Holden Torana/Sunbird UD series, 1980. The LX/UC series had seen the Torana range split between 6 cylinder models that retained the Torana designation and 4 cylinder versions that adopted the Sunbird model name. There were plans for a UD series that would have included a 5-door hatchback not previously offered. However it was decided that the cars would be outdated (their platform dated back to the early 70s, engines from the 1960s) compared to the Chrysler (Mitsubishi) Sigma, Nissan Bluebird and Mazda 626 they would compete with. The UD project and 5-door Sunbird/Torana were cancelled and the Australian version of the GM J-car (the Holden Camira) was introduced in 1982 to replace them

My Top 10 Iconic Le Mans Legends

This weekend, the 24 Hours of Le Mans race will celebrate its 100th anniversary, and with 62 cars from different classes gathering around in this centennial milestone as well as special guest stars, rest assured that the 100th running of the 24 Hours of Le Mans is going to be historical indeed.

As the whole world is bracing for the centennial running of the legendary endurance race that pushes carmakers over the limit in the name of speed and survival, it's time for me to jot down my top ten iconic Le Mans legends.

10) GR010 - Following the success of their LMP1-class TS050, which propelled Toyota Gazoo Racing to three straight overall titles at Le Mans, Toyota created this competitor to the new Hypercar class, which replaced the LMP1 class after the 2020 season. Complying with Hypercar regulations, the GR010 is powered by a 3.5L V6 twin-turbo engine mated to an electric motor that powers the front wheels, making it a 4WD machine where the petrol engine powers the rear wheels while the electric motor takes care of the front, a drastic change compared to its LMP1 predecessor. Toyota defended its Le Mans success in the new Hypercar class with the #7 Toyota Gazoo Racing car emerging as the winner of the 24 Hours of Le Mans for two years, making it its fifth win in a row.

9) Toyota TS050 - In the 2018 24 Hours of Le Mans, being the only manufacturer-backed LMP1 racer competing in its class, the #8 Toyota Gazoo Racing TS050, piloted by Formula 1 driver Fernando Alonso, Formula E driver Sebastien Buemi, and Kazuki Nakajima, made a historic victory at Le Mans, marking the second time a Japanese carmaker won Le Mans since the legendary Mazda 787B and the first time a Japanese driver became part of the Le Mans-winning team. In 2019 and 2020, with the latter being the final year for the LMP1 era, Toyota emerged victorious in Le Mans.

8) Jaguar XJR-9 - Built in collaboration between Jaguar and Tom Walkinshaw Racing, Jaguar's Group C competitor is powered by two V12 engines; a 7.0L for the WSPC and a 6.0L for IMSA GTP class. Both produce 760PS of power and 828Nm of torque, while mated to a 5-speed March/TWR manual gearbox, making the XJR-9 capable of hitting a 245mph top speed. A Silk Cut-sponsored Jaguar XJR-9 won the 1988 24 Hours of Le Mans with Jan Lammers, Johnny Dumfries, and Andy Wallace behind the wheel.

7) Peugeot 905 - The V10-powered Peugeot 905 cemented the French carmaker to the list of Le Mans winners when it won the legendary endurance race twice in 1992 and 1993.

6) Audi R18 TDi - The Audi R18 TDi is known as the only diesel-powered racing machine that conquered Le Mans three times from 2012 to 2014. Not only that, it has dominated two WEC championship titles from 2012 to 2013. Such achievement proves that diesel is king until dieselgate came and most carmakers are ditching diesel-powered engines for good.

5) 919 Hybrid  - In 2014, Porsche returned to LMP1 endurance racing with their 919 Hybrid and although it didn't fare well in its first run, which led to its 3rd place finish at the constructor's championship at the 2014 WEC season, it came back with a much fighting chance and because of such will power, it managed to win not just Le Mans but also three WEC seasons on the trot from 2015 to 2017. Porsche has left the LMP1 racing program after their three-win streak with the 919, only to make a comeback in the Hypercar class with the 963 racing machine.

4) Sauber-Mercedes C9 - As part of the Sauber-Mercedes partnership, this Group C prototype was introduced in 1987 and its first success can be traced back to the 1989 24 Hours of Le Mans, where the #63 C9 driven by Jochen Mass, Manual Reuter, and Stanley Dickens, achieved a win. During qualifying for Le Mans, the C9, with its Mercedes-Benz M119 HL 90º 5.0L Turbo V8 engine with two KKK turbos, achieved a top speed of 248.0 mph (400 km/h) at the Mulsanne Straight of Le Mans.

3) 917K - The Porsche 917K is known as the short-tail version of the legendary 917, a sports prototype race car, and it gave Porsche their first overall wins at Le Mans for two straight years since 1970. Thanks to such success, it even gained a starring role in the Le Mans movie starring Steve McQueen.

