What's the point in the bulge though?

The bulge goes back to the oldschool SS's where the engine didn't actually FIT in the engine bay

Edit: It's either purely for looks (Surely the OEM bonnet wouldn't overheat the engine, so it requires a vent for cooling) , or it is to accomodate a Walkie Top mount supercharger kit or some crap like that...

Edit 2:

WALKINSHAW PERFORMANCE POWER HOOD SCOOP SWB

The Performance "Power Hood" Scoop has been designed in the heritage of the original Walkinshaw Commodore from 1988. The Hood Scoop is the perfect sports accessory for the new VE range.Very aggressive appearance.

Looks like it is mainly visual only...

I don't mind the E2 Intake Scoop though...

My point exactly... They did it for the looks rather then the function.

You laugh now, but when I'm at a formal occasion with a shitty DJ and they need someone to drop Dre beats...I have something up my sleeve.

I call BS on that... I've got wheels because they're forged and wider, and gtr front bar for better FMIC Air Flow...

Stock exterior on a rocket is the name of the game these days...

So your bonnet is all wank and just for looks I guess.

At least it came factory.

i'm pretty sure the 2 large vents do a fair bit, its the 3rd one that is for looks lol

Hey guys,

What exactly are these little cameras on top of traffic lights etc for?

Sitting on top of the traffic light closest to Erwin Real Estate... And another one on the other side of the crossing in the middle of the road...

Traffic monitoring cameras.

Ahhhhh, these ones?

http://www.vicroads....fficCameras.htm

Just seems weird they they're aimed down at the crossing instead of along the road where they can see more of what's going on, or how much it's banked up...

Most probably... Must be monitoring the centre of the intersection...

You'd figure the camera has a wide angle lens...

I thought they more for pedestrian traffic. Like if someone old is still hobbling along the crossing so it doesn't turn green for cars?

I'm not talking just about skylines, but take a drive down chapel, prinny etc the vast majority of cars are modified for visual purposes as opposed to function. Ie all the commos towing invisible caravans?

slammed wrx's, skylines etc

      Does it also misfire equally when revving?   Josh is very correct in what you should do. The coilpack harness wiring loom itself is a known problem due to its age and the number of heat cycles it has gone through. Throwing parts at a vehicle to diagnose the issue isn't a smart or good way to do it. Secondly, you may have a bad coil pack, you pop replacements in, they fix that issue, but messing with the harness breaks it, so the issue persists. So now you think "well it wasn't the coil packs" and have to continue chasing your tail, potentially swapping back in your shit coil packs and returning the good ones (yes, I've seen people do this because 'it wasn't the problem' and they want to save money). And suddenly, you've got two issues with the same symptoms...   Diagnose, don't use the spare parts shotgun.

      Well the articals keep saying a Q50s (Skyline in Japan) with a new Manual gearbox. I like the talk about the new looks with the round tail lights. I hope they bring back the retro look like they did with the Z

      Wanna rewrite all of that in, say, 2 or 3 separate sentences, so that we can read it?
