have any of u driven a the new 6 lt comodore?

a mate has the brand new maloo ute.

he kept raving about it so i jumped at the chance when he offered me a drive.

6 speed manual 300 and whatever kws at the engine, exhaust etc , and i was most disapointed.

it would pull a 30 foot yaught up a big ass hill at 2000rpm but it just didnt want to rev.

felt more like a turbo diesel to me.

at the end of the day australian v8's arent built to go quick they are a zippy family car and that about it cos they are far to heavy.

my rbo 20 pulled 150rwkw which is f*k all really and i havent had any get away from me.

dont no about the new ones havent really been near any but hold some hope for v8s of the future as they were able to pry themselves away from the primitive idea of push rods and single cam. for the record i hate v8's but if they were smart enough to turbo or supercharge there v8s then different story N/A isnt the greatest concept for going quick.

i dont no many v8's that are going to beat a 32 lightest of all skylines that have 220 rwkw.

i pay the man with the comment atleast your not driving a holden:):unsure::)

Did he miss multiple gears, have 185 tyres on and spun the whole track, not know how to drive, blew a clutch, have it in reverse or what? A LS1 pushing that much power would smoke a 188rwkw skyline any day of the week even with a crap launch, so obviously there is more to the story. A VX clubby does a quarter in about 14 seconds give or take with variables. A stock RB25 does it in about 14-14.5, lets say one with 188rwkw does a 13.5 for arguments sake, once again give or take. You beat a 270rwkw clubby by 1.2seconds...... So his 270rwkw clubby is slower than a stock clubby?

Once again i ask, what's the rest of the story?

That proves to me you cant drive. A mate with one in his VL is running 180rwkw and ran a 12.3 on slicks. runs 12.7 on street tyres dude. He has a clean run and he was the one that cam up to me after and asked what the f**k i was running as he was waiting to slap me. I got a clean run and ran a 13.1 @ 106mph.

umm I dont know what sort of LS1's some of you have been driving, cause they must have been near dead or something.

I hopped in my mates VX SS with twin 2.5 exhaust and LS1Edit and it dosen't really powerband until around 4000rpm, which is reached surprisingly quickly!

The old 5 litre dosen't like to rev much though (at least in a stock or near stock form)

i was racing (yeh i know irresponsible) but thats what this thread is about. being irresponsible on the street against holdens

i was playing one day with the latest holden monaro GTO (the 6 litre) had the 307kw sticker on the back. ill admit the thing did look nice and honestly this thing was so loud i could not hear my car at all !!!! and my car is pretty loud. obviously he had done his exhaust extractors god knows what else. and when we both gave it a genuine hit rolling at about 30k/hr there was nothing in it. we were dead neck to neck. and i knew from that screaming V8 he was giving it his all. and so was i. and this was before my Toshi remap. they are no way as quick as what people think.

whoops forgot to add my car is R33 but hey another hit for the skylines

Where did i ever mention my driving? I stated FACTS about the rough times these cars run down the drags in stock form or with slight work done to them. So your comment about my driving is completely irrelevant. I said a RB25 with 188rwkw roughly runs a 13.5 and it does. Is your RB25 in a R33 or is in in a S13, however your sig says its an RB20 so which one is it?

Ok so you ran a 13.1, congrats, you said you beat the VX clubby by 1.2 seconds, therefore it ran a 14.3 correct? Once again i ask, whats the rest of the story since a standard VX clubby will run that, not a 270rwkw one......

You are honestly wondering why i think your story is bullshit?

My car is now a r32 with a 25det in it. Pretty stock with only 189.7rwkw. I honestly say i keep up if not beat any V8 i have raced up here. I like all cars but i have not been beaten by one yet.

The vl ran a MPH 108 and 60ft of 2.1 i believe. That was with slicks and a et of 12.3

The pink VL is the one i am talking about.

