mate
i dont know where you are getting your source of information from. but from who or where it is fucking rediculas!! my grandfather has a astron 2ltr sigma and ill tell u what. sure they're known for their bottom end strength, and mabye a teaspoon of speed (better make that half a teaspoon). but there is no chance in hell that you can get enough power out of them to beat a skyline!
stick with ya factory motor for the time being to get ya from A to B. and later on, if u wanna get some BIG BALLS about ya car - why no go with a skyline motor?!
have a think about it before ya go putting grandads motor in ya car.
dissapointed gemmy owner

So you are building the quickest gemini in australia??
Coz it would have to be to smash try09 as it has run many mid 9sec runs.

Besides you can build alomst any engine to make huge power and run quick. Reliability is another issue and astron engines are renound for the lack of theirs.

Just a thought.

I suppose you haven't seen the new build try09's is having since it blew its motor at the nats. It's no longer a street car just straight out drag car.

Take your own advice.

FAR-KING-HELLL!!!! let the bloke put whatever motor he wants in his gem. and most of you sound oblivious to the real world, not all but a lot. i suggest you throw out your copies of the fast and the furious. besides 60% of what went into getting that time that fella made was driver skill. you could have a bullit set up and run wheelspin so bad you get a 21sec ET. think about what youre saying!

umm dont bag the astron i know a bloke that got 340,000kms out of one with out touching it. and yeah he was a grampa and smoked a pipe, had a little dog and all that. ive got a more serious question to pose. why have a holden/isuzu and want to power it with a motor for a whole other place???? why not go do up a sigma??? why not do a nissan??? (nothing personal gene im just interested) im holden thru and thru i know holden did it (rb30) but why o why. maybe im just to pasionate. go for it mate stick that sigma motor in i wish you all the luck but every time you scratch your head and are deep in thought about it think of me wondering why oh why.
the other guy was confused it wasnt a skyline it looked like one but it went like a pintara i guess he forgot his glasses that day.
