well i had to sign up so i could have my say... give a toss wether they are biased or not.. comments like:

*skylines are common (comming from a commondore forum?!?)

*jap cars all have neons and are rice

*turbos shit themselves at 100,000km

*skylines crack heads

*180sx's are all 1.8l

etc etc... if you wanna have an argument... at least research it first..

thing i loved the most is how farken good they all think the new monaro 427 is... but for the same price you could take your pics of a GT3 porches, a nice ferrari, jaguar, m3, m5, amg's etc etc.. and they would shit all over it.

and like any of em will ever be able to afford the HRT 427 anyway!

The 4 door skyline may be taxis in japan not the 2 door

so that means they are taxies? coz Commodore's are taxies too rite?

ok, let me re word it, commodores over here are like the "family car" you know ... anyhow thats what the skyline is in japan well not the family car but... whatever...

The 4 door skyline may be taxis in japan not the 2 door
i am not familiar with any 4 door skyline taxis, may be wrong though!

refer to pic for japan taxi , they also com in different colors

bah, I'm not a member of that particular Commodore forum, and I'm not going to register just to read what they have to say. :)

Anything a Commo can do, a Skyline can do better!

(And look good while it's doing it.:( )

guys im definately a holden lover but after looking for a v8 commodore manual and not been able to find one in my budget ($20000) i test drove a 33 and now own it. comparing handling, power and value for money skylines piss on commodores and now i love pulling up next to commodores at the lights, lots of fun.

and still what looks more stylish skylines or the millions of commodores on the roads?

I bought a VS V8 Manual (IRS,SRS,ABS) Commodore.

It had a 3.5" Exhaust pacemaker extractors, chiped etc..

I owned it for 9 months.

Within that period and my driving style i went through:

1 x $1800 Split rear chassis through one of the IRS's Diff bolting points. (Wheels had 45degree's camber and the bumper was on the ground)

2 x $???? Front Strut swaybar connector thingo's the ripped out :(

1 x $1100 IRS LSD Differential (Started Making Grinding Noises)

1 x $1200 5 Speed Manual (Started Poping out of gears and whinned really badly)

hrmm I think thats about it.. If I remember any more as I was always spending some money fixing the damn thing I'll make another post.

:)

They have made the gearing to long. They are difficult to launch (in Manual Form) and arn't that quick out of corners.

Most importantly in my book anyhow.. The brakes are shiet house.

this is hillarious, i think most of these have already been mentioned.

1. Take the hair dryers off them & see how hard they go then . (why would you? thats how the engine is, i might as well say take 3 and a bit litres off a dunnydore).

2. u get to keep your dignity by not driving some stupid ass look plastic car thatll go BANG in under 100000 kays, the V8 has a lot less maintenance.

3. SKYLINES SUCK ASS they are the s**ttest car on da road. They r so ugly ppl think they are cool but they crack heads a lot cos tey are s**t.

4. v6 vn's keep up with 180sx's till 80 [when they are running stock boost], f**king hate them! they (skylines) are more common then commodores now...

There are actually a fair few positive comments in there from the holden people though. Then there is this. i think it makes us alll look bad, but funny. :)

*everything a 2.6l GTR will kick the arse of a 5.7l V8 dunnydoor fuel-guzzling pushrod piece of s**t. DO U c**tS REMEMBER BATHURST 91??!! You stupid VB drinking bogans just accept this and go back to ur farms to tend cows. Idiots.*

I loved my supercharged VX "S", however it depreciated $10K in 12 months. I imported a '93 R33 4dr for through J-Spec and have found it to be a far superior car. It's not that I don't like pushrods and cast iron, I just think its better suited to 20 year old cars....not new ones. I also now there a lot of very nice Commodores out there......to each there own.

    • Ok guys thank you very much. GCG highflow it is then 馃檪 
    • forgot to mention that when it does this it does not kill the engine, but I have not kept the pedal down long enough to let it, as I see no reason to beat up on it as its got to be something simple, small and dumb causing this.  And as soon as I let off pedal, the engine returns to its normal super smooth operation and rpms re-stabilize quickly, once below 4k. 
    • neither stumble or cut really seem to be an appropriate term....hard to explain its like a rev limiter but at 4k, but it violently shakes engine and entire vehicle as the rpms will not rise over 4k, even with slow acceleration. as soon as it hits 4k, it sounds like entire spark is lost entirely. plugs were 1.1 which I used as such, but later put in new plugs gapped down to .8 changed back after issue arose when I replaced the coils, still does it with either plug gap...damn and it was all running so good.
    • Oh how times have changed! I actually lean it out relative to my water/methanol injector duty cycle. The methanol adds a lot of fueling and you can then lean it out even more due to reduced knock. 
    • Yeah my thoughts are the same, a well thought out WMI setup, would be slightly ahead of just straight E85 and you're also chemically intercooling the charged air, dropping it even further. This is why you need to add so much more fuel as soon as you spray. I remember someone taking me through their set up before (Dennis, has a R33, lives around Cabramatta - no idea if he's still around on this forum). He would target AFR 10:1 on 98, then as WMI ramped on, AFR would lean back up to 11:1. Amazingly, he did this all through his PowerFC, a relay to cut power to his EBC solenoid if there was not enough line pressure on his WMI kit. And of course, if there wasn't any boost made above gate pressure, you wouldn't be accessing the load cells with heaps of timing for WMI. One downside to that rudimentary setup, once the WMI came on, the EBC would unleash the dragon, and of course all the timing. Tyres would fry lol.
