HaHa Quote of the thread!

I think if you can afford an r35 any HSV will seem a tiny dot in the rear view mirror.

Don't be too cocky ... I've got one that does an 11.300 ET on street tyres @ street pressure (obviously not stock).

No way would it stay with an R35 around corners, but I'd have it in a straight line.

Have you got a 35 On order???

great choice mate !!! the wait must be killing you and the test drives must be making your mouth water

The videos are great ... the hi-res pics when it was first released started it all off, the more I see the better it looks.

It is a long wait though, I just hope I don't overhype it and get disappointed when it arrives ... I gotta say, based on the video in this thread, I think that's pretty unlikely.

have Nissan given you any inside info ? costings $$$ ??

is it just me or do american vet drivers seem as dumb as australian hsv/fpv drivers;o lol ive seen vids of co6's getting beaten by 300zx's and turbo civics etc but yet they dont want to hear that any car can be better

also about the comment saying that the gtr couldnt go anty quiker then 11.6 and 0-60mph faster, well the article did say it was just done on some random track/road with low grip surface, with street tyres, and also mentioned that it lost alot of traction before the awd kicked in to compensate, just imagine on a track with a full redline launch with slicks!

Bunch of loosers hey! Typical Americans that Love there GMC/Ford Crap and something else comes along like a GTR and they cant accept a Import to there LANDS! oiiiiii NISSAN, stuff america,tell the Captain of the Ship full of GTR's To set Sail For AUS instead!!

Love to Know how a Family Man with a Mortgage and Wife Can Afford a New GTR!!! TELL ME THE SECRETS!!!! lol!

I could say the same for half the nissan owners on this forum. I mean what's with the constant holden/ford bashing? and bagging their owners. I've never owned a commodore or falcon but that doesn't stop me recognising that they have made some great value cars in their time. I love the new HSV senators. they look awesome, and they have a big powerful V8, nice leather interior, much improved build quality and nice, modern styling. and cost around $100K. pretty decent if you ask me.

GTRs are great but if I could afford 20 cars I wouldn't have 20 bloody GTRs in the garage. actually if I didn't spend so much coin on the GTRs I've owned I probably could have 20 cars.

I love the GTRs. They are all great in different ways. but they are not the be all, end all of world motoring.

A bunch of stiff's if you ask me,

I love my GTR's and get's me so cut when people bag them :P .

Even at my work all V8 lover's they tease me, thinking i am the dumb one thinking it's better then gts and gto's and the new R8 they are dead set serious thinking they are faster Then a GTR.

cant really compare the hsv to the gtr (gtr is in teh supa car league :P ).....unless it was the 2002 HSV HRT 427 Concept - it seems that the GTR will still beat that car (according to the figures anyway).

But, it will be interesting to see how it matches up with the replacement for the supra - apparently thats also a bit of a beast (aimed at the supercar league)

so, whos willing to make a guess on how long till we see the GTR listed among the following 10? (from supercars.net)

Top cars of 2007:

1. Bugatti 16/4 Veyron Pur Sang (Best Veryon)

2. Lamborghini Reventon (Styling Renaissance + LP640)

3. Koenigsegg CCXR Edition (1018 bhp, 1.5 million)

4. Ferrari F430 Scuderia (F430 with proper intakes)

5. Lamborghini Gallardo Superleggera (100kg CF Diet)

6. Aston Martin DBS (James Bond's Whip)

7. Mazda Taiki Concept (Most Radical Concept Ever?)

8. Porsche 911 GT2 (Most Powerfull 911 from Porsche)

9. Vector Avtech WX-8 HPV (Revival of the outrageous)

10. Gumpert Apollo Sport (See one on Bullrun 2008)

i like the HSV concept , needs a slightly more aggresive front in my opinion but still nice for 02

i think the Holden drivers here are ok, its just a small minority ,

Thanks mate ... you're right.

I'm a Holden man through and through, below is my garage as it sits today;

I have placed a deposit with Nissan for an R35 as I think it's pretty much the ultimate car. I have posted this fact on the LS1 forum and haven't seen many disagree with me. Basically all the Holden nuts are agreeing, this car is absolutely sensational.

That doesn't mean that Holden's don't have their merits ... that are bloody good cars in a lot of ways.

    • My take on gg2 48mm, 54mm, 58mm, and 62mm compressor map for same size compressor vs gg1 : All gg2 only outflow gg1 above 20 psi. As all g gen 2 surge line at lower left of comp map move to the right, all gg2 sacrifice spool vs same size gg1, surge line move to the right worst for 54mm gg2. So for same size compressor if you want best response, use gg1, if you want max hp at >20psi use gg2 but you will be laggier vs same size gg1. Max compressor efficiency drops to max 75% on all gg2 vs max 76%-80% of same size gg1. Iirc lower efficiency means hotter iat less dense air so lower hp at same operating point of comp map. Also curious why gg2 is mapped to lower max rpm vs same size gg1 (only 48mm size both gg1 gg2 mapped to same rpm) : 54mm gg1 165,000 rpm  vs  gg2 160,000 rpm. 58mm gg1 150,000 rpm vs gg2 140,000rpm. 62mm gg1 145,000 rpm vs gg2 140,000 rpm. If gg2 can safely spin to gg1 rpm then they can flow a bit more than as mapped. Good thing that all gg 2 interchange compressor and turbine housings with same size gg 1. So gg1 owners can buy gg2 chra only if planning to boost >20psi.
    • My stuff is all with Shannon's, granted, I don't really have imports I'm driving on the road, however, I've had multiple cars at the same time with them. Presently we have the Landcruiser on laid up cover, Sarah's Kluger on full cover, and the house insured. About 18 months ago Sarah wrote her Subaru Liberty GTB off, insured with Shannon's, and the payout, and buy back of the wreck was super quick. In 2020 we had the VF Commodore totalled in a major hailstorm. Storm was on the Saturday, I called on the Sunday and lodged it, vehicle was towed on Tuesday night, assessment team called on Wednesday to say it was a total loss and get payout details, money was in the bank on Thursday morning. Have had a few other claims both at fault, and not at fault, over the years, and never had an issue with them.   Funnily enough, they're also the cheapest insurer I find for things like Sarah's Kluger.   I will say I'm less impressed dealing with them lately around "the experience", as a lot of their staff that you deal with aren't car enthusiasts. Shannon's has a much more main stream feel ever since they decided to become "big corporate", laid a heap of staff off, and then hired a bunch of non enthusiasts. At the same time they've been making a push to be less "call us and we'll personally have someone who cares help" to "hey, this computer can do stuff for you" and are trying to get more square pegs to fit round holes. (That's just the vibe I get from them). Again, have had no issues with claims with them, but get a bit of a "less personal" feel from them.
    • A thing I wasn’t happy with with enthusiast was during the initial phone call they told me they’d insure it for 130k but needed photos.   I then sent them photos and they told me $80k as there were other cars either similar modifications available for around that price, I told them to send me the links to said cars so that I can buy them. i then sent the modification list with prices of the parts (no labor) and the price then came to 115k, which is still shy of the 130 that was agreed in the initial phone call 
    • Ask me a bit later this week before payday
    • I agree that delayed payment probably isn't the most suitable solution. It seems a solid complete transaction would be best. As I wouldn't be using this sale as a line of credit that would typically earn interest, we can probably arrange a much cleaner single transaction deal. I can do $92.52 today. Would you prefer EFT, or Cash on Pickup?  😛
