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.

:thumbsup:

I'd love to see how a pair of turbos will pair up with that coupe4 (i'm assuming its one of the limited run of 4WD coupes)... or one really large turbo.

:D

what do you do, and how do u do it?

whoa! what a great garage! i love monaros! its tempting for people to compare HSV's with GTR's, but you cant really, 2 whole diff cars for different markets! both are great cars! i think you will find that most people who have an idea about motoring appreciate them for what they are, its usually the morons that think one car is the be and end all of cars.

It is a Coupe 4 ... and it has a turbo, rather large one too. Has a few other changes too ... pretty much everything actually.

376 awkw ... 11.300 @ 121 mph. Here is a dyno run ...

Nick, who did you place your R35 order through?

I w as told that here is a one year waiting list in Japan. That would translate to well over a year here, if not two years.

Deposit was placed with Nissan Hornsby.

I have read a 3 month wait in Japan, no idea what is correct though. At this stage I have no idea what the wait will be, but I put the deposit down a few days after the car was released in Japan, so hopefully whenever they arrive, I'll get one of the first.

I hope ...

Yeah a guy with to Much Money!!!! You Must Work 80 Hrs a week to Afford all these Toys!!! But hey Tell me the secrets!!!

How Much did you put down on something with out a Price?????

I put down $2,500 ... basically an open order, details to be confirmed.

As for the toys, I work around 70 hours a week, I have my own business so I'm not on a wage. Everything I earn goes to me. I have also had luck with investments over the years ... and to top it off, I have an understanding wife that doesn't mind me spending money on the cars.

The GTS is hers ... dual 3 inch exhaust, CAI and tune ... 265 rwkw. It gets the kids to school really fast.

:rofl:

Do you wanna Swap Mrs' then!!!! lol! You can have mine and a 32 GTR and i'll have yours and the 3 commies and a GTR!! lol!

if its only just beating the zo6 it wont have any chance with that

its lighter

more powerful

and actually has decent suspension

The ZR1 is actually heavier then the Z06, by around 150kg. The V-spec would give it a run i suppose but hey, we're all guessing aren't we?

    • After using a protractor for an actually accurate assessment of what is required,  and by NOT using my uncalibrated eyeball I worked out I need a 25° silicone bend from the TB ro the MAF, but, my choice was either a 30° or a 23° (23° is a weird spec), so I grabbed the 23° one from Raceworks I also grabbed 1mtr of 3" straight from Just Jap, I needed 350mm, but they only had 300mm, or 1mtr lengths....meh Also ordered a 1/2" hose bulkhead fitting from fleabay, this has a smoothish mushroom looking head (they are designed for below the water line of boats) that will fit inside the bend, the hose bit and threaded bit looks to long, but nothing that a hacksaw cannot fix if required, the hose will then just get jamed on the threaded bit up to the retaining nut Fingers crossed and the unsightly amount of hose clamps will be reduced down to 4 once all the parts arrive 
    • Oil change does not trigger code 21. Code 21 is for coilpacks primary side connection. You can try to clear the code with a battery disconnect, hold down the brake pedal to drain capacitors through the brake lights with the ignition on for 10-15 seconds before you reconnect the battery. I have seen R35 coil conversion permanently cause this code with no ill effects so it might be the resistance it wants to see isn't quite right on one or more coilpacks. Could be inside the ECU, could be the harness, could be a coil. You can test it all if you want or just ignore until the car actually starts misfiring.
    • I forgot you have a Nistune ECU. Use Nistune to do all the tests I mentioned instead of faffing with 30+ year old electrical connectors. You can read MAF volts off that too, there are reference values in the service manual to tell you roughly what it should be in different conditions.
    • No. I think it might be the AFM. Hence the use of the terms "swaptronics", which implies the use of swapping out electronics for the purpose of diagnosis. It's about the only way to prove that a small/niggling/whatever problem with an AFM or a CAS or similar is actually caused by that AFM/CAS/whatever. A known good item swapped in that still gives the same problem is likely to be caused somewhere else. They're all the same. Spraying AFMs with cleaner is an each way bet between cleaning it and f**king it.
    • Oh wow! This might actually work amazingly. Do you know the ratio of the diff? I was told the only thing you need to make sure of is if the front & rear diff ratios are the same. Ours is a 4.083 Thanks!
