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.

    • It would be different if the sealant hadn't started to peel up with gaps in the glue about ~6cm and bigger in some areas. I would much prefer not having to do the work take them off the car . However, the filler the owner put in the roof rack mount cavities has shrunk and begun to crack on the rail delete panels. I cant trust that to hold off moisture ingress especially where I live. Not only that but I have faded paint on as well as on either side of these panels, so they would need to come off to give the roofline a proper respray. My goal is to get in there and put a healthy amount of epoxy instead of panel filler/bog and potentially skin with carbon fiber. I have 2 spare rolls from an old motorcycle fairing project from a few years back and I think it'd be a nice touch on a black stag.  I've seen some threads where people replace their roof rack delete with a welded in sheet metal part. But has anyone re-worked the roof rails themselves? It seems like there is a lot of volume there to add in some threads and maybe a keyway for a quick(er) release roof rack system. Not afraid to mill something out if I have to. It would be cool to have a cross bar only setup. That way I can keep the sleek roofline that would accept a couple bolts to gain back that extra utility  3D print some snazzy covers to hide the threaded section to be thorough and keep things covered when not using the rack. 
    • Probably not. A workshop grade scantool is my go to for proper Consult interrogation. Any workshop grade tool should do it. Just go to a workshop.
    • In my head it does make sense to be a fuel problem since that is what I touched when cleaning the system. When I was testing with the fuel pressure gauge, the pressure was constantly 2.5 bar with the FPR vacuum removed. When stalling, the pressure was going up to 3.0 bar (which is how it should be on ignition).
    • ECUtalk pages don't mention they support the ABS computer (consult port has more than one CAN), so you might just need a different scan tool. But, I would expect ABS is a different light to the brake warning/handbrake light, do you see an ABS light come on for a few seconds when you turn the key from ACC to IGN? But since you said: I'd have a look at the ABS sensors in the rear hubs to make sure they are not damaged, disconnected etc.
    • OK, if it idles at 1000+ with the AAC, its not an idle airflow problem. The cold start valve just gives extra air when the engine is cold, but you have enough air without it to idle at 1000. I think you are back to a fuel problem, sorry. Can you see the fuel pressure staying constant or does it drop as the revs drop to a stall?
