Its probably a lot more modified then yours and i probably know a lot more about them then you so don't give me smart ass comments like that!

Yeah your e-wang is damn huge aint it! Your so rich your car is so much more modified than mine even though you've never seen mine and that your so much smarter than me even though you have never met me! and I didnt start the smart ass comment - I didnt over-exaggerate saying a turbo kicks in at 5500revs!

It's just im not the type of person that says ohh a Ferrrari Modena is a crap car because my skyline does a 1/4 mile time quicker then it by 0.3 seconds and has 20 more HP then it or some crap.

Nah you didnt say a Ferrari Modena is crap did ya... but you did say a Skyline is crap because a Holden V8 doesnt need to rev out to 5500rpm for the turbo to kick in therefore trying to say Skyline is crap V8 pwns all yadida

And what are u comparing anyway a 4 door SS commodore to a 2 door AWD GTR? Yeah fair enough the GTR will out handle it hands down. Lets flip the coin however, how about comparing a 4 door skyline to a 2 door Monaro, i can gaurantee the monaro will outhandle it. So if your going to give out such great advise how about you specify what your talking about instead of being a smart ass b*tch.

What are YOU comparing? Compare it year for year a Monaro would be approximate year to an R34... R34 GTT vs Monaro CV6... R34 GTR vs Monaro CV8.

So if your going to give out such great advise how about you specify what your talking about instead of being a smart ass b*tch.

Thats quite a guarentee you have there mate. Any idea on what you would be backing it up with? Driven similar modded versions of both? For somebody jumping at others you dont seam to be very well grounded

Nice, e-wang, you must be very smart to think of that one. So your saying a 500rwkw skyline is going to be responsive..... if a standard displacement Rb25 with 500rwkw came onto boost (talking about like decent boost, not 1-2psi) much before 5000rpm id be very suprised, so i dont think i was exegarating that much.

Nah you didnt say a Ferrari Modena is crap did ya... but you did say a Skyline is crap because a Holden V8 doesnt need to rev out to 5500rpm for the turbo to kick in therefore trying to say Skyline is crap V8 pwns all yadida

Ummm i actually never said anything like that but yeah ok then..

What are YOU comparing? Compare it year for year a Monaro would be approximate year to an R34... R34 GTT vs Monaro CV6... R34 GTR vs Monaro CV8.

Monaro brand new $60,000ish, R34 GTR over $100,000 good comparison, lets start comparing a 1995 Totoya Corolla to a 1995 BMW, they were made in the same year so they must be in the same category ay!

The CV8 isnt even good enough to compare to the r34 gtr.

I got that wheels magazine with the R34 GTR V-Spec N1 vs HSV GTS Coupe.

HSV has more power, HSV has more torque.

The hsv is slower 0 -100 and slower across the quarter mile.

All they do is make the car heavier, put in a massive engine and thats it.

The "300kw" coupe does the quarter mile in 13.9 seconds... wtf

Whilst the skyline did it in 12.7

But when you start modding its all a different story

wow!

not bad for a commonwhore!

that would be an insane ride with holden shitty chassis :)

I garuntee you that the commodore chassis is stronger and has more torsional stiffness than any skyline.

Must be a pretty crappy modified skyline to need to be rev'd to 5500rpm to come onto boost!

I too can exaggerate! I can guarantee that the 500kw skyline will outhandle the LS1... oh wait its not much of an exaggeration. :)

Oh btw Holden LS1 forum is that way. Bye! ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------->

none of u lot are car enthusisits are u, ure all just banner wavers u jump up n down raving wats better holden nissan ra ra ra ra,, how hard is it to appreciate both cars for the awsome beats the are, n both cars have there good n bad sides..... n ppl who modify there holdens love there cars just as much as u skyline owners do, so why is it so hard to apprectate that fact... u should all be greatful we live in a day n age where were lucky enough to choose wat we want........ so every grow up

people who think a cars shit and wont be budged just because of the badge it has on the grille usually arent the type who know much about cars.

im not a holden fan.. but still think they have awesome cars with awesome potential. have to appreciate the badassness of a LS1.

oh and holden gives the australian market what they want.. how many people who buy HSVs or the like actually drive their cars hard enough to notice differences in suspension geometry? go to track days? ect

Just a small point. Have any of the people bagging the VE Commodore ever actually driven one? I've driven a dozen different models from the lowliest Omega through to the Clubsport and Maloo and the chassis and handling are both bloody great for an Aussie built car.

