Just checked out the new HSV range at their website. I like it execpt for the rear tail lights to small or something, just dont look right to me.

Only an extra 10kw was added taking peak power to 307kw, the GTS doesnt have any more power than the clubsport which is disapointing I thought it should have at least an extra 50kw or so. its suspention sounds impressive magnetic ride control (MRC) it offers different modes of handling/comfort. Anyway what do you all recon?

cheers

Im a bit skeptical on the 0-100 time, mainly cos its a heavy mofo of a car......

But I quite like the new shape - I have seen the same red ss around the mount waverley, monash uni area - looks pretty nice. The only downfall is, the car is soo big, that I wont be able to see over the steering wheel....

0-100 4.96 seconds? thats pretty f**kin fast for a holden

I'll believe the 0-100 time when I see it independently verified by Wheels/Motor magazines. They reckoned the old 300kW CB4 powered GTS commies could do 4-point-something, but they never did...and the new barge will be even heavier. Looks like Commonwhores are being riced-up at the factory these days....sorry, just remembered the '96 VS GTS-R 'Bannana Boat'.

They did get 5.1 seconds out of the VTII GTS from memory pretty darn quick. The base model is said to weigh 100kg's more than the previus model. So I recon the HSV version would not be much under 2 tonne bloody heavy for a sports car.

The car is fine apart from the rear lights... A HUGE let down for the whole car.

Bad move by holden, more weight, worse fuel economy. But hell hopefully the LS2 + a little more top end power helps push it along quicker than the previous model..

Nothing wrong with going quicker and quicker from factory. :)

Looking at it more closely it looks pretty good I think, lines flow pretty good. Other than that back bit above the light, thats a bit messed up with pannel joints. Seats look nice and comfy for the average person whos going to buy these. If its true about the braking then they pull up bloody fast.

Stereo I dunno about, I think 11 speakers is over kill if they were to do a true premium sound like the Audi A8 or something, but hey most people again wont know what its meant to be like, so they will think its cool.

Really end of the day doesnt matter cause they cant make anymore atm can they!

      I'll probably be putting the shit box back on the dyno again soon, I want to dial in the closed loop boost control properly. I'll have a camera facing the car/motor for fun too. Just note, there are essentially 3x 10AN inlets going into the catch can and 1x going back to the intake pipe. Most of the time the catch can "return" to the sump actually is the crank case breather, pushing air out.

      I have the R3C with a Nismo slave and by no means does it behave like a stocker, it ain’t THAT bad. On take off just give a bit more throttle than you would say a coppermix and it’s fine. It will not slip though.

      Yet another RB Neo misfiring thread after reading all the others.

      Okay. Final round of testing done. Got a friend to hook up a fancy scanner to the car and we also ran some compression and leakdown tests, she is healthy.  The MAF was definitely the culprit. So for future reference anyone with similar issues that find this thread. I suggest the following steps, in order of affordability:   Check your spark plugs for any fouling, replace plugs if they are bad or re adjust the gaps making it narrower (0.8mm would be good). Check every coil's resistance with a multimeter. It can be done by probing the IB and G pins on the coil pack. Resistance should be around 1.4 (+/- 0.1) Ohms Check the MAF. If you have Nissan connect or a good scanner with the 14 adapter it should allow you to see the voltage on the MAF reading should be around 1.1 - 1.2V when car is idling. But if you don't, buy a new MAF from Amazon and test, then return it. (For instance, I got a Chinese one for $40 that was reporting 1.3v on idle). If you still have scanner, you can run tests on the injectors to see if they are working, just remember to unplug the fuel pump fuse/relay and have no pressure on the line. Then listen for the noises that the injectors make. Clean/replace injectors as needed. Once you find the issue and fix, order thousands of dollars worth of OEM parts to refresh unrelated things (Optional)   PS: Thanks to the absolute legends of this forum for the responses and help to someone that went a bit over their head.
