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.

    • As discussed in the previous post, the bushes in the 110 needed replacing. I took this opportunity to replace the castor bushes, the front lower control arm, lower the car and get the alignment dialled in with new tyres. I took it down to Alignment Motorsports on the GC to get this work done and also get more out of the Shockworks as I felt like I wasn't getting the full use out of them.  To cut a very long story short, it ended up being the case the passenger side castor arm wouldn't accept the brand new bush as the sleeve had worn badly enough to the point you could push the new bush in by hand and completely through. Trying a pair of TRD bushes didn't fix the issue either (I had originally gone with Hardrace bushes). We needed to urgently source another castor arm, and thankfully this was sourced and the guys at the shop worked on my car until 7pm on a Saturday to get everything done. The car rides a lot nicer now with the suspension dialled in properly. Lowered the car a little as well to suit the lower profile front tyres, and just bring the car down generally. Eternally thankful for the guys down at the shop to get the car sorted, we both pulled big favours from our contacts to get it done on the Saturday.  Also plugged in the new Stedi foglights into the S15, and even from a quick test in the garage I'm keen to see how they look out on the road. I had some concerns about the length of the LED body and whether it'd fit in the foglight housing but it's fine.  I've got a small window coming up next month where I'll likely get a little paint work done on the 110 to remove the rear wing, add a boot wing and roof wing, get the side skirt fixed up and colour match the little panel on the tail lights so that I can install some badges that I've kept in storage. I'm also tempted to put in a new pair of headlights on the 110.  Until then, here's some more pictures from Easter this year. 
    • I would put a fuel pressure gauge between the filter and the fuel rail, see if it's maintaining good fuel pressure at idle going up to the point when it stalls. Do you see any strange behavior in commanded fuel leading up to the point when it stalls? You might have to start going through the service manual and doing a long list of sensor tests if it's not the fuel system for whatever reason.
    • Hi,  Just joined the forum so I could share my "fix" of this problem. Might be of use to someone. Had the same hunting at idle issue on my V36 with VQ35HR engine after swapping the engine because the original one got overheated.  While changing the engine I made the mistake of cleaning the throttle bodies and tried all the tricks i could find to do a throttle relearn with no luck. Gave in and took it to a shop and they couldn't sort it. Then took it to my local Nissan dealership and they couldn't get it to idle properly. They said I'd need to replace the throttle bodies and the ecu probably costing more than the car is worth. So I had the idea of replacing the carbon I cleaned out with a thin layer of super glue and it's back to normal idle now. Bit rough but saved the car from the wreckers 🤣
    • After my last update, I went ahead with cleaning and restoring the entire fuel system. This included removing the tank and cleaning it with the Beyond Balistics solution, power washing it multiple times, drying it thoroughly, rinsing with IPA, drying again with heat gun and compressed air. Also, cleaning out the lines, fuel rail, and replacing the fuel pump with an OEM-style one. During the cleaning process, I replaced several hoses - including the breather hose on the fuel tank, which turned out to be the cause of the earlier fuel leak. This is what the old fuel filter looked like: Fuel tank before cleaning: Dirty Fuel Tank.mp4   Fuel tank after cleaning (some staining remains): Clean Fuel Tank.mp4 Both the OEM 270cc and new DeatschWerks 550cc injectors were cleaned professionally by a shop. Before reassembling everything, I tested the fuel flow by running the pump output into a container at the fuel filter location - flow looked good. I then fitted the new fuel filter and reassembled the rest of the system. Fuel Flow Test.mp4 Test 1 - 550cc injectors Ran the new fuel pump with its supplied diagonal strainer (different from OEM’s flat strainer) and my 550cc injectors using the same resized-injector map I had successfully used before. At first, it idled roughly and stalled when I applied throttle. Checked the spark plugs and found that they were fouled with carbon (likely from the earlier overly rich running when the injectors were clogged). After cleaning the plugs, the car started fine. However, it would only idle for 30–60 seconds before stalling, and while driving it would feel like a “fuel cut” after a few seconds - though it wouldn’t fully stall. Test 2 – Strainer swap Suspecting the diagonal strainer might not be reaching the tank bottom, I swapped it for the original flat strainer and filled the tank with ~45L of fuel. The issue persisted exactly the same. Test 3 – OEM injectors To eliminate tuning variables, I reinstalled the OEM 270cc injectors and reverted to the original map. Cleaned the spark plugs again just in-case. The stalling and “fuel cut” still remained.   At this stage, I suspect an intermittent power or connection fault at the fuel pump hanger, caused during the cleaning process. This has led me to look into getting Frenchy’s fuel hanger and replacing the unit entirely. TL;DR: Cleaned and restored the fuel system (tank, lines, rail, pump). Tested 550cc injectors with the same resized-injector map as before, but the car stalls at idle and experiences what feels like “fuel cut” after a few seconds of driving. Swapped back to OEM injectors with original map to rule out tuning, but the issue persists. Now suspecting an intermittent power or connection fault at the fuel pump hanger, possibly cause by the cleaning process.
