Limited Edition Sports Coupe produced by Holden/GMC.

Car is perfect in every way with regular servicing (full log books and major service just completed) and perfect maintenance.

Car is mechanically perfect with no flaws and is strong and reliable. For a V8 car is entirely fuel economical managing a consistant 14.2l per 100kms (70L & Approx. $80 to fill with BP Ultimate) tank which is more fuel efficient than my wifes 2007 Suzuki Swift.

Mechanical upgrades include a factory enhanced braking upgrade consisting of the "Harrop Big Brake Upgrade" which entales New Harrop 8 pot calipers up front & New Harrop 4 pot calipers at the rear, New Harrop 330mm Cross Drilled Rotors at front & New Harrop 300mm Cross Drilled Rotors at the rear, Harrop Performance Brake Pads & New larger more durable/stronger brake lines. This means the cars braking power is quite ferocious if necessary and can stop on a dime if required making the car safety level even higher.

Another mechanical upgrade is a Pacemaker Header & Exhaust system which increases the flow of the exhaust gases & increases performance due to less restriction.

Final mechanical upgrade is sports suspension which is almost standard yet has Holden upgraded shocks to improve handling at speed.

The exterior is factory standard with Quicksilver paint which is protected and waxed using Mcguires products every 3 months to ensure no fading and lengthen the life of the Standard paintwork. Standard 18" Monaro Alloy Rims which provide mroe than adequate area for traction with new tyres installed very recently.

Car is washed at least once a week as i am meticulous and quite retentive/obsessive with cleanliness.

The Interior is also standard black leather on all four electric bucket seats and door inserts. Suede is sewed into the kick panels and the bottom half of the dash to accentuate the clean lines and comfortable interior.

Interior is cleaned, wiped down and vacuumed at least once a week as i am meticulous and quite retentive/obsessive with cleanliness.

Interior is conditioned in Meguires leather cleaner/protecter/conditioner to keep interior looking fresh and new every 3 months

Car has been kept in prestine condition & Interior and Exterior has been left Factory/Standard with few mechanical upgrades (most from factory options) as the car is a limited edition and is no longer in production.

As the car is limited edition, depreciation will not affect this car much at all (Monaros havnt dropped more than $1200 in the past 2 years - A Fact that can be retrieved from the RTA or Redbook for a small Fee)

All mechanical inspections welcomed and will performed if buyer is genuine.

Reason for sale is looking to downgrade as i am moving to Canberra Federal Police Academy for work overseas & will require a smaller car for travel to & from Wollongong & wouldnt like to put excessive kms on such a car.

If you have any queries or further questions i am available days (work most nights but will endevour to answer calls/SMS/e-mails) and willing to have car inspected first hand with possible test drives to genuine buyers.

NOT ENCUMBERED OR ON REVS. No money is owing against this vechicle at all.

Will trade with:

- Honda S2000

- Nissan 350Z

- S15 (90BRO Is Perfect)

Possibly Consider Trade with: (prefer show than go)

- RX7 FD

- R34 (MR R34 - I Wish)

- R33 (WEAPN or 2 WIN - I Wish)

- S14a (Fibermotive - I Wish)

I have had a few people ask me about the fuel consumption and if i have made a mistake.

To confirm i have takena photo of my on board fuel consumption and my wifes suzuki swift which is basically new. They are the same. A V8 and a 4 cylinder the same is madness but Monaros are quality cars.

Nice Monaro!

Probably not practical due to distance but let me know if you're interested in dealing with my R34 (see link) and we'll worry about that then.

If not then good luck with the sale.

Mark.

Yeah it is, i thought i fixed it on this site, my apologies, could have been bost.

CV8 is litres per 100kms and Swift is kms per litre

So for your Monaro travelling 100KM, your swift actually does 198KM...

So your swift is doing 7.05L/100km... :P

I would have considered a swap on it, but I can't live with 14L/100km daily...

Nice car though... I have seen it before... Friends with Owen... :D

Thanks for the offer but i am looking for something a little bit different, appreciate your time though.

