Dont worry, i cruise with these guys all the time, and it will take a modded HSV to beat you. I hand it too them all the time, even a XR6 comes along too and i just beat him.

The modded ones can be quick, low 13's, they are quick on the roll too, i havent raced one of these yet but i dont think i will beat one.

Netherless ive only spent $20 and i still reckon mine looks hotter..

Ive got 178rwkw.

The VY series has improved significantly over the previous Commodore series, in performance, handling, and in build quality - I drive them, and all sorts of new cars every day for work, but don't let the facts get in the way of a good sledge :(

If your car is stock, his car will be much quicker than yours. If its a new VY ii R8, it will out handle yours.

Once you get modifying, you'll be able to turn the tables.

The VY series 2 have 285kw standard. That is the base model. They are claimed to run 13.6 sec standard by HSV, which with a decent driver should be matched.

Its hard to say what power you'd need in a Skyline to top that, but you'd need a few modifications at the least.

Here comes the Holdne GenIII bashing:D

Look at GTP, i see HSVs giving it to EVOs and STIs, so as far as performance goes, perhaps it will be wise to not be so quick to judge.

So HSV may not handle (ie feel/sit nice around corners etc) but they sure do generate some corner grip, and have plenty of grunt

Id like to see a comparo between a 40k R34 25GT and an R8 Clubsport, might be interesting.

As for resale, SV89/90s, 5.7L GTS (stroked 304 with 6spds) etc still fetch high teens into 20s depending on model which aint bad.

There are hundreds of thousends of cars out there that are faster than your Skyline, but who really cares ?

Does it really matter ?

Similarly, there will be faster and better cars than your neighbour's HSV.

None of this matters.

What's important is that YOU like and enjoy your car - as long as you're having fun, don't worry about the rest of the planet as there will always be a faster car than yours...

So just be happy with what you've got and enjoy your ride, dude! :(

after owning a 81 falcon, 76 escort, 79 commodore, 87 commodore I'm sure I will be happy mate.

To me straight line perfomance is only as important as ride quality and handling I think the R33 will be ample for me...

More like a case of no matter what you get you're always gonna want something better, faster etc. Maybe a result of the materialistic society we live in maybe just me maybe both.

Im sure this Wednesday when I'm driving the car up the M1 from the compliance shop to Brisbane I will be shaking with excitment and loving my new toy with a big dum grin. Probably wont even notice any HSV's and wont care if i do.

There we go i feel better already - self therapy...

The Y series HSV's are a whole lot better than previous generations. I drive a R8 regularly and like it. If your 25t is stock, the VY HSV will out accelerate and out handle you. But don't worry, a few simple mods will see you laughing :(.

hmm $50-60k for a New HSV?

Just think about the kind of GTR R33 you could get for that money and compare it to the HSV.

I think the interior of the HSV would be a lot nicer, and probably a lot easier to sell and insure.. and get you HUGE respect amongst the bogan community, which unfortunately makes up most of the Australian population it seems.

And if you still feel nervous, ask him what his repayments are :(

      A 1.5 way is a 2 way. It is just a 2 way with a less aggressive ramp on overrun.

      Boost cut after swap(RB25DET NEO) R34

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      The ABS and/or TCS being missing/broken will not cause the engine to misbehave. It just casues CEL to come on and annoy you. The CEL is useless if it is always on, so you have to do the things you have to do to get rid of it, so it can be useful. Being a Stag ECU, then yes, it will not expect TCS to be present. But it will expect ABS to be present and working. You will need to either make the ABS CU talk to the ECU (don't ask me what that will take on an NA R34), and make sure the hardware is working....or, you just need to blank it out in Nistune. Do not persist with the stock ECU. You will just have problems. Gte it Nistuned. Start from there. DO YOU HAVE A BOOST SENSOR? The ECU's boost sensor that it. It is connected to the loom at the rear of the coil cover. Usually rides on the firewall on an R34, but is usually bolted down to a bracket along with all the other crap at the back of the coil cover when a Neo is dropped into another car. If you do not have it, the ECU will shit the bed. So, do you have one?

      So sadly the fuel pump etc was not it. The pump and filter is new and it is still cutting around 4000 rpm. A read something about ABS/TCS (engine is from stagea and ECU too so no TCS) and i dont know for 100% that my car has ABS. It has ABS "cube" in engine bay but i dont think it works(or at least from my braking experience). Can be something like that?  I will be driving the car next week to Nistune tuner to properly see what is wrong...

      the Tomei LSD fluid with lsd kit. frustrated that it was shaking the car to crap and affecting everything else negatively, I pulled the diff last night, and removed the lsd carrier, could not find anything wrong, however it seem to be 100 locked up acceleration, and deacceleration, wondering if they sent me a 2 way not a 1.5??  either way I installed the stock open carrier back in place. test drove everything smooth as butter again. no shake, shutter, random, what felt like clutch slip and grab or drive shaft play, etc. something differently wrong in side the lsd. I might bother taking it apart (if possible) to figure out what's going on inside this carrier, as bought too long ago to return.  only draw back is its back to a one wheel wonder.
