What the hell wait up. I thought there was only two of them built, one of them is with Holden and the other was bought by old mate in Cairns for $900k. So which one is that?

Edited by PM-R33

Yep. Most expensive car sold in Australian history. $920,000 if you want an exact figure.

Hence what the f**k is one doing on pickles auction site. It is either the one Holden owns (which the said they would never sell) or Chooka in Cairns is selling his.

Hard times at Holden I guess. guess the value of your mate's car just dropped :(

Lol I doubt Holden would be selling their only proof of ever building one (assuming they don't have one hidden some where that no one knows about).

It's most likely Chooka's or something, I dunno. Or it could be a very good replica.

F**k im an idiot! After looking over all the photos it is a replica :(

Key points:

Engine bay - That aint the C5R 7.0L with a carbon fibre trumpet manifold not to mention all the other differences (strut brace, throttle body, coolant overflow bottle, firewall heat insulation etc etc)

Registration - Can't be registered but it says it is

Seats - No red inserts on the seats

Fuel cap - not the silver aluminium one

And a bunch of other minor differences. Very strange that they haven't written "REPLICA" or something anywhere.

Well that settles that, im off to bed.

The mystery case is open again... LOL

Will we ever discover the origins of the Holden Monaro Test car at Pickles auction? Or will the mystery go unknown once it is auctioned off?

Stay Tuned! on SAU! :(

Dont know where you get the idea that its a replica.

Its the real deal.

I have seen this car and its the one and the same

I dont want to sound dense here guys but what exactly is this car ?

Cheers boys,

Mitch.

Its a kind of impractical taxi with only 2 doors and very poor fuel economy. The ultimate example of why there is no point putting lipstick on a p1g.

I wouldn't bet on it being a replica - given that there were only two built, there's every chance they're both unique in terms of specs.

Well shit there you go. Never realised that the two cars were different. Kind of sucks that for $920,000 there is so many things missing on that car. The trumpet carbon fibre manifold is a work of art on the other one.

Wonder how much it will sell for....

    • Ok guys thank you very much. GCG highflow it is then 🙂 
    • forgot to mention that when it does this it does not kill the engine, but I have not kept the pedal down long enough to let it, as I see no reason to beat up on it as its got to be something simple, small and dumb causing this.  And as soon as I let off pedal, the engine returns to its normal super smooth operation and rpms re-stabilize quickly, once below 4k. 
    • neither stumble or cut really seem to be an appropriate term....hard to explain its like a rev limiter but at 4k, but it violently shakes engine and entire vehicle as the rpms will not rise over 4k, even with slow acceleration. as soon as it hits 4k, it sounds like entire spark is lost entirely. plugs were 1.1 which I used as such, but later put in new plugs gapped down to .8 changed back after issue arose when I replaced the coils, still does it with either plug gap...damn and it was all running so good.
    • Oh how times have changed! I actually lean it out relative to my water/methanol injector duty cycle. The methanol adds a lot of fueling and you can then lean it out even more due to reduced knock. 
    • Yeah my thoughts are the same, a well thought out WMI setup, would be slightly ahead of just straight E85 and you're also chemically intercooling the charged air, dropping it even further. This is why you need to add so much more fuel as soon as you spray. I remember someone taking me through their set up before (Dennis, has a R33, lives around Cabramatta - no idea if he's still around on this forum). He would target AFR 10:1 on 98, then as WMI ramped on, AFR would lean back up to 11:1. Amazingly, he did this all through his PowerFC, a relay to cut power to his EBC solenoid if there was not enough line pressure on his WMI kit. And of course, if there wasn't any boost made above gate pressure, you wouldn't be accessing the load cells with heaps of timing for WMI. One downside to that rudimentary setup, once the WMI came on, the EBC would unleash the dragon, and of course all the timing. Tyres would fry lol.
