hehe, I doubt however that the "tune it yourself" ones take into consideration any bolt on extras you might have. Does anyone know, if you have to tell these guys your setup (exhaust, CAI, etc) and then they send you the tune appropriate for that setup? Or if it's a 1 size fits all approach...

Welcome to JustCommodores China edition where everything you say can and will be censored! Muppet. People are entitled to their opinion and I sure as hell hate seeing a good aussie car with a f**king american badge on it.

Older model cars to new cars? ok then. My 360AWHP R32 GTR skyline, 20 year old car, BLOWS AWAY VE Maloo's, VE SS's etc. Not a very good comparison now is it? 11.9 seconds vs what, 13.x, now thats not fair is it. Beside the point. The VX S/C's were good off the line but the SV6's catch em at...

Sorry bout that, my bad, I meant the VX supercharged models.

Mild steel is cheaper and rusts easier. A mild steel exhaust will last you FAR less amount of time than a stainless steel system.

Yeah but Junny, the VZ SV6's cain the VY supercharged vehicles anyways. Having said that, a good supercharger upgrade on the VY would make it honk a bit. Reaper is secretly working on a new "remote crank" system called "invisicharger" , dead serious heh.

hahaha, no, can't hide it dude. Reason being they stick out like dogs balls and have a distinctive whine aswel. You'd have to have a shroud fabricated to "hide it" but if a nosey copper decides to ask you whats under it, you're done for. Not only that but having all the piping and FMIC...

Yeah dude, thems the ones. You CAN get it off without breaking them, but you'd have to work for holden or something and have been shown how to hehe. The clips are just a throwaway item pretty much

I had same thing happen to me when I owned mine mate, think it was about $5 or something for the plastic clips, just replace em, they are a bitch to take the old ones out and put the new ones in though coz as I remember they are a clip in and they superglue em into place. However once you got...

should never see ANY light, period...

I used to be a huge advocate for modified power from a V6, but then just started looking at all the mods and the amount of cash you need to be able to first get yourself to V8 power level and then to move past it, and it's a SHITLOAD cheaper to just buy a V8 and mod that, spend less money...

heh, I'll take my 360awhp skyline over a $2k 25hp increase anyday :) No, it's not worth the upgrade. Your best upgrade would be to sell the car and buy a V8, upgrading power on a V6 is throwing money in a black hole. If it were viable to produce more power from the motors cheaply, the...

bahahahaha, they look crap :D worse even than riced-lancer tail lights ... and they're pretty bloody fail......

It's drilled into the steel brace behind it using some tech screws. Just have to make sure that you get the right size so as they don't penetrate the seat-back heh. Apart from that, win.

Have a look for my old SV6 in "My Rides" section, I have some pics of the boot. You'll see where I mounted the Amp, get a good wiring kit and mount it there IMO, out of the way and more space to breathe when it gets a little hot as opposed to under a passenger seat.

Adjustable bilsteins with coilovers ftw. Have em on my GTR and F**K ME they are good. Set of C spanners and presto, lower or riase yourself.......

Yearp :( I was just starting to cook up an idea to put a 2jz in it too hahahah. Damn it. I'd probably say give a magazine outfit a call and see if they can recommend their photographers or if they know of any around the area, I am sure that they'd hook up with photographers in areas they travel...

Your's I would say would be an exception :)

I reckon just go to the holden website and grab a few piccies from there, how many stock SV6's are there running around these days...

:D All the work to the car was done by X-Speed in O'connor and was tuned by Ant Scali himself. I have receipts for EVERYTHING that has ever been done to the car and permits for the modifications aswel. The guy who used to own it only sold it because he just bought another R32 GTR that the guy...

All sounds well and good, but you got your intiger the wrong way around, shoulda used < :D

Just put a deposit on an IMMACULATE R32 GTR skyline today running 360awhp @ 16psi :) The thing is UNBELIEVABLY quick. New HKS turbo's and they spool a bit quicker (just after about 2200rpm) with actuators aswel (so no pressure is lost). Knowing me though I'll be back in a holden in about a...

Yeah, it was one of the old articulated busses, but even IF it had recording camera, it would have shown him running a red.

You noticed that too huh? I found the shifter button on the back seat hehe. On another note, I am giving my run of Holden ownership a rest for the time being, currently in the market for an R33 or R34 skyline. Always wanted a skyline just been too much of a Holen man to enjoy one heh. First...

hahah nice one TVR. Gap cover is so that if for example your car is written off (exhibit A:) and the payout amount is not enough to cover the finance payout amount, then the gap insurance means that they (the people I have gap insurance with) will pay out the remainder of that loan anywhere up...

hahah yeah agreed, I always imagined that if someone wrote me off and I was still conscious that I would knock em' out, but with the adrenaline pumping and the shock of it all right there in your face, you can't really think about much else but "holy sh*t, my car's totalled...." Was just looking...

$18,500 I had loan insurance and GAP cover and all that **** too so I am not going to be out of pocket at all, was financed heh.

MOAR PICS!!!.......

Yeah, I had loan insurance and gap cover insurance on it all too so I won't be out of pocket at all. Hell, the rego I paid on Friday before the crash is even being reimbursed...

Awww jeeeehhhh!!!! Just got phone call from me insurance company, the VZ is officially a complete write-off. heh. Just went down and collected sub+amp from the car and some other personal effects and took some more pics. I'll post em up once I get this fkn work computer of mine to behave and...

Nice :) Well the reason I am getting a caution is because I failed to give way to an oncoming vehicle, regardless of whether or not he ran a red light, pretty screwed up huh? I'm just glad all I get is a caution, he's the one with the infringement. So based on that outcome, I am not worried...

I have a feeling it's something like that. He has received an infringement whereas I only received a caution.

I just spoke to Transperth trying to get a hire car out of them because of the incident, they are refuising to accept liability for it claiming they have a witness who says the bus driver only ran a yellow .... as opposed to the 6 witnesses I have who will swear blind that he ran a red. Not...

Haha the bus had a bit of fibreglass damage on the front right at the impact area and that was about it. Those things weigh 18 tons, didn't even flinch. Scary stuff :(

hahaha nice one Fat :D Yeah I figured if I had of been further forward, even though my car has the side airbags, I would probably still be in hospital for sure. And yeah Travy, now is a good time to be buying a car hehe. I've had enough of auto's for the time being now too, want a manual ....

Haha yeah the airbags smelled terrible. Fortunately I was witting back in me seat and didnt cop a face full. Made the loudest bloody sound exploding too. Probably because the Windows were up.

so I was crossing to the right of screen (on the pics) and I am now facing south bound on west coast highway (originally north turning right onto hale (east)). The force of the impact was so ****ing hard, (on the passenger side front) taht the drivers side headlight assembly ended up on the...

Yeah I have full compo, and I also have 6 witnesses who will testify hand on bible that the bus driver ran the red. However the crash scene coppers reckon there might be an infringement in it for me for failing to wait for all traffic to stop, regardless the fact that I was in the right and he...
