It doesn't have to be yours, just some nice pic's of Aussie Holdens will do!

Here's mine and another I'd like to own. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="gr_grin.gif" />

Here's a pic of my bomb!

Here's a couple of pics of my present cars.
VY SS. LS1, Auto, Red leather interior (2002)
LJ 202cubic inch 6cyl Manual (1973)
Last car was a devil yellow Monaro and before that a VX11 SS in hyper yellow with colour leather..

A GTR? :bow: It must be tempting to do an LS1 transplant in that little thing. ;)

Here is few pics of my car.

I love that copper colour! Wish we had that here as an option on the GTO.

That copper Holden is one sexy bitch.

Thanks Chaps - Tiger Gold is the correct name. It does make the car look stunning.

BUT it also performs stunning and like a beast.

I've already posted my existing cars, a VY SS and LJ GTR

So here's 3 of my previous cars..
in no particular order. Devil yellow CV8, Hyper yellow VX series 2 SS and a VS exec.

[IMG] this is my ride

Those are some really good looking cars guys!

That Ute is sweet! I say we ship it to the states put a bowtie on it and call it an El camino!

Thought I'd use my first post to upload these pics of the HRT427.

VX II HSV GTS (lookalike) :drive:

What's with all the trailer hitches? :)

So we can pull the trailer with the BBQ on it and/or pull Fords out of the mud but most importantly, to re-arrange your shin bone when you pass behind the car at the supermarket! That last one really smarts the eyes!!!
Mainly rear end protection - it fairly sorts out the radiator of anyone who dares to rear end us!
Mike

Very nice rides guys.

Is getting rearended a BIG problem in aussie land? Nice rides, I wish we had more choices for LS1 powered cars in the States, we just have Camaro(gm R.I.P.ed)Firebirds aka TA's,Formula's(gm also R.I.P.ed), Vettes and the New GTO which U guys already Know. GM should have spent more money on redesignng the FBodies instead of building the Freakin SSR(sorry had to Vent some Steam) Very Nice Rides U aussies have!!!

My nephew was rear-ended by a young "P" plate driver a few weeks ago - fairly wrecked the rear end and bent the floor and roof line and closed up the door openings.
His tow bar cracked the block of the FWD.
The young 'P" plater was messaging on the mobile phone at the time, and over "zero" tolerance and in deep trouble as a result - all insurances become null and void.

The tow bar generally offers good protection in car parks, etc.

Mike

The body kit on the red one is SWEAT. where did you get it and who makes it?

C.A.P.A supercharged monaro. avalible with 380-700hp motors.

Man, Y'all Aussies seem more American than some Americans!!! I want to go down under!!!

Why not! :D

Sweet pics guys.

I would kill to get a 4 dr LS1 car over here.

The body kit on the red one is SWEAT. where did you get it and who makes it?

Its a genuine HSV (Holden Special Vehecle) body kit.
The HSV GTS is a factory 300 KW (400 hp) model over here & comes Mafless !!!

There are plenty of fiberglass copys of this kit floating around.

Sweet pics guys.

I would kill to get a 4 dr LS1 car over here.

My thoughts exactly--those 4 door Holdens rock!! :headbang:

Too bad we can't get them here. :cry:

whats the carbon fiber looking intake on that thing???hts 427 or somthign

whats the carbon fiber looking intake on that thing???hts 427 or somthign

The HRT 427 was a concept car that almost made it to manufacture - there were to be a limited no at around $180,000 AU

the intake is an 8 throttle body set up ,the carbon fiber ram tubes are covered by a box feed by 2 air boxes ,1 either side of the engine bay.

There are several 8 throttle body set ups manufactured in AUS.

this is ALL news to me!! nice cars!

I want that dual exit exhaust!!

Here's mine:

Where can we get more information on these setups?

Where can we get more information on these setups?

Go here: http://www.samsperformance.com.au site is not finished, but click on "customer cars" there's a few pics in there. Email Sams or send a PM to Planb, he'll point you in the right direction.

