Just to upset the skewed curve of distribution...W427 :(

I am in no way complaining about the awesomeness of this garage, but if I was in a position to own this I'd have got them in different colours...or I'd be forever comparing shades of red!

love them both. if we were talking the monaro 427 that was supposed to go into production at $250K or an R35. I would have to say I'd go the monaro. I love my japanese cars and have had heaps of them inc R35 GTR but deep down I love my aussie monaro and reckon the 427 would be a goer with all the gear that was on them.

one of my favourite cars and i've been in some good ones over the years! I was gutted that they never went ahead with making more.

I mean just look at the engine in the thing...

Agreed...the Coupe 60 and the HRT427 were just sex on wheels in their own different rights. Coupe 60 had some beautiful and innovative styling cues (side exhausts on a street car, no B pillar and the bootlip spoiler) which would have been cool if they made it to production. HRT427 was a racing beast made for the street, that would have carried with it immense street cred. Pretty sure the unofficial quartermile on the HRT427 was 12 seconds flat. Of course, if you really want one there are a couple of Melbourne based companies who can get your CV8 pretty similarly set up to it.

That's exactly why I like this owner's garage. Evidence of no inherent and irrational bias towards a particular type of car...he's tasted the goods on either side and decided he likes both. Which is more than I can say for a couple of people on this forum :yes:

Unless of course it is his wife's car lol.

    • Ok I get you. But isn’t the butterfly intake a headache with the +T?  see this is my plan so far but please advise me into the right direction.  Nistune Ecu, 1000cc Bosch injectors, TD05 or TD06 Kinugawa turbo using stock rb25det exhuast manifold, walbro fuel pump unsure of model I think it’s 450/460, spitfire coils and sparks to suit and a R35 MAF sensor and boost sensor.    I was thinking maybe do a cheap eBay plenum $400-500 or try find a stock det neo intake. I think I’d port match it so it’s getting the full capacity but open to advice please.  Thanks 
    • The issue now is the 'fuel cut' while driving, and when it happend, it does not stall. This, I did not test the fuel pressure while driving as I cannot with a fuel pressure gauge. I do have Nistune logs, yes. I have also replaced the MAF Sensor.   Also related to the FPG Fuel Hanger – I just realized that I need a Deutsch Crimp Tool to crimp some cables for the FPG Fuel Hanger. Need to purchase additional cables as the kit only included 2, which are for the float. FPG has not responded to my emails so far since purchasing. I thought about taking it to someone and having it done professionally, but I am reluctant since everyone I took it to messed up in some way.  
    • There's a good German place in Brisbane if youre up for the drive 😛
    • The German place in Cabramatta was rock solid, fresh pretzel cooked to order back then. Then it went all quiet, after all the poker machines were removed, then I believe it closed for good. I did drive past the other week and noticed outdoor lighting a big screen, but no idea what is there now.  
    • Yeah I suspect even if you hold airmass per cycle/cylinder constant if you get too far away from stock you're still going to have problems running the factory tune within the bounds of the factory load scale. Cams, different displacement/rod ratio, etc. I'm just lucky that the GTIII-SS with wastegate boost + CA compliance cats is pretty much equivalent to stock turbos. When I have actual space I can finally get it tuned and modify the fuel system for flex fuel to 100% handle any detonation concerns when cranking the boost to whatever those dinky turbos can put out.
