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:

    • Man, I hope this one gets finished  i just randomly remembered it the other day and thought I’d check in. 
    • Started sifting thru my brakes to decide which ones I will run on Clem   Made me think I should just put them all on Silver...for when brake fade just isn't an option   Should be able to bump rotor up from 343x32 to 348x36 off Supra. Not sure if the Supra annulus is right for the Alcons or APs but trying g to find a used Supra\M4 rotor to test fit The Alcons seem to gain 1-2mm clearance which all helps  
    • So car is getting a few mods to the cage and some jacking points welded in Meantime Ol Silver gets a new gearbox and shiny clutch.  Old Box is being set aside for Clem  
    • Probably speedometer itself if the odometer is ticking. If the needle is stuck from a bit of grease or something that can cause it to stay at 0. Or a cracked solder joint in the speedometer can do it too.
    • Thanks Fella’s   to take this off topic and to elaborate a bit more. I have an rb25/30 going into a r32 GTST.. expected to make around 600-700hp. Would you?   A) R34 GTT box   B) CD00#?  I’ve seen a few posts about the CD swap and sounds fairly involved with making it fit etc but if it’s worth the work then I’ll go that way
