Ask yourself this... I know what my answer would be.

If you owned a Commodore V6, would you sell and upgrade to a SS or HSV?

If you owned a GTS-T, would you upgrade to a GT-R?

Me having owned a Commodore before, I can tell you from experience and I swore to myself... NEVER AGAIN...!

its funny how there pretecting there v8's .. its still funny seeing a 2.5L keeping up with a 5.7 / 6L and

You obviously havent been to the track and raced against a ss 6.0l have you.On the straight i was getting caught up to from behind,while in 2nd gear,then overtaken while changing to 3rd gear.they have allot of straight line tourque/power.Keep in mind i drive a gtst with 185rwkw.so not the slowest.It was getting slightly caught up to arround the corners though.but the exit power wasnt enuf from my line.

Though there was another gtst there that day in the form of a 32 which was on run down semis and was pretty close to race spec,bar forged internals,running a hks 2530 and it was slowly pulling away from the ss on the straights and it was better in the corners.

So yeah their straight line tourque is somthing to be reconed with..

gt autosounds ls1 TT drifter.What a weapon.

:blink:

Was a HSV clubsport or GTS built as a family car?

Same argument.

The japanese definition of a "family car" and say american or australians is vastly different.

Just because its a coupe doesn't mean it was designed as a sports car. Both vehicles have their "sporty" equivalents. Neither base models were designed as sports cars. The skyline has better handling and a more cost effective pathway to modifications, but that doesn't mean in its base form it was designed as a sports car. A stock gen3 SS will beat a stock rb25 down the quarter, so which is more "sporty"?

A car's a preference, who cares who has what. I respect the work people into every car across the board within reason, whether I'd take the same path as them is a different story though.

Maybe we sound like them to them. I am a different breed I guess in that i came to the "ricers" from v8s. I do recall shitcanning so called ricers for a good many years but i guess times change.

The general dynamics of my 12 year old ricer are still more than up to the task of keeping up with a similarly specced holden/ford of newer build But in fairness to those guys they are merely displaying the passion for their chosen vehicle as we do here. Is their bogan title any better than the ricer tag we have earned courtesy of the backward baseball cap types that you see hooning around in 32's, silvia's, etc in any given town on any given night.

I am not going back to bent iron any time in the future, I loves skylines way too much for that but its good to see healthy rivalry betwen the marques and, even better to see passion for a performance car regardless of its design, wether it be bent iron, turbo ricers or wankels. HMMMM, not to sure bout them. Ah stuffit, Yes I am. Rotors suck! LOL

I love that they're constantly referring to "turbos" and "ricers" but only ever talking about Japanese made cars.

I bet their tiny little heads spin when an XR6 Turbo beats em :(

I've driven Commodores, driven in them, and I can guarantee that I get a more satisfying drive out of my 33 GTSt every day then I ever did from a Commodore.

I'd love to see them take corners smoothly at 100km/h!

And as for being a family car, you have to remember that GTS' were made as a Japanese family car. So they were made for people who are a little smaller then the average Anglo Saxon.

Sif that backseat wasn't made for two Japanese people to have sex in :)

Seriously,

You guys are just as bad as them.

look at half the comments in this thread.

Half the guys on that forum are decent blokes and I know quite a few, and are proper enthusiasts unlike half here.

Sure, some go on like tools which was demonstrated - but so do half you lot in a reversed situation.

A true enthusiast will respect any car with decent performance no matter what badge lies on the bonnet.

Oh, for the record, I have owned a nicely modified gen3 LS1 - its quicker than my R33 at EC track.

But now Ive spent more on my boat - it will be quicker.

Just remember - every group of car owners (skylines, xr6 turbo's, gen3 commodores, Porsche, NS.com...etc etc) has a

"tool factor" that gives the rest a bad name.

      V36 2008 Coupe Wiring Differences with Android Screen

      By sausagepianist · Posted

      Right, here's a video of the basic operation at least.  This is what you can expect day to day when you turn the car on and it boots from standby.  The only thing from a media point of view I haven't gotten working is for it to autoplay plexamp when it turns on from standby (it works from cold boot) but that's more of a plexamp problem as it will autoplay other music players.  Also attached is my one stray cable.  It's part of the screen's wiring adapters but there's just nowhere for it to go in my car.  I've just now done a bit of research and found a matching port on a 2010-2014 head unit with BOSE.  Mine has no BOSE so that's that case pretty much closed I think.  Plugging in the Infiniti AC panel basically did nothing for me, so that's a dead end as well.  Next port of call is to mess with this CANBUS module and see what I can find from it.  I found this resource containing the DBC files for a 2010+ G37 : https://github.com/icecube45/Dash_InfinitiG37/blob/master/InfinitiG37.dbc I'll now have something to go from when I try to extract my CANBUS data so I can see if the HVAC Mode, Fan Speed, Temperature, etc. match and also the gear shifter position.  It's a pretty big assumption that it's just mismatched CAN signals but considering all the devices in the CAN network are talking to each other (AC can be fully adjusted just with no info on screen) it might be a safe one.  I will report back WhatsApp Video 2025-02-26 at 12.49.10.mp4

      Thanks for that Paul.  Do you think if I posted a picture you'd be able to remember where it went?

      V36 2008 Coupe Wiring Differences with Android Screen

      By sausagepianist · Posted

      Sorry Duncan, I didn't get a notification for the replies.  Thanks for responding!  It's a full Android device, but does allow you to use CarPlay/AA as well.  This is the one I bought from NaviRS on AliExpress: https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005006368602668.html?spm=a2g0o.order_list.order_list_main.111.59aa1802JDzQ0E - the 2K 8G-256G CAM variant but it seems to have gone up by £170 since I bought it!  My purchase was ￡307.14.   It's not the fastest thing in the world but performs perfectly adequately.  It stays on standby unless I disconnect the battery and let it power down, then it's just a fairly standard Android bootup time from cold.  The DSP Equaliser is very nice and made the standard stereo system sound pretty decent compared to the stock screen.  Perhaps I can take a video of it when I get a sec. It *allegedly* supports the reverse camera, but I'm yet to get that working.  It has options for reverse cam (a camera unit can be bought separately) or 360 cameras (also bought separately).  To be fair it doesn't seem to detect that the shifter was put into reverse but I'm working on a theory about this as well.  At the moment I'm going without which is a bit annoying considering the car is an absolute canal barge but so far I haven't caused any damage I'll grab a picture of the wire I'm missing later today when I can get outside.  My theory, by the by, is that not only is the head unit different, but the CANBUS network has different signals for the different years.  I think this because I have a spare AC panel from a newer Infiniti G37 (as opposed to my Nissan panel) which wouldn't control anything except the volume when I had it wired up with the stock system.  I'm going to throw it back in and see if the screen will respond to it.  I've just ordered an arduino CANBUS module so I can have a look at the signals going around the car and see if I can spot anything.  I'm thinking if I can work out what it's expecting vs what it's getting I might be able to translate and relay the signal back but so far just a theory anyway. I also found this on my travels, so far the only one that specifically matches my car: https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005002822934280.html?spm=a2g0s.imconversation.0.0.33433e5fgttovi If you look at the picture of the before, it has the card reader slot, and the picture of the head unit is exactly the same as the one pictured in my original post.  I asked if they sell the cables separately but sadly they won't.  I didn't want to just buy this one because it's a super old Android version and only dual core - likely slow as hell.

      As above, you did refill the coolant and burp the system before running it again didn't you?

      To be fair - you see the same thing for every clutch. There's always someone making an installation error.
