holdens 4wd system in the adventra wasnt the best i dont think.....

It does seem a bit strange they would do that, but I guess the RB probably delivers the power smoother rather then all in on burst... Must be better for drifting if theyve spent the money to do it?

I doubt it. Wouldn't a drifter be after the most torque possible? a turboed LS1 would produce some epic torque for 2k rpm rather than 5k+ like the 26. Probably did it just to show it can be done...

yeh im not sure, they use monaros in drift with v8s still in them. The only logical reason i thought would be for the extra revs and perhaps the RB being a bit lighter? i dunno

Perhaps its easier to control higher revs then to control all that torque lower down. Havent drifted V8s so no idea on the downfalls of it

its just cool to be different. whether you like 'shittadores' or not, seing one on lock, rb26 screaming at 9000rpm, gate wide open, is wwaaayyyyy cooler than another s13. even a turbo v8 wouldnt have the same appeal if you were a spectator and saw it out on the track...

for me, it would still be cool if it were a v8, but if i heard that thing in the flesh i'd probly be running to the pits to get a closer look

bingo.

I was going to be at that event, but got shipped out from Singapore a few weeks ago. I will enjoy working in Singapore more when they open their motorsport complex next year. Drift is popular, and pretty cool that some Aussie influence is present in their drift scene!

thats fanga dan from nz. he has been drifting a rb26 power commo for a while now. kills it too. he wanted to use the v8 but had a 26 or somthing along those lines and could not get enough sponsership at the time to do the v8 thing. combo seems to work very well.

i wonder if anyone has taken the adventra running gear and put it in a commodore shell, turbo/supercharged 4wd V8 power

yep theres a guy on the commodore forum thats doin it. just for the record holden made a ltd edition monaro with the awd. its called a coupe4. the dude from HPF put a big ass turbo on a coupe4. i cant remember how it went.

All I can think is. Why would you bother? Some people honestly just have too much money.

i would be proud to have that parked in my driveway, i reckon the stance, the graphics even the rear wing look agressive yet sleek... regardless of engine type.

    • LOL.... a good amount of people (not all) on that continent seem to know everything and like to measure things in bananas, football fields, statue of liberties instead of the metric system lol.
    • I assume the modules are similar enough, so if you've had no issues I don't see why I would. I have tried to find a wiring diagram for the FPCM / fuel pump circuit, but I can't find it anywhere. Otherwise, I would just do some wire cutting and joining at the FPCM and give the 12 V supplied to the FPCM directly to the pump instead. If you know anyone that could help with wiring diagrams, I'd be very happy  
    • If it dies, then bypass. The task isn't difficult. I have one running on a standard R32 FPCM. That's after nearly 20 years of it running an 040, which pull substantially more current than the Walbro. They're not the same module, but I'd hope it indicates that the R33 one should be man enough for the job. I think people kill them when putting proper sized pumps on them, not these little toy pumps we're talking about here.
    • Silicone spray won't hurt anything. And if it does, that's an opportunity to put some solid steel spherical bushings in, so you can really learn what suspension noise sounds like, If you're going to try it, just spray one bush at a time, so you can work out which one is actually noisy. My best guess is that if the noise started only since putting the coilovers in, then it is just noise being transmitted up through the top mounts of the struts, and not necessarily "new" noise from bushes. But it's almost impossible to know.
    • Are you saying the 34 is SUV height, and not that we're talking about an SUV here? (because if we're talking about an SUV, you don't fix them. You just replace them when something breaks. Not worth establishing sufficient emotional connection with an SUV to warrant doing any work on one). I wouldn't jack my car up on a short little loop of 10mm steel rod poking out through a hole in the bumper bar, front or rear end. I realise that we're probably not talking about that type of loop at the front, being the one under/behind the bar on a Skyline.... but even for that one, trying to jack up on what amounts to a thin piece of steel, designed purely for withstanding a horizontal tension force, not a vertical compressive force (and so would be prone to buckling/crushing) and, my most particular bitch about it - located RIGHT AT THE EXTREME FRONT OF THE CAR, applying a load up through the radiator support panel, etc, with almost the entire mass of the car cantilevered between there and the rear wheels? Nope. Not doing that. Not on the regular. That structure out there in front of the front crossmember is not designed to carry load in the vertical direction. Not really designed to carry any load at all, really. The chassis rail that the tow point is connected to would be fine loaded in tension, as per towing. Not intended to carry the mass of the whole car, especially loaded all on one rail, with twisting and all sorts of shitty load distribution going on. No, I will happily drive up on some pieces of wood, thanks. That can only happen on driven wheels, and they are at the other end of the car, and this problem does not exist at that end of the car. And even then, I have been known to drive up on at least 1x piece of 2x8 each side at the rear, simply to reduce the amount of jack pumping necessary to get the car up high enough for the jack stands. What really really shits me about Skylines is the lack of decent places for chassis stands at either end of the car. You'd think they'd be designed into the crossmembers.
