FFS, the VL was the only one to Use a Nissan motor. You know why they did that/ Because Holden werent going to put the Buick motor in in the Crappy running order it was. Holden are the ones who made it injected, the only reason holden put the Nissan motor in the VL was becasue the laws changed, and it wasnt worth getting the old 202′s to run from unleaded when theuy were already getting another motor ready. The Buick motor wasn’t completely buick, mostly just the block the rest was holden. 2 models later holden completely re designed it and created their own Version the Ecotec, and yes it is different to the point that the Bores are spaced differently, and even the Angle of the V i believe is 1 deg different. Know your shit before you post Crap.

Uncle Eddy said “They Pay Nissan….” to indicate present tense – that is Holden still use Nissan Engines.
not “They PAID Nissan….” to indicate past tense.

Holden USED the Nissan Engine and Driveline [Diff etc] for the VK-VL only.. Before that it was the old red motor from the VB-VH the and for the VN-VZ they used the old Buick based V6

Where as the Alloytech V6 in the current VE is built at the new facility in Melbourne alongside the various 2.0; 2.2; 2.5; 3.0; 3.2 litre 4 and 6 cylinder engines the HEC export to other countries/car companies – mostly GM

He said…”They(Holden)Have Use The Nissan Engine For Decades” that’s total BS, It was only the last I6 engine Holden used which was a nissan motor. After that the V6 was a Buick NOT A NISSAN.

Hey Ford Australia, those trucks in the video should be for a RTV type. You need a ute that does not have a separate tray that gets used for the XR & FPV range and have IRS like the VE ute. But it looks like Holden dont have a separate tray ute to take on this falcon other than the Rodeo.
