Maybe the guy thought he was taking the piss out of gtr owners.

On the note of wtf for holdens....i saw a vl commadore the other day and it had like a vx body kit on the damn thing. It was like vl from the lower kit up. Looked totally farked..

:P yep those 6cyl vts are a scary thing compared to a gtr geez every time ive been in a 6cyl vt absolutly crapped myself due to bein forced back in the seat so hard gtrs got nothin..... :P

no idea i just started laughing hard as but

Was it an actual GTR badge? A while back some car yard (jarvis ford?) were flogging off a ton of mock up style cars, ie tarted up lancers with full evo bodykits, falcons, and v6 commodores with bodykits they were calling 'GTR'.

VX there was a ghey GTR model this topic has been covered but ill see wot i can drag up later reember they did s 6cyl GTS-R model also if memory servers me right

gtg out for a bit will look later for pics

I hate to say it guy's but Holden have had the GTR badge for alot longer than Nissan. In the late 60's early 70's they had LC XU-1 GTR. (Torana). Was a great little car for it's day but not as good as Ford's mighty GT. I 2 have seen VT's getting around with GTR badge's on them. A Maroon one on South rd on Saturday, huge great big GTR sticka on the back window and I must say it did look stupid, With stock wheel and all.

the PGC10 skyline was badged a GT-R in the late 60s too.

i have seen plenty of commodores with factory GT-R stickers on the bootlid, but this one was using a skyline badge with the silver GT on top and the red R underneath.

to close to call but i recon nissan :blush:

Autobarn sells them.

Reminds me of a R33 I saw at night a long time ago and I asked him if it was a GTR. He was like "Yeah its a genuine GTR man" and he took off and i could hear the car was an auto. Riigghhtttt...

    • Reasonably hard, although I haven't run it with the new Endless setup yet. The old brakes were F50's on 335mm rotors and the car did a 1:40.6 at Phillip Island which is a reasonable time, I'm seeing high 600s on the temperature paint. A guy I know ran the Endless fluid at WTAC without issues and he was doing 1:33's I think (Evo) with a 355/332 setup. I don't get out to the track as much as I'd like but we put the car on the hoist and spanner check every bolt and re-paint mark everything, bleed the brakes, change the fuel, check the coolant system and re-bleed blah blah blah before every event. Motorsport is expensive, RB's are expensive so a couple of hours before an event is time well spent. It's also a net time saving because if you can keep your RB from self destructing it saves you time in the long term!
    • Welcome Alice......hope you have a bit more luck from here on! What was done in the build?  
    • Hello! I'm new here, I have an R33 GTST that is currently being finished up! Last year was pretty rough, blew two stock turbos so I decided to build the car. Has been down since November, but I get it back next weekend!
    • Hello, I believe my car was imported to America in the 2000s by Kaizo Industries. Would anyone be able to help me find more info on them? I've only found all the basic stuff like that paul walker bnr34, them being shutdown by feds, just stuff like that. Any help would be much appreciated, thanks!
    • I am using Motec M150.  I am not working on the car myself actually.  My workshop is giving all these info, they are quite reputable in the industry and are very familiar with Motec and RBs and have done a few big setups with VCam and single turbo on RBs.  In fact, they built and tuned my engine from day one.  But they are stumped with my engine at the moment and cannot work out how come the compression is so low with the VCam. They told me that they have now swapped in some Kelford cams (without the VCam) and can achieve around 130psi compression and the low end torque is better, but now the engine is doughy as.  It boosts and peaks at more than 1000rpm slower, with twin HKS GTIII RS, it doesn't get full boost until over 5000rpm. I have always thought the VCam was a bit disappointing at the low rpm. To a point I had to ride the clutch a fair bit to get up a small hill from stand still.  That was when I had a clutch.  Now changing to a 8HP, I don't have that luxury and this problem has become a major issue. I am beginning to think the VCam never work since the day it was installed.  Maybe it was just sitting at the most advanced point, that is why it went good at top end but very ordinary at the bottom.  Therefore, with the help of the Holinger 6 speed and paddle shift, as long as it was moving, it drove pretty good.
