Why the hate for commodores? Sure the old ones were buckets but anything VT on isnt that bad

Service it well, dont buy a clapped out one and you shouldnt have problems. Mine (VT2) is about to clock over 223,000k's and in ALL that time its only had the radiator get a slight crack ($300 fix, new alloy rad), aircon regassed once ($100) and then just filters, oils and coolant. Hell i drove it for a week or so with half coolant (didnt realise) and its fine.

Of course they arent fun to drive vs an import, but how many people here have one as a daily? Youd be surprised :)

Number of car issues Cassbo has ever had = 1

Number of car issues you two have had = lol

:down:

That turbo that when pop... Well, just for the sake of laughing at you, I hope a tiny tiny piece got into your engin and fuxed your bore... :P

And I don't have issues... I just feel the need to replace things often... :D

Maybe spend a bit more and for 22k you could get 350gt =D, V6 but 208kw and its a nice daily driver and from what ive herd not to bad for fun on the tracks.

+1 on the 350GT

my VX berlina is awesome.

pretty much echo Stevo's comments!

It's great for moving A to B, and towing etc, but it sure as hell is no performance car...

If it is, enter it at the next track day, BOTH OF YOU!

I'm just a tad confused about the word, "awesome" :ermm:

...because Steveo's remark said "not that bad" :D

What's similar between "awesome" and "not that bad" :ermm:

Commodore owners = Bogans :huh:

Jap car owners = Ricers :(

That’s just a load of crap!

I have had Holdens and others for 20 years and worked on jap cars for just as long . Every car make will have its problems.

Buy what suits you .

VX Berlina vs MX5.. The MX5 is probably quicker on the trailer... I was captaining my old mans VX for a bit, had an S1 stag at the same time, standard auto with an exhaust and there was no comparison, Stag was 4x the car..

The second part of this post is full of WIN!!!

I have a 99 stag and a VY S2 SS crewman and the stag is faster but i love my crewman more, it is a lounge chair with a V8 attached. We like the Holden so much we are thinking about selling the Stag and getting a new SSZ wagon for the misses.

But if you are on a budget and you dont need to toe a caravan or car trailer i would get a stag hands down over an older como.

    • Had another look at the car and I noticed the fuel pump isn't priming on ignition. I'd taken out the pump from the boot to siphon out the old fuel, so maybe I've knocked something loose or broken a wire putting things back together. Will go back with a multimeter and try to work out what's stuffed. Kinda hoping it's the pump itself thats gone so I can upgrade it
    • Yeah agreed, you can't assume that shop are they only people who ever had to work on it. It was just a guess on the mods based on how things were done back then. You can check the Air Flow Meters by the part number on their tags, they are likely either Z32 or Nismo ones (both read about the same but the Z32 one is a little larger while nismo is stock size but supports the higher airflow like a Z32). And yes, all that would get you to 450hp / 340kw To tell what is happening with the turbos, you want a photo of the tag on the core, that will say what it was made out of  (they can retain the front and rear covers to make the plumbing easier)  
    • I'm selling my personal race car. 1992 BNR32 Skyline GT-R About eight years ago the engine developed the dreaded low oil pressure problem. I removed it and found the issue. However shortly after I moved half way across the country, moved my work shop, bought a house, got married, then moved my shop again to it's permanent location for the time being. in turn I do not have the time to race this car as it should be. In turn the engine I built for this car will end up in my street car and this car I hope finds a home with someone who can use it to it's full potential. The roll bar was built by Jason Noren Fabricaiton in Pomona California to SCCA and NASA Specs. The car used to compete in redline time attack and global time attack enthusiast class. It also has a fire suppression system.  The car is with me at my workshop in Kyle Texas, USA. Shipping it is no problem, I can personally deliver the car to the port of either Houston or Los Angeles. Any other port depending on where it is may require transport but we can always work that out.   The chassis itself is rust free, rear quarters and under fenders are free of any rust so it's a very solid foundation for anyone who wishes to move forward with it. As posted and at the asking price of $20,000 USD the car includes all of the following;   All OEM Body panels, front fenders, rear bumpers etc.  OEM Nissan Projector headlamps (Pictured N1 lamps were removed) OEM Nismo Side Skirts / Extensions OEM Rear Spats  Front & Rear Subframes are installed car is full roller Rear Subframe has Cusco Camber Arms, Whiteline HICAS Elimination Front Subframe has Whiteline tension rods and whiteline Sway bars w/ endlinks.  Buddy Club N1 Coilovers All chassis wiring and engine wiring is in tact. Attessa System is fully in tact and was functional before engine removal.  BCNR33 GT-R Brembo Brakes F+R with Endless MX72 Plus Pads, DBA Rotors & Stainless Steel Brake lines Billion Racing Radiator Billion Radiator Hoses Fluidyne Engine Oil Cooler Accusump System (trunk Mounted) 5 Speed Transmission w/ Transfer Case F+R Prop-shafts Rear Differential With rear Axles.  Nismo Gauge Cluster Nismo Clutch + Flywheel   Essentially what is needed to make this car running and driving again is as follows: A working Engine, an ECU, and time to put it together. The price posted is or best offer as I am willing to remove some components to accommodate price to a certain extent. If any serious buyer wants full detailed pictures, videos, or any questions I'll be happy to answer them. I believe this car is priced to move quickly considering it's a rust free and very straight chassis but always open to fair negotiation.  I can be contacted via phone or email.

    • So...to my (and my mechanics doing the swap) surprise...the oil pan from NEO engine does not fit 100% and needs to by modified like this: It is not a huge problem but in the future i want a "proper" oil pan. So question is...what different oil pan can i get to fit without any problems and modification? Thanks! 
    • Some more info I found.  These are the last entries Yoshikiyo Fujii made on his blog before he passed away in 2009: http://blog.livedoor.jp/fujii_dynamics/ And finally this is where the workshop was situated:  https://maps.app.goo.gl/HhTPtHzt3WVcBTiEA
