Erm, ylwgtr2, the GT500 GT-Rs have run a VQ30DETT for a couple of years now...

Just like the GT500 Supras run V8s (a stroked 5.3L 3UZ-FE Lexus mill), as does the HKS Mercedes CLK (a Merc 5.0L).

The GT300 350Z uses an NA VQ35 and revs out to 850rpm (or near there)

Oh, and the Monaro might make 600hp from 427ci, but it's redline is down near 5-6000rpm so it's not spinning like the other cars in the class (Ferrari, Porsche et al)

If you put JGTC up against Nations Cup, there's no way the Aussies would win considering the level of modification the Japs are allowed. Although, if someone was to bring in a Ferrari 575GTC, Chev Corvette C5-R or Lamborghini Murcielargo R-GT it could be a different story.

these were taken last year...the great man kazuyoshi hoshino holds a toast to his RB26 engine....

U can make a pushrod 7 litre engine rev more than 6000rpm, if it did rev like the ferraris then it would be scrap metal after a few laps.

I actually don't mind my V8....4 cams, 32 valves, 6 bolt mains and 6500 redline.

Thankyou toyota.

Actually a couple of other manufacturers have been interested in V8SC and were willing to build approx 4 litre 4 cam in one of their 4 door variants. Has all gone quiet as the established brands wanted them heavily limited, given the technological advantage and regardless of the 20% less capacity

sigh, the monaro 427 is completely legitimate. It just has a stroked and bored stock engine, it is not the supercar that holden were planning on making, just a regular monaro with a massiver engine in it. Oddly enough the only thing in that car that is from a monaro is the shell. The race was clearly in favour of the monaros though, the rx7s had to run less than stock boost yet the monaros were able to increase their engine displacement to 7 ltres... bs fair competition

Hi Guys,

The 427 is a Big Block V8, not even close to an LS1, it has a Hollinger 6 speed sequential gearbox, the diff is a Ford 9 inch, the body with roll cage was built by Dencar, the brakes are etc etc There is very little 'Olden in them. Plus the 3 were built by Gary Rogers Motorsport not HRT.

If you want to get into V8dinosaurs, there is more "Ford" in a Commondoor than there is "Holden". The diff is a Ford 9 inch, the gearbox is a H pattern Hollinger 6 speed originally in a Ford Top Loader case, the front suspension is double wishbone (not struts) so they have the same adjustablility as a Ford, the engine has equally spaced inlet ports (copying a Ford) whereas Chevies are siamesed, the rear axle is live (not independant) which Commondoors haven't had for years, the chassis aren't even built by Holden, etc etc.

Someone said the GTR in the JGTC was more Nissan than a V8 Commondoor is Holden, well I agree. At least the GTR has a Nissan engine, the Commondoor has a Chevy with a copy of a Ford cylinder head on it.

A small block is defined by the bore spacing. The LS1's bore spacing is that of a small block so therefore it is a small block. It uses a motorsport block which has thicker walls (anyone remember the thick wall Group A RB26 block)

I guess GTR700 really sucks because of all the non production and modified parts on it.

The race was clearly in favour of the monaros though, the rx7s had to run less than stock boost yet the monaros were able to increase their engine displacement to 7 ltres... bs fair competition
The RX7s run lower boost to compete with WRXs, Evos and HSV GTSs. They are not in the same class as the Monaro...

well, not really, if you want a car built from the ground up to race just grab a formula car, V, ford, f3 etc etc.

Production cars have a couple of advantages tho, available base model, parts, 2 seats to scare the crap out of passengers, and ability to keep costs low

Only if you are expecting sales boosts on the outcome of the racing

"Holden (or Ford) wins!!! See your local dealer for a Bathurst winning Falcodore"

It really is like that here Gojira.

so true, when the cheating monaro won bathurst the holden sales pitch was monaro wins game over, trying to say they can beat porsche,lambo and ferrari.

When the reality is that any production monaro would get its ass kicked by a porsche,;ambo or ferrari in every respect!!!

Does anyone really think that though... Is it just a bogan stereotype?