Aussie built cars for Aussie built roads , makes sense to me..

I read that Wheels article on the boss 370 (somewhere around there) kw Flacon and then looked at the times, sometihng like 0-100 6.1 , 1/4 mile 14.xx (im sure someone will correct me there) is it just me or are Ford struggling to make fast cars.

I've taken a few around myself.

I thought the brakes and suspension on the sporty versions of the VE's are quite good for the size vehicle. They aren't bad at all for a family car.

Anyway on topic I think 422kw is a good thing in a ute. I say lets take the sideway in the driveway. In the words of Tim Allen " What this thing needs is more power!" :/

id never buy a holden,i've seen how the workers drive them.

Enough said.

I am with you.

I would rather buy an import thats had the living shit flogged out of it in Japan and when they decide to sell it, have that car imported to Australia where once again its flogged on the docks and had parts stolen from it. I would also like it if it didnt have any service history at all and has been involved in an accident. Who needs a warranty these days too!

I cant believe the arrogancy of some f**k wits on here, which is why I have never attended a cruise and probably won't.

This bloke is spot on... People cant be open enough to accept that some cars are built for different reasons. Holden have built a car that most of the Australian market WHO APPEAL to these kind of cars like, hence being one of the highest sellers. I use to own a VX SS M6 and the handling of this car was awesome. With a set of aftermarket springs & shocks it handled good enough for anyone. Who gives a shit if a Skyline handles a little better on the track? Can you really use it on the road?? It goes around corners a bit quicker so that AUTOMATICALLY means its a better car?

I dont think many people have read the article for this particular ute. It ran its quarter at 111mph. It also has over 700nm of torque. Trying to keep this power to the ground in a ute whilst running a good time would be next to impossible.

what IM saying is if your a holden fan, Brag on about HOLDEN ENGINES

Dont sit there telling me how your HOLDEN is so F'ing awesome with its CHEV ENGINE.

Seriously,,,it aint rocket science.

LOL thats being a bit picky.

Its like saying you cant say your Aston Martin is awesome because it has many items fitted that are genuine Volvo parts?

      7 Speed Auto transmission fluid change (Skyline, Q50, Q60, Fuga, Q70, A62 Titan and probably heaps of others including Navara...)

      By Duncan · Posted

      I thought I'd do a write up on an auto transmission fluid change for a the nissan 7 speed Automatic. At some stage the genius engineers decided that the fluid in the trans was "for the life of the transmission", (which seems kind of self supporting to me) and removed the dip stick and fill tube (funnily enough there is still a casting for it). Anyway, for this job you do need 2 specialist tools in addition to regular hand tools, jack and good chassis stands. You need a way to pump fluid up to the transmission; I got one of these but there are plenty of other options: https://www.ebay.com.au/itm/364584087070 Don't trust the generic listing though, it does not come with the required adapter for the Nissan 7 Speed. You need one of these, can't do the job without it: https://navarapart.com.au/product/genuine-nissan-patrol-y62-d23-np300-navara-re7-dipstick-fill-connector1 You need a heap of compatible transmission oil. Could be Nissan, could be anything else rated for Nissan Matic S. You need at least 10 litres, I had 15 to give it a better flush... Also, you need some biiig oil catch trays, at least one of these, or bigger if possible (volume was fine, size was very marginal): https://autobarn.com.au/ab/Autobarn-Category/Tools-%26-Garage/Specialty-Tools/Oil-Service/Garage-Tough-Oil-Drain-Pan-Black-16L---GT1068/p/TO03191 Finally, a measuring jug is very useful if your pump does not have volumes marked on it, I got a 6l one: https://www.repco.com.au/oils-fluids/fluid-accessories/measuring-jugs/penrite-measuring-jug-6l-pmj006/p/A5322648 Oh, and gloves.....this stuff is horrible (not as bad as diff oil, but getting there) ....First, jack up your car.....

