Fuel line problem was completely different with the V8's - had something to do with the quality of one of the lines AFAIK.

Holdens are still crap but.....

think its just the quality of the cars themselves....

in the v8's it was that the lines didn't line up properly with the rail or something like that.

and while holden has had quite a few nissan has had a few as well. do a search on silvia 200sx recalls. (not defending holden, just making a point to the green eyed import fan bois, LOL)

haha, i havent heard of this one yet, im an apretice mechaninc and the ve has had heeps of recalss, half of them have dodgy window washer bottles that leek, water leeks throught the floor on rainy days, ecu, bcm need reprograming/ recalibrating all sorts of utha shit too

I drove a ve for the first time today.....it sucked, it's a boat with millions of blind spots and a seat made for a fat ass sales rep.

i loved getting into my stagea afterwards with a smile on my face knowing that it's a billion times better.

well i dunno about australia but im pretty sure here in canada they dont legally have to publish all recalls unless the directly relate to safety

there is plenty of recalls that happen all the time and most people dont know about them for years

Quite correct. Most are done under a mailout to owners and are done during routine servicing as a warranty repair item.

Haha its funny how holden promote that they have sold the most cars, and then couple of hrs later oh and we need 86k of them back cuz they might go up in flames haha oh classic !

"damn we knew we shouldnt of stooged on those fuel lines" :D

    • Welcome. Dont let anyone dissuade you from your dreams. If you want a gtr, keep sabing and you will eventually get one. I feel like if I had have bought stocks, those companies would have gone bust and I would have lost my money.  There's a gamble in everything we buy. I've had good times and bad. But... I've also met my absolute best friend through this network and can't imagine life without them(more like a brother). Keep in mind, some specific mods will change as technology gets better. If you feel like general chat, there's always the wasteland.....
    • Those are some very cutesy barriers! Is that common?
    • Saw this abandoned Honda Fit in a carpark that was getting repaved... they just 'cut around it' and continued with the job! There's a number of reasons why the car could have been abandoned, but as for the construction company, legally they don't have permission to move the car from the owner (who has moved on and can't be contacted) so all they can do it just leave it there with enough space around it so it won't get damaged. 
    • You’ll want to have the block drilled and tapped to suit 1/2in head studs and the head for the same. How much power do you intend to make?
    • Sorry for resurrecting an oldish thread Not much has happened in the past year since the last update. The car did another 1000 miles or so and failed the MOT for the first time in October (failed on tyres which had been advised for a couple of years) In October the car got put up for sale and was removed in November due to no interest, being so close to christmas it was to be expected. The roads were dry in February so I decided to tax it early and get the new tyres fitted.   Fast forward to April, I got someone in to give the car a good clean after sitting for the winter.                                 The car got re-advertised and today (Saturday 3rd May) the car sold. The new owner is planning a GTR conversion at some point and a respray in the same pearl white. It's bitter sweet, it's a shame to have the car sit there for half the year and then only do 1000 miles. The kids are growing too quick and space in the back is getting limited. It's been a great 6.5 years of ownership