I certainly don't think the taxi that drops my drunken carcass home on after a Friday night has anything to do with the machines nudging 300km/h down Conrod Straight.

What about Supertourers, did people like them? I mean they were pure racing cars, billet suspension arms mounted about 15cm from the original point, tubbed more than any drag car you have ever seen, sequential gearboxes and funky diffs, 19" wheels back when 18" was still considered massive... They really had nothing to do with the cars they were based on...

Supertouring wasn't my favourite racing.

And Duncan, I can't fit my bargearse comfortably in a GTR34 seat let alone a formula anymore.......and you race....so you know that inexpensive is a relative term...especially with no sponsorship.

Not sure what I'm trying to say here though....is it time for beer yet?

Mmmm beer, now that is something we can all enjoy.

I found an GTR34 a bit squeezy too... Not good... Too much good living.

If only they would get on and make an R35 GT-R so we can have a proper argument when PROCAR hobbles it to let the Monaro win :)

I enjoy the V8 Supercar series, but I would prefer some variety of vehicles in a highly tuned state. I hear that Toyota were considering entering this competition. Probably some way off yet if it ever happens.

I think that the Holden 427 should never have been able to race in the Bathurst 24hr. Who is going to beat that car? Not one of those things has been on sale to the public. I sure the government were involved somewhere along the lines of that decision.

Politics + Sport = Ghey

    • What are we supposed to be seeing in the photo of the steering angle sensor? The outer housing doesn't turn, right? All the action is on the inside. The real test here is whether or not your car has had the steering put back together by a butcher. When the steering is centred (and we're not caring about the wheel too much here, we're talking about the front wheels, parallel, facing front) then you should have an absolutely even number of turns from centre to left lock and centre to right lock. If there is any difference at all then perhaps the thing has been put back together wrongly, either the steering wheel put on one spline (or more!) off, and the alignment bodged to straighteb the wheel, or the opposite where something silly was done underneath and the wheel put back on crooked to compensate. Nut there isn't actually much evidence that you have such a problem anyway. It is something you can easily measure and test for to find out though. My money is still on the HICAS CU not driving the PS solenoid with the proper PWM signal required to lighten the load at lower speed. If it were me, I would be putting either a multimeter or oscilloscope onto the solenoid terminals and taking it for a drive, looking for the voltage to change. The PWM signal is 0v, 12V, 0V, 12v with ...obviously...modulated pulse width. You should see that as an average voltage somewhere between 0V and 12V, and it should vary with speed. An handheld oscilloscope would be the better tool for this, because they are definitely good enough but there's no telling if any cheap shit multimeter that people have lying around are good enough. You can also directly interfere with the solenoid. If you wire up a little voltage divider with variable resistor on it, and hook the PS solenoid direct to 12V through that, you can manually adjust the voltage to the solenoid and you should be able to make it go ligheter and heavier. If you cannot, then the problem is either the solenoid itself dead, or your description of the steering being "tight" (which I have just been assuming you mean "heavy") could be that you have a mechanical problem in the steering and there is heaps of resistance to movement.
    • Little update  I have shimmed the solenoid on the rack today following Keep it Reets video on YouTube. However my steering is still tight. I have this showing on Nisscan, my steering angle sensor was the closest to 0 degrees (I could get it to 0 degrees by small little tweaks, but the angle was way off centre? I can't figure this out for the life of me. I get no faults through Nisscan. 
    • The BES920 is like the Toyota Camrys of coffee machines. E61 group head is cool, however the time requirements for home use makes it less desirable. The Toyota Camry coffee machine runs twin boilers and also PID temp control, some say it produces coffees as good as an E61 group head machine.
    • And yes with a full tank it will hit limiter free revving or driving 6B6CDF6E-4094-426D-A9CB-6C553475FE36.mp4
    • One way of putting the fuel surge idea to rest, is that even when in neutral/clutch in or free revving it still has the same issue, it can’t even get to limiter (7800) so to me that says it can’t be g force, I’m not trying to argue I just want to find the f&$king issue 😡
