Glad to hear it Mark.

The low down grunt of the ute definately takes a lot of turbo drivers by surprise. Felt as quick as my old S15 when you took me for a spin.

BTW my "R" is now in the docks going through the customs crap.

Hope to have it ready by Xmas.

One of the only runs I've had with a Commadore was with a GTS 300kw one.

Rolling start from the bottom of 2nd gear, it was a close run - very close, but at the top of third I was pulling away JUST.

I must say that they sound GREAT, I'm not sure if it had a standard exhaust, but damn it sounded good.

At that stage I just had full exhaust, 12psi and pod with CAI.

I have no idea what 1/4 times I'd do - I'd say about a 15-16 sec pass due to my crappy reaction time !!! :bahaha: :bahaha:

And I have no idea what sort of rwkw I have, once I get a new ECU I'll do a dyno run :)

why? because everytime i go on a cruise with a bunch of commodore killers me and mates never see any of it happening. So either i cruise with the wrong crowd or maybe they just race slower commodores than mine.

Most cases i hear of commodores being beaten its because they're a dressed up 6cyl auto banger.. :D

eitherway its a good kill, and i am still curious as to his 1/4mile times.

for those are gonna go wrx hunting, waite 2 months so i can then bring it out any time rather than work around person we've lent ours too :D

Hicks ran mid 14s when I was at the wed night drags. He might have run a low 14? It wasn't a nice track prep and the commo's & HSV 300kw/255's most were in the mid/high 14's for that night. Couple of good ones (worked) got low 14's and there was one or two in high 13's. There was quite a good turn out of holdens and it gave a pretty fair comparison of performance (ie: everyone had to contend with the same crap track).

I don't think you can muck around with the 5.7s if you expect to beat them on the street. I've won against most of the different models, not lost yet. However there are some very fast ones on the street that will show a clean pair of heals to my dunger.

my dad just bought a VY SS last week or so.. gave him a run down tonkin hwy sunday and he got me by a car length or so at 160 odd km/h

i had it pinned to redline through all the gears whereas he only took it to 4k5 each time.

Summoner: they got much more grunt after that?

gunna have to ask him for a turbo or intercooler for xmas i think.

:D :D

Whats goin on with the track lately, My best time was 14.2.

I plan to get highish 13's this wednesday. Gonna chuck my stock rims on the back so I can do a bit of a burn out before hand.

One of the blokes I work with is gettin me some slicks. Shit yeah!

That wed they skimped on the VHT for sure. The factory time for the gtst r33 is 14.2, I'd say a factory claim like that translates to a high 14 or low 15 on a night like that at the plex.I pulled a better time than most of the Commo's there and that makes sense because I beat them on the street too.

Whilst on the subject - my mate just picked up his brand spanka VY Clubbie - HSV have done a good job in improving the suspension and handling...

I had a few runs with him yesterday and I had him to about 160 then he slowly started to creep on me (I only have exhaust & pod)

Ciao

    • 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.
