gen 3 v8 = piece of shit

and yes i own one for 3 years and had to get new motor under warrent

oil burning piece of shit

and the one thing that give the clubsport the remotest chance of coming close is the japanise gentlemen agreement if the gtr had been limited to 208kw (like all the awesome car from japan) the commodore would not be on the same paper, why do i say this because there is no car i know of in the world that can be so easily tune for hp as the rb26 per dollar spent on it and has the suspension package std to handle it

the gtr was never designed to be 208kw(more like about 350kw in my opinion)

ie my gtr $40,000

plus ~$8,000 to $10,000 mods

=529.4rwhp 11.3sec(at 480rwhp)

find me a commodore with 400kw at the wheels with brembo brake that can be happily driven every day to work for $50,000

GOOD LUCK

yeah anyway...can we just forget about all the Skyline vs Holden crap and just get back to the topic??

if you read the thread, someone posted that he was a 23 yr old in his own car, doing 160 being followed by a cop in an SS. Someone in front of him turned and that's when he launched into the dealership..

He's lucky he didn't kill the ppl who turned, or even someone who was looking at the cars in the dealership :Oops:

It really makes me laugh how much trouble these falcadore knuckledraggers go to in an effort to prove that their brand new low km, $70,000 dollar, car is fractionally better than someone elses $35,000 dollar car with 100,000km on the clock.

HELLO? So it bl00dy well should be!! But by a hell of a lot more than fractions of a second over a quarter mile.

If you want to know the best bang for buck car around have a look at getting hold of a sub-$10k VR4, spending about $5k on it and run deep into the twelves.

Personally I think holdens are POS and fords are not much better. 230kw from a XR6T? 4 litres with a GT40 on it blowing 6PSI?!?!? It should be making lots more boost and 400kw.

If they wanted to strangle it down to 300hp why didn't they put a GT28 on it and have it spool just off idle? How responsive would that be?!

W@nkers the lot of them.

Firstly am I ignorant, or are you afraid of the truth?  :rolleyes:  

Let's talk top of the range. HSV is Holden's top of the range vehicle. GTR is Nissan's top of the range vehicle. Stock on Stock any GTR will beat any HSV. That's a fact.

I'd have to go for a) Ignorant.

A stock GTR is SLOW. It needs about $5000 worth of mods to make it what it should have been from factory.

Any stock HSV will beat any stock R32/R33 GTR. Stock R34 GTRs which are grossly underrated, would give them a run for their money. A GTR isn't the be-all and end-all of cars. They need to be modded to be fast. By today's standards, they're slow when they're stock.

It's this kind of attitude that gives Skyline owners a "wanker" and "ricer" title.... and deservedly so.

And who wants to get '89 GTR? :P Kidding. Skylines are getting cheaper. Cheap fast cars attract all sorts of people.

I don't want an '89 GTR. I said I'm looking for an R32 GTR. See? People automatically assume that it has to be an '89 model. I blame the 15 year old rule :)

95% of the '89 GTRs I've looked at, are pieces of sh1t. Finding a good one is like trying to find a vegan in an abattoir, operating the nail gun.

I would have been more than happy paying more for an R32 GTR before the market became saturated with these GTRs that would never have passed regular compliance procedures. GTR ownership should never have fallen to a $17,000 entry fee. It's ridiculous.

That's why I said kidding. I reckon it's more to do with popularity of R33 importing. There are a lot of them and they are affordable. As to '89 GTR's - most of them would end up for sale within a year because people did not understand how expensive to maintain they can get. Besides, 15 year old rule is almost over now.

      Duncan's V37.......race car?

      By MBS206 · Posted

      Even more fun, leave all the ADAS stuff plugged in, but in different locations, hopefully avoid any codes!   And honestly, all these new cars with their weird electronics. Pull all the electronics out Duncan, and just shove an aftermarket ECU and if needed a trans controller in, along with a PDM. Make it run basic but race car styled!

      To follow up a question from earlier too since I had the front bar off again (fking!) This is what is between the bumper and the drivers side wheel And this is the navigator side, only one thing but its a biggy! So basically....no putting coolers in the wheel arches without a lot of moving other stuff. Assuming I move to properly race prepping this car I'll take that job on and see how the computers respond to removing a whole bunch of ADAS modules

      Duncan's V37.......race car?

      By Duncan · Posted

      So I prepped the car for another track day on Wednesday (will be interesting to see coolant temps post flushing out and the larger reservoir, with a forecast of 3-14 being 20o cooler than last time I took it out). Couple of things to mention; since I am just driving the car and not taking a support vehicle, I took the rear seats out and just loaded the back up Team Trackday style. Look at all that space! To cover off removing the rear seat....it is weird (note the hybrid is probably different because it wouldn't have folding rear seats) Basically, you remove the lower seat base, very similar to a r series but it is a clip that pulls forward to release the base rather than it being bolted down. Easy Then, you need to remove the side section of the rear seat on each side. There is a 14mm head nut at the bottom of the side piece, the it slides upwards off a hook at the top to release; you also need to unhook the seatbelt from the loop at the top. Then the centre piece is weird. You need to release/fold the seats forward with the tab in the boot on each side From there, there are 2,x12mm headed bolts holding the rear of each seat to the folding bracket, under the trim between the rear seat and the boot (4x christmas tree clips there, they suck). The seat is out but you can see where the bolts attach to the bracket

      As discussed in the previous post, the bushes in the 110 needed replacing. I took this opportunity to replace the castor bushes, the front lower control arm, lower the car and get the alignment dialled in with new tyres. I took it down to Alignment Motorsports on the GC to get this work done and also get more out of the Shockworks as I felt like I wasn't getting the full use out of them.  To cut a very long story short, it ended up being the case the passenger side castor arm wouldn't accept the brand new bush as the sleeve had worn badly enough to the point you could push the new bush in by hand and completely through. Trying a pair of TRD bushes didn't fix the issue either (I had originally gone with Hardrace bushes). We needed to urgently source another castor arm, and thankfully this was sourced and the guys at the shop worked on my car until 7pm on a Saturday to get everything done. The car rides a lot nicer now with the suspension dialled in properly. Lowered the car a little as well to suit the lower profile front tyres, and just bring the car down generally. Eternally thankful for the guys down at the shop to get the car sorted, we both pulled big favours from our contacts to get it done on the Saturday.  Also plugged in the new Stedi foglights into the S15, and even from a quick test in the garage I'm keen to see how they look out on the road. I had some concerns about the length of the LED body and whether it'd fit in the foglight housing but it's fine.  I've got a small window coming up next month where I'll likely get a little paint work done on the 110 to remove the rear wing, add a boot wing and roof wing, get the side skirt fixed up and colour match the little panel on the tail lights so that I can install some badges that I've kept in storage. I'm also tempted to put in a new pair of headlights on the 110.  Until then, here's some more pictures from Easter this year.

      R32 GTS (RB20DE) Injectors Replacement

      I would put a fuel pressure gauge between the filter and the fuel rail, see if it's maintaining good fuel pressure at idle going up to the point when it stalls. Do you see any strange behavior in commanded fuel leading up to the point when it stalls? You might have to start going through the service manual and doing a long list of sensor tests if it's not the fuel system for whatever reason.