2) 787B - Built as an improved version of the 787, it features the same R26B 4-rotor Wankel engine as its predecessor which produces up to 690HP of power. Aside from that, it features carbon-fiber bodywork which resulted in a light, rigid body structure and other improvements. In the 1991 24 Hours of Le Mans endurance race, Mazda sent two 787B machines with the race-winning #55 car driven by Bertrand Gachot, Johnny Herbert, and Volker Weider. The 787B not only became the first Japanese-manufactured race car to win Le Mans, but it's also the first-and-only rotary-powered race car to win the said endurance race.

1) GT40 Mk. II - Ford's trial-and-error process of creating a racing machine that can crush Ferrari in Le Mans is nothing more of an act of revenge from the Blue Oval following Ferrari's rejection to become part of the Ford empire. Armed with the 7.0L V8 engine producing 485HP of power and mated to a 4-speed gearbox, the GT40 Mk.II from Ford delivered a stunning podium sweep at the 1966 24 Hours of Le Mans race, more than enough to crush Ferrari into it. Such achievement has been profiled in the biopic movie Ford vs. Ferrari.

In this centennial running of the 24 Hours of Le Mans, will it be a milestone for Toyota Gazoo as it's seeking a three-peat in the Hypercar class? Will the return of Ferrari in Le Mans crush Toyota's dreams for a three-peat? Find out as this legendary endurance race unfolds this Saturday, June 10th. Don't miss it!

How to Change the PCV Valve on a Mazda 6: 3.0L 04 to 08

How to change the PCV Valve on a Mazda 6 with a 3.0L from 2004 to 2008. You may be wanting to do a thorough maintenance on your Mazda 3.0L and found the PCV Valve isn’t in plain sight. Not to worry, this quick and short article will go over where to find it and how to replace it.

Most people don’t realize how crucial a PCV Valve is. When they stop functioning like the should be, problems can arise. Your car can start using oil and burn it out the tail-pipe, or start blowing gaskets. The PCV Valve balances the crankcase pressure while the pistons are in motion. Without this valve, the crankcase can build up pressure and cause your gaskets to start leaking. On the other hand, with the valve in the stuck open position, will make your engine to suck oil into the intake and burn oil.

How the PCV Valve on a Mazda 6 3.0L Works

  I have mentioned what can happen if it isn’t working properly. However, it can be helpful to know what it does. PCV stand for “Positive Crankcase Ventilation.” The PCV valve system operates on a straightforward principle. It regulates the pressure in the crankcase. Connected to the intake, it modulates vacuum levels. When the engine is at idle, the vacuum is high. With the high vacuum, the check valve restricts vacuum from being pulled on the crankcase. As the RPM increases and vacuum drops, the valve opens wider, permitting more pressure into the intake. This pressure and gases then re-enter the combustion cycle, burning off alongside fresh fuel and air. This prevents condensation in the oil, and keeps gaskets from leaking due to pressure. So, basically, when the engine is at idle or low RPM, the crankcase isn’t under that much pressure. When you increase the RPM’s, the crankcase starts to build pressure. The regulated vacuum, releases that pressure and allow the engine to burn off the excess pressure. Do not think that a PCV Valve is only for emissions, there are many articles that make that statement. California required this Valve in 1961. Car engines up till then, just vented the oil vapor straight to the atmosphere. By venting straight into the air, you had some pollutants, but you also had oil usage. The PCV valve just allows the oil vapor to go back into the combustion chamber to be burned. This reduces the number of pollutants released by the engine. However, the PCV also reduces how much oil an engine loses. Learn more about how a PCV valve works reading my article: How Does a PCV Valve Work.

What to Look for With a Bad PCV Valve on a Mazda 6

Most of the time, when a PCV Valve goes bad, the driver doesn’t even notice while driving. What you may notice, is oil puddles under the car, or the car smoking out the exhaust. It can affect the car’s performance in some instances, but normally not. Depending on the engine, sometimes, although rarely. A defective PCV Valve can cause the engine to misfire, or stumble upon acceleration. What To Look For If Valve Is Stuck Closed - Whistling or hissing sound coming from the engine - Oil leaks, most commonly from the valve cover gasket - A decrease in your fuel mileage - Possible “Check Engine Light”. This would be set off if your emission levels are far enough off. What To Look For If Valve Is Stuck Open - Excessive oil residual build up around the PCV Valve hose or around the valve cover - Rough idle or even misfiring, rare possibility in noticing a drop in performance - Harder to start after the car has sat for a period of time - Blue, gray or white smoke coming from exhaust pipe, meaning it is burning oil

Locating Your PCV Valve on Your Mazda 6 3.0L

You will find at the very back of the engine, a hose that curves downward. This hose is the PCV Valve hose and the valve is down and below the plenum. You will be removing the hose from the plenum and from the valve itself. There is a bracket that mounts a module and a wire retainer, remove this with two bolts . This will give you room to move your hand around. Disconnect the small bolts to the module and bracket, and peel them back out of the way. No need to disconnect wires or hoses from this.

