didnt the M3's do 13's?

or was that the later/current models?

Early Ls1's such as VT - VY were like low 14s and I think the series 2 VY onwards in motor finally nailed a 13.9

Thats the LS1's though...

LS2's high 13's from factory

Being an Ex LS1 owner Id rather an M3 :D

The E36 M3 wasn't very fast. 6.0sec 0-60mph and 14.6sec 1/4 mile time. Wasn't until the next generation that the M3 became a rocket. I have no idea what the SS runs in the 1/4, but I have driven the E36 M3 and its nothing to write home about. Only a shade faster than the Viggen and cost $10k more, but thats a different argument entirely. Anyways, look up the 1/4 mile numbers on the Commodore and if its faster than 14.6sec it will beat the M3.

Side note - The M3 would whoop the Commodores ass around a proper track though.

it all depends on what model ls1 it is.

if it was a vt or vx i'd say the m3. later models it would be close. with a good set of tyres a m3 would beat a lot of reasonably stock r33's. i saw one put down 233hp (173kw) at the wheels at a dyno day. it was stock. some old rich guy just wanted to put it on to see what it would get.

      I can get more photos of it here soon and I plan to make a thread detailing the process. I received the car this way and it sorely needs refinishing. That is probably the most appealing photo of it. Up close it is fading, cracked, and needs to be re-glued. Depending on their condition I'm on the fence between refinishing or making a new set.  Another angle hiding the pimples and razor pumps

      Can you mount the ATTESA pump in other locations?

      According to this thread the RS4V with build plate RC40 comes with the R200 diff @ 4.083 ratio as well (mine has said RC40 denotation). We may need to check if the axle stubs are the same pattern as well. The auto subframes have longer axles. However I think yours being a later Series 2 as well, we should have the same bolt pattern for the diff stubs. Unless your upgraded rear also has upgraded axles. Either way, I would not be opposed to pulling the covers to check so I can inspect that  fancy rear core  Also I don't have HICAS. I don't believe that should change things but I hope the people here with heaps more experience than me can correct me if I'm wrong   Let me know if you want to attempt to make this work and I can get some pictures of mine from under the car.

      It's not that straightforward. For example I have had this code because my ignitor/power transistor wires were unplugged. It knows something is wrong but has no idea what it means. If you want to actually diagnose this I recommend following the service manual flowchart for code 21. Ohm out the harness, coilpacks, inspect the ECU, etc. And again, it's entirely possible for there to be no problem at all but if you're running a different coilpack it'll trigger the code because it doesn't like what it sees.

      If it (the code) wasn't still current, it should have gone away by itself by now. No, nothing it 10/10. But it is quite likely. Everything else to do with the ignition could still be responsible (which is wires and connectors). The car is an old piece of shit now, so all the wires and connectors are also old pieces of shit.
