2006 HSV VZ Skaife Senator #44 *ZSEN8R*

[Jesterarts]

Just thought I would throw in an update - Contacted DuSpeed last night and hopefully will have an OTRCAI early next week. Wanting to get some opinions of a little idea I have.

Would it look tacky/bad if i got a HSV logo stencil type thing and sprayed it onto the OTRCAI? Be honest.

Hmmm... depends how big you go...

OR, instead what if you make a stencil of the "I just want one" font under the HSV logo on the rear window sticker and just use that. "I just want one" in white font on a gloss black DUSPEED would look MINT.

Yeah at first was thinking of doing the logo and the "I just want one" font. But you may have swayed me just to do the font. Would look very cool. However I may still do both. Or I ma just do the chev badge logo... *cough cough* not a chance.

+1 for Autotechnique. Very professional shop

[VY19]

Yeah I am either going to go there or Chevs. Tough decision.

Another update - contacted Chev's performance through email last night. Going to swing down there today or call them to book my car in for a OTR + MAFless + 1.8 Roller Rocker installation. The price they quoted me was a bit higher than what I was expecting but I am still going to go ahead with it.
Hopefully I get a good result.

i would forget the rockers and do some diff gears or highstall.

waste of money IMO

Worth paying a bit more to get a decent job mate.

In regards to a pattern on the OTR. I was thinking of putting SV6000 on my OTR, i havent thought of a design yet. One reason to do this is alot of people have no idea my car is an SV6000. So maybe you could get Skaife Senator #44 or something of the like, so, just like me, the adverage joe will know its different from all the other cars out there

[VY19]

This is true, going to have to put alot of thought into it. Don't want it to look tacky.

Booked in at Chevs for tuesday night. Hoping to get a good result. Didnt get the roller rockers. They will have to wait.

Looks good mate, very clean and tidy. Whats the difference between the skaife senators and the normal senator?

Cheers

The skaife only came in the phantom black colour, high beam HID's, tyre pressure monitoring system, the chrome dark shadow rims.
I think they came with better brakes but im not 100% sure. So nothing really performance.

The one I have came with nappa leather. Only 6 out of the 50 had nappa leather.

Absolutely beautiful car you have there, very jealous, makes my caprice look like an exec haha

[VY19]

Haha thanks mate - I still love the Caprice's though!

More pics coming soon by the way!

Update: Had the tune and DuSpeed OTR done today at Chev's. I am happy with the results I don't have a scanner though so I will take a photo of the dyno sheet at some stage tomorrow, hopefully it will be readable.

Before the mods were done I got a baseline result of 239rwkw
After the mods it ran a 261.1rwkw

Future performance mods will probably just be some stage 2 cams, stallie, 25% under drive pulley and oil catch can.

Looking to get some window tint next week as well
