:(  to the V6... all that power, bet ya dont know what to do with it all.. :lol:

:lol:

:)

haha its bloody frightning :lol:

its absolutely useless to be honest and even when sitting on the spot and pressing the brake fully and the throttle fully it just lifts the back end up abit and the auto gearbox says "no way" and it doesnt even attempt to spin a wheel (no lsd).

though i got into a local uni limestone carpark last sun morning at 4am with 5 people in it and it did some decent donuts, but without sandy surfaces it just wont do it hey :D

when i had the rb26 in the vl, i couldnt take off without spinning it, haha, and thats a 3.8L v6 compared to a 2.6L straight 6. go the v6 torque ;)

HAHAHA, thats some funny shit... it just goes to show how a small 2.6 L can SMASH big 3.8L motors!

when i first got the R32 I was a little scared, ONLY 2 L :(

BUT hey, my lill 2L can fight the big boys, :lol:

big desplacement is over rated... well in bogan cars anyhow! :)

hehehe,

bwahahahahha.

LoL.....that's a classic.

HAHAHHAHAHAHAH rofl :lol:

some people just aint seen or been in anything better thats what it is. their parents own commodores/falcons/etc and they have never even seen a skyline or import in person except flying past on the street. they have low expectations, people shit em selves in the stagea cause they just dont expect it from a baby 2.6L pulling 1800kg.

the ecotec is a beast compared to a vb commo 202 carby monster B)

my first car was a vl turbo rb30et and my good mates owned a few vk v8s and they thought 3L bah shit my 5L is the bomb, it cains the mighty vk 6's so the rb30 must not be much better, but i sure changed both their minds, they sold em and both bought vl turbos hehe, so i got the rb26 and they where even more surprised as they grow up hearing "no substitute for cubic inches" and they thought their 3L's would kill my 2.6L, but they soon learnt :D

Your arguments are quite stupid really. Your comparing Performance tuned engines to Family car tuned engines. Whoever said they cant spin the wheels in VS V6 is full of shit plain and simple.

Saying that "big desplacement is over rated" points out your stupidity even more. Look at the FPV Typhoon. They're not little engines i can tell you that, and the HSV's etc etc. How about the Ford GT40 - That has a 5.4L Engine. Or how about the Mercedes Mclaren SLR The fastest automatic car in the world boasts a 5.5L engine.

Hell even the nissan 350Z has a 3.5 Litre engine; now thats not small considering that Holdens Alloytechs are 3.6Litre.

Your arguments just bring forward that indeed you yourself, are just as bad as the bogans.

my vs wont spin, trust me ive tried it a billion times in hope, and when i first bought it, it would but it must be the gearbox.

displacement is FAR from overrated, especially if you like drivability

thats why i dislike RB20's :D

displacement along with technology is a fantastic combination, and beleive it or not the position of the cam has little to do with 'technology' to all you LS1 haters :( hahah

im just getting my 900cc kawasaki ZX9R registered now (from the auctions) and boy can you feel the difference when you twist the throttle compared to a 250-600cc bike... both have the same ammount of technology in the engine (all around 160HP per litre N/A out of the box) but there is a world of difference...

forced induction + capacity + technology... now yer talking B)

when you quote someone... you actualy have to quote EVERYTHING they said in that sentance otherwise its realy easy to take things out of context like you've done.................

i think anything about VP-VR onwards has been 'reverse engineered' if you like so that they wont spin so easily, as its generally NOT what you want from joe publics family cruiser...

an early VN (series 1) is a different story, with a very short first gear and very punchy low down torque delivery (and god awful vibrations and axe sharpening sounds) they would generally absolutely fry the tyres if you put it in D (yes automatic) and took your foot off the brake and stamped on the accellerator... it will just sit on the spot making smoke

Ahhh isnt it the bogans thinking skylines are shit...

think you've got it the wrong way around...

ABS doesnt help either

I understand that every car off the line is different, but every single VS commodore ive come across can do a burnout.

