Coming back to SAU yet again since Holden forums are full of inbreds with an IQ of about zero.
I just bought a VY SS ute that has an OTRCAI.
Are they legal?
Well, I don't really care if they are or not, but I need a RWC, so my question should be; 'Will an OTRCAI pass or comply with a Victorian roadworthy inspection?
Professional advice greatly appreciated.
Cheers m8's

Personally I'd take the xr6t/f6 over any Holden v8, they handle better and are a lot nicer to drive even with the live axel.
If you have to have the vz v8 then the maloo is your only real option as no one makes a super charger kit for the L76
Really? Everything I've read/heard has said that the IRS Holden handles better or at least feels more balanced front to rear than the Ford. I guess I'll have to try to drive both.
8 hours ago, Old man 32 GTR said:Hi, I just come out of a V8 and got back into a skyline. I had an E1 Clubsport with a supercharged LS3 making 400rwkw. Can I just say, didnt come close to my GTR in terms of driver satisfaction and enjoyment. I have driven an F6 also, but never owned one but I would say go the F6, (nothing like that turbo rush).
Do you intend to track the car at all?
The Holden/HSV L series motors are terrible for heatsoke, you would be spending any money you had after purchase temperature control.
Don't get me wrong, they are a great car but it's not going to give you the same satisfaction your skyline did.
If you want a great street cruiser, go the Holden/HSV.
If you want something closer to your skyline go the F6. The Barra motor is a lot of fun on boost but it won't handle anywhere near as good as the skyline.
Good luckCheers, that helps. I really prefer the looks and interior of the Holden, but the power delivery of a turbo 6 is probably what I miss the most. I need a Maloo with a Barra swap, that would be the dream.

Short Story:
Sold skyline, people told me I would regret it
Regretted it
Bought 4wd
Miss fast car
Long story:
I miss having a quick car for the street. My 260rwkw R33 had the perfect amount of power, and I never really got tired of how quick it was. Handling is important to me and I've done a few track days, but power is definitely placed higher in my criteria.
The problem with my skyline was a) they're old and getting harder to find parts for, and b) theft is out of control in VIC so I couldn't really drive it anywhere and leave it without paranoia kicking in.
I'm looking at getting a V8 ute now, probably a 6L L76 VZ SS or a VZ Maloo. I'd look at something like an F6 Tornado too, if it wasn't for that live axle rear end.
Has anyone got firsthand experience with these? I've never driven one, so I'm not sure what to expect apart from more boat-like handling, which is okay. I'd be getting a manual in either case, and if I got the SS instead of the Maloo, could probably splurge on a supercharger to waken it up a bit.
I'm sorry to say but this whole JDM wank-fest which has come about over the last few years has made so many once bargain performance cars unobtainable, or a terrible rip off, so getting back in a Nissan is probably off the table for now.
Cheers

Sediment in Coolant?
Has anyone seen this before? I've just bought a 2006 Mitsubishi Triton and it has a brown flaky sediment in the cooling system.
The stuff isn't gooey like oil mixed with water, and instead is a flaky particulate which when rubbed disintegrates into nothing.
It was mostly in the coolant reservoir, accumulated at the bottom of the bottle but also on the walls at the water level. I'd say there was about a half a teaspoon of the stuff in there.
I pulled the upper radiator hose off and it seems to be lining the walls of the hose, however here i had to use my fingernail to scrape it off as opposed to it just rubbing away easily.
I've seen oil mixed with water in head gasket cases but it seems to form a more solid, milky gooey mass. This stuff is more like tiny specs of matter which when rubbed basically just disintegrate like I mentioned above. The car doesn't appear to lose any oil or coolant. I've cleaned it all up and will see if it reappears, just not sure what it is? Possibly hose rot or contaminated coolant?
Pics attached.

Thinking of letting go of my 1996 R33 Gts-t which I have owned for 4 years.
This car is one of the last R33’s that have been kept in immaculate condition. Every modification has been performed with performance and reliability in mind. Every nut and bolt has been torqued to OEM Nissan spec as I am extremely fussy when it comes to working on cars. All modifications were performed in the last 10,000km and nearly all parts were purchased new.

The car has been tuned by Chequered Tuning and currently makes 260rwkw on pump 98, or about 300kw at the flywheel. Very responsive and will chop most things on the road.
Downsides are:
•Front bar has some scratches on the bottom.
•RH rear quarter has a scratch in the clear coat.
Apart from the above the paint is excellent.
The buyer of this car will receive a full folder of receipts totalling over $20,000 as well as dyno sheets for the tune and original Japanese auction papers.
You will not find a cleaner, more genuine Skyline anywhere else.
Registration is included but RWC will be left up to the buyer.
This car has no finance owing, no stolen history and no written off history.
Inspections are welcome however no one will sit in the drivers seat until I have cash in hand.
The price is $14,000. This is open to negotiation however stupid offers will be ignored.

Buying a R34 - Possible crash damage?
in Four Door Family
Posted · Edited by colourclassic
Hey I've put a deposit on a really clean 4 door GTT. I have a few reservations though which I noticed after inspecting it and leaving a deposit.
The front bonnet latch bracket is black (not grey) and also, I'm not sure if it's my eyes, but the radiator support panel looks like a different colour grey to the rest of engine bay. The car is really tidy but I'm slightly worried now that it's been crashed. The wheel alignment also had a slight pull to the left when driving.
Any panel experts care to weigh in?