Don't have a decent photo of mine, but it is like this with the 18" version of the GTO wheels on it & not quite as low !
VY Quicksilver SS at Calder (http://home.iprimus.com.au/rogerramjet/VYSS%20Quicksilver/calder%5F03%5F032%5F20b%2Ejpg)

Know it isn’t as good looking as some of the other pic’s that have been posted but heres a couple of my VY ONE TONNER just after I got it home from the dealer. Its powered by an LS1 and has only been slightly tuned with HP Tuners VCM Suite at the moment. I do plan on changing the exhaust from the stock 2 ¼ to something a little better as well as a few other mod’s .If anyone has a stock ss or hsv 04 commodore bin file would be great to see them here http://www.horist.com/hptuner/home.asp?page=home

This is a little different, Holden's long wheelbase sedan Statesman and in this case it's a 2002 WHII 'International LS8' which was a limited edition of 350

Best 1/4 mile time so far is 12.872@106.25mph

Plan B's ute.
I wasn’t quite sure what to write when I first posted these videos , like the sound of the engine on the dyno and from what I have read this was a very conservative tune with only 12 deg of advance at wot and running rich . It did make 490 rw/hp . The ¼ mile run was done on street tyres and there is a lot more in it .

Question and I know this is off-topic, but since the cars have been there for a while, would it not be cheaper to import some performance parts for teh GTO directly from Australia? If any of you guys would like to PM me, let me know what prices are like out there for parts and maybe we can set something up?!

Here's some of my ride

Evening,

Sorry but in, but the true colour as per Aussie specs is Tiger Mica.
Nice to see that you are happy with the performance. PM me with your specs and how you got the car?
QUOTE=jagsy]Thanks Chaps - Tiger Gold is the correct name. It does make the car look stunning.


Cheers.

Evening,

Thanks so much to Todd for hosting the pic. This is one of the really positive ways in which the Net can be used.
We, like you call this a Station Wagon and I have been very pleased with the fact that I can motor around in what appears to be a "Family Grocery Cart" and still put down 13.7's and have over 400hp.
Raises a few looks from the "Ricers" when all they see is your rear number plate :D :D :D

Happy to share more details if anyone is interested.
Also would love some information on the type of Over the radiator Cold Air Intakes you folk are using.

Go the "Family Wagooon"

Cheers,

Hogs, ;) ;)

Thought i would post mine as well :)

Is the Ute a Chevrolet or a Holden because all the ones in this thread definitely have bowtie grilles and badges. I really like the Holden caprice and HSV Grange, which seem to be built on a rear-drive version of US impalas and stuff.

The Ute is a Holden . People in Australia put the bowtie grilles and badges to make them look different or stand out , some would argue how much of them is made in Australia . Engine from the US , wheels made in Taiwan (was a little shocked when i saw that cast in to the back the factory alloy's) but they are an Australian car . :|

pretty interesting rides here, I like the pickup versions, pretty neat.

Slight correction in terminology if I may!

Pick ups are "US F150 plus type" vehicles!

Utes (yoots) short for utilities are Australian identifiers applied to sedan based frames with goods carrying capabilities of approx 1 tonne .

now i want to move.......

One of the cars in the previous page of photos aka blown 300 which is a Senator limited edition which comes with the C4B motor same as the GTS model runs 800rwhp in blown combination, which is almost a daily driver as often as he can get out in it, but I think he runs a cast iron block now for security( not exactly sure though) will have to ask his tuner and check....

This is my first post in this forum so G'day from Pete.
Here is my car it is a 2001 Holden VX Executive (base model) it features a 5.7L LS1 6 speed power windows it has 4 into 1 HPC coated pacemaker headers (1.5" primaries) a full stainless 2.5" stainless custom made exhaust and produces a little over 300HP at the rear wheels. I hope you like her...I do.

hi my name is george i have 2001 vu ss ute with 4 into 1 extractors with twin 2.5" stainless steel exhaust stock computer and cai bigger maff pipe. i also enclosed pictures of my old cars and the current hyper yellow ute and it has 310 hp/rw

wow, i really enjoyed looking through all 6 pages of these australian cars... VERY interesting, and it seems like holden has a million different models they make!!! every picture seems like a different car! lol

i wonder why nobody imports these from aus. like people do japanese cars, i would love to cruise around in one of those "ute" style vehicles, lol that would be a trip

Wow....Seems that you guys over there are just as nuts about your cars as we are here in the states....That is bad ass.....

