Nothing wrong with a N/A if your on your Ps or using as a daily to and from work, both in which I do... its been great never had a problem even when I get pulled over on the way to work (happened a few times now) they come up look at the brakes and go.. "bugger non turbo"

+1. They are fun when you are on your P's. And you still get the same looks from people around, especially when you are driving a Skyline on P's.

fastest commo v6 is the VN and they got slower from there jonoe :)

Actually Boz the VP is the fastest commodore ever. The VN V6 did 0-100 in 8.1 seconds the VP did it in 8.0. They just kept getting slower and slower from the VP onwards because they kept adding safety feature after feature but not that much more power until the slowness peaked with the VT V6 which did 0-100 in 9.1 seconds. The current VE is still slower than a VP it does it in 8.6 seconds.

To those of you comparing sporty cars like the Magna VRX with the Commodore just dont, your comparing something built with sporting pretensions with a car just designed to be a family car. If you want to make a fair comparison compare it with the likes of an SS or a Clubbie, and by the way the Commodores that have an S after the name only means you get a stupid spolier and a bodykit not more power. Also the VT came out in 97 not 03, so if you want to compare sporty family cars, VY SS vs 03 Magna VRX, I wonder which one would win :)

the NA supra is well, slow.

In comparison with a modern aussie V8, turbo 6 or turbo Supra or Skyline definetly. But for an NA car its definetly a quick one 0-100 in 6.59 seconds is pretty impressive it would trounce every car we have discussed in this thread.

Just forgot to include. I'm referring to cars which is legal for P's. OFC the VR-X isn't in the same league as the S pack commo, I just used the S pack because that was the beastiest it could get for a p plater wanting a commo. (I under stand commo badges... >.>)

Sorry for miss understanding :)

No worries :merli: Best Victorian P-Plater car imo is the NA Supra, it has the speed and is quite the confortable cruiser too. S13 Silvia's and the 180sx get an honourable mention as well, they are reasonable quick cars and both hold there values brilliantly well because P-platers always want a cool first car. Although fastest car now legal for P-platers that I know of is the factory turbo VL commodore which can be great fun but are cop bait.

      R32 GTR EV? The leaf of the Godzilla's!

      Yes...but look at the numbers. There is a tiny tiny fraction of the number of Joules available, compared to what is used/needed. Just because things are "possible" doesn't make them meaningful.

      Somehow Vertimass/Oak Ridge National Labs has figured out a catalyst that can convert ethanol into C9-C10 hydrocarbons in basically a single step without ending up with a bunch of ethylene or similar waste products: https://patents.google.com/patent/WO2023224867A1/en I still don't think anything like this will keep us from needing to transition to EVs regardless along with all kinds of other electrification, but things like this will go a long way towards alleviating the problem of how to electrify things like planes. Renewable diesel is seemingly an easier problem as well, Chevron is already running refineries for the stuff and the primary feedstock is tallow and other waste fats from agriculture.

      Ok so I have sorted everything with my uniclutch and  i can offer up a bit of feedback and some things that might help others.    I found problems with factory damper line. Weird shit and had trouble with peddle adjustment    I used this https://au.gktech.com/products/r33-gts-t-skyline-braided-clutch-line?_pos=2&_sid=22b01b9b9&_ss=r Also when adjusting peddle leave a bit of play. You can get into a over stroke condition easy.. Make sure you can push the slave forward after adjusting to confirm fluid can return to master then you will need to pump it up heaps…..not sure why but that’s how it is.    last thing the splined adapter is machined perfectly. If your input shaft is old like mine was I would put a bit of valve grinding paste on it and stroke it like a 15 year old. Just to give it a tad more clearance and to better match it to the spline.    reason is on a near flat shift I have had situation where the peddle returns a millisecond after you lift from the clutch. No slip or anything but I reckon this is due to tolerance on the spline being way tighter than stock clutch and binding for a sec. I think this will go away but also my spline was old. Box is old so I guess I should have checked better. It’s a super neat fit.    it feels light as and holds awesome without any noise
