nuthn beats seeing the face of a new monaro 255 owner gettn chewed by a pretty stock r32 gts-t. been there, done that, and just to think.....theyve spent 70 odd grand on that cheaply build aussie shit car. and a note to all you bogans out there, PUSHRODS ARE DEAD!!

I agree with akeenan, if you are in front you have the right to end it! I always stop 10 to 20kms over da speedlimit. But yeah, it's so true how they always speed off into the distance! I always hit hazards if I win, but I might switch to indicators, it's less of an effort!

i thought the Gen III V8 only makes like 225kw... actually i'm pretty damn sure of that. It was nearly 30 kw's less than the 3.2L Straight six M3 .....hahahahha, nice one holden.

what a waste of.... litres and cyclinders and stuff...

My car has all the usual bolt-on mods including a bigger turbo, but not enough for 300rwkw! I'll get there eventually though. See my sig'. There's a few GTS25t's owners here with 300+rwkw.

Very nice! 13.1 in street trim is an awesome time! I am hoping for low 13s after my first round of mods.

Correct 225kw, but they are in fact detuned in stock form they produce 250kw in the US But Holden detuned them for our market. Mind you with just an exhaust and a rewrite of the software with LS1 edit and you are looking at 230rwkw. Not bad for $3k. Also I know of a new 225kw Holden ute that ran consistant 12.2 at EC with only exhaust, LS1 edit and a small cam.

Thanks mate. Yeah I've only ever run in street trim.

It should go a bit quicker again as I've done quite a bit of work & gained a few rwkw since that run.

Hope ya' nail low 13's mate.

I would not be so quick to put down an LS1 powered commodore, i own one a VX berlina( MY tow car) and a R33 GTST, unfortunately currently my LS1 is quicker than my skyline, commy runs a 13.3 with only exhaust , diff gears and tune. The Gtst runs a 13.8 with higher boost exhaust pod filters and chip. Now me and my brother have raced them and the berlina is a good 5 cars quicker from a standing start, of coarse we swapped drivers to make sure and again pulled the same, so what begain as my tow car for my boat has now started to pull funds away from the skyline mod account.

the ls1 is a mean motor. I know there are plenty of fairly slow stock commodores around sporting them, for instance the GTS monaro I hosed this morning on the freeway on ramp. But it doesn't take much to free up the power lurking beneath and there are some very good street weapons just waiting to show a gtst how mortal it is (even if it doesn't look very good doing it).

boys I am an import lover as much as the next. But you guy have got to watch out for the pushrod motor... they are very angry when they are derestricted. remember the quickest "street" cars in australia and america aren't powered by fuel injected, over head cam wizardry... top fuels?? no computers and technology... just top gun performance.... but just the same... I really really love my imports.... they can drive you around australia and then run 11's and that is awsome....

    • 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!
    • Welcome Alice......hope you have a bit more luck from here on! What was done in the build?  
    • 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!
    • 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.
