you've got the new one Div?

have you done the exhaust on it? how does it sound?

Just a BF

The new coyotes look like they are getting stupid power out of basic tunes, easily going over 300rwkw when they are sold as 315 at the fly.

sounds pretty mean though Div,

I think holden win in terms of exhaust sound out of the V8's? what do you reckon?

the new holdens sound pretty good thanks to the chev motor. before the chev motors the fords sounded so much better than the holdens. i still have a soft spot for the ford v8's though

Wow you are an angry little boy arent you. Aren't forums meant to be all about someones opinion. Just because you disagree with someone doesnt make them an idiot. One reason why you see a lot of tradies in falcon utes is due them being able to put an alloy tray on the back. Holden dont allow that anymore but if they did you would see the same amount of holden's out there.

But wait you will disagree with this and call me an idiot as well ;)

I'm not little, nor am I angry.

Falcons have been tradesperson vehicle of choice for about 20 years. Holden's carrying capacity has been shot since they went to independent rear in the utes (around VT? VS/VR were IRS in sedan but I don't think the utes were).

There's opinion, and there's I'll informed, biased rubbish. I'll let you guess which I believed to be coming from you.

lol that just reminded me of the funniest thing that happened to a mate of mine.

he gets a new work ute every 2 years or so right and he went out and got one of the fords with the alloy tray on the back. he picked it up brand new drove it out of the dealership and 20 mins later it broke down...

needed a new engine put into it .... in a brand new f**king car, the flamin mongrels at the ford dealership even tried to make him pay for the tow truck haha

and seriously this was a lovely lil discussion until a certain few morons got involved with it lol....

calling a dude an idiot for teling a story about his mates misfortune with his ford collection is just childish bro, theres a wasteland for that shit.... were trying to decipher which would be the best of the 2 utes would be best for our chosen requirements...the first few pages of this thread were nice and clean, the last 2 have become a slugging match....i get excited when i see a new reply and i see its just retards going on about who would rape who on a track, seriously f**k off aight!!

^^well said Julz.

personally, i like the holden - yummy flared guards and nice sounding '8! who gives a shit how it goes on the track - who buys a ute for that purpose anyway?

Peace

ive now driven both the ssv and the xr6 turbo utes. in terms of straight lines yeah there both ok, not bad even.

but

taking corners in the 2 of them is where they really differ.

the holden was actually quite surprising, it handled ok and even when i gave it a lil 2 much stick was able to be brought back in line pretty well....

i didnt have the same experience driving the ford lolz (to say the least)

i was waiting to give my full detailed decription and analysis until after i have driven a v8 ford but if the chassis is the same then i dont think much will change from my current description...

the seats and interior in the holden are nicer as well.

and im sick of seeing in the car adverts the new "euro" styling of the ford. its a fkn ford ffs lolz

I do think tho it is quite ironic that i am arguing Holden vs Ford in a skyline forum. But the funnier thing is the two cars that this forum is about i dont think people buy because of the size of the payload.

Fpv f6 has a payload of around 540kg where as the SSV has just oer 600kg. Not bad for independent suspension.

I have been in a VE commodore with the walkinshaw supercharger on it and f*ck me that was insane. It does not take much to tweak the holden ( or ford) to some amazing numbers.

I will state tho that the base falcon ute ( with the optional 1 tonne suspension uprade) does carry far more than the omega ute. So i agree with you there.

And it was VU when the ute first had independant rear.

i was once told by a cop that if they were in a high speed chase they would want to be in a Holden as the stick to the road so much better. If they wanted to have a bit of "fun" they would drive the falcon.

i think with cops you'll still get the same holden vs ford camps. I spoke to a few before I got my xr6t asking about their reliability (i figure cops will wreck them the fastest with KM and rough driving sometimes needed) and they all gave the ford the thumbs up. One had a VE and was spewing his BF xr6t got retired. Others will be holden fans through and through. And then you get the exceptions like the one that pulled over my mate to compare his 1J cressida to his own ;)

Yeah you're just an ignorant troll, I'm relaying what I have seen. I don't like Falcons OR Commodores so there is no bias from me, otherwise I'd be jumping up and down saying "Buy an R34" :)

So I'll stick with my labelling of you as a complete Fanboi....your Windsor comments sums that up.

Pointing fingers at people calling them idiots; in itself is an admission of your inability to reason or provide a civil argument, the ignorant always resort to put-downs when they're can't provide a decent reply.

Hang on, pin head, you're the one trying to write off my informed and reasoned opinion as being fanboi dribble.

I also love 350s and a Slant 6's with triple webers at full song gives me a boner, so now what am I? Don't get me started on a stroked L18 with twin 45's or a CBR600 with a fill Micron at 15,000RPM. Of course if I had the spare cash to build anything it might b a Datto 1600 with a warm 13b turbo.

So, now what fanboi am I?

Pal, you're the one trolling here. Bullshit anaecdotes that you use in vain to try and bolseter your opinion. There's nothing wrong with Fords, as much as you'd like to convice us oterwise, just as there is nothing wrong with Holdens. There are differences between the two, but either would not be a bad choice. I have a preference based on a number of reasons, but none of them are "LOL, Fords is shit, lol, cause they brake!"

