I'm tipping James has offered a lambo or F430 scuderia ;) maybe an audi R8, or perhaps a big ass Hummer ? I'd be almost embarrassed to have my car next to one of those! :D

I think the hummer would suit vin best.

Yeah thing with a Hummer is, they're a commonly available US domestic car, and it wouldnt exactly leave a lasting impression on him.

I wouldnt like to go to USA and be driven around in a commodore :3some:

Id lean towards ISF, Lambo, Ferrari 360CS/430, Merc black series CLK, Porsche GT3 or GT40. Maybe a nice Aston, but i think Universal wouldnt have that much taste in cars for something like this, as its more of a "wow" than a "oooooh"

Although, seeing how many passengers there are, these spring to mind; RS4, Masarati x 2, Bentley, Ferrari 612, GTR Q7, and yeah, the H2

But yes James, dont leave us in suspense

i reckon an aussie classic ...

HQ Manaro, Blown , engine out of the hood, fat tyers, lumpy cam's .... that should leave an aussie impression on him

The HQ is one of holdens least aussie cars, right up there with the opel commodore.

XB coupe or slr5000.

I could be wrong... ...But I'm sure the HQ Monaro and later series (HJ, HX, HZ) cars were Australian designed... ...I thought it was the first Monaro (HK), and the HT and HG series Monaros that were Opel based...

Mazda even rebadged the Australian built HQ as a Roadpacer... ...But dropped a rotary in there...

They were US designed, the commodores were opel.

The body shape, interior and the sloppy US suspension that was not suited to australian conditions.

Taking visual cues and technical information from US knowledge doesn't stop them being Australian designed cars...

The commodores that came later were definitely Opel... ...with a few small changes to body strength for Australia's harsher climate...

lol i'd give it a shot ... i got 5 doors ? take the whole crew,

privacy tint, would just sneak right in un-noticed ...

but its not riced up sorry

would of been cool if they got a 260RS

hopefully you dont cop a defect on route to said premier....have paul walker talk you out of that haha

lol - nothing would make me laugh more than a tale about the Vic Poleeze, Paul Walker and a modified import (with a Motec exhaust no less)

It would be even funnier if it was everyone's friend out in Knox :down:

    • Which solenoid? Why was it changed? Again, why was this done? ...well, these wear..but ultimately, why was it changed? Did you reset the idle voltage level after fitment? I'm just a tad confused ~ the flash code doesn't allude to these items being faulty, so in my mind the only reason to change these things, would be some drive-ability issue....and if that's the case, what was the problem? Those questions aside, check if the dropping resistor is OK ...should be 11~14 ohms (TCU doesn't throw a flash code for this) ~ also, these TCU designs have full time power (to keep fault code RAM alive), and I think that'll throw a logic code (as opposed to the 10 hardware codes), if that power is missing (or the ram has gone bad in the TCU, which you can check..but that's another story here perhaps).
    • Question for people who "know stuff" I am looking at doing the new intake like the one in the picture (the pictured is designed for the OEM TB and intake plenum), this design has the filter behind the front bar, but, the filter sits where the OEM duct heads into the front bar, and the standard aperture when the OEM ducting is removed allows the filter to pulled back out of the front bar into the engine bay for servicing, a simple blanking plate is used to seal the aperture behind the filter This will require a 45° silicone hose from the TB, like the alloy pipe that is currently there, to another 45° silicone hose to get a straight run to the aperture in the front bar Question: how will it effect the tune if I move the MAF about 100-150mm forward, the red is around where my MAF is currently, and the green would be where it would end up Like this This is the hole the filter goes through  Ends up like this LOL..Cheers    
    • Despite the level up question, actually I do know what that is....it is a pressure sender wire.  So check out around the oil filter for an oil pressure sender, or maybe fuel pressure near the filter or on the engine. Possibly but less likely coolant pressure sensor because they tend to be combined temp/pressure senders if you have one. Could also be brake pressure (in a brake line somewhere pre ABS) but maybe I'm the only one that has that on a skyline.
    • Pull codes via the self-diagnosis procedure. As far as I can tell this is just a sign of transmission issues but not a code unto itself.
    • Hi All, putting the engine back together and everything is perfect except have this plug left over.. any ideas what it is for and where it goes? Is on cold side under the intake plenum *note not a stock plug, as everything has been modified Cheers
