Hi guys, just saw on the Motor Show web site that Holden has unveiled the new Torana concept... I think it's based on a GM sports concept but it's packing the 3.6l V6... with TWIN TURBOS. Claimed power is 280kW.

I'm not sure how the drive train is set up, but i'd assume it to be FR (i hope anyway).

Apparently there will be a full write up in tomorrows Daily Telegraph Cars Guide.

Cheers.

Now that's nice. A TT HFV6 in a great looking car that isn't tank sized. Where do I sign up :P

Up until recently, I really disliked the local offerings. Pushrods and SOHC with no proper VVT were the best you could get. Pathetic for this day and age really. Now they actually make something worth buying. It looks like the Aussie car industry is finally getting its act together.

A V8 option would be nice, but since it's Holden, it would be the LS1 or LS2. Not my cup of tea - especially when there's a 3.6L TT V6 available. I think it would become like the BOSS engine for the Falcon - the 4.0 turbo engine is simply better all round. Ford had to offer that in their Falcon range because people expect a V8. In a "new" model like the Torana, they could just make it a 6 cylinder platform.

Guys, I always promised myself that if Holden bring out a Twin Turbo Commodore or variant that I will buy one.

Here's hoping that when my lease runs out on the R34 that the TTV6 will replace it.

i doubt anyone here could afford it, it would be pretty pricey. Head rest TV's, 20 inch rims, 8way electric seats... etc would make it expensive (even if they become factory options)

My bet would be that it wont get off the ground, doesnt look economically feasable to produce in my opinion

      High temp brake fluid?

      By Komdotkom · Posted

      Reasonably hard, although I haven't run it with the new Endless setup yet. The old brakes were F50's on 335mm rotors and the car did a 1:40.6 at Phillip Island which is a reasonable time, I'm seeing high 600s on the temperature paint. A guy I know ran the Endless fluid at WTAC without issues and he was doing 1:33's I think (Evo) with a 355/332 setup. I don't get out to the track as much as I'd like but we put the car on the hoist and spanner check every bolt and re-paint mark everything, bleed the brakes, change the fuel, check the coolant system and re-bleed blah blah blah before every event. Motorsport is expensive, RB's are expensive so a couple of hours before an event is time well spent. It's also a net time saving because if you can keep your RB from self destructing it saves you time in the long term!

      Hello! I'm new here, I have an R33 GTST that is currently being finished up! Last year was pretty rough, blew two stock turbos so I decided to build the car. Has been down since November, but I get it back next weekend!

      Hello, I believe my car was imported to America in the 2000s by Kaizo Industries. Would anyone be able to help me find more info on them? I've only found all the basic stuff like that paul walker bnr34, them being shutdown by feds, just stuff like that. Any help would be much appreciated, thanks!

      HKS Vcam Step Pro Issues

      By believer · Posted

      I am using Motec M150.  I am not working on the car myself actually.  My workshop is giving all these info, they are quite reputable in the industry and are very familiar with Motec and RBs and have done a few big setups with VCam and single turbo on RBs.  In fact, they built and tuned my engine from day one.  But they are stumped with my engine at the moment and cannot work out how come the compression is so low with the VCam. They told me that they have now swapped in some Kelford cams (without the VCam) and can achieve around 130psi compression and the low end torque is better, but now the engine is doughy as.  It boosts and peaks at more than 1000rpm slower, with twin HKS GTIII RS, it doesn't get full boost until over 5000rpm. I have always thought the VCam was a bit disappointing at the low rpm. To a point I had to ride the clutch a fair bit to get up a small hill from stand still.  That was when I had a clutch.  Now changing to a 8HP, I don't have that luxury and this problem has become a major issue. I am beginning to think the VCam never work since the day it was installed.  Maybe it was just sitting at the most advanced point, that is why it went good at top end but very ordinary at the bottom.  Therefore, with the help of the Holinger 6 speed and paddle shift, as long as it was moving, it drove pretty good.
