Nothing wrong with a N/A if your on your Ps or using as a daily to and from work, both in which I do... its been great never had a problem even when I get pulled over on the way to work (happened a few times now) they come up look at the brakes and go.. "bugger non turbo"

+1. They are fun when you are on your P's. And you still get the same looks from people around, especially when you are driving a Skyline on P's.

fastest commo v6 is the VN and they got slower from there jonoe :)

Actually Boz the VP is the fastest commodore ever. The VN V6 did 0-100 in 8.1 seconds the VP did it in 8.0. They just kept getting slower and slower from the VP onwards because they kept adding safety feature after feature but not that much more power until the slowness peaked with the VT V6 which did 0-100 in 9.1 seconds. The current VE is still slower than a VP it does it in 8.6 seconds.

To those of you comparing sporty cars like the Magna VRX with the Commodore just dont, your comparing something built with sporting pretensions with a car just designed to be a family car. If you want to make a fair comparison compare it with the likes of an SS or a Clubbie, and by the way the Commodores that have an S after the name only means you get a stupid spolier and a bodykit not more power. Also the VT came out in 97 not 03, so if you want to compare sporty family cars, VY SS vs 03 Magna VRX, I wonder which one would win :)

the NA supra is well, slow.

In comparison with a modern aussie V8, turbo 6 or turbo Supra or Skyline definetly. But for an NA car its definetly a quick one 0-100 in 6.59 seconds is pretty impressive it would trounce every car we have discussed in this thread.

so if you want to compare sporty family cars, VY SS vs 03 Magna VRX, I wonder which one would win :)

Just forgot to include. I'm referring to cars which is legal for P's. OFC the VR-X isn't in the same league as the S pack commo, I just used the S pack because that was the beastiest it could get for a p plater wanting a commo. (I under stand commo badges... >.>)

Sorry for miss understanding :)

No worries :merli: Best Victorian P-Plater car imo is the NA Supra, it has the speed and is quite the confortable cruiser too. S13 Silvia's and the 180sx get an honourable mention as well, they are reasonable quick cars and both hold there values brilliantly well because P-platers always want a cool first car. Although fastest car now legal for P-platers that I know of is the factory turbo VL commodore which can be great fun but are cop bait.

    • So I'll put filler past the repair area a bit to make sure I don't miss anything. Then I'll block it until it's almost level, put the guidecoat, then keep blocking until it's gone. Then it's still wavy.  In regards to hitting the panel, I saw this video might give more context - Skip to 0:47 he knocks it down. But yeah I'm sanding until the guidecoat is gone then checking because otherwise my filler is still well above the bodyline. Unless what you're saying is I should put guidecoat around it early, surrounding the filler then stip once it's gone?
    • I refreshed the OEM injectors with the kit and connected it up. It now ideals okay even with the IACV removed. Driving still has the same cutoff issue like the 550cc injectors so the issue is somewhere else. I bought FPG's Fuel Pump Hanger. I will be installing it next, but it is not as straightforward as I thought it was with my limited wiring knowledge and no instruction on the specific model I purchased (FPG-089). I also got the incorrect billet clamp as I could not find info on the OEM sizing.
    • Stop looking at the garage floor, and turn the radio up a bit louder if there's any strange noises...
    • No. Turbo shuffle and surge/flutter are not the same thing. Specifically, on a GTR, turbo shuffle has a definite meaning. On a GTR, the twin turbos are assumed to be the same thing and to operate the same way, exactly. In reality, they do not. Their exhaust sides are fed and exhaust a little differently, to each other. Their inlet sides are fed and exhausted a little differently, to each other. Consequently, when they are "working" they are often at slightly different points on the compressor map compared to each other. What this means, particularly when coming on boost, is that one of them will spool up and start producing extra flow compared to the other, which will put back pressure on that other compressor, which will push the operating point on that other compressor up (vertically). This will generally result in it bumping up against the surge line on the map, but even if it doesn't, it upsets the compressor and you get this surging shuffle back and forth between them That is "turbo shuffle" on a GTR. It is related to other flutter effects heard on other turbo systems, but it is a particular feature of the somewhat crappy outlet piping arrangement on RB26s. There are plenty of mods that have been attempted with varying levels of success. People have ground out and/or welded more material into the twin turbo pipe to try to prevent it. Extending the divider inside it works, removing material doesn't. There are aftermarket replacement twin turbo pipes available, and these exist pretty mush purely because of this shuffle problem.
