1987 Holden Camira JE from Australia and New Zealand - Comments

Air conditioner unit brackets have bent, causing the power steering/air conditioner unit belts to run diagonally.

CV joints are just starting to play up.

Original radio/cassette player didn't last the trip home. Has been replaced with Pioneer head unit and new speakers.

Gearbox died at around 112,000km. Replaced by a second hand gearbox.

Shock absorbers have completely had it since about 113,000km. Will be replaced with low, hard suspension.

Catalytic Converter insides crumbled around 112,000km. Has yet to be replaced.

Interior is literally coming apart at the seems from 114,000km.

Gearbox unnecessarily kicks back a gear when accelerating.

This car does have a good acceleration and decent top speed.

Could have more back seat leg room.

I would like to have alloy wheels all around, but I have been told that this car's wheel stud pattern is different to all other car's stud patterns.

It did not have any parcel-shelf speakers and had no signs of ever having them when I bought it.

I would like to put bucket seats and new carpet, rear seat and dash, but do not know what I need to know and what other model cars would have the same size dash.

Although there were never any rear speakers in my car, a 1988 SLX Camira, the there are still speaker wires run from behind the head unit to the boot. they are taped to the other wires running to the lights in the boot on the right hand side. i believe they are bule and grey.

Who ever reads this comment or has time to read it i'd like to thank you and prove to you that the HOLDEN CAMIRA is a car of all cars how do I know this? because I got one for myself, the truth is that it goes hard depending on who is driving the vehicle well mines been written off and yet I somehow found it was worth repairing and yet had another two accidents doing way over the limit and yet it still goes due to that, I'm gonna make it the best camira on the road and try get him in a magazine what else can I say, but my CAMIRA is probably the best car I've owned and gonna keep it till it falls into rust. And that'a what I think about my car!

^^^^ Now that is Camira love baby.

More people like that, and the Camira would have a fantastic reputation.

Any one that doesn't like Camiras, or thinks that they are slow, or thinks that they handle like a tank, obviously has never driven a Camira. Or has never driven mine!!!

I own a 87 camira and have no trouble. it has done 600,000km and still goes hard. has been in many accidents and hasn't received a scratch.
