umm to me the most important part of the car is its engine,especially when talking power

which is really all the HOLDEN boys have over our OLD(stock form) skylines. So if they didn't

use a CHEV Engine would you still be bragging about your holden VE SS commodores?

I dont understand the point of your argument though. The argument isn't what parts are made from who? People are arguing about the cars as a whole. There isn't any way of knowing what the commodore would be like without the 'CHEV' engine. Its like saying the GTR probably wouldn't be as good without the RB26. No Fcuking crap? But the fact is the VE SS does have a Chev engine (who cares who makes it?)and thats how its been made.

Anyway, no one is bragging, they are simply trying to stand up for a car that isn't half bad & that most people dont give any time on here because of a badge. Now its the fact that Chev makes then engine. I thought this kind of argument stopped when they stopped putting the 30 in VL's.

wouldn't have anywhere near the amount of power.

LoL Nissan Car, Nissan Engine. not rocket science.

It started right back up by them now HAVING(i like that word) to use a CHEV engine.

How else would they get those kw's?

To simply sum it up for yourself......

The best Holdens have either Nissan or Chev engines.

But who gives a Fcuk if they use a Chev engine? Obviously you do?

Wow Nissan use a Nissan engine. That must make them automatically a better car?

Obviously Holden have done their research and decided that the more feasible option is to use a Chev motor and it is churning out the numbers so whats the problem? Why build something yourself when you have something thats proven?

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.

I suggest you go and find out how many parts in your Nissan engine are made by Mitsubishi then...

dayum......turned out into an all out war

but one post caught my attention.....

r34gtt compared to the cv6 monaro and r34gtr compared to the cv8 monaro - there is no way you can compare it like that. Perhaps the cv8 compared with the gtt?

The only cars that can be compared would be something like Aussie built cars Vs American built cars OR if its nissan, then nissan v mazda or nissan v toyota

Too many factors i, in my humble opinion, reckon that will hinder the comparision between the japanese cars and aussie built cars (i.e engine for one)

You do realise that chev is owned by General Motors? Which also owns Holden?

Also did you know that a lot of the new Nissans run on the same platforms as the new renaults?

it got a little out of hand yes. was just stating the legalaties of cars with that much power on the road. if they were ever to be on the road we should be able to have modded skylines and other imports and not be harrassed for it.

sure we all love fast cars but asking for that much power from a v8 with a blower is only going to result in people killing themselves.

Why would they kill themselves? the car only goes as fast as your right foot

And if this car is modded legally there is nothing wrong with it.

If your car doesn't meet ADR's don't go complaining when you get defected.

Can anyone look on the positives on anything to do with this car?

I didnt wanna start a VS thread but I've never actually been able to voice my opinion in one before it was locked! I just seem to find that people nit pick on such irrelevant little things due to the fact that they just dont like them. Like the fact that GM owns Holden & Chev & now someone is picking on Holden for putting a Chev motor in is just ridiculous :P

Side Note: You ARE allowed to have modded Skylines & other imports on the road and not be harassed for it. Engineers certificate is a good start....

Which also means cars like the SL55 & XKR shouldn't be produced? They are perfectly legal, V8, Supercharged, and wouldnt be any slower than this ute...

yes you may be right but... top end cars that you stated handle superb have a price tag of over 150k. a holden or ford with that much power at a lower price tag for the average joe.... your asking for trouble.

enough said.

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

      By Duncan · Posted

      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.

      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.

      The BES920 is like the Toyota Camrys of coffee machines. E61 group head is cool, however the time requirements for home use makes it less desirable. The Toyota Camry coffee machine runs twin boilers and also PID temp control, some say it produces coffees as good as an E61 group head machine.
