Just to upset the skewed curve of distribution...W427 :(

I am in no way complaining about the awesomeness of this garage, but if I was in a position to own this I'd have got them in different colours...or I'd be forever comparing shades of red!

love them both. if we were talking the monaro 427 that was supposed to go into production at $250K or an R35. I would have to say I'd go the monaro. I love my japanese cars and have had heaps of them inc R35 GTR but deep down I love my aussie monaro and reckon the 427 would be a goer with all the gear that was on them.

one of my favourite cars and i've been in some good ones over the years! I was gutted that they never went ahead with making more.

I mean just look at the engine in the thing...

Agreed...the Coupe 60 and the HRT427 were just sex on wheels in their own different rights. Coupe 60 had some beautiful and innovative styling cues (side exhausts on a street car, no B pillar and the bootlip spoiler) which would have been cool if they made it to production. HRT427 was a racing beast made for the street, that would have carried with it immense street cred. Pretty sure the unofficial quartermile on the HRT427 was 12 seconds flat. Of course, if you really want one there are a couple of Melbourne based companies who can get your CV8 pretty similarly set up to it.

That's exactly why I like this owner's garage. Evidence of no inherent and irrational bias towards a particular type of car...he's tasted the goods on either side and decided he likes both. Which is more than I can say for a couple of people on this forum :yes:

Unless of course it is his wife's car lol.

    • It is a kunfine Android screen . Does anyone know the wirering diagram of the fuga ??
    • just an update to this, poor man pays twice  Tried sanding down the pulleys but it didnt do the trick. Chucked another second hand alternator in the na car which I got for free off my mate and its fixed the squelling. Must have been unlucky with the bearings.    As for my turbo car, I managed to pick up a cwc rb alternator conversion bracket + LS alternator for 250 off marketplace, looked to be in really good nick. Installed it , started the car and its not charging the battery.... ( Im not good with auto elec stuff so im not sure if this was all I needed to do but I verified such by using a multimeter on the battery when the engine was running and I was only getting 12.2v )   I had to modify the earth strap for the new LS alternator , factory earth strap was a 10mm bolt which did not fit the bolt on the LS alternator which was double the size so I cut it off , went to repco bought some ring terminals that fit, crimped it onto the old earth strap and bolted it up to the alternator , started the car and same issue. Ran like shit and was reading 12.2 at the battery.  For a "plug and play" advertised kit thats not very plug and play but alas.  My question is , am I missing something ? Ive been reading that some people recommend upgrading the stock 80 amp alternator fuse to a 140 amp but I dont see how that would stop the alternator charging especially at idle not under load.  Regardless ive pulled it out and am going to get it bench tested by an auto elec tomorrow but it would be handy to know if ive missed something silly or have done something wrong.   
    • My wild guess is that you have popped off an intake pipe....check all of the hoses between the turbo and the throttle for splits or loose clamps.
    • Awesome, thanks for sharing!
    • To provide more specific help, more information is needed. What Android screen? What is its wiring diagram? Does the car's wiring have power at any required BAT and ACC wires, and is the loom's earth good?