Hang on, pin head...

Here we go again, another low-brow dig

ROFL, it appears there is ONLY one other thing you like to stroke other than an L18 and your massive ego....

exactly right, ute would handle like a bucket of shit on a track... :worship:

I've missed out on getting a Black 2008 fpv, It's the one i've been wanting for a while but the guy has decided not to sell it!! SHITE

So I'm now looking at a 2009-2010 model depending on price... we'll see how we go... Unless another 2008 model comes up... hmmm

should get some great deals from dealers now that Christmas is coming up right?? when do you guys reckon the best time to buy a car is??

    • Nah, that is hella wrong. If I do a simple linear between 150°C (0.407v) and 50°C (2.98v) I get the formula Temperature = -38.8651*voltage + 165.8181 It is perfectly correct at 50 and 150, but it is as much as 20° out in the region of 110°C, because the actual data is significantly non-linear there. It is no more than 4° out down at the lowest temperatures, but is is seriously shit almost everywhere. I cannot believe that the instruction is to do a 2 point linear fit. I would say the method I used previously would have to be better.
    • When I said "wiring diagram", I meant the car's wiring diagram. You need to understand how and when 12V appears on certain wires/terminals, when 0V is allowed to appear on certain wires/terminals (which is the difference between supply side switching, and earth side switching), for the way that the car is supposed to work without the immobiliser. Then you start looking for those voltages in the appropriate places at the appropriate times (ie, relay terminals, ECU terminals, fuel pump terminals, at different ignition switch positions, and at times such as "immediately after switching to ON" and "say, 5-10s after switching to ON". You will find that you are not getting what you need when and where you need it, and because you understand what you need and when, from working through the wiring diagram, you can then likely work out why you're not getting it. And that will lead you to the mess that has been made of the associated wires around the immobiliser. But seriously, there is no way that we will be able to find or lead you to the fault from here. You will have to do it at the car, because it will be something f**ked up, and there are a near infinite number of ways for it to be f**ked up. The wiring diagram will give you wire colours and pin numbers and so you can do continuity testing and voltage/time probing and start to work out what is right and what is wrong. I can only close my eyes and imagine a rat's nest of wiring under the dash. You can actually see and touch it.
    • So I found this: https://www.efihardware.com/temperature-sensor-voltage-calculator I didn't know what the pullup resistor is. So I thought if I used my table of known values I could estimate it by putting a value into the pullup resistor, and this should line up with the voltages I had measured. Eventually I got this table out of it by using 210ohms as the pullup resistor. 180C 0.232V - Predicted 175C 0.254V - Predicted 170C 0.278V - Predicted 165C 0.305V - Predicted 160C 0.336V - Predicted 155C 0.369V - Predicted 150C 0.407V - Predicted 145C 0.448V - Predicted 140C 0.494V - Predicted 135C 0.545V - Predicted 130C 0.603V - Predicted 125C 0.668V - Predicted 120C 0.740V - Predicted 115C 0.817V - Predicted 110C 0.914V - Predicted 105C 1.023V - Predicted 100C 1.15V 90C 1.42V - Predicted 85C 1.59V 80C 1.74V 75C 1.94V 70C 2.10V 65C 2.33V 60C 2.56V 58C 2.68V 57C 2.70V 56C 2.74V 55C 2.78V 54C 2.80V 50C 2.98V 49C 3.06V 47C 3.18V 45C 3.23V 43C 3.36V 40C 3.51V 37C 3.67V 35C 3.75V 30C 4.00V As before, the formula in HPTuners is here: https://www.hptuners.com/documentation/files/VCM-Scanner/Content/vcm_scanner/defining_a_transform.htm?Highlight=defining a transform Specifically: In my case I used 50C and 150C, given the sensor is supposedly for that. Input 1 = 2.98V Output 1 = 50C Input 2 = 0.407V Output 2 = 150C (0.407-2.98) / (150-50) -2.573/100 = -0.02573 2.98/-0.02573 + 47.045 = 50 So the corresponding formula should be: (Input / -0.02573) + 47.045 = Output.   If someone can confirm my math it'd be great. Supposedly you can pick any two pairs of the data to make this formula.
    • Well this shows me the fuel pump relay is inside the base of the drivers A Pillar, and goes into the main power wire, and it connects to the ignition. The alarm is.... in the base of the drivers A Pillar. The issue is that I'm not getting 12v to the pump at ignition which tells me that relay isn't being triggered. AVS told me the immobiliser should be open until the ignition is active. So once ignition is active, the immobiliser relay should be telling that fuel pump relay to close which completes the circuit. But I'm not getting voltage at the relay in the rear triggered by the ECU, which leaves me back at the same assumption that that relay was never connected into the immobiliser. This is what I'm trying to verify, that my assumption is the most likely scenario and I'll go back to the alarm tech yet again that he needs to fix his work.      Here is the alarms wiring diagram, so my assumption is IM3A, IM3B, or both, aren't connected or improper. But this is all sealed up, with black wiring, and loomed
