I cant believe no one has commented on this before. That was a total CON!!!

The Bridge to Gantry looks something like this

no compare the START/FINISH to the Nissan GTR

Sorry guys but the lap's not valid, even when you discount the fact that Nissan wasn't using a production car and an independent tester.

Yep its a CON! All Jap cars are mate. Pass another VB.

>

Doesn't even have a V8 in it mate! Who are they kidding? My commodore SV6 towing a boat is faster.

By the way I reckon the new commodore would flog it, and the build quality is crap.

Whatever you do don't buy this car, we don't want this import crap in our fine country!

Good thing you know your way around Germany and it's fine race tracks so well, why I remember you telling us all how you spent a summer there repairing pot holes.......

monaroCountry, your comments are not only important ( I think I speak on behalf of all the 'skyline' forum on this one) they are truely 'the new gospel' for the lost jap import owner.

We salute you! :P

I am releasing a new limited edition pack of monaroCountry's complete trilogy of 'all' his started topics on SAU, where he looks closely at a huge range of interesting vehicles powered by a diverse range of engine types, including;

The fasinating ... " Holden Ve Commodore Wheels Car Of The Year !, VE SSV wins " http://www.skylinesaustralia.com/forums/t153028.html

Who can forget the diversity of "Ve Commodore Secrets Revealed, the new commodore "

http://www.skylinesaustralia.com/forums/t112712.html

or the confrontational "Crazy Gen-tt Skyline Fires Up!, Twin Turbo Skyline"

http://www.skylinesaustralia.com/forums/t152366.html

Order now and recieve a full collection of response posts of what people who can't handle the truth have called "a one eyed view of anything not a Chev V8" but, intellegent people have dubbed a profound collection of commentry work inspired by the holy book of GMC, juxtaposing life in the world against a backdrop of Chev V8 LS series motors.

Has nobody ever seen this before? Taken straight from gtr.co.uk discussion on the lap time :

As the driver comes round the end corner the clock stops at the beginning of the signage. Reckon theres a good 4 or 5 seconds there.

Not wishing to detract from the cars achievements (personally I love it and am seriously thinking of getting one) but I'm a bit miffed that Nissan felt the need to 'fudge' the lap times

TT

Yes you are correct but that's how all the cars is measured at the Ring time attack. it's a standard procedure for all and the short distance inside that line is used as stopping, in and out of the pit and it's also as in and out of the Grand Prix track beside there.. The rule is the same for all cars for the Ring time attack.

It would be good to get your facts straight with a bit of research before posting on the lap time being a total con, monaroCountry.

Cheers,

Steve.

Exactly thats why some publications even go as far as buying/renting a showroom car just to test them. Even if they used the setting for production models, you have to remember that these three development cars have been tuned individually (unlike the cars that come straight off the production line).

hey monobrowCountry. ponder this for a moment.

an R35 GTR weighs about the same as a monaro

it's a two door coupe like the monaro

in it's country of origin it costs the same as a top spec monaro (actually the GTR is about $10,000 cheaper)

it makes nearly 500hp... how much does a monaro have again?

it does 0-100 in under 4 second... how long does the monaro take?

it does the quarter mile in 11 seconds... how long does a monaro take?

it laps the nurburgring in 7:38.... monaro?

It puts out nearly 500hp from a 3.8 litre engine.... how much does the monaro make with it's near 6 litre capacity?

nissan has great quality and reliability... does monaro?

Don't get my wrong, I love monaros. for the money they cost they deliver great looks, performance and comfort of cars above their price. I also don't feel the need to sign up to holden forums to rubbish their product. so what is your problem with the R35 GTR? It's a great car, and personally I can't wait to get my paws on one.

Forget it baron, these guys have had the rags on since bathurst way back and nothing will change their minds.

LMAO

MonaroCountry has just posted his finding on the LS1 forum

:P

http://www.ls1.com.au/forum/showthread.php...109&page=10

He's also posted on the Overclockers Australia Motoring section

I think his life's mission is to hate the GTR

Yeah- but there's nowhere to hook a dingy to the back of a GT-R

how are you 'sposed to take all ur mates fishin and get drunk on slabs of XXXX gold?, maaaate :P

Thats what the Landcruiser is for.....so you have a second unreliable jap crap in the garage..

c'mon buddy. I saw you reading. I'm curious to see your reply. don't go shy now.

actually

it would be interesting to see what times a HRT 427 coupe would do

i mean they promoted here in Oz as a supercar beater, beating the likes of lambo,porsche ferrari etc

yeah a 427 would be kick arse. and no doubt very quick around the ring. but sadly they only made a couple and cost near enough to $300grand from memory.

They were also built to cheat against legitimate production cars.

I bet GMH were never going to release them, they just wanted their ozzie metal to compete with the rest of the worl, but they could not do it without cheating.

monarocountry, u have polluted this and other forums for a while now with bs, now i understand ur cause, but to be honest ur not doing aussie cars any favours, i like aussie cars for what they are, but when u come on here claiming this shit it really makes the aussie car enthusiast community look bad. how about maybe trying to come on here and say, ok yeh thats impressive, congrats to nissan, i have a few questions ra ra ra etc etc.

much respect to how the majority of memebers of LS1.com are handling it, not just the same imports vs aussie car bs.

    • just an update to this, poor man pays twice  Tried sanding down the pulleys but it didnt do the trick. Chucked another second hand alternator in the na car which I got for free off my mate and its fixed the squelling. Must have been unlucky with the bearings.    As for my turbo car, I managed to pick up a cwc rb alternator conversion bracket + LS alternator for 250 off marketplace, looked to be in really good nick. Installed it , started the car and its not charging the battery.... ( Im not good with auto elec stuff so im not sure if this was all I needed to do but I verified such by using a multimeter on the battery when the engine was running and I was only getting 12.2v )   I had to modify the earth strap for the new LS alternator , factory earth strap was a 10mm bolt which did not fit the bolt on the LS alternator which was double the size so I cut it off , went to repco bought some ring terminals that fit, crimped it onto the old earth strap and bolted it up to the alternator , started the car and same issue. Ran like shit and was reading 12.2 at the battery.  For a "plug and play" advertised kit thats not very plug and play but alas.  My question is , am I missing something ? Ive been reading that some people recommend upgrading the stock 80 amp alternator fuse to a 140 amp but I dont see how that would stop the alternator charging especially at idle not under load.  Regardless ive pulled it out and am going to get it bench tested by an auto elec tomorrow but it would be handy to know if ive missed something silly or have done something wrong.   
    • My wild guess is that you have popped off an intake pipe....check all of the hoses between the turbo and the throttle for splits or loose clamps.
    • Awesome, thanks for sharing!
    • To provide more specific help, more information is needed. What Android screen? What is its wiring diagram? Does the car's wiring have power at any required BAT and ACC wires, and is the loom's earth good?
    • So, now all you need to do is connect the 2 or 3x 12v feeds into the unit to permanent 12v, ACC 12V and IGN 12V that you can find in the spot behind the stereo, and the earth, and then it will switch on with the car.
