Kinks

lap dash eh... *strokes chin* spoiled for choice on easter weekend! i'd have to mount the fire extinguisher tho.. at the moment it's beside the emergency jack in my boot... lol.

what's the fee for L2S? and it's just a form yeh? contemplating the 23rd, finally got my butt and got my brakes done so i need a track day

i laughed. going straight to hell, see you there

yep, fill it through the filler hole until it starts pissing out again. wait 30s for it to settle, add a bit more until it starts coming out and then you're done. if you do something stupid like fill it through the gearstick hole then yes you can overfill it.

it's not a bug it's a feature. many skylines do that - mine certainly did (until today, new pads fitted.. however i'm sure the squeal will come back once they are bedded in). since it's only in reverse i don't care. if it happened every time i pulled up at the lights it would annoy me.

farmer's wife not putting out.

my car still pings sometimes on 98RON. on 100RON it is beautiful.

if you were spinning 4th you would know about it. no ifs or buts. dodgy clutch for sure.

I only turn my fog lights on when there is actual thick fog and doing more than 40km/h is dangerous. So the fog light indicator is best used for reminding yourself to turn the f**king things off in normal traffic.

If you want fun and are prepared to spend a fair bit on ongoing maintenance, get the 32 GTR. If you want a new, smooth, reliable daily get the 34 GTT. I was faced with the same choice and even though the 32 GTR has been a dream car for years, I went the 33. The last car I had was 15 years old and I was sick of replacing bits so the newness factor won out.

Just Car will insure you when other companies won't, so that's a positive in their favour. However, they are fond of the old rape-your-wallet trick. If my car got stolen under them I would pay almost 2 grand in excesses!! Base excess, excess for car, and excess for theft. Now that I keep the car in a locked garage I can get Shannons, similar premium but $500 excess across the board. Much better.

yes, some people need to learn throttle control. I could hit 5k RPM without building boost if i wanted to.

kill switch should be a latching relay type - ie you have to turn key to ON, hit switch, then start car. if it's just a simple switch you'll get lazy, a proper latching relay stopped my R31 from getting pinched.

coilovers often are too stiff for daily driving, our roads are bumpy you need suspension that soaks that up.

idling a car up to temperature is bad for it. start it, wait 30 seconds, drive gently.

screw night races. 3MW of electricity? what a joke.

gold. i wasn't going to say it, because "each to their own", but I think the WRX burble sounds like a fat guy with an imminent case of the squirts. more power to you if that's your thing.

sounds like the track's in perfect condition for a drift day.

1) speak better english. 2) if you have let a lead-acid battery stay in a discharged (flat) state for more than a few hours it has sulfated and will never hold a charge again. Replace your battery. Three days of being flat means the battery is stuffed. /thread

Sydneykid has been running ethanol blend for ages and has noticed no ill-effects, he even slices his old fuel filters open and there's nothing out of the ordinary inside.

Yeah, rain adds 25kw - so i flick high boost on and then it feels like it's added 50kw

that's hot.

why? it's funny. people who feel inadequate to the point where they have to put down someone else's car in order to justify their own choice amuse me.

why should it make the car stall? my R31 never had issues.

still think luff is a tool. the show was moderately interesting, i'd like to know how people can afford to twin turbo a 360 though! probably won't bother looking out for it again, it just didn't grab me. the first drag "challenge" was a waste of time, anyone who is still frying tyres at half track isn't taking it seriously. seems to me like it's just an excuse for luff to indulge himself, and the car owners to get their moment in the spotlight so they can show off and have people stroke their ego.
