So what 1/4 mile time does your Munroe run on normal street tires Luke.

Hey shaun. i have'nt actually ran the car yet as i get SFA time to myself.

Looking to get to heathcote towards the end of august

Need some help guys, my mates at work all love cars that are 4.5+ L displacement engines. every time someone buys milk or juice it becomes a chance for me and the car to cop shit.

My favourite is still, "only cask wine comes in 5L"....but they're bogans, so they might think its boutique.

Or, perhaps, "Hey, HSV finally hit 300kW with their 6.0L LS series engines! Welcome to where Nismo had a 2.8L RB back in 1996. I knew you guys were slow, but I didn't think it'd take you 11 years to catch up."

Mentioning Bathurst is a bit tired these days. You could bring up how many Targa Tasmania victories a big bore V8 has taken in recent history, compared to a 3.6L Porsche, 2.6L GT-R, or 2.0L WRX. Or ask them which side of 8 minutes the Commodore runs at the Nurburgring.

There's plenty of ammunition out there.

2.5lt v8s can make big power... but stuff all torque... how could they pull thier boats otherwise ? its all design for purpose.

i still want an s2000 with a supercharged lexus quad cam v8

but i want allot of things.

money money moneeeeyyyyyy.... moneyyy!

putting a rag in one of their petrol tags and lighting it up is always a nice, friendly way to settle things.

failing that, have sex with one of their parents/siblings/children and send them the photos - that's always a good situation neutraliser.

good luck

How about getting a frontal lobotomoy like all the other wingnuts arguing over this rubbish. If you like cars then you like all cars. If you are so brand loyal then half the time you think your car is a fashion label or you care more about what other ppl think of your car...which really is missing the point

LOL...hey, truth hurts. Thats my take on things anyway :down:

I have a respect for any car that is worthy of it. Any person who feels the need to talk rubbish about any car based purely on ignorance is not an enthusiast. And thus i wouldnt waste my breath talking to them about something im so passionate about.

Well before you start writing off large displacement yank cars, make sure that they are in fact inferior. I think you will find plenty of American muscle cars that are a awesome machines

Or try this guy in any Jap car!

Your doing well to keep up with these! :)

i just tell them that if my 2.5l makes 346rwkws your 5.7l would have tomake 788 rwkws to be any where near as efficient. and seing how gts-t weighs only 1370kgs and a vx monaro weighs in excess of 1700kgs,i rest my case. had a mate at work tell me that even though he concedes that my skyline would beat his vx gto monaro in a race , that his mates 10 sec vl would destroy me lol! whats he trying to say about his car?

i don't know why there has to be such a divide anyway. i love all fast, powerful and sexy cars! give me a camaro rs ss any day! i could just look at and rub my crotch on it all day long....mmmm

the only come back i've got is, if it aint a nissan theres parts missin... and that grows old very quick.

help me with some come backs to these fuel guzzelling barstards!

only cheap wine comes in 5l

Its like the Melbourne vs Sydney thing,

- there is no right answer, they both have pro's and cons, though I think there is more of both of those in Sydney!! :thumbsup:

I love em all, 4's 6's and V8's, hmmm.. actually anything that ignites and goes BANG!

    • I guess one thing that might be wrong is the manifold pressure.  It is a constant -5.9 and never moves even under 100% throttle and load.  I would expect it to atleast go to 0 correct?  It's doing this with the OEM MAP as well as the ECU vacuum sensor. When trying to tune the base map under load the crosshairs only climb vertically with RPM, but always in the -5.9 column.
    • AHHHH gotchaa, I'll do that once I am home again. I tried doing the harness with the multimeter but it seems the car needed a jump, there was no power when it was in the "ON" position. Not sure if I should use car battery jump starter or if its because the stuff that has been disconnect the car just does send power.
    • As far as I can tell I have everything properly set in the Haltech software for engine size, injector data, all sensors seem to be reporting proper numbers.  If I change any injector details it doesnt run right.    Changing the base map is having the biggest change in response, im not sure how people are saying it doesnt really matter.  I'm guessing under normal conditions the ECU is able to self adjust and keep everything smooth.   Right now my best performance is happening by lowering the base map just enough to where the ECU us doing short term cut of about 45% to reach the target Lambda of 14.7.  That way when I start putting load on it still has high enough fuel map to not be so lean.  After 2500 rpm I raised the base map to what would be really rich at no load, but still helps with the lean spots on load.  I figure I don't have much reason to be above 2500rpm with no load.  When watching other videos it seems their target is reached much faster than mine.  Mine takes forever to adjust and reach the target. My next few days will be spent making sure timing is good, it was running fine before doing the ECU and DBW swap, but want to verify.  I'll also probably swap in the new injectors I bought as well as a walbro 255 pump.  
    • It would be different if the sealant hadn't started to peel up with gaps in the glue about ~6cm and bigger in some areas. I would much prefer not having to do the work take them off the car . However, the filler the owner put in the roof rack mount cavities has shrunk and begun to crack on the rail delete panels. I cant trust that to hold off moisture ingress especially where I live. Not only that but I have faded paint on as well as on either side of these panels, so they would need to come off to give the roofline a proper respray. My goal is to get in there and put a healthy amount of epoxy instead of panel filler/bog and potentially skin with carbon fiber. I have 2 spare rolls from an old motorcycle fairing project from a few years back and I think it'd be a nice touch on a black stag.  I've seen some threads where people replace their roof rack delete with a welded in sheet metal part. But has anyone re-worked the roof rails themselves? It seems like there is a lot of volume there to add in some threads and maybe a keyway for a quick(er) release roof rack system. Not afraid to mill something out if I have to. It would be cool to have a cross bar only setup. That way I can keep the sleek roofline that would accept a couple bolts to gain back that extra utility  3D print some snazzy covers to hide the threaded section to be thorough and keep things covered when not using the rack. 
    • Probably not. A workshop grade scantool is my go to for proper Consult interrogation. Any workshop grade tool should do it. Just go to a workshop.
