loving the 180 and the photography.

Thanks :)

Don't hate me.... it has cruise control, 19,000 km and a place to put my bikes...

get normal plates, put a holden badge back on it and you have a winner!

Yeah the plates have to go, but the Chev badges require replacing the grill and I cbf'd. Thinking about painting them the same colour as the wheels so at least they are matching.

tough ute is it an 8? plates and badges yeh.. not so much :unsure:

SV6 but has GTS rims <3 Chose a 6 because it is cheaper in price, petrol and insurance. Plus I don't really get the V power... it slides around every time I gas it, corner or straight, as a six, I don't think an 8 would do anything better.

I'm actually quite surprised you guys like it.. I thought I'd get hammered >_<

Please say its a manual? Love a late model manual stag.

never made a NM35 Manual stag with a VQ25DET :( shame really. the manual ones were VQ30DE or VQ35DE.

but thoughts are among converting it to RWD V35 Manual. or a cut n shut Getrag 34 box.

seeming very costly for now - atleast the auto RE5 is handling 702nm torque - but for how long ..

    • If you mean the alarm immobiliser; theyre internal to the alarm itself which makes that difficult; I couldnt even see where he put it; its not in the same place as last time; but with all black wiring it might be very challenging to trace  I had someone turn the key for me as I know it only primes for a couple of seconds As my post above; I am getting no voltage to the pump at all; but I am testing continuity of the power line (SB) from the pump plug to the relay fine. As well as the negative from the pump plug to a 12V constant.    Yeah; he blammed the no start on a bad battery; said I needed to get a new battery and it'll start. Turns out the battery drained because the tail lights had been on for half the day during the install (the rubber cushion on the brake switch gave out while he was testing it as I have a picture of the car from that morning with the tail lights off..i've replaced that). The battery was turning over the engine just fine for a long time; but got low since lights were draining it so it was too low to test a start after he finished. I bought a new one on his advice...$250 wasted. My original battery charged up just fine and is healthy.    It was running perfectly fine when I messed up the old alarm (programmed out the remotes). He couldnt start it after removing the old alarm; my assumption is that when he unhooked it; he didnt bridge the circuit back when trying to start it. Its always been perfectly fine. The ECU swap and pump were 2 years ago. It's never missed a beat in that time. 
    • This is a big issue for me without the diff. I just have zero drive from the passenger side when drivers side has no traction. Bec's parents place has a crazy steep driveway with odd camber and I have never been able to get up. My bro-in-law's 130i with an (unknown brand) LSD gets up fine as does their dad's Hiace. My car stays at the bottom. We have other odd camber roads around here as we're elevated a bit and if it's raining I can get totally stuck around some hairpins. 
    • Yeah, I am super excited for this.
    • Was the car running before he touched the car?
