your worried about a commodore that crashed after trying to show off to a skyline? he was probably yelling shit out the window and not watching where he was driving :rolleyes:

no offence to any commodore drivers of course, but with the general attitude of some of them towards me on the road I wont lose any sleep tonight over it :)

or he could have been just trying to happily cruise along with the rest of you, accidentally drop his ciggie on his leg and burn it, take his eye's off the road and write off his pride and joy which he's spent all his time and effort on. People who drive commodores are no different to us, they're car enthusiasts as well.

If he was a car enthusiast, he wouldn't be smoking in his pride and joy :P

I know what your saying but I was on the highway at the same time and I know what he was doing....

Amen to that :cheers:

More likely some Skyline driver was next to him going VROOM *ptscht* and the Commo driver looked over and missed the 100kph to 0kph lockups that happen so frequently and took the option of bailing out to the side instead of arsing some other poor pricks car.

hmm no thats not what happend...but maybe some other time it is. I dont think its appropriate to exactly explain what happend but it was the m1, late on a saturday night and there were alot of cars out doing things other than driving normally....the commo was doing something to perhaps entice the skyline...then proceeded to do something other than drive safely, he lost controll and thats what happend...bad luck, i think thats the end of it.

I have had "some" experience with the M1 Fun Club Matt :cheers:

not saying you havent, just trying to state what happend...without using to much detail, i think its obvious what happend and I cant say I feel sorry for him. If I crashed from doing the same thing then I wouldnt expect anyone to feel sorry for me. Its his own stupidity..bad luck, typical it was a commodore...if it was a skyline we would have seen a 7 o'clock special on the news

So why is it some big secret as to what he/she was actually doing at the time?. It's not like it is classified information. Or is it?

because we're not allowed to talk about it on the forums as what he was doing illegal, i think you know what happend though...its nto to hard to figure out lol :(

But the person who did it does not belong to SAU Qld nor is the owner of this forum legally responsible for what some tosser does on the road.

So there is no reason why you can't tell, if anything it is educational as it explains what not to do.

    • Yes to both! Yes to standard ECU and tune, but exhaust is aftermarket. Unsure on brand. Actually have it sitting in at my desk haha! I have to set it up on my laptop but this is a great next step, will do. So I generally try to shift before 4.5K RPM most times. I largely don't do a lot of high-rev driving, but I will take it up to red 1-2x a week max, as I know the occasional "Italian tune-up" is good for these cars.  Oh wow, is this way better than what I'm getting. Does this mean there's a good chance I have an issue?   Thanks for all the info so far guys.
    • Old Son, did you re-use the Holden ABS in the new shell or try a different module?
    • Yeah, nah. I had the actuator rod off it today. The arm will not move at all. Neither out, nor in. Yeah, you'd think so, but I've been thinking about that. Even when the actuator rod fell all the way off at the beginning of this saga, it would build more boost and faster in lower gears than it would in higher gears, and you'd think that that was the opposite of what should happen. But I strongly suspect that there is a thing with the gearing getting the revs to rise faster, that there must be some transient effect with the gas flow rate rising quickly, that you don't get with the more steady state case of the higher gears. Keep in mind - the gate is not shut in either of my weirdnesses. So things are not "normal". We normally think about a turbo spooling up (below the wastegate target) with the gate shut. I have all sorts of mental models running now where the gate is a little bit open, and having it stuck open allowing gas out while it should be going through the turbine has all sorts of weird effects (in these mental models). I'm thinking in the higher gears, the ex mani pressure builds to the point where enough gases spill out the wastegate to just prevent the pressure rising much more at all, or just creeping up, all the whole the revs are increasing and getting closer to the point where a gear shift becomes necessary.
    • Is it possibly wastegate actuator itself is sticking, or even the rod to flapper? Otherwise I reckon things are getting a bit rusty/worn   Also odd it won't boost in 3rd to 5th, but will in 1st, I'd expect the other way around with it slightly open as there's more time on your way to redline for it to spin up
    • Does anyone know ow what these two plugs are for and if they should be unplugged? Just put the dash back together and can't remember if these were plugged in before or unplugged! (Blue and white plugs) 🤦🏽‍♂️
