"Both the Camaro and an altogether different-looking Monaro are expected to begin right-hand drive production late in 2009 or early 2010."

either way, if i was the guy who paid a shitload for the last monaro and they brought a new one out i'd be suing.

i heard it may be released here as a monaro, which will really piss off the fella that paid 100k for the last monaro.

Last news in the car mags is that the car with that shell will be sold here as a Camaro.

They may also give it a "Monaro" body as well, but that's less guaranteed.

The 2009 Camaro looks like a revamped '69 Camaro with a goodly amount of '69 Ford Mustang in the lines........all that is old is new again. But I gotta admit, they sure beat the crap out of the prosaic modern offerings that - but for a badge change - all look the same.

Thats right it was designed here in australia. I know of the guy that was taking it home before it was released.

GM sent down down their lead designers down to do the project. I met them at a bar including the chief designer of the project. He wouldnt say too much except that it would be really good. This was end of 2005

Very old thread I know, but seeing Johnny's avatar reminded me.

A couple of weeks ago I was on my way to work and driving down from Pakenham to Koo Wee Rup when, after overtaking a slowass, I noticed a large wide black arse of a car in front of me. Upon closer inspection it was a new murdered out (black paint, black wheels) Camaro (left hand drive) and must have been on it's way to the Lang Lang proving grounds.

It was pissing down and he was sitting behind another slowass (80 in 100 zone) so I went past both cars, making sure to have a good look at the Camaro as I went past.

He must've gotten a bee in his bonnet because he soon overtook the slowass and basically camped on my bumper.

I decided to speed up a bit, and I guess he really wanted to go past me (which he eventually did).

He turned off toward Lang Lang never to be seen again.

Now I gotta say that I loved the new Camaro. Thought it was one of the best looking cars...

But having seen one from most angles on the "flesh", I have gotta say that they are VERY large. The hips are higher than a VE's, it is wider than my M35 and if I didn't know better, I would say that it was built by Hyundai in the mid 1990's.

Extremely disappointed.

Not only that, but it does not have nearly as much guts as I thought it would! No sound either!! :)

Another vehicle letdown.

Bring on the Challenger! Now that looks the goods :)

      TPS voltage RB25DET

      By BASHERnissan · Posted

      Hi guys my TPS voltage is reading over 2v at idle.  My Haltech ECU is reading around 40% throttle position at idle also which is really strange. Note the actual throttle position sensor is brand new…    anyone have any experience with this or know how to calibrate it on Haltech ?

      Cas issue

      By joshuaho96 · Posted

      The OEM disk will not work on any AEM ECU, you need to use the one they made. You shouldn't have to flip the CAS or whatever you were describing, if you set the ignition sync offset correctly it can't backfire. Make sure you're using a spark plug lead on coil 1 instead of the timing loop to avoid weird issues with the timing light. Double check that your timing settings are actually correct, like is the 24 tooth configured correct or should it actually be 12 teeth for 1 crank revolution? I also found this: 305817248-AEM-Undocumented-Settings-v1-2.pdf

      Yeah, I don't believe the M35 uses a deadhead system.

      Have you done your thinking backwards? 3 bar, 43.5 psi pressure drop being the presumed specification for an injector, means you need 3 bar upstream when they are firing into atmospheric pressure, and more upstream pressure than that when on boost (you add your boost to your rail pressure to maintain 3 bar across the injector) and you need..... less pressure upstream when you have vacuum in the manifold. So, presuming that you're idling at -10 psi, then you only need ~23 psi in the rail. I realise that I did not need to say all of that to you specifically Matt, once you'd realised your mistake. It's mostly there for complete clarity for others.

      Have you reached out to the guys at Spool Imports? They are a Ross dealer, I can imagine they would have the rings just sitting on the shelf (I could be wrong).
