In my point of view the Sr20 is a very good engine. Especially for its time... and definatly an enhansement from the CA18 (unless the CA18 is modifed).

yea my s13 had a ca in it... i went that because i didnt want to replace the rods and bearings every 2mths ;)

The Sr20 came out in 1990 correct?

And did 1990 pulsars have an SR20 installed in them? No only the GTiR's (which were already turbo)

Therefore the engine was placed in both of the cars turbocharged at around that time (silvia had turbo SR20 in early 1991)

It wasnt till late 1991 that the n14 pulsars came out in SSS (Sr20) non turbo edition.

I wasn’t aware they came out in the Pulsar's until 1991, well there you go learn something new everyday :D

I just can’t take an all alloy motor serious when it comes to serious power ;)

No argument they aren’t better in stock form… I just can think of better motors I’d want to own (I’ve had an Sr20 before). That I think we all agree, they sound pretty… crap.

How about the massive "BRAND NAME" stickers people bust out along their window, for things that are loosely related such as "well i drive a holden piazza so i'll put a HSV sticker on" or "my car has stock speakers, made by clarion, so i'll advertise there product for them in 800pt letters."

VT commodores with shopping lists?

PS dig ur sig, thats awesome

I remember years ago I saw an Excel with huge TURBO stickers that took up the bottom of the doors on both sides of the car. He nailed it beside me and it was definitely not turbo (no induction noise and slow as hell), but it DID have one of those godawful "turbo" tips on the exhaust... It also had an enormous spoiler, and when quizzed he explained that it was for "traction off the line".

We have an Excell simmilar to that here in Ballarat , Huge wing, Greddy and HKS stickers plastered all over it, a hot pink interior and to top it off a bloke drives it.

lol at the army men, i think anyone who needs to advertise the make of their car in ginormous letters (800pt) somewhere on the car, its like, we know its a holden...

guy at my work has a huge holden sticker either side of the car down the bottom of the doors...

and there are plenty of them out that way lol :)

Yeah, but its been like 20x more entertaining surely!?

of course it is.....

but tonight was following a old 88 ish pular with a cannon, 20 kgs of rust and an autosalon sticker...go figure...

while drivin through Inala I saw:

VP commonwhore with chrome hubcaps(chrome flaking off), metallic salmon pink paint, one of those supercheap cannons and get this....

400KW stickers made from maskin tape on the back AND sides and those lightning bolt style SS badges from a VX/VY. It was a v6 auto. Even though I was driving my sisters barina auto I still felt cooler than him. :laughing-smiley-014: :laughing-smiley-014: :laughing-smiley-014:

Oh and while in victoria about 5 years ago I saw an old holden ute(not sure what year probably mid seventies) pi$$ yellow paint, more spotlights than a kenworth, aluminium side skirts, mudflaps front and back, roof racks for guns, bull bar, and enough rum stickers to cover the whole rear of the car and back window and to top it off he was wearing an akubra hat at 11 pm at night.

hi-lux surf with twin cannon mufflers and a fake 600x 300 FMIC (no piping but has the silicone joiners) HAHAHAHA must work up the road from my work and i had to walk past it this morning, laughed all the way to work..

TezGT-R - you can see that same ute and 100s just like it in toowoomba every friday and saturday night, lapping the main street. i once saw a ute with two giant aerials turn on to the main street and they were still swaying side to side 200m later. bogans. other utes with mack mudflaps and anything up to 12 aerials...

one of the best threads on sau imo

anything with a pic of me is

Mate, I hope somebody snaps you in half and jams u sideways into a chinese muffler and turns the key on and revs the little snot box up to 6500rpm and burns your poor, sad, little man syndrome butt!

Buzz off if your not interested in adding relivant material.. :P

on topic:

Spotted a poor sad VL ss yesterday. being driven very hard by a backward hat wearing noob with 3 dweebs. 2 different chromed hub caps, black front bumper which was half ripped off, pass door was kicked in and only 1 of the 4 brake lights worked. But the humble old 5L sounded pritty darned good for her age! it had a custom puff of oil smoke on gear changes.. the sadest thing was it had chopped springs. it was bottoming out everywhere on our wonderful roads!

Love the topic haha.... Cos you know as your are typing something you are laughing to yourself cos you know that someone wh HAS that car is probably going to read it lol....