I wouldnt mind bringin my car over there to be the odd ball....LOL

Love the Manaro's and Vx's they all look great.

Probably not to many of these in the good'ol USA,and bottom photo is with the tray removed for my fuel system fitting :usa:

Hey Guys, great forum you have here..

Thought I would post a couple of pics of my new beast. This is the latest model VE Commodore SS. 6.0 Litre 270KW. Lowered with 20" Rims.

I got the 6 speed manual. Great car to drive..

Here are some pics of my 2000 HSV Senator. The Senator is the highest luxury model that HSV sells in the short wheel base variant. Mine is very rare in that it run a 6 speed T56. But is optioned with GTS suspension which is the highest of the sports models. The only modifications to mine are the Intake. And an EFI LIVE Dual Table MAFLESS tune. It has about 430HP

Whats up with the airbox and maf just hanging out there and the camero style intake, never seen that before.

Whats up with the airbox and maf just hanging out there and the camero style intake, never seen that before.

The airbox off the side is the stock unit with the MAF bolted to it. I leave it there for when I want to make the car look stock and just remove the OTRCAI and install the standard MAF pipe back on.

That intake is a ram air style intake that gains about 30hp over the very restrictive standard airbox. They are a very popular mod ever here. But can be quite pricey at around $600AU
When the car goes to the drags the filter comes out. And its good for a mid 12 sec pass.

Can Anyone point me in the direction of LS1 Engine covers??? I want something with a chrome finish if possible????

eBay for covers. Dont like your chances on finding chrome ones though. But you could always prep them yourself

cool, I figured it was something like that. 30hp is alot just from a CAI

yes it is and thats why they're so popular over here. Anyone with an N/A LS1 thats worth a damm over here has one. Perhaps you guys should be doing some shopping over here.

eBay for covers. Dont like your chances on finding chrome ones though. But you could always prep them yourself


Thanks champ but the ebay items just aren't quite what i am looking for. Although having said that, metalflake black is probably not a bad compromise i guess!!

I was hoping to find a site in the US that specialises in aftermarket dress up bits for our Monaro's over there????

Hopefully a pic of my VY Senator has attached to this thread so you can see?!?!? If not i have posted pics of it on the HSV Forum....

Can you guys get me some more pics of that intake thing? It looks like it might fit great on my truck with my hood. Perhaps off of the vehicle and the underside? even with a tape measure placed on it will help. It can even be in metric as I am able to speak metric.

here you go buddy. I've applied heat shield tape to the bottom of mine to reduce the inherent heat soak you get with these things upon restarting the car. Not to sure if it will fit on your truck as you can see where it dips in to get over the radiator. Have a look at a GTO to see if the clearance is similar

Thats because the GTO was based off my model commodore.

Cool pics mate :)


Thanks mate

Here is one fo my HSV GTO

Oh God, I don't know if I want to see a new El Camino in the states here anytime soon... Let us fix the Malibu and Monte Carlo first...

any of you aussies see the new camaro driving on the streets over there yet? supposedly gm send a few prototypes over there.

Here's a photochop I made up the other day. Didn't go to transparent on the engine bay just after the subtle look.
http://i68.photobucket.com/albums/i39/macca_779/MY%20GEAR/senatorseethroughbonnet.jpg

Something a little different, basically a Holden S/Wagon, jacked up for off road, AWD 62/38 rear front power split. with LS1.

Threw in heads and cam, Starr 10 psi Whipple, air water intercooler, alcohol / water injection, headers and system to the back, 2 bar tune gave us 500 fwkW (670 fwhp) 900 nm of torque.

Broke 4 x 4L60e's in the first 10,000 ks so now has the only 4L80e AWD around (AWD drive off the left hand side, not 4WD off the right)

Has 20 x 35 x 255 wheels with Harrop 381 mm x 6 pot front with 355 mm x 4 pot rear brakes

Weighs 2247 Kg (4943.4 lb)

0 to 100 k (60 mph) 4.1 sec in street trim with no wheel spin, pulls 1 G on launch.

Feel free to go to www.Mainlube.com.au and go to the LS1 section, then to video and you can see the crazy short videos of this machine on the skid pan in Sydney. (I noticed our site is down at the moment, should be up soon, after I find our I.T. man and scream)
