Hey,

Has anyone had a run with a HSV COUPE (GTS or GTO).

I was driving down Epping Road yesterday and had a Yellow HSV COUPE scream past me...

I can't tell which one it was as it was badged.

It was either the 255 kw or 300 KW job (probably the 255, hence the reason why he badged it).

Ohh did I mention he was on his P's. hahah Big bloke in the car (just looked funny). My first thought was he had been done for speeding and lost his license or somethoing like that.

So anyways had a little run and he couldn't pull away from me...

I also noticed when the corner got a little tight he couldn't hold the car in the lane and it started skipping (I guess you could say) into the next lane...Where moine just sat very flat on the road..

Regards

LOL.

I had a quick run with a GTS 300kw sedan one night.

I've got to say that it sounded really nice.

Anyway, the old 3rd gear got him :) I pulled away in the mid/high 3rd gear. I didn't scream away from him, but it was pulling away.

At that stage I only had a 3 inch exhaust, pod and 12psi boost.

I've run a 255kW Clubsport R8, and I have to say it was pretty damned close - dead level actually, except after ~160 I pulled away (until I hit the limiter). Mind you, it didn't sound like it had the stock exhaust on it so maybe it had slightly more power than stock, maybe it didn't, I dunno.

I had a play with the 300kW Monaro a couple of months ago too. Unfortunately I was on the 'Blade though - the Skyline would've probably been more fun. Anyway, he had me level pegged in the corners (cos I'm a wuss) but on the straights it was like kicking a puppy :P The bloke was pretty cool, he gave me a bit of a wave and a smile, and even kicked it out a little bit as he took his turnoff... wicked :(

At a track day a while back, on the twisty bits I was all over the GTO's. Had more corner speed and could brake a lot later than them. There were about 3 of them. Coming on the straight though, they've got torque and plenty of it.

PFC should fix that problem now.

He He so the old 3rd eh ... funny about that as thats usually when my LS1 does its best work

I don't usually get a look in in 1st gear usually start to match em in 2nd and 3rd is when it all happens for me the gen 111's start to hunt em down.

The Skyline is a very nice car guys so is the humble Commie, its been a learning experience perusing your Forums.

Cheers :burnout:

Could someone please explain to me why Mel always gets picked on by Commodores. Wollongong was a great example last friday night. We were just out for a cruise after dinner at Stanwell Park and looking for a Mobil servo down there and all we got was clowns after a piece of her. Look out the day she decides enough is enough,,,theres gonna be some very pissed off aussie muscle. Then again,,,I should stop having 3 beers at dinner,,,cause I won't put up with that crap.

Neil.

beware of a black commy monaro getting around sydney as the last time i was at 'the creek' there was one running around a flat 12 or high 11 (around this - my memory fails me at times). either way it was quicker than any skyline was on that particular night

it looked quite std but didn't sound it.

      98 R34GTT 4k engine stumble

      By JC71 · Posted

      forgot to mention that when it does this it does not kill the engine, but I have not kept the pedal down long enough to let it, as I see no reason to beat up on it as its got to be something simple, small and dumb causing this.  And as soon as I let off pedal, the engine returns to its normal super smooth operation and rpms re-stabilize quickly, once below 4k.

      98 R34GTT 4k engine stumble

      By JC71 · Posted

      neither stumble or cut really seem to be an appropriate term....hard to explain its like a rev limiter but at 4k, but it violently shakes engine and entire vehicle as the rpms will not rise over 4k, even with slow acceleration. as soon as it hits 4k, it sounds like entire spark is lost entirely. plugs were 1.1 which I used as such, but later put in new plugs gapped down to .8 changed back after issue arose when I replaced the coils, still does it with either plug gap...damn and it was all running so good.

      Why am I hitting a power wall with my stroked RB25?

      By TurboTapin · Posted

      Oh how times have changed! I actually lean it out relative to my water/methanol injector duty cycle. The methanol adds a lot of fueling and you can then lean it out even more due to reduced knock.

      Yeah my thoughts are the same, a well thought out WMI setup, would be slightly ahead of just straight E85 and you're also chemically intercooling the charged air, dropping it even further. This is why you need to add so much more fuel as soon as you spray. I remember someone taking me through their set up before (Dennis, has a R33, lives around Cabramatta - no idea if he's still around on this forum). He would target AFR 10:1 on 98, then as WMI ramped on, AFR would lean back up to 11:1. Amazingly, he did this all through his PowerFC, a relay to cut power to his EBC solenoid if there was not enough line pressure on his WMI kit. And of course, if there wasn't any boost made above gate pressure, you wouldn't be accessing the load cells with heaps of timing for WMI. One downside to that rudimentary setup, once the WMI came on, the EBC would unleash the dragon, and of course all the timing. Tyres would fry lol.
