sad thing is, i can see morons buying these things...

it could only be as an image thing as they are crap offroad, the average land cruiser is better as a 4x4, sure hummer 1 had a purpose, but they shouldn't be on the roads and if your going to get a rice mobile 5 cyl hummer 3, why bother...

just to prove the point,

heres a vid for your enjoyment!

i agree about the ones they are sendin here, dont sound like a 'real' hummer, but as for that vid, i dont think that accurately represents real hummers.

real hummers

i reckon this hummer will be as top gear described the porsche boxter,

it will be a car that says "look at me im driving a beast" but yet your life hasnt worked out to the fullest so you have to settle for the cheapest car in their line-up. or in this case, not a real hummer

Slightly off topic, i think this is more interesting.

2 turbos, v12, diesel, 5.5 seconds 0-100km

http://www.webwombat.com.au/motoring/news_...audi-q7-v12.htm

"The 6.0-litre V12 makes its debut in the Audi Q7, generating a stump-pulling 368kW of power (500bhp) and 1000Nm of torque and opens a new chapter in the diesel history books."

Holy mother of god... Not only is that Ferrari F430 matching power, but (discounting the Bugatti Veyron) you're looking at the torquiest new car money can buy (equal with AMG V12s)!

It's not going to be sold as the Holden Hummer.

Holden are simply importing them and selling them. They will remain the H3 Hummer.

I actually like these "vehicles" lol.

They are being imported as direct competitors to the Landcruiser, Pajero, Patrol etc. H3s aren't as massive as you guys think, they look bigger than they are due to the design (i.e, the designers wanted it to look like its bigger brothers), furthermore most people have a picture of H1 and H2 hummers in their heads......

Also all those complaining about the size, how do you deal with trucks, buses etc? They're a whole lot bigger!

In terms of marketing you'll be surprised how big the 4x4 market is (although it has slown down a bit), the car is expected to be priced at approximately 55k, which puts it in a similar range as its direct competitors. Expect it to sell AND sell well.

The same could be argued about GTRs, GTSTs or worse, GTSs.

Faulty logic in my opinion, people have different applications for their money.

Some people might just want a large 4WD and not a monster truck?

    • How many of you guys run the synchro os giken set and at what power? Do you then also use the billet plate?  How is it launching with it, any dragy times from 0-60? 60ft?
    • Oh, also, forgot to add these photos I believe.
    • Thought i'd update on this. I was able to get in contact with Craig Lieberman and later on Darryl Alison (owner of Kaizo Industries). Darryl was able to help me verify that my car was in fact one of theirs and is helping me find more info on mine !
    • There's restrictor pills in the stock boost control hoses. That's how they set the amount that was bled off and hence the "high" boost setting. The usual mod in the day was to remove it and send the "high" boost setting up to about 14 psi.
    • 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 😂
