My suggestion - if you're doing it for potential profit, don't bother. I've already listed the Insignia on SEVS, and they will be released here as an Opel by the time you bring one back...if you just want it for your own enjoyment, then go for it, they're awesome cars.

Awesome, thanks Kristian. I would be bringing it back to use as a daily, not for sale.

there are so many other cars you can bring back for that price.......cheap fezzas, lotus carlton, cav gsi (that would cost about 2 grand but still awesome) any cossie, escort, saph, sierra. any jap import that youll buy for 1 tenth of the price off here.... although no doubt there will be some bullshit with them exporting an import lol

I actually saw an Insignia on the road yesterday, had Opel badging instead of Vauxhall.

Quick google revealed this

OPC (Opel) was introduced here recently. I.e. Opel Insignia OPC = Vaxhaull Insignia VXR.
Would cost a heap load more here of course.

      That looks good, but I think you're going to need much beefier side skirts now.

      new 1.5 LSD issues/concerns

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      I gotta pull you up on this. It's driving me crazy. A shutter is something that closes, like over a window or in a cmera. The word you want is shudder. That LSD is clearly f**ked. Take it to a diff shop and get it disassembled and examined by an expert. YOu might have plates welded together or something equally crazy.

      S1 rb25/s14 starting problem

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      Check the Nistune doco. There are a few assumptions being made here that might not be valid. I will list the things that occur to me: Base map. Base map for what? Base map for Z32? Then the cranking pulse width is probably wrong for an RB25. The extra 500cc of capacity might well be enough to prevent it from catching. Base map for RB25? I don't think you can load one of those into a Z32. You have to just make the settings correct for an RB25 in the Z32 base map. That is either K or the TIM to get the pulsewidth right. Loom. You bought a loom for an RB. And you plugged it into a Z32 ECU. Did you make sure that any iwre differences were swapped. From memory, there's at least a couple. And as per the others, I would suggest making sure that the fuel pressure is correct while cranking and that the injectors are actually flowing as expected. They really must come out and go on the bench, unless you do find that you have messed up as per above points. I would also suggest watching in Nistune to make sure that everything is reading correctly. That the correct binary flags are raised at the right time (like the crank signal), that there's no stupid values in K or TIM. That you have not got mismatched firmware for the ECU and/or a wrong image loaded.
