HaHa Quote of the thread!

I think if you can afford an r35 any HSV will seem a tiny dot in the rear view mirror.

Don't be too cocky ... I've got one that does an 11.300 ET on street tyres @ street pressure (obviously not stock).

No way would it stay with an R35 around corners, but I'd have it in a straight line.

Have you got a 35 On order???

great choice mate !!! the wait must be killing you and the test drives must be making your mouth water

The videos are great ... the hi-res pics when it was first released started it all off, the more I see the better it looks.

It is a long wait though, I just hope I don't overhype it and get disappointed when it arrives ... I gotta say, based on the video in this thread, I think that's pretty unlikely.

have Nissan given you any inside info ? costings $$$ ??

is it just me or do american vet drivers seem as dumb as australian hsv/fpv drivers;o lol ive seen vids of co6's getting beaten by 300zx's and turbo civics etc but yet they dont want to hear that any car can be better

also about the comment saying that the gtr couldnt go anty quiker then 11.6 and 0-60mph faster, well the article did say it was just done on some random track/road with low grip surface, with street tyres, and also mentioned that it lost alot of traction before the awd kicked in to compensate, just imagine on a track with a full redline launch with slicks!

Bunch of loosers hey! Typical Americans that Love there GMC/Ford Crap and something else comes along like a GTR and they cant accept a Import to there LANDS! oiiiiii NISSAN, stuff america,tell the Captain of the Ship full of GTR's To set Sail For AUS instead!!

Love to Know how a Family Man with a Mortgage and Wife Can Afford a New GTR!!! TELL ME THE SECRETS!!!! lol!

I could say the same for half the nissan owners on this forum. I mean what's with the constant holden/ford bashing? and bagging their owners. I've never owned a commodore or falcon but that doesn't stop me recognising that they have made some great value cars in their time. I love the new HSV senators. they look awesome, and they have a big powerful V8, nice leather interior, much improved build quality and nice, modern styling. and cost around $100K. pretty decent if you ask me.

GTRs are great but if I could afford 20 cars I wouldn't have 20 bloody GTRs in the garage. actually if I didn't spend so much coin on the GTRs I've owned I probably could have 20 cars.

I love the GTRs. They are all great in different ways. but they are not the be all, end all of world motoring.

A bunch of stiff's if you ask me,

I love my GTR's and get's me so cut when people bag them :P .

Even at my work all V8 lover's they tease me, thinking i am the dumb one thinking it's better then gts and gto's and the new R8 they are dead set serious thinking they are faster Then a GTR.

cant really compare the hsv to the gtr (gtr is in teh supa car league :P ).....unless it was the 2002 HSV HRT 427 Concept - it seems that the GTR will still beat that car (according to the figures anyway).

But, it will be interesting to see how it matches up with the replacement for the supra - apparently thats also a bit of a beast (aimed at the supercar league)

so, whos willing to make a guess on how long till we see the GTR listed among the following 10? (from supercars.net)

Top cars of 2007:

1. Bugatti 16/4 Veyron Pur Sang (Best Veryon)

2. Lamborghini Reventon (Styling Renaissance + LP640)

3. Koenigsegg CCXR Edition (1018 bhp, 1.5 million)

4. Ferrari F430 Scuderia (F430 with proper intakes)

5. Lamborghini Gallardo Superleggera (100kg CF Diet)

6. Aston Martin DBS (James Bond's Whip)

7. Mazda Taiki Concept (Most Radical Concept Ever?)

8. Porsche 911 GT2 (Most Powerfull 911 from Porsche)

9. Vector Avtech WX-8 HPV (Revival of the outrageous)

10. Gumpert Apollo Sport (See one on Bullrun 2008)

i like the HSV concept , needs a slightly more aggresive front in my opinion but still nice for 02

i think the Holden drivers here are ok, its just a small minority ,

Thanks mate ... you're right.

I'm a Holden man through and through, below is my garage as it sits today;

I have placed a deposit with Nissan for an R35 as I think it's pretty much the ultimate car. I have posted this fact on the LS1 forum and haven't seen many disagree with me. Basically all the Holden nuts are agreeing, this car is absolutely sensational.

That doesn't mean that Holden's don't have their merits ... that are bloody good cars in a lot of ways.

