TrailBlazer SS

128576.jpg

Silverado SS

6.0L LS2 Small Block V8

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

TrailBlazer SS redefines the “sport” in Sport Utility Vehicle with a Corvette-based 6.0L LS2 small block V8. It generates 395 horsepower and 400 lb.-ft. of torque, taking TrailBlazer from zero to 60 in under six seconds.

Both are AWD.

As most of ya'll know I'm from Texas and I'm kinda partial to these two choices. They fall within the price rage but shipping on converting from LHD to RHD is about another 25K.

Four wheel drives are for towing, off roading, enlarging egos and running over children in school carparks, and since I have no need for any of these functions I would feel I would just be wasting such a machine. :P

LOL

well I dont see too many GTR's towing a 20 foot boat...even if it is AWD...LOL

Honestly these arent 4WD in the sense of off road more like the AWD drive type cars.

The red S3 R33 GTR VSpec for sale here.

S8 RX7

EVO 6 or 7 if I could stretch it.

Latest model possible TT Supra

Typhoon if I could stretch it (again).

Latest model possible Monaro.

E36 M3.

Or a heap of different older car options and a daily: Mustangs, RX3, R100, RX2 Coupe, Monaro, most likely Cosmo 110... Dodge Challenger... a heap of old Chryslers etc etc etc. :happy: I have no shortage of ideas which is probably why I have had so many different cars since having my licence 5 years ago. :happy:

So many nice cars to pick from. I'm still trying to decided what I want.

looking for a R33 GTS4 4door anyone seen one of those?

don't think there were any 4door r33 gts4's made.....? but i've got a pretty clean 2door gts4 forsale if your interested? :D:no:

hmm 35grand i'd either get a wrx sti, an evo3 and spend the rest on it, r33 GTR, FD rx7 or a VY/VZ SS ute lowered on its guts with 20" rims ;)

Oh yeah what color and is it auto?

Evo VII or VIII for sure. Only a few years old too..

My prediction is that Evos will become the new Skylines (as in their popularity)

The 9 is already popular due to it being a fullblown import by Mitsubishi Australia and I see more 6s and 7s around due to the recent import laws allowing them in.

6s and 7s are now affordable ($25-$35k) for many young people just starting off their careers. Add to this they are fairly new, highly moddable, faster than any Skyline GTS-T/GT-T and have decent looks.

Within a few years the used 9s will come on the market, saturating the used/imported Evo market even further. Add to this, Mitsubishi seeing the popularity of the 9, will also import the 10.

    • 49719 is the cooler loop. Right at the front, LHS of that diagram. Return line from rack (LP side) goes to cooler loop on RHS front of car, then back under engine and returns to bottom of tank. 49717M is feed from tank to pump. HP line out of pump is thick rubber, followed by the hard line that runs down to crossmember and runs in parallel (but opposite flow direction) to the LP return line. Nothing goes anywhere near the firewall or interior of car. The closest they get to that is the connections on the rack.
    • Thanks, plan is to drain all fluid tomorrow and do smoke test to find out the leak.   Appreciate your help and want to understand how the system work. So cooling is achieved by the long loop not any rad? The diagram seems to suggest it connects to somewhere inside the cabin and I thought that is a cooler inside firewall. If you look at the diagram it seems to show it connects to something inside firewall. I tried chasing it but not easy unless I take loads off   i am confident pump is good as fluid goes in and it gets soft( steering) but as soon as I turn engine off , loads of bubble come to surface and overflow. When engine is on , fluid level is below minimum but when off it shoots off and thinking it is sucking air in. I suspect aluminium pipe may have a crack line or whole   smoke test with no fluid should be a good start and if needed will remove the pump   In addition, the one going under the engine bay is high pressure line and one directly connecting from pump to resorvoir is return/ low pressure?   finally I searched and suggestion is to use dexron 2 but that is discontinued so bought dexron 3 as all research suggest it is compatible and shouldn’t cause any issues/ blow seals. I bought two liter of dexron 3 motul atf
    • Don't worry about. Just don't try to drive hard enough to make boost and you'll be fine.
    • Yes. This has already been said. It is a loop of hardline in front of the radiator. Because.... the pump is on the LHS and the steering rack hydraulic connections are where they always are on a RHD steering rack....on the RHS. The high pressure line goes down under the engine, along the crossmember, like it does on all Skylines. Don't just throw expensive braided hoses/other kits at it. Work out what is wrong and fix that.
    • Still got the afm on the intake, clamps are shut tight, only loose hose is the one that goes from the j pipe towards the IACV, since it's next to impossible to find a factory hose and the barbs are different sizes (I'm still using clamps on this hose to try and help it seal on the iacv side) I've ordered parts to make up the hotside of the intercooler pipes, I'll plumb it in and see what happens in a few days I suppose The turbo's internally gated, can I just unscrew the tension rod to let the gate open?
