Well kind of....

Hi I am mike from Brisbane and I am into a little car here that is called a Holden Gemini - but in various forms it is the GM world car - Buick, Opel, Vauxhall Chevette, Kadett, and so on.

I have two coupes and a sedan. Two of them Isuzu G - series engines G180Z and G200Z but the coupe I am building will run a 4ZC1. I am an active member of a forum here (ozgemini.com) but the technical dept on some issues is a bit shallow. Thought you guys can give me some leads.

Also there are a different part options that we do here that might be interesting including some of japanese parts that you guys might not have seen.

Wellcome!!!!

GM Aus has differences to their models but.....do not forget that most of the engine parts are from factories that produce the European models so....i could say that your model is a long distance brother.

Today models have differences only to ....emblems and grilles so....
The Opel Aus members want to replace their holden logos to Opel so they share this Opel love worldwide.
