Well,

I think this is all over nothing as the best time MOTOR magazine achieved for the HSV Clubsport R8 was 5.83sec 0-100 @29degC and 38% humidity.

This was performed in controlled conditions using the most aggressive driving techniques.

This is a long way short of the 5.5sec that Skylinekiller quotes as a "bad day" and as for 4.99 sec, that must of been a downhill run with a 150kmph tail wind.

Skyliner killer lost all credibility with me at that point.

Since those MOTOR boys now what there doing there might be a few more tenths better 5.83 than in cooler weather, so maybe 5.5 seconds on the best day.

Figures are in the latest PCOTY (on the shelves as of Monday) for the world to see.

haha so your agreeing that theres no point in a nissan 2.6L when you can get a mazda 1.3L

one uses a rotary one uses piston.

i can tell with the points you argue with that you have no idea.

so i lower my itelligence to your level and ask you y a holden need 5l compared to a nissan 2.6l

again, apples and oranges

you guys are absolute ****heads... **** off and die you bogan ****s...

seriously.. im sure ur car is nice.. whatever.. i like driving my skyline.. it is a great car

i hope there arnt many skylines owners that come on the LS1 forums and start talking shit

but man unless youve got something interesting to say.. like a conversion project or something just **** off...

i dont mind V8s.. i think supercharged 8s are good and the Lexus v8 range of engines are pretty cool too..

Someone **** this thread off it doesnt fo ANY of us any favors..

Your all wrong, until you have experienced Hemi 245- 2 barrel power, circa 1971 and 165hp, your all denying what real performance is:whackit: Throw it in a beautiful rust brown VF Valiant with a blue boot and your talkign the greatest race car i have ever owned...next to my 2.0L Brown Sigma:)

you were still arguing about his opinion as much as he was arguing about yours, so it makes you just as retarded. **** i laugh at internet fights, especially over cars when each party clearly has there own personal preference. surely you would realise he wont change his liking of v8's as much as you wont change your liking of skylines?

    • Yeah well per the video it took 15s for the stock unit to start up....even if I give it a few seconds discount for starting that is at least 12 sec before you get a reverse camera if you are trying to leave a park.  The android unit is way faster, but 2016 for the stock unit is a long time ago in consumer electronics
    • Yea that’s why I said ima test them with multimeter and see the reads.
    • Only at idle. Isn’t a problem when rev it seems.
    • @Haggerty This seems silly to ask, but are you confident in your ability to tune the Haltech?  
    • Next on the to-do list was an oil and filter change. Nothing exciting to add here except the oil filter is in a really stupid place (facing the engine mount/subframe/steering rack). GReddy do a relocation kit which puts it towards the gearbox, I would have preferred towards the front but there's obviously a lot more stuff there. Something I'll have to look at for the next service perhaps. First time using Valvoline oil, although I can't see it being any different to most other brands Nice... The oil filter location... At least the subframe wont rust any time soon I picked up a genuine fuel filter, this is part of the fuel pump assembly inside the fuel tank. Access can be found underneath the rear seat, you'll see this triangular cover Remove the 3x plastic 10mm nuts and lift the cover up, pushing the rubber grommet through The yellow fuel line clips push out in opposite directions, remove these completely. The two moulded fuel lines can now pull upwards to disconnect, along with the wire electrical plug. There's 8x 8mm bolts that secure the black retaining ring. The fuel pump assembly is now ready to lift out. Be mindful of the fuel hose on the side, the hose clamp on mine was catching the hose preventing it from lifting up The fuel pump/filter has an upper and lower section held on by 4 pressure clips. These did take a little bit of force, it sounded like the plastic tabs were going to break but they didn't (don't worry!) The lower section helps mount the fuel pump, there's a circular rubber gasket/grommet/seal thing on the bottom where the sock is. Undo the hose clip on the short fuel hose on the side to disconnect it from the 3 way distribution pipe to be able to lift the upper half away. Don't forget to unplug the fuel pump too! There's a few rubber O rings that will need transferring to the new filter housing, I show these in the video at the bottom of this write up. Reassembly is the reverse Here's a photo of the new filter installed, you'll be able to see where the tabs are more clearing against the yellow OEM plastic Once the assembly is re-installed, I turned the engine over a few times to help build up fuel pressure. I did panic when the car stopped turning over but I could hear the fuel pump making a noise. It eventually started and has been fine since. Found my 'lucky' coin underneath the rear seat too The Youtube video can be seen here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uLJ65pmQt44&t=6s
