They are THE ones to go to for Whipples.

They would have to be the most professional team in the Commodore business.

Peter Starr is the consumate professional.

Aaaahh, OK... Just spoke to star, thanks Bass.

G & D is the owner of the Monaro, who is an ex employee of starr. Star are the Whipple distributors for Australia/Victoria... Going to see star this avo!

Thaks Again Bass, saved me a drive from Tulla - Cranbourne :rofl:

You got it, Matt used to work for Starr, but then went accross to G & D and finished off the Monaro Project. G & D have now set up the car for the 1/4. It still uses the 6 speed and is currently the fastest LS1 in Australia.

Yeah it was stolen after a dyno comp for the Ford v's Holden show last year in Perth. I guess they knew which workshop it was being garaged at. No they never got it back.

This is his second yellow monaro and its built even quicker than the first one.

Well Thanks for the help guys, I went and met up with Peter at Starr Performance. Had a chat about slapping on 2 Whipple Superchargers to the Mercury Motors, and just waiting for Mr Whipple from the US to work out a few things for us. Whilst I was there Peter took me out for a burl in (~I think his wifes car) those new Holden Station wagons with 4WD, this has a V8 with a Whipple supercharger, I must say thing went OK, but it's hard to impress me when you compare it the GTR, but I still reckon the E55 goes harder. What impressed me the most was the sound, it was awesome, I mean the Supercharger on the E55 is slighty audible but nothing like the Whipple, it was like having to little kids under the bonnet and as soon as you boot it, they screamed loud and hard... "Imagine having two of those on the boat??" he said. I couldn't get the smile of my face.

    • I am yet to see anyone ever regret a quaife or helical. ...other than drifting/skidpan duties. I kind of want to upgrade my factory helical with a Quaife (but really it's not ultimately that different, and is a MASSIVE UNDERTAKING), that's how good the hype is about them, that I want to try them 'just to see'  
    • D2 and Ksport are essentially the same thing and basically just generic Taiwanese manufacture. Better than ChinaBay crap, but... not top shelf. Öhlins have got to be some of the best dampers around, so likely to be a good option. It's going to get to the point though where I suggest you buy from Oz. We have at least 2x excellent options here. If I were you though, I'd be talking to KW about doing something for the R33. There's bugger all difference between that and the 32. In GTR land, anyway.
    • KW only offers a set for the R32 GTR. Popular options are D2 racing, Ksport or Öhlins. I have a D2 Racing coilover set, though I don't know for sure which one.
    • Well, the good news is you have more than one very good option for new coilovers in and around your country. Worth the drive over to KW to talk about GTR stuff.
    • Fair enough, I am in no way a tire expert so I'm not familiar with all the terms and conditions. I'll definitely note down the AD09 to potentially try in the future. Rain is not too big of a concern for now as I will probably only drive in the rain when I have to. And considering I still lack experience driving the GTR I'd more than likely take it easy too. I have coilovers in the car but as I barely got to drive so far I never bothered to even check if they are adjustable haha. The suspension is almost entirely old and worn as well so I suppose when I eventually fix that in the future that would make a huge difference.
