How would we all feel about Holden if they added the VXR220 to their artillery? Its entirely possible considering the Astra and Vectra are from Vauxhall, and Vauxhall are selling the monaro as the "Monaro VXR"

The VX220 is certainly a car i've wanted for a long time, but if it became available here badged a holden i would probably spew. :throwup:

holden and vaxuhall are identical.................

the only difference is that the call vaxuhall models in australia holdens because of the herritage and that some cars like the commodore was/is an australian icon that vaxuhall dont badge..............

vaxuhall drivers are wankers too, there's another likeness.............

there was a thead i was a part of a week or 2 ago about the monaro comming to the UK, which is confirmed..............

Monaros going to the UK has been confirmed for ages. Who cares what the car is badged as? As for Vauxhall and Holden being the same is like saying Ford and Jag are the same. Owned by the same overall company but separate entities. I hate home grown car bagging! Immature, unfounded comments on locally produced product is unwarranted. Local manufactures producing good reasonable quality affordable cars is good for the public and good for the country in terms of export. (off topic I know).

Don’t get excited, the car wont come here.

Slightly heavier than a lotus elise... but with 250nm on tap from 1950 through to 6500... its certainly the one to take.. if not just for the fact that its by far more civilised... i've wanted one since they first came out... then the turbo came out!!! I'm going to england next year so hopefully i'll test drive one... :D

"Vauxhall and Holden being the same is like saying Ford and Jag are the same. Owned by the same overall company but separate entities."

partially right...............but the only simalarty to Jag and Ford is the owners, the cars have nothing to do with eachotehr....i've never seen a Jag Focus...........but you get both holden and vaxuhall astra's, vectra's, corsa's (identical to barina, just name change) and a lot of other similar ones in the fleet...............

holden is vaxuhall in the uk and vice versa

i saw Opel when in eastern europe.............same cars again, a few models they dont have in OZ though.........

They're separate entities, owned by the one parent company.

Licensing agreements like the VX220 range are different. Lotus build the VX220 off the Elise platform under contract from General Motors Global. Vauxhall doesn't manufacture them.

I don't get why it's so hard for some people to understand the GM/VW/Ford empires. The parent company owns a controlling stake in each separate manufacturer, who sometimes decides to sell their product to overseas markets under a family badge. :hellpisd: :(

Partially right... if you have seen a Ford X-Type you have seen a Jaguar Mondeo

      OEM Soko: Japanese business supplying Automotive items from Japan - Freebie inside!

      By Rezz · Posted

      We have some genuine Japanese legally decommissioned car number plates now in stock 🙂 Add some legitimately obtained JDM style to your Skyline or other Japanese model, or simply as a garage/man cave decoration! About the 40mm hole: The Ministry of Land, Infrastructure & Transport in Japan recognised the popularity of keeping decommissioned plates among car enthusiasts and came up with a method to "destroy" (or render them unusable for street use) while still retaining their collectable/usable value for display etc.  We have 40mm hole covers available to cover the hole nicely with a Sakura motif, which are also available in white in (very!) limited quantities, however they frequently sell out. Please let me know if you're wanting one or more of these and I'll check availability. The Sakura motif covers are more common. https://www.oemsoko.co.jp/products/genuine-decommissioned-japanese-vehicle-number-plate-set-su-7515 https://www.oemsoko.co.jp/products/genuine-decommissioned-japanese-vehicle-number-plate-set https://www.oemsoko.co.jp/products/genuine-japanese-vehicle-number-plate-400mm-hole-cover *Please note that we can't obtain particular number or area name (eg: "Gunma 500 Fu ・86") if requested. All plates are provided as they become available after decommissioning.

      Ah, fair enough. For the IAT, I'm using a legit GM sensor that was used on the car prior to my current build. I'll get another wideband and IAT ordered and follow up when they show up. Thanks for the help.

      You shouldn't need to massively fatten up the mixtures for cold conditions. For one thing - 0°C is not that cold. For another, the Haltech will be using the IAT sensor to tell it how dense the air air, and calculate the correct amount of fuelling. Then the cold start enrichment is added as a % on top of that, so it should scale with the main fuelling. You might also doubt the IAT sensor at this time. You're not using one from an RB26 are you? Using a nice Bosch sensor or similar? Happens. Some wideband units take great pleasure in killing their sensors. Put another wideband in the tailpipe and compare. Or just swap the sensor to a brand new one and see.

      Oh, my misunderstand. When the car was running, it sounded ok, but if I gave it any gas it wanted to die but caught itself afterwards. It's very different from how it was a couple months ago when it was warmer outside. The logs show that the AFRs are better during, what I assume, is warmup enrichment. Because it's cold, and air is more dense, should I work on the enrichment bit?

      Rb20e and RB20DET parts

      By A31Skyline · Posted

      yess of course im not using 2nd hand parts from my spare engine, but the place where i live is hard to find parts for the RB20DET ,but for the RB20E is everywhere including new ones and a lot cheaper ,because for the RB20DET you have to order it overseas to get one and it cost a lot of money 3x the price to be exact. so i ask this topic because if i can use the new ones but for RB20E is it compatible or not. if not im screwed haha, not totally screwed but i have to save a lot of money first before i can begin repairing my engine, thanks for the information before.