    • Next on the to-do list was an oil and filter change. Nothing exciting to add here except the oil filter is in a really stupid place (facing the engine mount/subframe/steering rack). GReddy do a relocation kit which puts it towards the gearbox, I would have preferred towards the front but there's obviously a lot more stuff there. Something I'll have to look at for the next service perhaps. First time using Valvoline oil, although I can't see it being any different to most other brands Nice... The oil filter location... At least the subframe wont rust any time soon I picked up a genuine fuel filter, this is part of the fuel pump assembly inside the fuel tank. Access can be found underneath the rear seat, you'll see this triangular cover Remove the 3x plastic 10mm nuts and lift the cover up, pushing the rubber grommet through The yellow fuel line clips push out in opposite directions, remove these completely. The two moulded fuel lines can now pull upwards to disconnect, along with the wire electrical plug. There's 8x 8mm bolts that secure the black retaining ring. The fuel pump assembly is now ready to lift out. Be mindful of the fuel hose on the side, the hose clamp on mine was catching the hose preventing it from lifting up The fuel pump/filter has an upper and lower section held on by 4 pressure clips. These did take a little bit of force, it sounded like the plastic tabs were going to break but they didn't (don't worry!) The lower section helps mount the fuel pump, there's a circular rubber gasket/grommet/seal thing on the bottom where the sock is. Undo the hose clip on the short fuel hose on the side to disconnect it from the 3 way distribution pipe to be able to lift the upper half away. Don't forget to unplug the fuel pump too! There's a few rubber O rings that will need transferring to the new filter housing, I show these in the video at the bottom of this write up. Reassembly is the reverse Here's a photo of the new filter installed, you'll be able to see where the tabs are more clearing against the yellow OEM plastic Once the assembly is re-installed, I turned the engine over a few times to help build up fuel pressure. I did panic when the car stopped turning over but I could hear the fuel pump making a noise. It eventually started and has been fine since. Found my 'lucky' coin underneath the rear seat too The Youtube video can be seen here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uLJ65pmQt44&t=6s
    • It was picked up on the MOT/Inspection that the offside front wheel bearing had excessive play along with the ball joint. It made sense to do both sides so I sourced a pair of spare IS200 hubs to do the swap. Unfortunately I don't have any photos of the strip down but here's a quick run down. On the back of the hub is a large circular dust cover, using a flat head screw driver and a mallet I prised it off. Underneath will reveal a 32mm hub nut (impact gun recommended). With the hub nut removed the ABS ring can be removed (I ended up using a magnetic pick up tool to help). Next up is to remove the stub axle, this was a little trickier due to limited tools. I tried a 3 leg puller but the gap between the hub and stub axle wasn't enough for the legs to get in and under. Next option was a lump hammer and someone pulling the stub axle at the same time. After a few heavy hits it released. The lower bearing race had seized itself onto the stub axle, which was fine because I was replacing them anyway. With the upper bearing race removed and the grease cleaned off they looked like this The left one looked pristine inside but gave us the most trouble. The right one had some surface rust but came apart in a single hit, figure that out?! I got a local garage to press the new wheel bearings in, reassemble was the opposite and didn't take long at all. Removing the hub itself was simple. Starting with removing the brake caliper, 2x 14mm bolts for the caliper slider and 2x 19mm? for the carrier > hub bolts. I used a cable tie to secure the caliper to the upper arm so it was out of the way, there's a 10mm bolt securing the ABS sensor on. With the brake disc removed from the hub next are the three castle nuts for the upper and lower ball joints and track rod end. Two of these had their own R clip and one split pin. A few hits with the hammer and they're released (I left the castle nuts on by a couple of turns), the track rod ends gave me the most grief and I may have nipped the boots (oops). Fitting is the reversal and is very quick and easy to do. The lower ball joints are held onto the hub by 2x 17mm bolts. The castle nut did increase in socket size to 22mm from memory (this may vary from supplier) The two front tyres weren't in great condition, so I had those replaced with some budget tyres for the time being. I'll be replacing the wheels and tyres in the future, this was to get me on the road without the worry of the police hassling me.
    • Yep, the closest base tune available was for the GTT, I went with that and made all the logical changes I could find to convert it to Naturally Aspirated. It will rev fine in Neutral to redline but it will be cutting nearly 50% fuel the whole way.  If I let it tune the fuel map to start with that much less fuel it wont run right and has a hard time applying corrections.  These 50% cuts are with a fuel map already about half of what the GTT tune had.  I was having a whole lot of bogging when applying any throttle but seem to have fixed that for no load situations with very aggressive transient throttle settings. I made the corrections to my injectors with data I found for them online, FBCJC100 flowing 306cc.  I'll have to look to see if I can find the Cam section. I have the Bosch 4.9 from Haltech. My manifold pressure when watching it live is always in -5.9 psi/inHg
    • Hi My Tokico BM50 Brake master cylinder has a leak from the hole between the two outlets (M10x1) for brake pipes, I have attached a photo. Can anyone tell me what that hole is and what has failed to allow brake fluid to escape from it, I have looked on line and asked questions on UK forums but can not find the answer, if anyone can enlighten me I would be most grateful.
    • It will be a software setting. I don't believe many on here ever used AEM. And they're now a discontinued product,that's really hard to find any easy answers on. If it were Link or Haltech, someone would be able to just send you a ECU file though.
