Yes, yes, I'm back as was inevitable. I have been hanging around for a few weeks now, and thought it was time enough to start posting again. I did have a bit of a sook, but to be honest have actually been keeping myself busy after I got back from my USA trip. Got stuck into my new job, which has been pretty busy up till now. Started doing the gym again, slowly but better than nothing. But mostly been buying and selling cars for the last four or five months!
It started off with my brain snap by actually doing what I was talking about, bought a brand new VE SS-V Sportswagon manual, without even a test drive! Worst decision I have made yet! Looked awesome, interior was great, but drove like shit! I hated the drive line. The clutch was heavy, gearbox and diff was clunky, and the handling was too choppy. So ended up flogging that off, and only managing to loose on roads in the deal.
Unfortunately I flogged the grandpa EL before I realised all this, so was left without a car. So bought the first pos I came across to get by, 1990 Nissan Pulsar Vector! Zippy little thing, but not exactly a rocket. So found another car, AU number three! A series 3 XR6 auto, mint condition. Great car, but I promptly got bored of it and flogged that too. Made $2k on on, so scored on that! So, I still had the Pulsar, but being me, had to find something better.

Which brings me to my latest pickup, and hopefully last for a while. It's a 2000 AUII XR8 200kW manual! Had been looking at these for a while, and missed out on a few (one thanks to Shaun!!), but this popped up last week, and I jumped on it. Seem pretty good so far too. Done 125,000kms, and still feels pretty tight. Plus, it has all the options I was after!
-Premium Sound
-Premium Brakes
-Momo steering wheel
-Full body kit
It even has some extra Tickford alarm system on it! So yeah, I am pretty chuffed with it. Red isn't exactly my favorite colour, but with these options and jetting it for just under $10k, i couldn't pass it up! Plus, it should come good after a cut and polish i hope. Anyways, some photos:



So far I have ordered off ebay a BMC panel filter and a black Momo gear knob. I am going to see my exhaust bloke on the weekend to organise a cats back, most likely twin into 3" single. He says that's best for low down torque. Other than that, the only other things i would like to get at 220kW speck throttle body and roller rockers, and maybe a tune. For now, I am just enjoying having the V8 again, and it not costing me 11ty-billion in repayments!

Looks like a nice example. don't go too crazy with the mods and it should be fine :)

I can't believe you didn't like a new ss?? my mate has one and the clutch was pretty easy?? gearbox would have loosened up after a few k's too.. But up to you i guess!

Hahaha, I knew I would get a laugh out of the responses, you blokes are funny! :P Especially Dave, trust you to pick out a mistake like that!! :lol:

Ok, firstly, about the SS. When I say the clutch was heavy, I mean heavier than I expected. I mean, it’s hydraulic, so I figured it would be nice and easy. It was a great car, but not for me. Anyway, the biggest factor for getting rid was the repayments. Unfortunately the gravity of what I had undertaken only hit me after the purchase. So yeah, it was short lived.

Really Bentleigh? Lol, just no!

Thanks Nut, I think you know what I mean about the SS. Haha, I actually did test drive like 4 or 5 boosted cars before I got this. I was looking at R33 Skylines, but couldn’t find one that would suit as a daily, too hard and loud. I meant as in there seems to be like 3 new AU XR8’s to here now! I actually drove the one Shaun bought, and would have bought it too! Lucky though, this one has better options, sorry Shaun! :P

Thanks heaps John, appreciate it mate! Yeah, doing good so far, lost just over 4kg in the last month or so. I have been challenged by a couple of the fitness fanatics at work to get myself fit enough to do whatever 10km run is coming up in Melb mid year. I think it’s the Mothers Day run or something? I’ll see how I go.

Hahah, I actually do have a gf now too, so yes to the above!! :P I just didn't think it was worth mentioning anymore.

Excatly right Danny, you know where I am coming from! Nah, I loved that 220, I don’t remember dissing it despite being auto. That thing ran a 14.7 bog stock! I only sold it cos I lost my job, or else I’d probably still have it. Much better colour too, Narooma is my favorite. I wouldn’t mind bringing this thing up to 220 spec, maybe just a bit more. I have been eyeing off a series 3 throttle body on ebay, not sure if it will make a difference though. Exhaust will come first though, its not V8 enough for me at the moment!

