman ( VX Commodore ) - black on black leather with the 3.8 supercharged - almost from new It was a very fast and quiet car - quicker than my VP SS I did not trade it in and kept it as the spare car as i also was driving my 1999 VY SS Basically i drove the statesman 4 days a week then the SS, except in summer, the statesman had a much colder air con for some reason Although i preferred the SS, you had to be carefull as the staesman was much quieter and almost no exhaust noise you had to check the speedo Currently my daily driver is a Ford Territory, but i have a 207 VE ( WM V7 statesman )
back before covid a mate bought one of these, it was about a grand .. same sort of k's and condition.. but the car had an issue where if you accelerated it would go fine until it got to 40kph then would go into limp mode.. it wouldnt ever be able to rev right out... i think 1 time it went properly and was pretty quick... never got it sorted... ended up being sold on.. researched a lot online but i never found anyone mentioning a similar issue.. was a mystery..
you can pick them up for 3- 3.5 k here in nz ,,folks here seem to be dumping out these older holdens no one really wants them anything under year 2000 has to have 6 month wof done over 2000 12 months so that has a lot to do with it .Once they are all gone then everyone will want one again .
Yeah ? Where is the best place to find old cars in NZ trade me Marketplace? I’m looking for an older merc and I know you guys imported a lot from Japan back in the day
Looks like the boost solenoid is not closing. To stop the engine hunting at idle and overrun the supercharger vents it's boost, but the solenoid fails and stays open all the time.

Give her a full service, replace the supercharger coupling how ever you spell it, new charger oil, engine oil, trans fluid, plugs, leads, coils,fuel filter see if that helps
Change wheels to 18 inch with 245/40 series tyres. Also change MAF sensor(mass air flow sensor) and air filter with k&n upgrade. Fuel filter. Penrite fully synthetic oil and quality spark plugs. Also keep adding premium fuel. Old fuel may be part of the problem.
@@shanesmith9356 Yeah I reckon it's got stale/off fuel and needs to run on nothing but BP Ultimate 98. Also throw in a bottle of Nulon injector cleaner and also a bottle of Octane Booster as well.

It's cheap to do and gives you piece of mind.(if you plan on keeping the car) which I think you should. It will just keep going up and up in value.

Get a Barra transplant if you want to turbo. Not a pushrod 3800. Supercharging is much more suitable.
It was a big mistake of GM drop the Holden. Probably tragic moment of world car industry...

the n/a variant of this exact car is rated for 9 seconds 0-100, the s/c variety rated for 7 seconds, something definitely not happy if its running 11!

Boost solenoid bypass valve, pretty common failure with them.

For it to be this slow the supercharger bypass valve is fucked. Change it and you’ll performance will come back.
Is that the solenoid?
The part that has the vacuum hose connected to fuel reg to the boost bypass, now that old mate has mentioned it, that could be the case
If it came with roady and rego then probably a fair price motors clean af
