Hi dealmaster what happened in the end did you resolve the issue? I'm having the same problem. Happened once at a petrol station but started on the second attempt and it also happened today on my drive but this time started on the 6th try..
Also getting same issue on E3 GTS did you all work out how to resolve?Thanks
Take the starter off the car and see if it has seized or is sticking. You then want to connect it to a battery and see if if spins over. This might at lest give you an idea as to what's wrong before you spend any money.
As has been pointed out it may be possible to get it reconditioned.

Clamp the motor firmly if you do this off the car. Huge torque. It'll jump right off the bench else!As has been pointed out it may be possible to get it reconditioned.

$136
Use the FedEx shipping where you pay duty in advance, it'll arrive in a few days
That's for the LS2 Pontiac G8 which should be the same.
Maybe try and get it rebuilt or get a picture of it or the part number you have been quoted. They are about the same money in dollars in Oz ie $350 for genuine brand new.
From the ebay Oz stores, there appears to be a cut-off in 2008 for a different starter. 92184951 is the number before 2008.
92202964 Runs from June 2008 to May 2009. < The Pontiac number.
I am lifting the info from Ebay so I would do some more research first.
There is another number from 2010 onwards.

i used ebay au for 02 sensors for my monaro as rock auto ones did not seem to work , i tried a few ones from rock auto but none worked , the plus side of rock auto is quick delivery and once you choose the fed ex route as mentioned above that’s all you pay as taxes etc included , shipping from aus can take a lot longer then how many more £ on top