That white ss ute he is racing i believe would be a ls1 yeah. Correct me if i am wrong as i dont know much bout them. The ute is a fellow names Brad Stott. He has cams a remap and full exhaust. Look how much he gets slapped by and i pretty sure there both running slicks. The VL is pushing 180rwkw.

the vl is also a auto.

so would be reading higher power if it was a manual.

but i agree ls1 ls2 's are shit.

jap technology has been around for near on 20 yrs, yet aus keeps producing this heavy underpowered garbage.

why have imports become so popular? because the amount of car you get for your money simply cant be matched in aus.

i for one would never buy another aussie car. (4x4 excluded as japanese dont really use them.)

look at were ford is heading with the xr6

its about time they got rid of the "found on rubbish dump" attitude that most people over 30 have of them.

the old ea falcon etc were an absolute discrace to ford, and should never have been produced with a made in australia claim.

surely we can make something better then that.

holden flirted with the jap tech with the vl and for the life of me i cant see what positives they gained by canning it.

they had a light family car that went well. why stop making them.

especially when you watch that vid above showing a 88 model car easily beating 20 yrs of holdens technology.

what a joke.

holden used that motor out of desperation....

they simply could not update the old 202 any further and it was WAAAAY underpowered and thirsty.

they then developed their own "australian" motor *cougbuickcough*

and borrowing an american motor is ok cause its a v8 and that aparently makes everything ok....

You have to remember how heavy all of these new commodores/falcons are. You chuck a LS1/LS2 into a lighter car like a S13 and it definetely won't feal boring. Youtube "RX7 LS1" and watch how quick those things are even in basic stock form.

At the end of the day, technology means weight, simple as that. Perfect example the R35. Today's demands with 100 airbags, electronics superior to that of some home computers, zoned climate control, electric seats with 100 different motors, stereo systems with 30 speakers etc makes it very difficult to build a car targeted to a majority of people (families, work vehicles, towing etc) that is still going to be under 1400kg.

I agree with this. A mate of mine has a VX i think it is. A clubby with over 500rwkw fully worked with a 3.3lt Whipple. He is running low 11's yet another guy up in Darwin runs 11.7 with under 500hp in his gtr. The commo weighs in at a massive 2100kg yet my skyline is about 1400 i think. Not confirmed yet but still the power to weight is crazy

    • For once a good news  It needed to be adjusted by that one nut and it is ok  At least something was easy But thank you very much for help. But a small issue is now(gearbox) that when the car is stationary you can hear "clinking" from gearbox so some of the bearing is 100% not that happy... It goes away once you push clutch so it is 100% gearbox. Just if you know...what that bearing could be? It sounding like "spun bearing" but it is louder.
    • Yeah, that's fine**. But the numbers you came up with are just wrong. Try it for yourself. Put in any voltage from the possible range and see what result you get. You get nonsense. ** When I say "fine", I mean, it's still shit. The very simple linear formula (slope & intercept) is shit for a sensor with a non-linear response. This is the curve, from your data above. Look at the CURVE! It's only really linear between about 30 and 90 °C. And if you used only that range to define a curve, it would be great. But you would go more and more wrong as you went to higher temps. And that is why the slope & intercept found when you use 50 and 150 as the end points is so bad halfway between those points. The real curve is a long way below the linear curve which just zips straight between the end points, like this one. You could probably use the same slope and a lower intercept, to move that straight line down, and spread the error out. But you would 5-10°C off in a lot of places. You'd need to say what temperature range you really wanted to be most right - say, 100 to 130, and plop the line closest to teh real curve in that region, which would make it quite wrong down at the lower temperatures. Let me just say that HPTuners are not being realistic in only allowing for a simple linear curve. 
    • I feel I should re-iterate. The above picture is the only option available in the software and the blurb from HP Tuners I quoted earlier is the only way to add data to it and that's the description they offer as to how to figure it out. The only fields available is the blank box after (Input/ ) and the box right before = Output. Those are the only numbers that can be entered.
    • No, your formula is arse backwards. Mine is totally different to yours, and is the one I said was bang on at 50 and 150. I'll put your data into Excel (actually it already is, chart it and fit a linear fit to it, aiming to make it evenly wrong across the whole span. But not now. Other things to do first.
    • God damnit. The only option I actually have in the software is the one that is screenshotted. I am glad that I at least got it right... for those two points. Would it actually change anything if I chose/used 80C and 120C as the two points instead? My brain wants to imagine the formula put into HPtuners would be the same equation, otherwise none of this makes sense to me, unless: 1) The formula you put into VCM Scanner/HPTuners is always linear 2) The two points/input pairs are only arbitrary to choose (as the documentation implies) IF the actual scaling of the sensor is linear. then 3) If the scaling is not linear, the two points you choose matter a great deal, because the formula will draw a line between those two points only.
