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:

    • That still isn't a lot to go on. I don't have a Y50 Fuga Head Unit wiring diagram. I can say that a lot of nissans of that age shared head unit plugs, so if you are in Australia something like this would probably help: https://aerpro.com/app091# You plug that into the car loom, then either plug the head unit ISO into that (if it has ISO), or you buy and ISO adapter harness that you wire in. Bit of stuffing around, but once you have ISO its easy to change things in future.
    • It is a kunfine Android screen . Does anyone know the wirering diagram of the fuga ??
    • just an update to this, poor man pays twice  Tried sanding down the pulleys but it didnt do the trick. Chucked another second hand alternator in the na car which I got for free off my mate and its fixed the squelling. Must have been unlucky with the bearings.    As for my turbo car, I managed to pick up a cwc rb alternator conversion bracket + LS alternator for 250 off marketplace, looked to be in really good nick. Installed it , started the car and its not charging the battery.... ( Im not good with auto elec stuff so im not sure if this was all I needed to do but I verified such by using a multimeter on the battery when the engine was running and I was only getting 12.2v )   I had to modify the earth strap for the new LS alternator , factory earth strap was a 10mm bolt which did not fit the bolt on the LS alternator which was double the size so I cut it off , went to repco bought some ring terminals that fit, crimped it onto the old earth strap and bolted it up to the alternator , started the car and same issue. Ran like shit and was reading 12.2 at the battery.  For a "plug and play" advertised kit thats not very plug and play but alas.  My question is , am I missing something ? Ive been reading that some people recommend upgrading the stock 80 amp alternator fuse to a 140 amp but I dont see how that would stop the alternator charging especially at idle not under load.  Regardless ive pulled it out and am going to get it bench tested by an auto elec tomorrow but it would be handy to know if ive missed something silly or have done something wrong.   
    • My wild guess is that you have popped off an intake pipe....check all of the hoses between the turbo and the throttle for splits or loose clamps.
    • Awesome, thanks for sharing!
