are you all laughing as histerically as I am?? Awesome thread.

1.) Chickys love the V8s mate. The 16 yr old teeni girls love the skylines.

The older women are the ones who want the V8s... cause the guys that drive them are men.

She doesn't look to old to me? LOL! hope you didn't buy that V8 to 'pull chicks' cause i don't think it's working for you bro

Taken from another forum

I've been researching Holden for quite a bit now, and its just making me hate them more and more. For those of you who wish to spout fact whenever somebody gives you that 'Ford Sucks' bullcrap; perhaps we should be discussing Holden's engineering skills?

1986: They needed a 6 that ran on unleaded. They didnt know how to make one. They bought Nissan's RB30 instead.

1988: Right they have a VL/Opel Monza that they have made to look bigger by turning it into a VN. Now they needed a new engine again. They still didn't know how to make engines so they asked Buick to send us some V6's. Were they shocked when they took them out of the box and the instructions said "For front-wheel drive applications only". Not to worry, some shoddy pipe reworking and a new clutch housing will fix that.

"OK. Now we need a four-speed auto, too" Again, they had to source them from the US and decided to get probably what I believe to be the worst auto I have experienced in my life.

1997: OK So they decided to grab the Omega platform because it came with free IRS. Little did they know that most manufactures stopped using trailing arms a LONG time ago. Not to worry. The Volkswagon Beetle look is sure to become popular again.

1999: "Damn this infernal 5.0L. We keep adjusting the fuel mixture but cant get anymore out of it. Let's get Chevrolet to send us some of their left over LS1's." They obviously were not too concerned about any issues relating to alloy engines.

That about sums it up.

PS: This isn't brand bashing at all. Its simply facts, guys. I can't see why we can't discuss the competition in whatever light because if at the end of the day, Ford make a better product.

So if we end up mixing 172 GM company's worth of parts, we'll end up with a Holden.

I call it Confetti.

    • 65601-05U00 is the hood latch. 62550-08U31 is the support that holds it to the radiator core support. They are all super discontinued so I don't really have any great leads on how to source this stuff.
    • GTSBoy on your suggestion on another thread I had a look at those injectors and ended up getting them because of the quality.  Got the expensive ones.  
    • Hey guys been looking everywhere to try and find the correct gtr hood latch support part number but only found the first half and when I search with that number it sends me to an r34. The first part I found was 62515. If anyone could help me with the rest then I’d really appreciate it. Or if there’s some alternative hood latch support that would work even better cause I can’t find any for sale. (Searched on upgarage, partsouq,buyee,rhdjapan) 
    • If you've only done the upper control arms on the rear, AND you have changed their length (by more than about 1mm) to set the camber you want, then you will definitely need/want to install traction arms also. Adjusting the camber arms on their own WILL introduce bump steer and make the car unpleasant to drive. Most owners have no idea that their car could behave infinitely better than what they put up with. I'm not entirely sure what the Stageas need, but I am thinking that unless you have massive front spring rates and pretty soft rear springs, you have waaaay too much rear bar. Oversteer city, in my estimation. Combined with possible excessive bump steer from maladjusted arms, that could be a recipe for nastiness. ATR43SS2 is not a highflow. It is an outright replacement turbo. It's a little bit bigger than the largest highflow profile that Tao does. Probably a solid 300rwkW turbo where the bigger highflows will be about 30-40rwkW less. Nevertheless, we're only talking about ~300 rwkW, which is well within the abilities of the stock ECu to run with a Nistune on board. I would do so without hesitation - and I will be doing so when I get my finger out and actually get the injectors and AFM installed. But, if you would prefer to drop a whole lot more money on the ECU side, then I suspect you're looking at Haltech. The Haltech fanbois here will all spout on about all the available engine protection you can have, that you can't have with the Nistune option. And they're right. But it doesn't really come for free either. You will spend more money on extra sensors and the like, plus the work to install them. If the engine was built and therefore represented a big investment to protect, then I'd say definitely do it. If you view the current (and forever into the future) shortage of replacement engines as something to prompt similar protection, then also, do it. If you see a destroyed RB25 as an opportunity to put in a Mercedes or other V12 (like I kinda do)... then your perception of the risk/reward might differ. These are good injectors. You can also get a "better" set of the same with more flow matching, for more $$. 1000cc is where you will want to be. You will need an R35 AFM and adapter tube if you want to stay with Nistuned stock ECU. Otherwise, if going Haltech, you can ignore. As for intercooler. Just about anything will do. You're only talking about ~300rwkW. Just put a big core in there. Be aware that return flows do add significant pressure drop and will cost power and will make the turbo work harder to achieve the same goals. If you can manage a proper crossflow, do it. I'm keeping my very good return flow because I'm only expecting to be in the ~250rwkW range, and will live with whatever outcome I get.
