:rofl: This is great. I am not sure of the fully story, but apparently some young guy was being followed by an undercover TMU car, driving like a knob, and then apparently mounted the curb, hit another car and did a bit of a launch into the dealership.

Can somebody provide a full link to the news story?

He is 23 and was doing 160 kph and lost it when someone pulled out infront of him. I think he will be (effecively) working for an insurance company for a long while to come to pay off the damage costs.

spot the holden driver in this thread :P
LOL, if you think HSV's are slow, you should wake up.

Typical comment from a skyline driver i guess.

Think skylines are the fasteset thing around

LOL......the truth hurts doesn't it?

lol,

Nah i just think you are ignorant and have no idea if you think a HSV is that slow compared to a gtst with a fully sick pod filter sucking hot air. (Almost all i see)

:P

Firstly am I ignorant, or are you afraid of the truth? :P

Let's talk top of the range. HSV is Holden's top of the range vehicle. GTR is Nissan's top of the range vehicle. Stock on Stock any GTR will beat any HSV. That's a fact.

....oh yeah and most GTST's with a frontmount intercooler running a bit of extra boost will put most HSV's away....hardly anyone these days with a turbo skyline fits it with JUST a pod.

Apparently he's going to be screwed, and rightly so, the police took him away within 15 minutes.

He was swerving erratically through traffic before that happened.

The HSVs have got the LS2 don't they? 6.0L V8 297 kw?

Don't they get the LS6 soon? The 7.0l V8? Strange thing about that one is it revs to 7K on the Corvette.

Wow thats some crazy damage! I'm amazed its not all over the media.. i guess it doesnt make for an interesting story when theres any kind of locally delivered car involved.

Could the bickering between holden and nissan owners please cease. We all know that the GTR is superior to any HSV, just drop it.

Ali: You sure your a GTR owner, if it is somehow true, could you please sell it and buy a HSV? Thanks.

Someone mentioned he was test driving the car. Assuming it is correct, what are your responsibilities when taking one for a spin?

i.e. Are you fully liable for any damage you may inflict? Is the dealer who handed you the keys have any responsibility?

Surely demonstartion vehicles must have to have some sort of cover?

    • Hi Rob It's a nistune ecu. Yes same shop, good reputation. Apparently the computer on the dyno is compensated for temperature.    Chris was saying that the lean or richness of the mixture would be covered in the actual tune, but he's already picking up in advance that it's under what it should be. Regards the dyno, it's also noticeable on the road. But I just want to add something that has just come in, it appears there might be something in the setup of the external wastegate. In the exhaust manifold there is a centre divider between the front three and rear three cylinders. The external wastegate has a pipe from each side that join at the wastegate. Theory is those two pipes just might be pypassing that divider and introducing a problem somehow. Is anyone familiar with the divider in the exhaust manifold and the effects if the two wastegate pipes were to create a bypass path? Thanks for your questions Rob, interested in your thoughts on this external wastegate bypass theory. Regards Rob
    • Meh, At 60 years old, I have been doing dumb stuff for much longer than you mate, I am the true King And unfortunately I cannot be a maroon, as I am not brownish red As for not getting ITB's, the plenum intake will apparently show typical gains across the board and increase induction noise a bit, but, have all over less dort than ITB's Cost difference for the extra ITB dorts was significant though, the total parts for the plenum set up is "around" $2kAUD plus shipping, the ITB's were $4kAUD plus shipping, I was contemplating really hard about paying the extra $2k for all of the dorts, but weirdly, some form of common sense, from listening to the platform experts prevailed  As for the NA mod hate by some, I've had a few boosted cars, with all their inherent issues, I'm now looking at simplicity and legalities for a street car, maybe I'm just getting old, and I'm quite happy to spend some of the kids inheritance, 5kw at a time 🤣 And think of all the money I'll be saving on consumables that something with boost needs, like engines, gearboxes, diffs, clutches,  tilt trays... etc. etc. etc. 🤪
    • Haha.  I wouldn't say I am either but I've definitely been around it plenty.  I'm guessing you know the dial in is basically to make a handicap to level the playing field between racers.  The car with the slower dial in goes first and in theory if they run their dial in time and the faster car also does then they cross the finish time if they also have exactly the same reaction time - if you go faster than the dial in them you lose, but if you are too slow there's a good chance the other person will get to the finish line first. I'm normally supporting other cars but they were all pretty dialled and were egging me on to race as well, here's one of the cars I tune (Starlet) which ran within like 1 hundredth of its dial in through the competition: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=inEBu-d9Gn4&t=69s
    • Where ever the fuel reg gets it reference is what I use to T into for map reference been a very long time so where it goes to plenum/runners I have no idea but never had issues. 
    • What ecu? Same shop every time? Same ambient temperature? If timing is correct then pull plugs and see if lean or rich. Dyno can also read different if they have changed ramp rate or not set tacho/speed properly
