I'm tipping James has offered a lambo or F430 scuderia ;) maybe an audi R8, or perhaps a big ass Hummer ? I'd be almost embarrassed to have my car next to one of those! :D

I think the hummer would suit vin best.

Yeah thing with a Hummer is, they're a commonly available US domestic car, and it wouldnt exactly leave a lasting impression on him.

I wouldnt like to go to USA and be driven around in a commodore :3some:

Id lean towards ISF, Lambo, Ferrari 360CS/430, Merc black series CLK, Porsche GT3 or GT40. Maybe a nice Aston, but i think Universal wouldnt have that much taste in cars for something like this, as its more of a "wow" than a "oooooh"

Although, seeing how many passengers there are, these spring to mind; RS4, Masarati x 2, Bentley, Ferrari 612, GTR Q7, and yeah, the H2

But yes James, dont leave us in suspense

i reckon an aussie classic ...

HQ Manaro, Blown , engine out of the hood, fat tyers, lumpy cam's .... that should leave an aussie impression on him

The HQ is one of holdens least aussie cars, right up there with the opel commodore.

XB coupe or slr5000.

I could be wrong... ...But I'm sure the HQ Monaro and later series (HJ, HX, HZ) cars were Australian designed... ...I thought it was the first Monaro (HK), and the HT and HG series Monaros that were Opel based...

Mazda even rebadged the Australian built HQ as a Roadpacer... ...But dropped a rotary in there...

They were US designed, the commodores were opel.

The body shape, interior and the sloppy US suspension that was not suited to australian conditions.

Taking visual cues and technical information from US knowledge doesn't stop them being Australian designed cars...

The commodores that came later were definitely Opel... ...with a few small changes to body strength for Australia's harsher climate...

lol i'd give it a shot ... i got 5 doors ? take the whole crew,

privacy tint, would just sneak right in un-noticed ...

but its not riced up sorry

would of been cool if they got a 260RS

hopefully you dont cop a defect on route to said premier....have paul walker talk you out of that haha

lol - nothing would make me laugh more than a tale about the Vic Poleeze, Paul Walker and a modified import (with a Motec exhaust no less)

It would be even funnier if it was everyone's friend out in Knox :down:

    • HyperGear. Just get a high flow of the stocker. Good, reliable, and should bolt on. Yes it will want things like a retune once done, so you need to factor this in to your spend too.
    • Hi. Iam looking for some "cheaper" bolt on turbo on RB25DET NEO. I do not want "big" power just better reliability than the stock turbo which is "fot now" good but is old and i do not think it has "easy" life. One the Skyline here running some "temu" china Turbo but i dont trust those... Thanks!

    • That's kind of what I was getting at saying you'd be here soon regarding length etc being able to add additional restriction.  My assumption (possible donkeys of you and mption) is that the length of hose to an oil cooler, and back, isn't going to be that huge of a loss. Typically you're talking about 1.5m of total length. And so far everyone in our world hasn't had issues with oil not being able to get to a cooler and back, it's more been, how the heck do we get the oil out of the head and back down to the bottom? I'd nearly hazard a guess the biggest issue people have with oil cooling and oil supply, is being able to get the heat out at the cooler itself (not enough air flow, too small of a cooler etc) Also, when people mount them wrong and make really awesome air traps so they've dramatically diminished the cooling capacity.
    • I will rebutt this and the preceding point from Dose....but without doing any calcs to demonstrate anything and without knowing that I am right or wrong. But... The flow capacity of a fluid transfer system is not limited by the smallest orifice or section of conduit in that system, unless it is drastically smaller than the rest of the system. OK, I use the word drastically perhaps with too much emphasis, but let's drill down on what I really mean. The flow capacity of the system is the result of the sum of the restrictions of the entire system. So, to make an extreme example, if you have a network with 3" pipe everywhere (and let's say a total length of only a few metres) and that 12mm ID restriction of the oil filter connection being the obvious restriction, then for any given amount of pressure available, the vast majority of all the pressure drop in the system is going to occur in the 12mm restriction. But.... increase the length of the 3" pipeline to, say 1000m, and suddenly the pipe pressure loss will likely add up to either be in the same order of magnitude, possibly even exceeding that of the 12mm restriction. Now the 12mm restriction starts to matter less. Translate this to the actual engine, actual oil cooler hose sizing, etc etc, and perhaps: The pressure loss caused by flowing through the narrow section (being the 12mm oil filter port, and perhaps any internal engine oil flow pathways associated with it) is a certain number. The pressure loss through, say, -12 hoses out to the cooler and back is negligible, but The pressure loss through -10 hoses out to the cooler, at the exact same length as the above, starts to become a decent fraction of the loss through the 12mm stuff at the filter port. Maybe even it starts to exceed it. I could actually do these calcs if I knew 1) how much oil was actually flowing in the line, 2) gave enough of a f**k to do things that I hate doing for work, voluntarily for a hypothetical discussion. Anyway - I reiterate. It's not the narrowest port that necessarily determines how much it can all flow. It is the sum. A long enough length of seemingly fat enough pipe can still cause more loss than a semmingly dominant small bore restriction.
