is anyone else getting a tad over seeing commos on the road with chevy rear/front badges?

fark theres more holdens with chevy badges here than there are actual chevys in america!!

are they factory optioned or something?

i know its coz of the v8 engines in holdens but theyre GM engines, theyre not built by chevrolet they just happen to be used in them aswell :D

arent the americans meant to be the "less educated" ones? i bet if you went over there you wouldnt see a single corvette with holden badges on...

ive decided to get a 2jz transplant and stick toyota badges on my car. screw this shit :D

/end rant

I was over it 20+ yrs ago, when every 1 tonner had one, a mate back then even had one on his HQ sedan...

Admittedly it had a 327 in it but still I hated it like I would a ginger headed step son.

Wtf is with commondorks with Pontiac bonnets and Chev badges though?

Some sort of identity crisis.. They're all ugly, that's all that matters.

Lexus Soarer ... Toyota Soarer ? any different ?

i've seen Toyota Soarer..... then a few months later same car has Lexus tags on them

I see a lot of that too but to the Toyotas boys credit, other than the badges they are actually the same car most of the time

oh god ive seen this soooooo much lately - was speaking with some mates about it and they all were sick of seeing every 2nd commo with a chev badge - put a f**king vauxhall badge on it you sheep!

ive seen one with a Lexus badge on the back and a Toyota badge on the front.

I purchased my Calais with the chevy badges already on it. Can't say it would be something I would have done myself but the Idiot had removed all the Calais badges which I put back on. I've removed the chevy badge from the bonnet and left the boot garnish & wheel centres as chevy. CBF changing them.

i dont see what all the fuss is about.. i mean is the world really coming to an end if people put a better looking badge on thier car?? (which kinda makes sense for the LS1s ect.)

i see nothing wrong with having a bow tie at the front or back of an SS, clubbie or the like so rimon find something else to b!tch about mate... lol

p.s. i havnt done it

It's a bit Michael Jackson when you think about it, no matter what he does he'll never be what he obviously wants to be.

Mmmm chevy badged comms will now be know as thriller edition comms.

    • After using a protractor for an actually accurate assessment of what is required,  and by NOT using my uncalibrated eyeball I worked out I need a 25° silicone bend from the TB ro the MAF, but, my choice was either a 30° or a 23° (23° is a weird spec), so I grabbed the 23° one from Raceworks I also grabbed 1mtr of 3" straight from Just Jap, I needed 350mm, but they only had 300mm, or 1mtr lengths....meh Also ordered a 1/2" hose bulkhead fitting from fleabay, this has a smoothish mushroom looking head (they are designed for below the water line of boats) that will fit inside the bend, the hose bit and threaded bit looks to long, but nothing that a hacksaw cannot fix if required, the hose will then just get jamed on the threaded bit up to the retaining nut Fingers crossed and the unsightly amount of hose clamps will be reduced down to 4 once all the parts arrive 
    • Oil change does not trigger code 21. Code 21 is for coilpacks primary side connection. You can try to clear the code with a battery disconnect, hold down the brake pedal to drain capacitors through the brake lights with the ignition on for 10-15 seconds before you reconnect the battery. I have seen R35 coil conversion permanently cause this code with no ill effects so it might be the resistance it wants to see isn't quite right on one or more coilpacks. Could be inside the ECU, could be the harness, could be a coil. You can test it all if you want or just ignore until the car actually starts misfiring.
    • I forgot you have a Nistune ECU. Use Nistune to do all the tests I mentioned instead of faffing with 30+ year old electrical connectors. You can read MAF volts off that too, there are reference values in the service manual to tell you roughly what it should be in different conditions.
    • No. I think it might be the AFM. Hence the use of the terms "swaptronics", which implies the use of swapping out electronics for the purpose of diagnosis. It's about the only way to prove that a small/niggling/whatever problem with an AFM or a CAS or similar is actually caused by that AFM/CAS/whatever. A known good item swapped in that still gives the same problem is likely to be caused somewhere else. They're all the same. Spraying AFMs with cleaner is an each way bet between cleaning it and f**king it.
    • Oh wow! This might actually work amazingly. Do you know the ratio of the diff? I was told the only thing you need to make sure of is if the front & rear diff ratios are the same. Ours is a 4.083 Thanks!
