The HSV versions fair bit heavier due to the V8 engine.. and each new version gets heavier. I think the latest VY, etc are around 1700kg for the 300kw HSV GTS.

reading through this document about what defines a "classic HSV" .. bit of a laugh:

THIS IS WHAT IS NOT OK.

The following modifications have been deemed as unacceptable by HSV. This

protects your investment in an HSV Classic.

* A different size of tyre than original.

* Non-original wheels, including the ÒspareÓ.

* Engine modifications - including a wide variety of peculiar enhancement "chips ", throttle bodies, camshafts, extractors and the like.

e.g. anything that makes it perform better than the often rather toned down factory tune :)

there was option with it to get a blueprinted engine and that added a extra 10-15kw on top of the 215kw.
LOL I wonder how many extra thousand it cost to get that 10-15kw when all you gotta do is put in a $100 air filter :wavey:

    • Despite the level up question, actually I do know what that is....it is a pressure sender wire.  So check out around the oil filter for an oil pressure sender, or maybe fuel pressure near the filter or on the engine. Possibly but less likely coolant pressure sensor because they tend to be combined temp/pressure senders if you have one. Could also be brake pressure (in a brake line somewhere pre ABS) but maybe I'm the only one that has that on a skyline.
    • Pull codes via the self-diagnosis procedure. As far as I can tell this is just a sign of transmission issues but not a code unto itself.
    • Hi All, putting the engine back together and everything is perfect except have this plug left over.. any ideas what it is for and where it goes? Is on cold side under the intake plenum *note not a stock plug, as everything has been modified Cheers
    • Sounds like a misfire. Check fuel pressure and don't even think about going into boost while it's like this unless you enjoy engine rebuilds.
