nice one mate. you will love the hollinger, best money you'll spend on the car. bet you were impressed with how compact and light they are for such a stout 6 speed sequential box? they are a better thing in every way. better gears, better engagement, sequential, better casing and on and on. well worth the $20odd thou. espcially considering doing a full house gearset upgrade in a stock housing these days can run to $13-$15K by the time you do all the little upgrades and have it all assembled. no such drama with the hollinger and they are so nice to drive. :)

lol, thanx guys =)

what compression BC stroker kit are you using?

i'm unsure. powertune know more about it than i do

=)

hahahaha i hope your not wrong. =)

I've heard mixed reports about the hollinger. The good is they are bullet proof, ultra fast to shift etc.

The bad was (as I was told from someone else with a hollinger and 800+hp), the car lost what street manners it had left. Thats fine if you use the car as a toy that you occasionally go for a blast on the street or race track. But you cant drive your mum to the shops in it anymore. Based on what you said the cars fuel consumption is though, Im guessing its a toy so you will probably love it.

As long as you remember not to come to a complete stop, at an intersection, in 3rd gear, with cars waiting to turn behind you while you attempt to select lower gear but you can not. So always when downshifting, car needs to be moving at least a little. That is the only downside on the road, but than again there are too many positives to worry about any negative.

Enjoy the box. Once you setup your quick shift, up-shifting is a pleasure.

:thumbsup:

yeah they are definitely not that street happy. I mean you can't just cruise off and whack it into 5th or 6th and cruise. need to shift up and down the gears through every gear which can be tough if crusing in 4th and suddenly have to stop and quickly row back 3 gears. but like most things you would get used to dealing with it. also sucks in carparts as you sit there trying to grab reverse which can be a pain as you have to go into 1st, then into neutral, then into reverse. try doing it 3 times quickly in a 3 point parking manoeuvre!

but the joy under full power on the circuit makes them well worth it.

LOL Pete! Plenty died after 1 run, some lasted two :D

Was good to see this car in person. Gearchanges were just silly, that alone is worth 20k!

Needs some work round the launches to get outta the hole better and it'll be ridiculously fast!

Even i was a casualty on my last run, but it was expected :D

    • Haha actually I did join back then under a different email address,  I couldn't re-activate my account so made a new one! I didn't post much anyway so not missing out on much. Amazing to see how the value of the cars and parts has changed over the years, also ACT section appears to be dead now. 
    • Thanks... It's in pretty good condition overall, probably due to not being drifted/tuned however being a daily driver has taken its toll. Had 100k on the clock when I got it, up to 180k now. Unfortunately it's not 100% dent free, it's got a small dent on FLH side and broken indicator from where I hit a small kangaroo at high speed. If you look at closely at pic #5 you might spot the dodgy trailer light repair my old man and I rigged up as temporary repair! - It's still there due to a combo of needing the car as daily driver and then too lazy/busy to fix properly. I've a couple of other minor accidents accidents as well but nothing major. One required a new front bar and unfortunately the smash repairer ordered the normal gtst one and not the aero bar. Needed the car back asap so just went with it, regretted ever since.
    • I can't believe that anyone is foolish enough to believe that the base maps are for any other purpose than to drive the car up onto the trailer/truck or gently creep it to the dyno. No matter how good they are, they can never be any better than the factory maps**, and only the foolish trust those on a significantly modified setup. **Yeah, yeah. I know there's also the difference between factory maps being fixed to certain injector sizes and MAP/AFM/VE relationships, and the likely aftermarket ECU base maps being better able to handle the sorts of changes that would render a stock ECU dangerous, like different sized injectors. But let's just ignore that for the moment, because the principle is still the same.  
    • I'm shocked, you've owned a Skyline since 2006 and never joined SAU before now! 😮   Welcome, it's much quieter these days than it was in 2006, but lots of very knowledgeable ones lurk around here. I actually think in outage we've forgotten more about Skylines than anyone knows about them today... 😛
    • So it could give us some info. Such as we find out what number they started at, and we know how many of those blocks came before it.
