Good on you summoner,

Nice to see someones sticking up for the Aussie battler ute.

Try sticking a motorbike, or 4 wheels, or more than 1 bale of hay

in the back of a skyline! How about towing a boat?

I have a 2001 VU SS M6 235rwkw ute.Nothing like the sound of

a nice V8 winding through the gears. 260km/hr!!! Mate you must

have a hard top, 'cause anything over 220 & my tarp starts going

crazy on the rear window shelf.

Course Skylines are great (what else would I be doing on this forum) but remember what they were designed for.They are top level sports cars in Japan that only the very well off can afford.

The Holden is attainable new to the masses, & serves a large variety of different uses & needs.With wide, comfortable seats, plenty of room, & good useable torque they are excellent cars.

Ever notice how slow your Skyline is with 4 people in it?

Barely phases a V8 Holden. With 4 passengers my R34 really feels it.

BTW - just for fun I took my ute on a Skyline cruise a while back,

& managed to dust quite a few of them.

But, to be fair, I also took my R34 Vspec on a LS1 commodore cruise & dusted all of them. So what am I saying?? Hmm, not sure.

I suppose have both of them if you can.

:burnout:

My mate Brenton lives in Perth now.If he pulled up next to you in

his LC Torana, he'd dust all you all.( He pull 9.7!)

:lol:

Anyone who does not believe LS1 utes are fast should check out the latest issue of Perth Street car. The ute on the cover is running 10's at the 'Plex on the funny stuff.

THATS IMPRESSIVE in anybodys books.

I may not like the seadans and the rear end handling of the sedan and coupe but the ute is cool.

Yeah I've been caned by a couple of SS commies before. Also a 6cyl Falcon about 3 months ago, which I am still in shock over. It must have been turbo'd or something as it was an absolute thrashing. I was barely on boost by the time the Falcon was 3 or 4 lengths on me. That said, I've also beaten my fair share of V8s, mainly pre-VT2 commies, but a few LS1s.

Now why the hell am I posting in the WA forum...:confused:

    • From the factory on RB26s there's a fitting on the intake manifold collector/"plenum" that provides pre-throttle boost signal. That's how they did it back in the day, I figure it's fine to replicate it.
    • I would be surprised if that wasn't the issue. It's probably telling you, that even if you remove the plastic liner, you may have some other clearance issues that may occur too in some scenarios. IE, tyre to guard. It looks like someone has already rolled the lip, but you may still have issues in the future IE, turning and hitting a bump etc. The fact it changes how bad it makes the noise when you are going backward vs forward is highly indicative that it's the tyre rubbing. They do make a terrible sound, even if you're only pushing a project car that has a liner hanging down on a tyre!   Has the car been lowered? If it has been, what is the measurement from the centre of the wheel hub to the lip of the guard straight up?
    • Summernats cruiser?
    • Mark's a bit smarter than people give him credit... He'd convince the person that is to become dead, to drive him to the forest first. That way his car has no evidence in it, and he's free to dispose of their vehicle permanently how he sees fit too...
    • But if you had to go bury a body in the forest, would you not put that in the boot? Most of them are >=90kg these days.
