TrailBlazer SS

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.

    • You Gregged a whole racetrack!?
    • Look for broken wire or bad connector at the motor. Might not be it, but is worth starting there, as it is easy.
    • Hi everyone, I’m having an issue with my R32 GT-R. Sometimes, when the car goes over a bump or experiences some vibration, the 4WD warning light comes on the dashboard. When I check the code from the control unit in the trunk, it shows Code 19 – ETS Motor. However, everything seems to be working fine — if I turn off the engine and restart the car, the light goes away and everything functions normally. Has anyone experienced this before? Where should I start troubleshooting this issue? Thanks in advance!
    • I'm back from the dyno - again! I went looking for someone who knew LS's and had a roller dyno, to see how it shaped up compared to everything else and confirm the powerband really is peaking where Mr Mamo says it should. TLDR: The dyno result I got this time definitely had the shape of how it feels on the road and finally 'makes sense'. Also we had a bit more time to play with timing on the dyno, it turns out the common practice in LS is to lower the timing around peak torque and restore it to max after. So given a car was on the dyno and mostly dialled in already, it was time for tweaking. Luis at APS is definitely knowledgable when it came to this and had overlays ready to go and was happy to share. If you map out your cylinder airmass you start seeing graphs that look a LOT like the engine's torque curve. The good thing also is if you map out your timing curve when you're avoiding knock... this curve very much looks like the inverse of the airmass curve. The result? Well it's another 10.7kw/14hp kw from where I drove it in at. Pretty much everywhere, too. As to how much this car actually makes in Hub Dyno numbers, American Dyno numbers, or Mainline dyno numbers, I say I don't know and it's gone up ~25kw since I started tinkering lol. It IS interesting how the shorter ratio gears I have aren't scaled right on this dyno - 6840RPM is 199KMH, not 175KMH. I have also seen other printouts here with cars with less mods at much higher "kmh" for their RPM due Commodores having 3.45's or longer (!) rear diff ratios maxing out 4th gear which is the 1:1 gear on the T56. Does this matter? No, not really. The real answer is go to the strip and see what it traps, but: I guess I should have gone last Sunday...
