holden have already stated they plan to implement 4wd across all their commodore lines , specifically the HSV/SS line . Its a marketing strategy nothing else , it will be sold on saftey and handling not performance . Next gen commodre vs falcon battle will be AWD just like this current one is VVT/power outputs plus it gives them more leverage vs mitsubishi (magna) and to some extent subaru .

yeah his point is brand new.. the falcon is shit.. wrx even thrashed is still a good little tiger.

Mashrock you need to pull your head out of your ass and stop being so narrow minded. i own a GTR and a falcon and i expect the new falcon XR6 T will be bigger in Australia then any nissan much like the VL turbos.

I think the furbo falcon are abit late, I'm looking forward to hybrid performance in the near future from japan.

front wheels electric rear wheels petrol, does away with an awd gearbox related problem and power transfer.

the vl turbo has/had a nissan engine, thats why there are still so many around.

if you love the xrt so much then go and sell 'your gtr' and buy yourself another ford.

or why not own both and stay open minded to all types and makes of performance cars instead of being narrow minded to one specific type and bag out all the rest?

He's right. More credit will be given to your post if you keep an open mind. WHT11 has both cars and is speaking from experience so he's in a position for people to take him seriously when he comments about them. Those who just knock other cars but skylines are skyline enthusiasts and not car enthusiasts. Try and look at the good things for both cars.

If you've owned/driven a XR6T before and say it's crap then at least I know you're saying it from experience.

    • They are under bucket shims. Tomei provides a test shim kit and then any measurement of shim required. 
    • I always wondered how you were supposed to buy a set of 24 buckets and somehow magically have every single one of them yield exactly the desired clearance. I would have thought you'd need to assemble a cam with either 12 "sample" or "example" buckets of known top thickness (or a single such sample/example 12 times over!!) measure clearances at every valve, and then do the usual math to work out what the actual "shimness" of each bucket needed to be, before buying the required buckets to make up he thicknesses that you didn't have on hand.
    • I now seem to be limited in power due to my rev limit/hydraulic lifters in my built RB25. I'm looking into converting over to Tomei solid lifters. Question for anyone that has done the conversion. I was always under the impression that when using the Tomei solid lifter conversion, you would also require new valves (Longer or shorter stems, I can't remember which).  I don't know where I got this idea, as so far I see no mention of this in any of the Tomei documentation. It just states I need the Tomei solid buckets, solid lifter cams and upgraded springs. As my head is already built, all I would need is another set of 1000$ Kelford cams, 500$ buckets and about 4H hours of my time installing and I'm off to the races!?!? There's no way it's that simple, I must be missing something? 
    • I couldn't agree more. I should have started from the get-go with a NEO or solid bucket conversion. I started looking into converting over to solid lifters yesterday. Now for some reason I was always under the impression that when using the Tomei solid lifter conversion, you would also require new valves (Longer or shorter stems, I can't remember which).  But I see no mention of this on any of the Tomei documentation.
