looks like it could be the new commodore from the states if you look at that back picture and imagine the lights, looks very much like the ones we see today

cheers

thats what im thinking - gto like grill, vy style tail lights, n it resembles the ve proto they showed..

plus the "mules" they test are left hand drive, as per previous model eg. vy

novak

I'm in Broken Hill. Ive seen the car for a couple of days now, but this time I happened to have a camera handy.

Next time crack the shell open dude.

Just make sure no-one is looking and go to town on the thing.

Get pics under the car too... might help seeing whats running underneaths :)

btw it isnt illegal to take pictures in a public place... in america it is. here its only in private that u arent allowed without permission

id say commo aswell.... y dont u rip off some panels n take a squizz?

give ya a clue ghuys, we dont make mirrors in australia, for hyundi, kia or any eurpoean cars, so doesnt leave much to pick from...............

i cant say much more other wise i could get into trouble i recon!

I don't think it's a VE Commodore

Looking at the front grill and the roofline I would almost say that it may even be the next generation Falcon, but I doubt it

I'm pretty stumped to be honest

Could be quite legitimate to bring a European car down here for testing. Europe doesnt experience the temperatures somewhere like Broken Hill would get.

What letter is under the EU circle of stars? That will tell you the country of origin in theory. :D

Looks very Volvo like as their lines have been getting softer over the years.

Saw a prototype Rolls when I lived in the UK in Stratford Upon Avon. Phantom I think it was. This was back in 2000 though.

I'll put my 2c on it being the new magna, rear tail lights, general crappy shape, door handles... and the mirrors :D

Unless ford or holden are going back to the early 90's shape, I dont think it is either of them.

the mirrors and antenna look pretty european..... but if your a european car manufacturer, why would you bring prototypes, or unreleased models to australia........?? Photoshooting??  Also has those european style plates.........

Australia has the harshest conditions! Alot of vehicle testing goes on in the middle of nowhere in NT and SA.

    • Thanks Duncan, that's the best info I've read. Furthermore after learning about the PCM programming side controlling the factory boost solenoid, the purpose of the solenoid is to "bleed" boost when pin 25 is earthed, thus allowing spring pressure in the wastegate actuator to overcome diaphragm boost pressure, thus closing or reducing the position of the wastegate flap creating more boost as the turbo is able to spin faster. It's pretty cool to see a designated Pill to do exactly this, would have liked to have seen it with a tiny filter over the end for those moments in vacuum.  The constant bleed pill has now been removed completely from the system and solenoid boost control has been restored once again.   Case closed 😂
    • The wideband reading is meaningless if it's not running. Why are you using shitty old sidefeeds on any engine, let alone a Neo? What manifold and fuel rail are you using to achieve that? Beyond that, can't help you with AEM stuff as I've never been their ECU/CAS combo.
    • Manual boost controllers (where a little of the boost was bled off) were quite common back in the day, because they were cheap and easy. Generally they had a manual adjustment screw rather than being fixed like yours. Down side is they always bleed boost, not just when you want them to so an electronic boost controller that uses a solenoid will have less lag.
    • Hello , im new here and i have A31 home build  RB25det neo stock eng / turbo  aem ems 2 blue connector  aem 3.5 map aem cas disk aem wideband connected to ecu  355 lph pump 550 nismo yellow injectors side feed aftermarket regulator  and won’t start with base aem tuner basic tune eventually flipped cas 180 degree so it triggers on correct stroke not in exhaust cycle  Now it won’t start Wideband reads 10 and 11 at lowest fuel setting  and will share calibrations soon for aem tuner i think something is wrong in aem tuner    please if you have any information, am very grateful         
    • Legend. I ended up finding the facebook account of the owner of the first car i sent but sadly he deactivated the account. I think you’re right in saying it’s some sort of well done custom job. Really appreciate your help anyways.