Thanks Josh, she's not exactly perfect, but you get what you pay for I guess! I hope to slowly turn this one into a keeper, as I am partial to the AU. After all, this is now AU number four!!

I dunno man, that thing felt stronger than this one does, especially up top. I took this thing out for a decent drive last night, and it doesn't feel all that quick to be brutally honest. I thought it would have more in the mid range, but I guess it is an early series 2. The drive last night revealed a couple of things that need attention before the exhaust now, mainly what feels like the diff. So if that is the case, I'll rebuild it and maybe even go 3.7s to liven it up a bit.

As for the Commodore, lets just say it was more than a third of my wages just in repayments! Plus, I only managed to get a best of 350kms out of a tank while I owned it, and it apparently had a bigger 70-odd litres! The test drive didn't bother me at the time, as I just figured being a new car it would be fine. Big mistake! :banghead:

Took this thing on a trip up the highway this weekend, and it performed fairly well. Managed to total just over 500kms out of my first tank, which I am happy with. The clutch feels fine, doesn’t slip or anything, hooks up ok with a few revs. The diff is pegging though, so it looks like that is now my first point of attack.
So, now the decision comes as to how I go with it. My first thought has always been KAAZ, I have had a hard on for those things for a while. Just not sure if it will be too harsh for a daily though. I will not be wasting any more money on another LSD rebuild, that’s for damn sure. So the only other alternative I can think of is a Detroit Truetrac centre. From what I have read so far, they are quite good.

It sure is looking that way dude! Stock LSD FTL, I have already killed two of them (one brand new) and don't care to go for a third. It doesn't look like Detroit make one to suit my diff, so might not have much of a choice!

IIRC Harrop sell trutracs for E-Series but not IRS vehicles... The only reason I have a Stock LSD is I got it cheap, and the Lokka was driving me up the wall. It got rebuilt before the car it was in got smashed, infact, I'm pretty sure that it was the first drive the dude smashed it. It's so tight, it skips the inside wheel at the moment.

The last thing I want is to be skipping around my work carpark trying to park the thing, looking like a tool!! This is why I was wanting to avoid a LOKKA type or any sort of spool.

They do, but I am trying to find out if they make one suitable for my diff, doesn't look like it though.

Edit: Looks like Harrop are the only ones who make one suitable for the BW, no info on Eaton yet. The Truetrac is $1650 direct from Harrop.

Yeah, there was no way I was getting a lokka anyway, I would rather do it properly this time. I have had opinions from both sides of the fence, but from what I can ascertain the pros and cons go like this:

TrueTrac – Pro: much quieter/smoother operation, no servicing required once installed, no run in required. Con: Prone to wearing out eventually, a little more expensive initially
KAAZ – Pro: Stronger unit, more predictive locking operation, less expensive to buy. Con: Noisier operation, periodic (expensive) oil changes required, requires run in after installation.

The only other place I haven’t though about talking to though is Mal Wood. Not sure what they can offer, if someone would like to help me out with info there? Specifically the northerners?

The last diff builder asked me that same question, and I said no. I then paid $2k for a brand new BW LSD, gears and bearing, and proceeded to destroy it within 12 months. Plus, that was with the almighty 148rwkW of NA I6 goodness in my first AU! So I have already decided to spend the money this time to not have to worry about it. My driving style is pretty rough, so I want to build a drive line that can take it. I would like to keep this car for a while if I can help it.

PM sent to OED666. :)

kaaz doesnt require expensive oil changes... Thats only if you use the KAAZ oil they sell.... Ive been using LSX90 in mine
for years, as its much cheaper... Plenty of other guys doing the same.... Never had a drama

Oh cool as, thanks for the info mate! So how long roughly have you had yours then? How hard do you drive your car, and how has it held up? Also, how do you find it for low speed parking and the like?

Come for a drive in mine with a Kaaz Ev - not one bit of noise, no chattering etc. It's literally as quiet as stock.

You only run the exxyy Kaaz oil for the run in period, then use Castrol after that which is less than half the price. PM me if you still want that Harrop Truetrac price.
