Looks like Holden could build a new V6 powered RWD midsized sedan. Let me be the first to say i'd buy this in a second and i think a lot of MAzda6, 3-series and Accord Euro buyers would too.

Good, that means they can trash the Vectra and Astra and kill them off for good...

No wait, kill the Tigra and keep the Astra, as much as I hate Astras..

The Tigra is just GOD AWFUL! *bleh!*

Vectra's been gone for a fair while now, mate :D Replaced by the Epica, which is even worse...

If they make it look like the concept car, they're on a winner.

Swapped a Euro for a Korean.... ever noticed all the re-badged Holdens names seem to end in "a" vectra, viva, epica, nova, calibra ect ect..wierdos

Will it be called a "torana" ? the concept did look horn

The picture and the car have nothing to do with each other they explicitly state that the 2 cars will not be the same. Though how accurate the article is could be another issue all together different. A turbo model is a possibility. THAT is interesting. Wonder how heavy the vehicle is. A V6 tt model rwd.. wack in the 6 pot fronts and 4 pot rears + some good suspension... that could be a fun machine... I'd give it a try before judging the vehicle.

yeah... the pink and white interior matches your panties.... :nyaanyaa:

naah id get a lime green one to match your bikini. :whistling:

then park it beside my midnight blue 350kw@allfour gtr and wine red 600kw@allfour gts4

How long you reckon it'll take for someone in the holden camp to do an LS1 swap?

That is, if a turbo version isn't released.

hmmm 10 dollars says that holden will make a v8 version, bathurst n all, public demand will deem it fiscally viable option.

    • That's f**ked up. I'd guess it's more likely that you have an entire S13 subframe in there. Does it still have HICAS mounting points? Seeing as it is quite possible that yours is the only such converted car in the world, you'll probably struggle to find someone who can tell you from direct experience. 'Twere I you, I'd be looking for 4 stud Skyline rear brakes and convert back. At a minimum. Preferably go find all the stuff you need to put it back to 5 stud (assuming you're happy to change wheels) and upgrade to some decent brakes. You don't even need much stock stuff. Don't need calipers or rotors, as you can go fully aftermarket. Just needs hubs and the other bits and bobs that are different to what you have now.
    • The engine has nothing to do with it. The physical space behind the headlight is the limiting factor. And the height. The height of the NS70 is the same as stock. So the clamp bar across the top goes on nice. The battery tray is big enough for it to sit on. The X is for extra capacity - it has even more lead in it than the non-X NS70. Heavy f**ker. But it's not a track car, so I will suffer a couple of extra kg. In the case of the R34, maybe the physical space there is not as deep (forward-backward, not up down). Hence why they say the 60 is the biggest. But I would never trust a catalogue to tell me what will fit. I have the car. I have the existing battery. I have the tape measure. I have the dimensions of all the available batteries. I find the biggest box that will go in. (With the right terminals in the right places, of course).  
    • Hello! I have been having a hard time finding the answer to this question… I have a R32 GTS-T Sedan than has been 4 lug swapped using S13 hubs, rotors, and brakes. The front has also been converted to S13 suspension.    When the swap was completed, the handbrake cables were never hooked up, as the S13 rear calipers are the “handbrake”, and not the typical drum on rotor that the R chassis are. Does anyone know handbrake cables that will work for this conversion? I’d like to not use a hydraulic handbrake and stick with the traditional cable style. My original thoughts were to go with S14 cables and try to make them work, since I’m pretty sure S13 cables will be too short.    Any help would be appreciated!
    • I did some research, considering you have a neo engine, how is that battery compatible? I checked centuries website and super cheap and says it's not compatible. Only this full size one is. https://www.centurybatteries.com.au/products/ns60-mf
    • No, lets be honest here. I went to Winton and did a track day, for all the mods and V8 power and craziness I posted up a time that a K24 stock motor Honda Accord can do on the same tyres (narrower, too) 250kw and learning how to drive the f**kin thing is the sweet spot.
