Can't argue with that. Well you can actually, go on.

Ova.

I'll Try.

Its not really a factory modified car if you put an aftermarket turbo setup on is it?

Good luck trying to keep your warranty with 600hp.....

Whats that saying about rocks and people is glass houses?

GTSt... not only was your comment about Japanese ppl being thin highly offensive. Your alluding to Aussies being fat farks who cant see their member was equally offensive. Perhaps you and your mates should stay off the internet and instead hit the pubs of Japan, then hit the streets pissed with your cocks out for the camera. That sort of behaviour is so more becoming of someone ready to pass judgement on the conduct/character of others :)

... people, dont be that guy running around looking to be offended by peoples innocent comments. :)

dissapointed with you Roy...

forget it.

carry on..

so you think the 422kw kit from walkinshaw will carry the warrenty? Warrenty always comes down the dealer you go through? has it been adr approved and emissions tested and passed like the Gen TT kit?

Just questions as I did not buy the mag after the qtr time of 13.X?

I knew someone would take the bait.

Doesnt matter if its ADR/emission approved or not. You mod a factory car and warranty is gone. No dealer in his right mind would fix the car after it shat itself when youve bolted a TT kit too it. :blink:

ive watched the street commodores dvd on the new walkinshaw, its got 500bhp n is supercharged, but to the point the warrenty doesnt get void on it so id imagine itd be the same for the ute...... but warrenty doesnt cover everything u know i rekon if killed ur motor n went to the delership to claim on it, the damage would come under the "fair wear and tear policy...

I was leaning on the s/c kit query more so then tt. since walkinshaw is linked with dealerships.

Come to think of it this one is a fairly ordinary thread to start with, didn't we have people comparing a gtr to hsv's at one stage? Kazutoshi Mizuno said we must beat hsv at all cost :rofl:

What a stupid VS thread this turned out to be.

A 422kw ute is a good thing regardless of the badge.

IT'S A 422KW UTE!

You can carry a cement mixer and still do great donuts!

this is almost as gay as that gtr thread that you made, every one just agrues about bullshit

would drop a nice skid me thinks

You still have warranty, just certain repairs won't be covered under the conditions of it if there is a modification or such that causes damage that isn't factory supplied.

An extreeme example is if you fill your new holden with red cordial instead of petrol. You still have an effective 3 yr warranty however repairs to the parts that were damaged due to red cordial are not and will be at the owners cost.

Aw c'mon my thread was built to be stupid, it's way better than this one!

Purpose built stupidity stupidity Vs purpose built Awesome Skid UTE with POWA!

You like Nike-wingwangwoo-banannas.com ? You try? :P:D :D :D

Yeah I understand warranty, the extreme example was turning up to my dealer, saying um funny noises comin from engine bay and ridiculous speed possible...laughs all round :laughing-smiley-014:

Quality is ordinary but you get the idea.

blasphemy!!

No, blasphemy is putting a hideous veilside bodykit on your GTR or giant bling rims.....

I just dont find burnouts or drifting interesting. I admit it takes a lot of skill to drift so dont whine at me how much skill it takes. And I HATE flutter. Totally pointless 'look at me' mod. But this is just my opinion.

<puts flame suit on>

good son of rajab! what did i walk into. i dont mind holdens. i have a skyline myself. its just the majority of people who drive them (not all) think they own the road. they sit up ur arse and carry on. gives me the absolute shits i tell ya. all that aside both skylines and HSV are good cars. The GTR has tp be respected for its great technology as with all japanese cars. what i like is how they can get a 2.6 litre engine to punch out great horsepower. if we are really to compare holdens and nissans maybe we should start at looking at factory cars performance at the sports level. well im not sure what HSV has so i cant make an accurate pick of there best car. The GTo's nice tho. The GTR is the jap's weapon which most of us know about. back in the 90's nissan had already long developed there engines so they were DOHC etc and all the bullshit. i think HSV's were still OHvalve? not saying DOHC is always better but the japs are ahead of there time i think, personally. Its the same with european cars. Audi, V dub etc are all engineered and well thought out cars. Holden are catching up but i think they are still behind. if i was going to buy a sports car i would want it to be an all round package of acceleration and handling. not one or the other. but hey thats just me. if u want to burn rubber, buy a holden i guess. as many have 4 doors they are on a day to day scale perhaps more practical.

    • Put a fuel pressure gauge on it. Replace the turbos. Probably completely separate issues.
    • What copper washer do you guys use on the bleeder bolts? The existing one I have I had no idea where to find it in a local store, I did buy some online but that are only 1mm thick whereas my old one is 2mm+ thick and when I put the new washer out and squeeze the top radiator hose I can hear a bit of air but not with the old one. Does this matter? The new one doesn't leak, but the inner diameter is a bit loose whereas the old one threads on the bolt.
    • Howdy all, after being out a few weeks ago on a spirited drive in my GTR I have 2 issues that oddly have appeared at the same time. Whilst accelerating quickly through the gears all of a sudden i’ve lost power at the top of third gear (below redline around 6000rpm) for no obvious reason.    From that point onwards the car has been running rich on idle, won’t really rev under load without a ton of black smoke and the odd backfire, and dying as a pull up to a set of lights unless I keep the revs up around 1500rpm. In addition when shutting down the car that same night (I was 10 minutes from home) I noticed one of the turbos was significantly noisy on wind down when shutting off the engine. After letting the car cool down overnight it starts up fine, although once it gets to temp the revs start to creep up and down, the exhaust is darker than it should be and it also sounds like it’s running rich (fat note) I’ve put a new set of plugs in it - no change, the old plugs all seemed OK with two of them being somewhat richer/fueled up than the other 3 with 1 being borderline. I’ve smoked tested the intake system via the front of the Turbos, found a split vacuum hose going to the factory boost gauge sender, which I have since replaced.  Also found another leak on the gasket coming off the rear turbo outlet, have also replaced this. After fixing both of these leaks - still have the running rich issue. I’ve also tried another pair of AFM’s - no change here After pulling off the front turbo intake pipes, there is obvious shaft play in the front turbo, which now hisses loudly on light revvs although I can’t see why this would make the car run funny even under idle. I’m curious to know why it’s running rich before I potentially replace/rebuild turbos. The car is completely stock <50,000kms  other than an exhaust. Oil and coolant are all clear. I haven’t bothered with coil packs as it looks like they won’t be the issue due to condition of the plugs. Any help appreciated as I cry myself to sleep!
    • No probs at all. I used to love trying to dig up obscure info for those in need where possible going back 20+ years on SAU.  I did have another look and couldn't come up with any closer match. I'm leaning towards those skirts in your first pic are custom fitments, cut down/extended or from another car entirely and modded to fit an R34 sedan. I would've thought someone in Japan had them and taken a photo at some stage over the last 2 decades but there's nothing. Someone out there must know surely.
