Yep, I knew it was an Australian model, I was only ever talking about the 96 in his sig, which should have a Series II L36 according to the WIki, LOL
As that was the one he was talking about doing a roller conversion on was my impression. Unless of course there's another car here that hasn't been mentioned, hahahahah
Holden Commodore (VS)
Quote:
Launched in April 1995, the VS Commodore served as a mechanical update of the second generation architecture, destined to assist sales before the all-new VT model in August 1997. The extent of exterior changes veered not much further than a redesigned Holden logo and wheel trims.[2]
An updated Ecotec (Emissions and Consumption Optimisation through TEChnology) version of the Buick V6 engine coincided with the changes to the engine in the United States. The Ecotec engine packed 13 percent more power, an increase of 17 kilowatts (23 hp) over the VR, cut fuel consumption by 5 percent, and increased the compression ratio from 9.0:1 to 9.4:1. Holden mated the new engine with a modified version of the GM 4L60-E automatic transmission, bringing improved throttle response and smoother changes between gears.[2] Safety features were also improved, with a passenger airbag becoming available. The limited edition VS wagon with manual gear box was limited to a production of 300.
The Series II update of June 1996 brought elliptical side turn signals, interior tweaks and the introduction of a L67 Supercharged V6 engine for selected trim levels.[2] The new supercharged engine slotted in between the existing engines in the lineup and was officially rated at 165 kW (221 hp), just 3 kW (4.0 hp) below the V8.
