nuthn beats seeing the face of a new monaro 255 owner gettn chewed by a pretty stock r32 gts-t. been there, done that, and just to think.....theyve spent 70 odd grand on that cheaply build aussie shit car. and a note to all you bogans out there, PUSHRODS ARE DEAD!!

I agree with akeenan, if you are in front you have the right to end it! I always stop 10 to 20kms over da speedlimit. But yeah, it's so true how they always speed off into the distance! I always hit hazards if I win, but I might switch to indicators, it's less of an effort!

i thought the Gen III V8 only makes like 225kw... actually i'm pretty damn sure of that. It was nearly 30 kw's less than the 3.2L Straight six M3 .....hahahahha, nice one holden.

what a waste of.... litres and cyclinders and stuff...

My car has all the usual bolt-on mods including a bigger turbo, but not enough for 300rwkw! I'll get there eventually though. See my sig'. There's a few GTS25t's owners here with 300+rwkw.

Very nice! 13.1 in street trim is an awesome time! I am hoping for low 13s after my first round of mods.

Correct 225kw, but they are in fact detuned in stock form they produce 250kw in the US But Holden detuned them for our market. Mind you with just an exhaust and a rewrite of the software with LS1 edit and you are looking at 230rwkw. Not bad for $3k. Also I know of a new 225kw Holden ute that ran consistant 12.2 at EC with only exhaust, LS1 edit and a small cam.

Thanks mate. Yeah I've only ever run in street trim.

It should go a bit quicker again as I've done quite a bit of work & gained a few rwkw since that run.

Hope ya' nail low 13's mate.

I would not be so quick to put down an LS1 powered commodore, i own one a VX berlina( MY tow car) and a R33 GTST, unfortunately currently my LS1 is quicker than my skyline, commy runs a 13.3 with only exhaust , diff gears and tune. The Gtst runs a 13.8 with higher boost exhaust pod filters and chip. Now me and my brother have raced them and the berlina is a good 5 cars quicker from a standing start, of coarse we swapped drivers to make sure and again pulled the same, so what begain as my tow car for my boat has now started to pull funds away from the skyline mod account.

the ls1 is a mean motor. I know there are plenty of fairly slow stock commodores around sporting them, for instance the GTS monaro I hosed this morning on the freeway on ramp. But it doesn't take much to free up the power lurking beneath and there are some very good street weapons just waiting to show a gtst how mortal it is (even if it doesn't look very good doing it).

boys I am an import lover as much as the next. But you guy have got to watch out for the pushrod motor... they are very angry when they are derestricted. remember the quickest "street" cars in australia and america aren't powered by fuel injected, over head cam wizardry... top fuels?? no computers and technology... just top gun performance.... but just the same... I really really love my imports.... they can drive you around australia and then run 11's and that is awsome....

    • No, code 21 is very straightforward. It can only be the things described in that diagnostic flow. In fact it has no way of knowing that the spark plug resistance is out of spec.
    • Hi, SteveL Thank you very much for your reply, you seem to be the only person on the net who has come up with a definitive answer for which I am grateful. The "Leak" was more by way of wet bubbles when the pedal was depressed hard by a buddy while trying to gey a decent pedal when bleeding the system having fitted the rebuilt BM50 back in the car, which now makes perfect sense. A bit of a shame having just rebuilt my BM50, I did not touch the proportioning valve side of things, the BM50 was leaking from the primary piston seal and fluid was running down the the Brake booster hence the need to rebuild, I had never noticed any fluid leaking from that hole previously it only started when I refitted it to the car. The brake lines in the photo are "Kunifer" which is a Copper/Nickel alloy brake pipe, but are only the ones I use to bench bleed Master cylinders, they are perfectly legal to use on vehicles here in the UK, however the lines on the car are PVF coated steel. Thanks again for clearing this up for me, a purchase of a new BMC appears to be on the cards, I have been looking at various options in case my BM50 was not repairable and have looked at the HFM BM57 which I understand is manufactured in Australia.  
    • Well the install is officially done. Filled with fluid and bled it today, but didn't get a chance to take it on a test drive. I'll throw some final pics of the lines and whatnot but you can definitely install a DMAX rack in an R33 with pretty minor mods. I think the only other thing I had to do that isn't documented here is grind a bit of the larger banjo fitting to get it to clear since the banjos are grouped much tighter on the DMAX rack. Also the dust boots from a R33 do not fit either fyi, so if you end up doing this install for whatever reason you'll need to grab those too. One caveat with buying the S15 dust boots however is that the clamps are too small to fit on the R33 inner tie rod since they're much thicker so keep the old clamps around. The boots also twist a bit when adjusting toe but it's not a big deal. No issues or leaks so far, steering feels good and it looks like there's a bit more lock now than I had before. Getting an alignment on Saturday so I'll see how it feels then but seems like it'll be good to go