      Duncan's V37.......race car?

      By Duncan · Posted

      So I mentioned the apprentice, @LachyK helped take the bonnet off. We just undid the nuts on the hinges and unclipped the gas struts, then pulled the bonnet back a little as the front was catching on the front bar.  I had a good look at everything today and have removed the rams, repaired/reset the hinges and bolted it back together like it never happened. I'll do a separate write up on the repair, and I also removed the poppers from the Fuga today too to save grief down the road.....as said above it is at least $5k to repair retail. I'm also happier about my ability to prepare a race car, and less happy about Nis-nault's engineering (I can hear @GTSBoy sAfrican Americaning) because the top hose of the radiator didn't slip off.......it snapped clean off. By practice I put the hose clamp hard up against the flare on a neck to make it least likely to ever move (thanks @Neil!). I guess that puts a little more pressure on the end of the pipe as it is further away from the rad, but still, that is pretty shit. I've put it back on for now as there was a fair bit of neck still there, but obviously there is no lip on the neck any more so I don't think I'll track it again until I have a new rad. Speaking of which....more research required. It looks like Koyo makes a standard size radiator in ally which I'll grab in the meantime, but I really want something thicker so might have to go custom in the medium term (ouch) Coolant still needs a refill and I have the pressure tester on it over night, but other than a wash down of the engine bay it seems alright. And @MBS206 noted something noisy on the front of the engine and I think I agree....time for a new accessory belt and tensioners I think.

      our good friends at nismo make a diff for it, I have one (and a spare housing to put the centre in) on the way. https://www.nismo.co.jp/products/web_catalogue/lsd/mechanical_lsd_v37.html AMS also make a helical one, but I prefer mechanical for track use in 2wd (I do run a quaife in the front, but not rear of the R32)

      R33 persistent issues. P/steering and lag/misfire

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      What are we supposed to be seeing in the photo of the steering angle sensor? The outer housing doesn't turn, right? All the action is on the inside. The real test here is whether or not your car has had the steering put back together by a butcher. When the steering is centred (and we're not caring about the wheel too much here, we're talking about the front wheels, parallel, facing front) then you should have an absolutely even number of turns from centre to left lock and centre to right lock. If there is any difference at all then perhaps the thing has been put back together wrongly, either the steering wheel put on one spline (or more!) off, and the alignment bodged to straighteb the wheel, or the opposite where something silly was done underneath and the wheel put back on crooked to compensate. Nut there isn't actually much evidence that you have such a problem anyway. It is something you can easily measure and test for to find out though. My money is still on the HICAS CU not driving the PS solenoid with the proper PWM signal required to lighten the load at lower speed. If it were me, I would be putting either a multimeter or oscilloscope onto the solenoid terminals and taking it for a drive, looking for the voltage to change. The PWM signal is 0v, 12V, 0V, 12v with ...obviously...modulated pulse width. You should see that as an average voltage somewhere between 0V and 12V, and it should vary with speed. An handheld oscilloscope would be the better tool for this, because they are definitely good enough but there's no telling if any cheap shit multimeter that people have lying around are good enough. You can also directly interfere with the solenoid. If you wire up a little voltage divider with variable resistor on it, and hook the PS solenoid direct to 12V through that, you can manually adjust the voltage to the solenoid and you should be able to make it go ligheter and heavier. If you cannot, then the problem is either the solenoid itself dead, or your description of the steering being "tight" (which I have just been assuming you mean "heavy") could be that you have a mechanical problem in the steering and there is heaps of resistance to movement.

      R33 persistent issues. P/steering and lag/misfire

      By MissMintyR33 · Posted

      Little update  I have shimmed the solenoid on the rack today following Keep it Reets video on YouTube. However my steering is still tight. I have this showing on Nisscan, my steering angle sensor was the closest to 0 degrees (I could get it to 0 degrees by small little tweaks, but the angle was way off centre? I can't figure this out for the life of me. I get no faults through Nisscan.