Remove the PVC Hose by releasing the clamp and pulling it back. Pull the hose from the plenum and then pull it off the PCV Valve. There is a smaller hose also going to the plenum for you to remove. Looking at the where the PCV Hose goes to the plenum, this next hose is to the right and a little below it. Again, pull and slide the clamp back and pull this hose back and push it out of the way. You will now have a clear view of the PCV Valve. Using a long pair of needle nose pliers. Grab a hold of the square part of the valve and twist it counter clockwise, while pulling lightly upward. Using the same pliers, take the new valve and put it back into the hole and twist it clockwise. This all could possibly be done by hand. So, you can try it first with you hand first. Now reconnect the PCV Hose, then the smaller hose. Put the bracket back to the firewall and you have successfully change a PCV Valve on a Mazda 6 3.0L

Could the Mazda 6 be replaced by a Chinese electric car?

It’s no secret the current Mazda 6 mid-size sedan and wagon range is nearing the end of its life, but we may finally have a clue about its successor – and it’s probably not what you were expecting.

My Top 10 ICE-powered JDM Executive Midsize FF Sedans

The third-generation Mazda 6 will go down in history as the last JDM D-Segment front-wheel-drive saloon to be powered by internal combustion and with production ending this April, this race is now sadly extinct due to the never-ending rise of crossovers and SUVs.

As this species is set to be extinct in the springtime, it's time for me to jot down my top 10 JDM executive midsize front-wheel-drive sedans powered by internal combustion.

10) Sixth-generation Toyota Camry - At the end of 1996, the Camry Gracia was launched in sedan and estate variants. The Gracia is the luxury alternative to the Camry and it served as the replacement for both the Camry Prominent and the US-built Scepter. With the fifth-generation Camry's production ending in the summer of 1998, the Camry Gracia took its place and it was known as the sixth-generation Camry when it was facelifted in 1999. This is the last Camry to have a V6 engine offered in the Japanese market. A year later, Daihatsu sold the Toyota Camry as the Altis.

9) Suzuki Kizashi - Originally meant to be a US-exclusive model, the Suzuki Kizashi went on sale in Japan in the fall of 2009. With styling inspired by the three concepts, the Kizashi is powered by a 2.4L petrol engine producing 188PS while mated to a CVT with Manual Mode. The Kizashi is the last Suzuki sedan offered in Japan and production ended in 2015.

8) Seventh-generation Honda Accord - Launched in 2002, the seventh-generation Honda Accord features a sleeker design compared to its predecessor as well as improved dynamics. It was the first to feature Honda's Internavi Premium Club service, providing drivers the fastest route to their target destination. Powering the seventh-generation Accord is a choice of a 2.0L and 2.4L mated to a 5-speed AT. The Euro-R variant is powered by a 220PS 2.0L engine mated only with a 6-speed MT. This generation marked the last time to feature the Euro-R grade. The seventh-generation Accord was exported in Europe, in the US as the Acura TSX, and in Oceania as the Honda Accord Euro.

7) Nissan Cefiro A32 - Launched in 1994, the Nissan Cefiro A32 eschews its predecessor's FR layout in favor of a stable FF layout with comfortable driving in mind. Powering the Cefiro A32 is a choice of three VQ V6 petrol engines from 2.0L, 2.5L, to 3.5L. All are mated to either a 5-speed MT or a 4-speed AT.

6) Eighth-generation Mitsubishi Galant - Launched in late summer 1996, the eighth and final generation Mitsubishi Galant is no doubt one of the best-looking executive midsize saloons at that time with the sporty 4WD VR-4 variant the most aggressive-looking. It even spawned an Aspire twin two years later. The eighth-generation Galant is the first production car to be powered by a Gasoline Direct Injection engine for improved performance and fuel economy. It won the 1996 Japan Car of the Year award.

5) Sixth-generation Honda Accord - Launched in September 1997, the sixth-generation Honda Accord incorporates the Honda DNA through this D-segment executive midsize saloon, hence the car's slogan. Joining alongside the sixth-generation Accord is its Torneo twin and both of them are powered by a choice of 1.8L and 2.0L VTEC engines. In 2000, both the sixth-generation Accord and the Torneo received a minor change and gained the sporty Euro R variant powered by a 2.2L VTEC engine mated exclusively with a 5-speed MT.

4) Honda Inspire CP3 - Debuted at the 2007 Tokyo Motor Show, the CP3 Honda Inspire is powered by a J35A 3.5L i-VTEC PGM+FI V6 engine that produces a power output of 280PS and 342NM of torque. This engine comes with Variable Cylinder Management that shuts half of its cylinders. Coupled with the 5-speed AT, it has a fuel economy of 9.9km/L based on Japan’s 10-15 Mode standards. 9.6km/L based on JC08 Mode standards. Production ended in 2012, making it the last pure V6-powered Honda saloon ever made.

3) MAZDA6 (GJ) - Launched in 2012, the third-generation Mazda6, formerly known as the Atenza, is the first Mazda saloon to be powered by the SKYACTIV-D clean diesel engine mated to a six-speed SKYACTIV-MT, a first for a JDM Mazda in the SKYACTIV era.