MBS206

Car can chew the fuel if you have a heavy right foot on the loud pedal, i am kind to my cars and i miss my old skyline that owen has, such a hot car.

A full tank gets me 3 weeks of travel so it is the most fuel economical car i have ever owned so i have no complaints with it. So damn comfortable too with the lounges in there.

    • Hi, is the HKS  Tower Bar still available ? negotiable ? 🤔
    • From there, it is really just test and assemble. Plug the adapter cables from the unit into the back of the screen, then the other side to the car harness. Don't forget all the other plugs too! Run the cables behind the unit and screw it back into place (4 screws) and you should now have 3 cables to run from the top screen to the android unit. I ran them along the DS of the other AV units in the gap between their backets and the console, and used some corrugated tubing on the sharp edges of the bracket so the wires were safe. Plug the centre console and lower screen in temporarily and turn the car to ACC, the AV should fire up as normal. Hold the back button for 3 sec and Android should appear on the top screen. You need to set the input to Aux for audio (more on that later). I put the unit under the AC duct in the centre console, with the wifi antenna on top of the AC duct near the shifter, the bluetooth antenna on the AC duct under the centre console The GPS unit on top of the DS to AC duct; they all seem to work OK there are are out of the way. Neat cable routing is a pain. For the drive recorder I mounted it near the rear view mirror and run the cable in the headlining, across the a pillar and then down the inside of the a pillar seal to the DS lower dash. From there it goes across and to one USB input for the unit. The second USB input is attached to the ECUtec OBD dongle and the 3rd goes to the USB bulkhead connected I added in the centre console. This is how the centre console looks "tidied" up Note I didn't install the provided speaker, didn't use the 2.5mm IPod in line or the piggyback loom for the Ipod or change any DIP switches; they seem to only be required if you need to use the Ipod input rather than the AUX input. That's it, install done, I'll follow up with a separate post on how the unit works, but in summary it retains all factory functions and inputs (so I still use my phone to the car for calls), reverse still works like factory etc.
    • Place the new daughterboard in the case and mount it using the 3 small black rivets provided, and reconnect the 3 factory ribbon cables to the new board Then, use the 3 piggyback cables from the daughterboard into the factory board on top (there are stand offs in the case to keep them apart. and remember to reconnect the antenna and rear cover fan wires. 1 screw to hold the motherboard in place. Before closing the case, make a hole in the sticker covering a hole in the case and run the cable for the android unit into the plug there. The video forgot this step, so did I, so will you probably. Then redo the 4 screws on back, 2 each top and bottom, 3 each side and put the 2 brackets back on.....all ready to go and not that tricky really.      
    • Onto the android unit. You need to remove the top screen because there is a daughterboard to put inside the case. Each side vent pops out from clips; start at the bottom and carefully remove upwards (use a trim remover tool to avoid breaking anything). Then the lower screen and controls come out, 4 screws, a couple of clips (including 3 flimsy ones at the top) and 3 plugs on the rear. Then the upper screen, 4 screws and a bunch of plugs and she is out. From there, remove the mounting brackets (2 screws each), 4 screws on the rear, 2 screws top and bottom and 3 screws holding in the small plates on each side. When you remove the back cover (tight fit), watch out for the power cable for the fan, I removed it so I could put the back aside. The mainboard is held in by 1 screw in the middle, 1 aerial at the top and 3 ribbon cables. If you've ever done any laptop stuff the ribbon cables are OK to work with, just pop up the retainer and they slide out. If you are not familiar just grab a 12 year old from an iphone factory, they will know how it works The case should now look like this:
    • Switching the console was tricky. First there were 6 screws to remove, and also the little adapter loom and its screws had to come out. Also don't forget to remove the 2 screws holding the central locking receiver. Then there are 4 clips on either side....these were very tight in this case and needed careful persuading with a long flat screw driver....some force required but not enough to break them...this was probably the fiddliest part of the whole job. In my case I needed both the wiring loom and the central locking receiver module to swap across to the new one. That was it for the console, so "assembly is the reverse of disassembly"
