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!

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.

    • You just need to remove the compressor housing, not the entire turbo. I would not be drilling and tapping anything with the housing still on anyways. 
    • So, I put my boat on a boat. First of all, I'm going to come out and say it. Why is Tasmania not considered a holy goal, an apex that all road-legal modified cars go to, to experience? This place is an absolute wonderland of titanic proportions. If people are already getting club runs for once in a lifetime 30 person cruises to Tassy then I've never seemed to see it. It is like someone replaced the entire place with an idyllic wonderland for cars, and all of the people living there with paid actors who are kind, humble, and friendly. Dear god. After doing a lap of almost all of the place I've found that it's a great way to find out all of the little things that the car isn't doing quite right and a great way to figure it all out. All in all, I drove for 4 hours a day for a week and nothing broke. I didn't even need to open the engine bay. This is by all means a great success, but it has left me with a list of things to potentially address. I also now have a 3D printed wheel fitment tool which annoyingly hasn't got any threads in it to actually assemble it. I might be able to tape it together to check the sizing I actually want to use, but it'll likely involving pulling the shocks out to properly measure travel at least at the front, and probably raise the car while I'm at it, at least in the rear. I scraped on quite a few things and I'm not sure how else to go about it. I was taking anything with a bump at what felt like 89 degree angles. And address those 10 other tasks. And wash the car. God damn it is dirty. And somehow, the weather was perfect the entire time - And because I was on the top of Mt Wellington it turns out it was very much about to freeze up there. I did something I typically never do and took some photos up there in what must have been -10 and the foggy felt like suspended ice, rather than mere fog. If you own a car in Australia, you owe it to yourself to do it.
    • Damn that was hilarious, and a bit embarrassing for skylines in general 😂 vintage car life ey. That R33 really stomped. Pretty entertaining stuff
    • Hi, I have a r32 gtr transmission. Does any of you guys have an idea how much power it will hold with the billet center plate and stock gearset? At what power level and use did yours brake with or without billet plate? Thanks, Oystein Lovik
    • Saw this replica police car based on a Mitsubishi Starion XX parked next to a 'police box' (it's literally a box) in Hirohata, Himeji City in Hyogo prefecture the other day. It's owned by Morii-san who is a local Mitsubishi Starion enthusiast. According to a local radio station blog post, he always wanted to make a police car himself based on ones he saw in his favourite Manga comics.  As it's illegal to modify a car to look like a police car and drive on the road, Morii-san tried many times to get permission from Aboshi police station headquarters nearby. They refused initially by after they got tired of that they granted him permission. However, the car can only be displayed on private property and obviously can't be registered as long as the police livery is present. The car was completed at a cost of 1.5 million yen (US$ 10,000) in addition to the car cost. A location was chosen outside Hirohata Police box where the car can easily been seen from the street. Morii-san has two other Starion road cars, both widebody GSR-VRs.
