2 door is good excuse to watch dem struggle in mini-skirts.

and 2 door is harder to escape while car is moving, you know incase they do a runner.

Good thinking

Keep in mind that Leigh's engine came with a factory 335 flywheel kw and the current HSVs have 325 in stock form. If Holden put out a blown V8 it'll be above the FPV power figure cause that's what those two companies do.

In the end what's gonna matter is displacement and power handling potential...if they use LS9, it's a supercharged 6.2L engine > supercharged 5 litre. Coyote is a great engine, but there's nothing particularly trick about it...all supercharged engines respond well to pulley upgrades and tunes.

It would be interesting to see the price though; if they spread across the range or save it for the GTS.

Gee fair whack on your first outlap.

Looked really slippery? Oil spill there previously?

Aaron. We barely half way through. If u come now. Still tonnes of food!<br /><br />And there is no guinnea cops now!!!!<br /><br />Good wine hurr too. <br /><br />We just doing stuff bit by bit.

Come past one night brahz! Take me for a spin uleh

Pretty sure HSV stated it won't be the LS9, and if it were yeah they're awesome but expect to pay 100k+ for the car lol

Also the ford modular engine is complex, much more than the pushrod single cam chevvy 6.2lts, I'm talking n/a vs n/a here 5lt vs 6.2 and 6.4 ftw

The 5.0 L (4951 cc, 302 cid)[12] "Coyote" V8 is the latest evolution of the Modular engine.[13] Ford engineers needed to design a V8, specifically for the Mustang GT, that would compete with the GM 6.2L LS3 used in the new Chevrolet Camaro, and the new Chrysler 6.4L Hemi ESF in the Charger and Challenger.

ford and holden both have to keep each-other in check with stock power figures, also the supercar scare shit will return if they go nuts.

Ls9 has displacement and that is all and with 1.2L still isn't as efficient uses more fuel and needs more mods to be on par with a 5.0 on same boost levels.

power handling potential? on stock blower 5.0 coyote many people have made 480-510rwkw stock engine zorst pulley intercooler tune e85 intake.

ls9 will need heads cam, zorst intake pulleys e85 larger heat ex-changer(internal plenum cooler and external radiator)

keep in mind here the 5.0 coyote has a 1.9l blower and the ls9 has a 2.3l

imo stupid debate anyway, FKN v8 MATE

@ hamish, does the sous vide in the esky hold 59 degrees for the entire hour? or is there a temperature drop?

I'd normally prefer to sear after i sv though. so i'd be concerned about temp drop when i put in the meat.

my esky drops approx .5 - 1 deg per hour so not really...

you can sear afterwards, works the same, as you are not putting enough cold meat in to drop the temp of all that water.

I have done both ways, however sealing first works better for sous vide as the flavour of the searing penetrates the meat.

even in professional kitchens with propper vaccuum sealers and circulators I seal the meat first

    • You just need to remove the compressor housing, not the entire turbo. I would not be drilling and tapping anything with the housing still on anyways. 
    • So, I put my boat on a boat. First of all, I'm going to come out and say it. Why is Tasmania not considered a holy goal, an apex that all road-legal modified cars go to, to experience? This place is an absolute wonderland of titanic proportions. If people are already getting club runs for once in a lifetime 30 person cruises to Tassy then I've never seemed to see it. It is like someone replaced the entire place with an idyllic wonderland for cars, and all of the people living there with paid actors who are kind, humble, and friendly. Dear god. After doing a lap of almost all of the place I've found that it's a great way to find out all of the little things that the car isn't doing quite right and a great way to figure it all out. All in all, I drove for 4 hours a day for a week and nothing broke. I didn't even need to open the engine bay. This is by all means a great success, but it has left me with a list of things to potentially address. I also now have a 3D printed wheel fitment tool which annoyingly hasn't got any threads in it to actually assemble it. I might be able to tape it together to check the sizing I actually want to use, but it'll likely involving pulling the shocks out to properly measure travel at least at the front, and probably raise the car while I'm at it, at least in the rear. I scraped on quite a few things and I'm not sure how else to go about it. I was taking anything with a bump at what felt like 89 degree angles. And address those 10 other tasks. And wash the car. God damn it is dirty. And somehow, the weather was perfect the entire time - And because I was on the top of Mt Wellington it turns out it was very much about to freeze up there. I did something I typically never do and took some photos up there in what must have been -10 and the foggy felt like suspended ice, rather than mere fog. If you own a car in Australia, you owe it to yourself to do it.
    • Damn that was hilarious, and a bit embarrassing for skylines in general 😂 vintage car life ey. That R33 really stomped. Pretty entertaining stuff
    • Hi, I have a r32 gtr transmission. Does any of you guys have an idea how much power it will hold with the billet center plate and stock gearset? At what power level and use did yours brake with or without billet plate? Thanks, Oystein Lovik
    • Saw this replica police car based on a Mitsubishi Starion XX parked next to a 'police box' (it's literally a box) in Hirohata, Himeji City in Hyogo prefecture the other day. It's owned by Morii-san who is a local Mitsubishi Starion enthusiast. According to a local radio station blog post, he always wanted to make a police car himself based on ones he saw in his favourite Manga comics.  As it's illegal to modify a car to look like a police car and drive on the road, Morii-san tried many times to get permission from Aboshi police station headquarters nearby. They refused initially by after they got tired of that they granted him permission. However, the car can only be displayed on private property and obviously can't be registered as long as the police livery is present. The car was completed at a cost of 1.5 million yen (US$ 10,000) in addition to the car cost. A location was chosen outside Hirohata Police box where the car can easily been seen from the street. Morii-san has two other Starion road cars, both widebody GSR-VRs.
