I spose you can put it on the back of a trailer... and go fishing on it?

Though I dunno why you didn't just by a 33...

Looks similar to a 4 door R33 doesn't it?

Im just joking! I couldn't help my self :P

Nice pickup mate, send it down to HPF and get a twin turbo setup on there and make some decent power :)

These things do sound tuff though!

Yeah they do, I think i heard one in the carpark the other day... form the office!

If it was that, it sounded mean... but it could have been like a Ferrari or something knowing this place :)

But yeah, nice comfy, and roomy cruiser... Take it on a skid pad or two, see how she handles the waves :P

If youre happy thats what matters. They do sound tough.

Dont forget, its a commodore ule! Go get oversized chromies, a subwooooofer, cut the stock springs to dump it, and hang your arm out the window while driving with your music blaring!

Cheers for all the good natured ribbing! :P

Yes yes... its Commodore its a V8 etc..... but its a pretty nice bit of kit. I struggled to find anything else BRAND NEW under 50k that was as good. The R8 is awesome but well out of my price range..... I need to budget for a new fun car too!

Im planning a Street Tuna 12sec package for it, a nice set of Tein Coilovers & tint. Thats it. It is a Daily after all.

Khoa, yep mate 6 speed manual.

Ash, this is the XR6T's replacement. Skidz NYE! The Evo's replacement is on the "to do" list for 2008..... most likely a Series 3 33GTR, if I can find a stock as a rock one. In Sonic Silver.

I'll snap better pix tomorrow, its raining here & I have to go out in it for dinner! Boo!

OMG, Tein made coilover for Holden!!!

12sec package? Its not hard to get those things to run 12 so i have heard. Series 3GTR, you might as well go for an R34 mate :banana:.

      You're going to miss not worrying about rust in the strut towers like the Skyline shitboxes out there

      A few little updates that weren't filmed due to not taking long to do or not interesting enough for their own video. My new K&N Air Filter arrived, I went with an RU-4180 which matched the dimensions of the universal cone filter the car originally had.  The battery had gone flat, while that was charging I tidied up the spaghetti wiring at the bulk head and down the sides of the engine Next job was to swap the stereo The Kenwood harness had the female ISO plugs cut off and the male ISO plugs cut off the adaptor loom and joined with bullet connectors. I ordered in a repair loom through work and re-did it all. New Kenwood unit installed (Android Auto, DAB, Bluetooth, Reverse Camera) The bonnet/hood gas struts have been poor since collecting the car. I couldn't find any suitable replacements locally so took a chance on a pair from AliExpress.  The originals don't use a retaining clip to secure the cup onto the ball fixture, would explain why I struggled for 10-15mins trying to pry off the cups. The ball fixtures unscrew using a 12mm spanner, new ones are the same size. Sadly no photo of them fitted, you're not missing much lol The dished Momo steering wheel got replaced with my Momo Tuner, turns out I ordered counter sunk bolts for the horn trim ring (like they normally are for the steering wheel) instead of allen cap (flat seat)  A terrible photo of a Quaife style gear shift knob I've had stashed in my tool box for many years after purchasing the incorrect thread size (I can see a pattern emerging with ordering incorrect parts...) Also threw in a cup holder and a (empty) Boss Coffee can, because why not

      GT-R clearly the better choice! The 300 is certainly not insaly fast but has a decent amount of poke. Does a nice little drift around the corners with a decent amount of throttle. It's VERY predictable in a slide too.  Feels so progressive! People probably presume there's a 25 year old driving it based on my behaviour this week! 🤣

      Yeah Jap import. Fairlady Z then! I'm a bit the same.  They've been on my radar for a fair while but then just impulsively decided to buy one!  Was going to just buy an NA and add turbos to it later but decided to save the f'ing around and just buy the turbo version.