What i mean is that their channeled Anger towards Skylines etc is just as bad as your channeled anger towards commodores/Falcons

End Talking from me

i would love to have a couple more litres of capacity, don't get me wrong but commadores are shit house. probably dependable but shit house.

back to original topic - couple of months ago i was at the lights in my gtr and got yelled at by people in a commodore " oooooh 4 cylinders of power" (sarcastically if ya didnt get it) then they start laughing.

i couldnt beleive it, i just shook my head :D

i generally hate commodores and commodore drivers, it's a hate/hate relationship

    • Hello, sorry for being late to join the discussion, but my clock just died on me.   Ive tried to look at Michaels digital clock repair.docx and it doesnt work maybe the file has expired.   Please let me know if you can re upload it or take some youtube videos to show us how to get the clock installed? thanks
    • I thought that might be the case, thats what I'll start saving for. Thanks for the info 
    • Ps i found the below forum and it seems to be the same scenario Im dealing with. Going to check my ECU coolant temp wire tomorrow    From NICOclub forum: s1 RB25det flooding at start up Thu Apr 11, 2013 7:23 am I am completely lost on this. Car ran perfectly fine when I parked it at the end of the year. I took the engine out and painted the engine bay, and put a fuel cell with an inline walbro 255 instead of the in tank unit I had last year. After reinstalling everything, the engine floods when the fuel pump primes. if i pull the fuel pump fuse it'll start, and as soon as I put the fuse back in it starts running ridiculously rich. I checked the tps voltage, and its fine. Cleaned the maf as it had some dust from sitting on a shelf all winter, fuel pressure is correct while running, but wont fire until there is less than 5psi in the lines. The fuel lines are run correctly. I have found a few threads with the same problem but no actual explanation of what fixed it, the threads just ended. Any help would be appreciated. Rb25det s1 walbro255 fuel pump nismo fpr holset hx35 turbo fmic 3" exhaust freddy intake manifold q45tb q45 maf   Re: s1 RB25det flooding at start up Fri Apr 12, 2013 5:07 am No, I didn't. I found the problem though. There was a break in one of the ecu coolant temp sensor wires. Once it was repaired it fired right up with no problems. I would have never thought a non working coolant temp sensor would have caused such an issue.
    • Hi sorry late reply I didnt get a chance to take any pics (my mechanics on the other side of the city) but the plugs were fouled from being too rich. I noticed the MAF wasn't genuine, so I replaced it with a genuine green label unit. I also swapped in a different ignitor, but the issue remains. I've narrowed it down a bit now: - If I unplug and reconnect the fuel lines and install fresh spark plugs, the car starts right up and runs perfectly. Took it around the block with no issues - As soon as I shut it off and try to restart, it won't start again - Fuel pressure while cranking is steady around 40 psi, injectors have good spray, return line is clear, and the FPR vacuum is working. It just seems like it's getting flooded after the first start I unplugged coolant sensors to see if its related to ECU flooding but that didnt make a difference. Im thinking its related to this because this issue only started happening after fixing coolant leaks and replacing the bottom part of the stock manifolds coolant pipe. My mechanic took off the inlet to get to get to do these repairs. My mechanics actually just an old mate who's retired now so ill be taking it to a different mechanic who i know has exp with RBs to see if they find anything. If you have any ideas please send em lll give it a try. Ive tried other things like swapping the injectors, fuel rail, different fuel pressure regs, different ignitor, spark plugs, comp test and MAF but the same issue persists.
    • My return flow is custom and puts the return behind the reo, instead of at the bottom. All my core is in the air flow, rather than losing some of it up behind the reo. I realise that the core really acts more as a spiky heatsink than as a constant rate heat exchanger, and that therefore size is important.... but mine fits everything I needed and wanted without having to cut anything, and that's worth something too. And there won't be a hot patch of core up behind the reo after every hit, releasing heat back into the intake air.
