He will probably be charged the $5000 escess which is due on a test drive.

Why the fu(k would a dealership allow a 19 year old to drive a car like that is beyond me anyway.

Somebody should send this to all medias and inform them of the reckless driving.....

But that will still incriminate all those young drivers who think they are good enough to drive high powered cars on their Ps.

BASS OUT

Just got back on here: RB30-POWER, wot ali said goes 4 me x 2. In addition, look at price differences. I'd stack $50k of R33 GTR against $50k of anything HSV offer, if they even have anything for that price. Even $95-$100k of HSV would be pushing it's luck to match the GTR, and even then only in a straight line. Remember corners?

You skyline drivers are so narrow minded.

HSVs are not slow.

you have to compait cars stock.

A stock R33 GTS-t runs

($25000)

0-100 in 6.95 seconds

0 - 160 in 15 seconds

400 m in 14.5 @ 157kph (High performance imports mag)

A stock 297kw LS2 clubsport runs

($67000)

0-100 in 4.99 sec

0 - 160kph in 11.85 seconds

400m in 13.01 seconds @ 178kph (motor magazine

(have seen slower times but these were motors quickest) )

R33 GTR stock

($100,000 new)

0-100 in 5 flat

0 - 160 in 12 seconds

400m in 13.3 seconds @167kph (High performance imports mag)

Now im a true HSV/Holden fan. But ill give credit to a good car.

The GTR is a good car. It will beat a HSV from standstill. But... stock. A LS2 HSV is

quicker than a Stock R34 GTR from a roll.... or after 60 kph

Stock R34 GTR 100 - 200kph in 11.5 seconds (British motormag)

VT GTS 300kw(brit version GEN III) in 10.0 seconds

Below. You can see GTRs 4WD advantage from 0 - 60kph

R33 GTR 0 - 60kph = 2.5 seconds (British car mag)

Clubsport R8 0 - 60 = 2.7 seconds (Motor)

But when tracktion is no longer an issue you can see the rolling performance of the clubsport

R33 GTR 60 - 100kph = 2.5 seconds (British car mag)

Clubsport R8 60 - 100kph = 2.3 seconds (Motor)

And more so up top

GTR 100 - 160 = 8 seconds (Brit car mag)

Clubsport 100 - 160 = 6.75 seconds (motor)

LS2 will obviously be alot quicker due to better top end breathing and high torque.

Now lets compair the The stock 297kw Clubsport with a stock GTS-t

A stock R33 GTS-t runs

0-100 in 6.95 seconds

0 - 160 in 14.2 seconds

400 m in 14.5 @ 157kph

A stock 297kw LS2 clubsport runs

0-100 in 4.99 sec

0 - 160kph in 11.85 seconds

400m in 13.01 seconds

A stock 297kw LS2 clubsport runs (On a bad day)

0-100 in 5.5 sec

0 - 160kph in 12.2 seconds

400m in 13.55 seconds

Now which car looks slow?

You cannot compair a stock car with a modified car.

Lets compair 2 equally, lightly modded GTS-t and HSV

225Rwkw GTS-T (60rwkw more than standard)

400m in 12.98 @ 107mph

287Rwkw LS2 Clubsport (60rwkw more than standard)

12.48 @ 113.7 mph

It apears that an equally worked Clubsport is still faster than the GTS-t with high MPH, which means top end wise.... the clubsport is pulling away from the GTS-t

My point is... stock bagging out HSVs saying there slow... cause obviously there not.

Yes there are 300rwkw GTS-ts..... but u cant compair it to a stock Clubsport... and then say its slow. Cause a stock Clubby will chew a stock Skyline.

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.

Is the LS6 a 7L v8, sorry but i dont really follow the corvettes or performance cars in usa.

How much worse will the fuel economy be i wonder considering in the motor magazine they claim the hsv r8 with the ls2 6L to suck down 29.5L/100km. Im sorry but i dont think i would be able to live with that sort of fuel economy, too much money wasted on petrol.

skylinekiller = ban

Why?

he is entitled to his opinion, just as you are.

I must say that I am sick of hearing B.S about stock GTST's taking down faster cars.

But by the same token when I am on the LS1 forums I am sick of hearing the B.S of stock HSV's taking down GT-R's and Porsches, both camps can be as bad as each other.

Me, I like all cars and can respect them for what they really are.

mate, when the hell did i say hsv's are slow. So maybe you should direct your comments at those who said they were, not generalise.

If you cant then go back to you holden forums if you are such a huge fan.

this is a skyline forum isnt it nex???

he obviously has no appreciation for what has been set up here

i reakon he is a member already that setup a new account just to express his biased opinions

just a joke nyways :)

    • Thanks for the reply @GTSBoy this is is a hydraulic lifter engine. Yea right i did not realise the lifters were supposed to be compressible while installed. I could push them down but i had to lean almost my while body weight on them.  I have never heard of a lifter/ lifters ticking only at hot idle and getting worse the hotter it gets. I have owned a few jdm cars with noisy lifters. This noise is slightly more subtle, it is more of a sharp gentle metalic tic than the solid and more loud tapping I've heard on lifters. I have used a metal rod, alloy tube, hose and stethoscope and could not find the source of the tick. But it appears to be loudest on the actual engine block behind the exhaust cam gear and next to the oil filter. I had mate (40 year old mechanic) go over it with me and he couldn't find it either..  Could it be a cam seal issue of some sort?  Cheers  
    • This seems problematic and unlikely at the same time. Vanilla RB2Xs have hydraulic lifters. They do have "zero" clearance, but only when running with oil pressure inside them. When not running, you should be able to compress them and obtain heaps of clearance. RB26s and Neos have solid lifters. They should have ~0.3mm and ~0.5mm on the inlet and exhaust respectively. If they have zero clearance then bad things are happening. With nothing else being wrong, it would mean that the valves would be held slightly (ever so slightly) open when they are supposed to be closed and it should have all sorts of problems when running, caused by leakage in/out through the valves. Or, zero clearance can indicate severe valve seat recession. None of it is good. Have you used a piece of hose as a stethoscope to try to localise the noise?  
    • Sorry for reviving an old post, but I'm having the same hot idle tick issue. Did anyone ever find out what it was?  I have checked/ replaced Injectors Coils checked Lifter clerance (is at zero) Checked Cam lobes Replaced exhaust gasket and studs Would appreciate any advice this is driving me nuts  
    • There's a huge reason manufacturers are tuning in dead flat torque curves... Make them reliable (and more drive able)
    • What HVAC actuator is under the steering wheel? Do you mean on the RHS of the centre console, immediately to the left of your shin? If so, then yes, it is probably that one, because that is the mode door actuator, and from what I know, it's still a pain in the arse to replace. I don't know about whole dash out, but you certainly have to rip into the centre console section. I don't know if it's covered in the workshop manual, as I haven't spent much time looking at those parts of it. (and by "the workshop manual, I mean the R32 GTR one, which is the most comprehensive one we have, and it should be similar enough between that and later cars to serve as a guide).
