Exploring the Town of Australian Built Cars.

[@Yt_channel_lol]

Peter's presence makes me happy. I love Rex Hunt

[@noelgibson5956]

I owned an 85 Mitsubishi Colt sedan and a 1990 Mitsubishi Magna TP sedan.....both built in Adelaide. One of the best looki cars made in Australia, in my opinion, was the 1977 to 1980 Chrysler (Mitsubishi) Sigma SE. In 1977...........it looked stunning!

[@ausernameidk]

AUSDM cars will explode in value when the BA falcon is old enough to import into the states. We all remember what happened to the JDM market.

[@philnorbury9032]

When will that be?

[@nathanpaykin]

I agree with you on that one, will be interesting to see what the future holds

It was for sale in the car park

VT's outsold AU's three to two, but there's a hell of a lot more Au's on the road now...........Tells you all you need to know.

[@nathanpaykin]

Hahaha au’s have a face only a mother could love but they are great cars

Back in the day Imlachs in Springvale was called Centre Road Wreckers and weren't self serve but before they sold to Imlachs they started doing self service. There also was a wreckers across the road where Mainfreight are now. Me and mates used ride our push bikes down the drains next to Imlachs and sneek in at the rear of the yard anf look at cars. Imlachs started off in Braeside on Boundary Road called Sigma Wreck then they moved to Clayton Road then to Centre Road. My old boss is good friends with the Imlach family.

[@thesausage351]

I kept my local wreckers in business buying diffs and gearboxes for my XE. I did so much business there the owner who also had a towing business, didn’t charge me for a tow for about 15 years. I had an XE with a Crossflow I built, making a dynod 360rwhp, and ended up running a 5 speed supra box and a 3.55:1 LSD doing a mid 13 sec 1/4. I surprised many VT’s which were the new car then. May or may not have also easily outran the police vehicles of the time. I’m a Ford guy through and through, I have 3 BA tonners, a SX Envy Territory and a XB GS Fairmont with a 351 4V.

[@AndyRRR0791]

Holden vehicle manufacturing in Melbourne was down in Dandenong (off Princes Highway) and ended in the mid 90s assembling Corollas and Novas although earlier it was assembling Camiras and Commodores of the VB/VC vintage - maybe even later.

[@nathanpaykin]

Interesting! Cheers for the info :)

[@DStead2239]

New Zealand once manufactured all Japanese and English cars locally, then the government dropped all tariffs on imported vehicles. This killed the local manufacturing market as an import became cheaper than an equivalent locally produced vehicle, but it also meant every vehicle became cheap to purchase and New Zealand became one of the biggest importers of JDM vehicles. Evo, gtr, sti, gtir, gtx, gtst, gt4, vr4, RS Legacy, Legnum, autech stagea, etc etc were all plentiful and dirt cheap.

Ford 👍 liking the last few vids on the wreckers good stuff

[@nathanpaykin]

Thanks mate! Ef videos are coming back soon though

[@vehicularmanslaughter3034]

In Japan the Magna was called the Diamante and was built in nagoya

[@2DogsVlogs]

And the 380 was the Sigma. The Magna was also known as the Mirage back in the late 80's (TM & TP models).

[@lincolnfreer9411]

the buicks also came in the buick regal gnx but had a turbo strapped to it in the us

[@nathanpaykin]

True forgot to mention that, I love those things

[@thesausage351]

Bit of trivia for you, back in the day there was an open wheel formula named Formula Holden, where they ran the 3.8L. Toyota entered a car and swapped all of the parts on the engine with a Holden logo over for the Toyota counterpart, most noticeably the rocker covers.

[@warrenhart9229]

Ecotec V6 - a version of the Series II 3800 V6 engine, produced by the Holden Engine Company between 1995 and 2004. Based on a US Buick 3.8 but not an American engine per-se.

[@freechagosislandjohnpilger]

most toyotas in USA are made in USA eg camry, I'm amazed how quick things are forgotten, Dandenong holden plant was huge, had its own train station even, then we had the nissan plant not far away, in westall/clayton , you should go do a vid at holden dandy, although its slowly be taken over by shops. etc

[@jayden793]

The Magna was first Australian made cars to be exported in large numbers also Toyota Australia exported over 1 million cars

[@WascallyWabbitt]

GMH exported nearly 200K HQ to Z's in the seventies continuing an export program that originated with the FJ in the early fifties. I'd say that was a large number.

[@RealityCheck-p1f]

The Toyota Plant in Melbourne exported majority of what they produced mainly to Saudi Arabia.

[@jamesfrench7299]

Regards Ecotec 3800 vs Buick 3800. I don't know about technical differences but I do know the Buick made a much nicer sound than the boringly quietened down Ecotec. They improved on smoothness and sound (not as nice as the Buick though) by the VX in 2001. I believe Holden tamed the jackrabbit take off the Buicks were known for. The Ecotec seems to have more high end power than the very low end torque emphasis of the Buick.

[@Louie2309]

Toyota Camrys and Corollas built in Australia were exported to several countries. New Zealand, PNG, Thailand and with the Camry, Saudi Arabia.

[@keiracurro8407]

We had two chargers when i was a toddler, got picked up from school in a vj, we had so many, worth a bit today. 😮 Handling not close to a modern falcon i think, the Cm model had mitsubishi plates.

[@mvnorsel6354]

I often went there for parts for my Sigma. Always had Australian cars, know nothing else, lucky me😅.

[@thesausage351]

I usually have a Camry for work, but currently I’m in a stupid big Hiace as I’m doing a bigger run and need more space, but I hate Camrys and I was given one of my companies oldest cars, a 12yo Toyota Camry with 180k on the clock. The AC isn’t cold enough, and it’s incredibly uninspiring, but, in terms of a reliable economical vehicle, it’s definitely that. They’ve threatened they’re giving me a spanking new Hybrid shortly and I’m seriously thinking of buying the Camry because I have 2 kids and all my utes a 2 seaters.

[@chrish4469]

Toyota did export the Camry to other markets other than NZ. Asia and the middle east I think

[@thesausage351]

And Toyota South Africa exported the Corolla and I think Hilux to Australia.

[@josephatherton2781]

Ford falcon sedans and utes and territory , are good cars . Their was a Nissan badge falcon ute . And a nissan engine in the holden commodoor . In the 1990s

The vs is a buick engine but it has sequential injection and a bigger plenum

[@ucwepn]

also has lighter pistons

I see, so what is the difference between say a VS and VY engine?

@@nathanpaykin VS to VY where mostly the same other than a couple of sensors the motors known as Buick engines VN to VR were shorter and not as wide.

No r31s they were built in Australia from memory to compete with the magna I think ?

I think you’re right. Unfortunately haven’t seen a single one yet
