Why Do People Get All Butthurt When They See Or Hear Someone Who Puts On A Gtr Badge


Recommended Posts

I bet ya don't see VLs with Nissan badges :)

Well I dont think anyone really aspires to owning a Nissan. A GTR maybe and some of 4WD types like the Patrol but the Nissan badge itself, na. Far too many cod ordinary cars over too many years to establish any of the things the marketing types like to think the "brand" represents.

If you dont believe me check the number of GTR's with the Nissan badges removed....

I know I laugh at V6 commonwhores with chev badges, but chev badge on a chev powered car personally I have no issues with cause that is basically what it is

If you ever went to the middle East then you'd laugh a whole lot then, as the commodore is sold there as a Chev, not a holden.

Probably trying to avoid unwanted attention (every knucklehead trying to race them)

I've had my 32 since 2002 and I've had all manner of shit box try and race me, at one point I was going to put a GTS-4 badge on it but then I realised I should be proud of what my car is and just give the wannabes the bird and move on with my day

There used to be a Vl non-turbo in Ballarat that had one of those massive nismo front windscreen sticker/decal on the bonnet. :domokun:

Despite the usual hate on forums like this for local made stuff, the new stuff is actually very good for what it is. Certainly much better than what they are given credit for.

I have 2 Toyotas. :D

I also have Sony xplod stereo, may swap for jiz seat

Star wars ..Kinugawa turbo aren't even made In china you idiot...

Sorry they are made in Taiwan (like that makes it any better somehow), according to china taiwan is part of china and since im a chinese nationalist that supports the one-china policy Kinugawa is hence a chinese turbo, So please refrain from your insults Artz. Inb4 political debate.

Furthermore there has been a thread about these turbo's on SAU somewhere, where a vendor selling these turbo's has even expressed

concerns about sloppy quality control. Classic issue with parts come out of that region, the japanese got quality control down a decade ago

China and taiwan are still learning and catching up.

& the current VF commodore SS is sold as the Chevy SS in the states.

Haha yeah I'm shit stiring, my sister inlaw just bought a brand new SSV ute with the six speed manual and other then the shity clutch, I was quite impressed with how far they have come, my father inlaw has a 2002 SS ute and I think that is a massive POS

That shitty clutch is still light years ahead of the cable they were using even in the VS series. And the VU is regarded as one of the best looking commodore utes made. Try and pick up a VU maloo for cheap.

as in new holdens? Good?

They are cheaply made, they rattle left right and centre, and then they slap the price they do on them..

100k for a new GTS? get f**ked holden.

And they wonder why the factories are shutting down.

    • Welcome.  Glad to hear that you have gained some knowledge that has helped you. I believe the only fix for the power steer belt is an electric conversion with a Holden astra pump. If you get a chance, post pics of your car, please. 🙂
    • Just ordered those bosses, hopefully that does the trick thank you very much everyone for your replies it's really appreciated  
    • to have this type of adjustment possible with a curve as I wish, what budget (engine) should be planned?  
    • People still have Skylines? I thought they're non-existent now. 
    • Harness update time have had great fun and learnt so much already so far with this project. I started off making both the ignition and injector sub harnesses in the hope any mistakes i made here aren't as hard to undo and learn from as the main harness.  A cool comparison of the old harness using presumably TXL wire and the new which is using Tezel. Also opted to use DTM plugs to keep the whole setup as neat and tidy as possible and tucked the wiring under the coil bracket to try and keep it all from sticking out too much. Although the injector harness, I'm not overly happy with as I'm still using the rubber boots that are supplied with the type of plugs it just looks ugly and sticks out like a sore thumb with the white identifiers so a slight redesign may be done.   Then it was main harness time and most importantly trying to route it nice and away from the heat it will use the OEM heater hose routing which is no longer present to keep the harness up high and secure. it's amazing how much smaller this harness is able to be compared to the old one. plugged everything into the emtron and with the help of the tuner again attempted to start it up and instantly fired up and running smoothly on all 6 which was a big shock to myself. So still some routing and adjusting to be done for the final fit up and installing a knock sensor harness plug which is in the post all has gone surprisingly well.     The old harness for shits and giggles.
