that's a beast.... of an ENGINE!

the car its in can go get f**ked!

at the end of the day its just a commodore, and being a VL its the most stolen car 5 years in a row. must feel good when you have 10k under the hood and park it at the shops at broady...

seriously if i get a VB commodore and drop in an RB26DETT (that's a GTR engine for those wogs among us), it may run an 8 second quarter but its still a commodore. still handels shit. still looks shit.

you're right about ppl looking when a VL drives past. They look and say "oh another bloody wog who thinks he's driving a skyline...". and at the end of the day that's what you are wishing you are driving.

and thining your car is that good is actually a form of flattery coz you are approving that the company that makes our car and our line of engines has done a good job - so thanks wog!

(for the record i'm not racist, i'm just getting the point across. i am actually good mates with a lot of greeks and italians)

nice ride zdenko... last time i looked at this there was 1 reply...

if i had a chance i would go to japan and live there - they build far better and tougher cars than we have here is aust - it's called development dollars and engineering expertise. We just can't hope to compete down here. Period.

I really shouldn't enter into this debate as it only makes these sorta blokes more happy to see people like me pissed off. truly mate, VL's can be appreciated, but you as their drivers must acknowledge the engine underneath. the rb30 when released in 86 into the skylines was a huge step in motoring - brilliant engine. holden were bloody intelligent to buy them. unfortunately the blokes driving them forget this.

and i see these blokes putting down bloody fast track times in toranas and vls (with very worked rb30s whacked in) and saying "YEAH HOLDEN!" - more like they drive a car that people think is great even though they fail to see that its a Nissan donk underneath.

I've been to few track days in Sydney, and I dont see Holdens. Yeah the straight line is good, but bring your bloody Holdens out onto the track and have a go. Thats real driving.

****ing wankers

There is alot of crap on the first page... I didn't bother to read the rest... but the fact is that car would be sitting on the starting line if it weren't for the Nissan engine.

I really hate the MUZZA's that 'fink' the VL Turbo is the best holden ever, the chassis is sh!t, the handling is sh!t and the only reason you can get them to go resonably quick is because they have a nissan engine in them!

Zdenko and VLMuzza... I'll give you a race... a stock R33 GTS-t... you *might* win straight line, but what happen if you need to brake for traffic, or turn a corner???

You are real Muzza's, no-one really cares about drag-strips... someone will always beat you unless you invest a bunch of cash! the lights is where is all happens!

And talking about NEONs adding another 20rwkw... what about the f**kING Monster Tacho you put on your sh!t-box Auto???

enough said.

Actually... 1 more thing... WANKERS

Lets just keep it all civil people. A bit of respect for people and their choice of transportation.

Remember - this is a Skyline forum. There are more 'broader' performance based forums out there for 'mine-is-better-than-yours' fights.

It's a nice VL - sounds like it has lots of straight line RB-based power. I'm happy for you... but we're all out of medals.

    • My thinking is that if the O2 sensor is shot then your entire above described experience is pure placebo.
    • Here is the mess that I made. That filler there was successful in filling dents in that area. But in the middle area. I can feel dents. And I've gone ocer it multiple times with filler. And the filler is no longer there because i accidently sanded it away. I've chased my tail on this job but this is something else lol. So I'm gonna attempt filler one more time and if it doesn't work I'll just high fill primer the door and see where the issues are because guidecoat is of no use atm.
    • Ok, so I think I sort of figured out where I went wrong. So I definitely overthinked it, and I over sanded, which is probably a large part of the problem. to fix it, I ended up tapping some spots that were likely to be high, made them low, filled them in, and I tackled small sections at a time, and it feels a lot better.    I think what confused me as well is you have the bare metal, and some spots darker and some are lighter, and when I run my finger across it, it' would feel like it's a low spot, but I think it's just a transition in different texture from metal to body filler.    When your finger's sliding on the body filler, and crosses over to the bare metal, going back and forth, it feels like it's a low spot. So I kept putting filler there and sanding, but I think it was just a transition in texture, nothing to do with the low or high spot. But the panel's feels a lot better, and I'm just going to end up priming it, and then I'll block it after with guide coat.   Ended up wasting just about all of my filler on this damn door lol  
    • -10 is plenty for running to an oil cooler. When you look at oil feeds, like power steering feeds, they're much smaller, and then just a larger hose size to move volume in less pressure. No need for -12. Even on the race cars, like Duncans, and endurance cars, most of them are all running -10 and everything works perfectly fine, temps are under control, and there's no restrictions.
    • Update: O2 sensor in my downpipe turned out to be faulty when I plugged in to the Haltech software. Was getting a "open circuit" warning. Tons of carbon buildup on it, probably from when I was running rich for a while before getting it corrected. Replaced with new unit and test drove again. The shuffle still happens, albeit far less now. I am not able to replicate it as reliably and it no longer happens at the same RPM levels as before. The only time I was able to hear it was in 5th going uphill and another time in 5th where there was no noticeable incline but applying more throttle first sped it up and then cleared it. Then once in 4th when I slightly lifted the throttle going over a bump but cleared right after. My understanding is that with the O2 sensor out, the ECU relies entirely on the MAP tune and isn't able to make its small adjustments based on the sensors reading. All in all, a big improvement, though not the silver bullet. Will try validating the actuators are set up correctly, and potentially setting up shop time to tune the boost controller on closed loop rather than the open loop it is set to now. Think if it's set up on closed loop to take the O2 reading, that should deal with these last bits. Will try to update again as I go.