Just when I thought it was getting back on topic... time for a cleanup

Mystery kid, a word of advice - having a laugh is all well and good, and a bit of ribbing is great... but there's a not-so-fine balance between humour and irritation, which you've managed to land solidly on the wrong side of. Give it a rest.

Yea thanks Marc..

I saw an old muscle car in the wreckers the other day that I used to see when i was yonger..

It was a real machine in its day. was a tuff 351 (I'm not a ford man either!) shacker, B&M shifter and trans kit, big wheels(for its day), big exhaust and all the usual guages. The wrecker bought it for..

get this.. $1000. the guages are still worth that!

Now thats a car that should be put back together and put back on the street! We will swap it for 15 snot rockets.. hahahaha!

    • Hi, is the HKS  Tower Bar still available ? negotiable ? 🤔
    • From there, it is really just test and assemble. Plug the adapter cables from the unit into the back of the screen, then the other side to the car harness. Don't forget all the other plugs too! Run the cables behind the unit and screw it back into place (4 screws) and you should now have 3 cables to run from the top screen to the android unit. I ran them along the DS of the other AV units in the gap between their backets and the console, and used some corrugated tubing on the sharp edges of the bracket so the wires were safe. Plug the centre console and lower screen in temporarily and turn the car to ACC, the AV should fire up as normal. Hold the back button for 3 sec and Android should appear on the top screen. You need to set the input to Aux for audio (more on that later). I put the unit under the AC duct in the centre console, with the wifi antenna on top of the AC duct near the shifter, the bluetooth antenna on the AC duct under the centre console The GPS unit on top of the DS to AC duct; they all seem to work OK there are are out of the way. Neat cable routing is a pain. For the drive recorder I mounted it near the rear view mirror and run the cable in the headlining, across the a pillar and then down the inside of the a pillar seal to the DS lower dash. From there it goes across and to one USB input for the unit. The second USB input is attached to the ECUtec OBD dongle and the 3rd goes to the USB bulkhead connected I added in the centre console. This is how the centre console looks "tidied" up Note I didn't install the provided speaker, didn't use the 2.5mm IPod in line or the piggyback loom for the Ipod or change any DIP switches; they seem to only be required if you need to use the Ipod input rather than the AUX input. That's it, install done, I'll follow up with a separate post on how the unit works, but in summary it retains all factory functions and inputs (so I still use my phone to the car for calls), reverse still works like factory etc.
    • Place the new daughterboard in the case and mount it using the 3 small black rivets provided, and reconnect the 3 factory ribbon cables to the new board Then, use the 3 piggyback cables from the daughterboard into the factory board on top (there are stand offs in the case to keep them apart. and remember to reconnect the antenna and rear cover fan wires. 1 screw to hold the motherboard in place. Before closing the case, make a hole in the sticker covering a hole in the case and run the cable for the android unit into the plug there. The video forgot this step, so did I, so will you probably. Then redo the 4 screws on back, 2 each top and bottom, 3 each side and put the 2 brackets back on.....all ready to go and not that tricky really.      
    • Onto the android unit. You need to remove the top screen because there is a daughterboard to put inside the case. Each side vent pops out from clips; start at the bottom and carefully remove upwards (use a trim remover tool to avoid breaking anything). Then the lower screen and controls come out, 4 screws, a couple of clips (including 3 flimsy ones at the top) and 3 plugs on the rear. Then the upper screen, 4 screws and a bunch of plugs and she is out. From there, remove the mounting brackets (2 screws each), 4 screws on the rear, 2 screws top and bottom and 3 screws holding in the small plates on each side. When you remove the back cover (tight fit), watch out for the power cable for the fan, I removed it so I could put the back aside. The mainboard is held in by 1 screw in the middle, 1 aerial at the top and 3 ribbon cables. If you've ever done any laptop stuff the ribbon cables are OK to work with, just pop up the retainer and they slide out. If you are not familiar just grab a 12 year old from an iphone factory, they will know how it works The case should now look like this:
    • Switching the console was tricky. First there were 6 screws to remove, and also the little adapter loom and its screws had to come out. Also don't forget to remove the 2 screws holding the central locking receiver. Then there are 4 clips on either side....these were very tight in this case and needed careful persuading with a long flat screw driver....some force required but not enough to break them...this was probably the fiddliest part of the whole job. In my case I needed both the wiring loom and the central locking receiver module to swap across to the new one. That was it for the console, so "assembly is the reverse of disassembly"
