Opinions vs Facts Caldina Gt-t

[alastabesta]

back on topic..... when I brought my slushy, we drove one manual and three slushies, wasn't all that inpressed with the manual to be honest, sure it's a manual, so it must be good, but was quite impressed with the changing of the auto, both in manual and auto manipulation, so thats the one we brought, and the manual was cheaper than what we ended up paying.

that said, do other people's auto hit the limiter in 1-2 and 2-3 shifting?

they sure as hell do!!

Not really a part of this filter, but its aimed at the GT-T people...

Air filters. For the 3S-GTE, do they like their filters changed to something with more flow, or are they quite fussy?
As far as I know, the filter in my car is stock, or a similar replacement stock filter - Im guessing its one of those pink paper filters.
If I got a K&N panel, or simialr aftermarket panel filter, would the car run any better with the increased air flow, or would it not do jack shite.

I did CAI and Pod in my last car, and it made quite a bit of difference when climbing hills, seemed to have a bit more power. Not really looking at doing a CAI and Pod in the GT-T, as it looks a bit tight under the bonet, and dont really want to frig with it too much.

In general, do GT-Ts like the simple mods that other cars quite like, like CAI, Filter and Exhaust? Or do they pack a sad.

lol, Both going hard out of course. The caldina did have the exhaust manifold problem tho..... But still

I had a 20v ae101 fxgt with quite a few mods and it is not even in the same league as a gtt. Even with the leaky manifold a 20v wouldnt stand a chance.[/u]

Sorry, just to add to that, the Caldina was runing 91 aswell. Someone had put gas in it who didnt know it needed 98[/quote]




I should really get off my arse and send you that guide to disabling.

the best thing i have done is get rid of the cadilac convertor (spelling ) this made a noticable difference but not " wow shit 25hp" more. Cost about $250.

Replaced the pod filter i had an went back to standard with a simota panel filter $60.

Oh ok cool. Did the filter change make any difference?
Is the Cadilatic converter quite restrictive? There are high flow ones available (so ive heard), which may be options for if the emissions law gets changed, and all cars that had them from factory require them again.
Is it part of the exhaust manafold, or is it a seperate device a bit further down?

high flow cat's avaliable from the western isle of our nation, (aust) but while we don't need them, cut it out, take it to the scrap dealer, collect $30. (no shit)

my car has a stainless mesh pod filter, no cat, really noisey exhaust, never lined it up against a bog standard one.

on the vsc issue, has anyone managed successfull doughnuts with it off?

[mikeygtt]

the cadilac is right of the turbo between the engine and radiator so its a mungrel to do. As for the air filter I prefere the standard air box over the pod i had. The simota filter, on paper, is the better way to go, but i cant prove it myself just run a cold air intake into the standard box from under the guard, works for me.

its CATALYTIC Converter

That is all

I thought cadilacs where big american shite boxes?

no no no

I reckon it'd be really fun to have a Cadillac bolted on to your exhaust.

Might not go very well. Too much weight and bad handling
