you reckon the BA was no good?

it was a good step forward for ford

new build, new engine from scratch, drive by wire, performance range

before the BA they were really lacking any decent performance models

280 tends to leave them crying in ur dust so....

maybe from stand still to ~70ks, but after that i doubt the SS would be crying...

That is at the flywheel.

i meant @flywheel

i want a hsv opinions?

dont gimme the its not jap shit, whats actually wrong with them

kgo.

*insert funky rage here*

HSV coupe/monaro. thank me in a few years when they're worth a pretty penny.

What's wrong with HSV? Nothing, if you like cheaply made family cars.

They're not a sports car and they never will be, despite what all the bogan racers say.

cheaply made yes, compared to an Audi. compared to a Nissan/Toyota? lol dont think so...

This.

Also getting an e46 m3 is kinda taking a backward step in that dept. I have easily seen off a couple of them.

Alex look into a GXP, full fat motor but a bit more subtle styling and cheaper

there's more to an ///M3 than just power/straight line speed

Alex, if you're going down that path, FG Typhoon, black on black

this.

I'm sorry did I logon to the wrong forum?

yes.

I know, thats why i qualified it with 'in that dept'. Don't doubt they are a decent car.

Also I've reduced a few SS bogans to tears in freeway-type situations. I think you're overestimating them.

lol i was wondering where mohsen was with his 2c on ford vs holden, then remembered that I banned him.

Thanks for that. No bs lebo stories

hmmm i might be. maybe those were the older 5.0/5.7 litre ones?

What'd he do this time?

Ask about 300ZX then achieving something... Then all I see from you is "Banned, kthxbi"

Thing is the weight of them increases with the newer models as well as the power. So the newer ones aren't heaps faster. Forget about the 5.0 though, even holden fanboys say they were rubbish.

My mate has a VE SSV ute and i honestly thought it was nothing special

Hahah

:laugh:

ok i was overestimating. just looked up for specs, ls2 ss 0-100 5.5sec 1/4 ~14.0sec

I believe Nissan achieved a time like those, if not lower back in 1989...

    • From there it is trickier. Ecutek seems to be one of those closed ecosystems where everyone password protects their tunes which means I either choose a tuner and can't change from them and can't make any changes myself for any reason, or I have to buy the tuning software (about $4k) and then get someone to tune from scratch (which is not simple with all the multi dimensional tables these days). Once you buy about 300 "flash points" per ECU you can get it tuned and add their "RaceROM" function which hacks extra functionality like launch control onto the ECU, and also makes extra data available for logging over CAN Not sure what I'll do there yet; I'm tempted to use one of the overseas shops that does billions of remote tunes of the platform instead of starting from scratch locally, a lot can be done online these days.
    • Can I log IAT eh? Well, can now So next thing was looking at data logging. Not straight forward because none of the motorsport displays have cracked the nissan/inifinti CAN and ECU based displays don't do g logging, lap timing, predictive laps etc.  So, I bought an Ecutek dongle from Tunehouse (Oz distributor). Even without a tune onboard that allows display and logging of about 50 parameters via Android (and presumably iOS) app. Approx 600 for the bluetooth + Usb version That gives me (pretty ugly but) functional dash display on Android And logging of these parameters I'll play around a bit over the break, but at least now I can make sure I have oil pressure when I get to some track testing.  
    • I don't know what globes/headlight connector they run, but I'd be looking for a female adapter to plug into the existing headlight on one side. Something like this https://www.ebay.com.au/itm/256017245989 Then I'd use a pair of single input, double output relays (one for low, one for high), mount them in a spare space in the fuse box if you want to to look more original (and be easier to maintain). Then 2 new power sources from the main stud in the fuse box via a fuse to each relay. Low from the headlight adapter pin triggers low relay and high from the high headlight adapter pin triggers high and low. Earth the relays and new headlight sockets and off you go. Because it triggers off the original headlight all of the dipping/hi on/high flash all still works
    • I reached 10 posts and wanted to make my build thread too but still can't add pictures to posts so I have no idea how it works 😂
