They look pretty damn good IMO, even if they're not as functional as factory items they can show what the r35 can look like. The stock r35 is pretty bland in comparison.

All you jdm jocks are just too hardcore, at least the Americans are contributing in someway to aftermarket parts and development, what has Australia done...

New commodores are stock with 20s.

no they're not

Yes, VE Commodores can be optioned with 20" Wheels standard from the factory.

See for yourself: http://www.holden.com.au/www-holden/action...6&bitmask=1

man, some people don't read before they post...

so in conclusion, i was right

Well while you are so busy being "right" could you enlighten us all as to the performance reason for running 20" wheels?

There's a performance reason why they went for 20's

p.s. LOL at Holden 20x8.... The cheese factory called, they want their cutters back. :(

Don't worry, this topic sort of died already once people started talking about Commodores.

But believe it or not, my avatar picture is from a recently released CD of Japanese love ballads. There is the remote possibility that they already have shirts available!

unsprung wieght will still effect accell... ie more wieght more power to balance the same power to wieght ratio... wieght around a corner... self explanatory... wieght when slowing..... ... ok ... you put hte foot down and your bigger powa gets you up to speed.... oh shit you have to ease of and slow down to take a corner... as opposed to ending up in the wall and dieing painfully.... hmmm lift off oversteer.... nope nope.... more like understeering puss going for anchors and finding no ground.... coming into corner to fast... understeer of track into dust... wait for truck... woojoooo.

face facts....

This is boner worthy....

they are of desktop size >;P

since the GTR was built as it's own platform... why cant it look this good, be a small chunk heavier and make the same power it does now.... hell keep the AWD system and come in less than 1400 kg max... preff 1200 max but unlikely. MORE POWER is whats needed for these beasts!

    • So could it be assumed it has been installed intentionally with potentially a power FC boost controller kit? 
    • Had my rig on Matt's dyno at PITS the other day. After a few years between tunes I added a few sensors and swapped intercoolers. Result. 553hp at 26psi. Not bad for an FJ20 that was built in 2007. The problem.. It filled the overflow bottle on hard runs which leads me to believe the head gasket isn't sealing. I have a coolant pressure sensor which was reading cap pressure at 22psi and occasionally overrunning to 23/24 psi on deceleration after a pull. It was not spiking. It has arp2000 head studs and a cometic gasket. As its been 18 years in service, I pulled the engine out and head off. Everything looks good but we obviously have an issue. Where I'm at.. Years ago I had the same issue, I checked the stud tension and they were all over the place. Some at 60 to 70 and some up near 90. I nipped them all to 100ft lbs and this stopped the water push until now. I believe this compromised the gasket back then. What do I do? 2 options are..  1) I bought arp 625+s, which I could put in with a new gasket. Thinking Kameari this time, reassemble and try again. 2) strip the block, get fire rings machined in with copper gasket and try that. I do not want to push it more than 28 to 30psi. I think the turbo will be out by then anyway. (G30-770). My other concern is the long term ability of a copper head gasket. Are they streetable for years? I feel like a new gasket with the new studs will probably suffice, but I don't know. Any thoughts welcome and advice on copper gaskets and fire rings. Thanks!
    • I'm a fan of the JZX110, and the Aristo. Big cruiser cars, and with the factory cars, super comfortable and feel like you're driving an armchair! And the JZ motors are a pretty nice engine too, especially with some basic mods.   The import process, and the need to be able to trust people, and the fact there's so many scammers around is what ever puts me off wanting to go through that ordeal!
    • I don't care for these at all, but at least the underside looks straight and not rusty. A good basis for a long life. Many cars from Japan have been lifted with forklifts and f**ked almost irrepairably.
    • Yes, but it's not dumb or dodgy. You can build a perfectly good boost controller from a pressure reg, a relief valve (looks same same as a reg if all from Norgren or SMC, for example) and a check valve. I ran one for years. Only superceded with  EBC because I could get one for cheaps and wanted finer control.   THis mod is certainly not a sketchy boost mod, provided the boost is kept below the "spin to death" threshold of the turbos.
