Have you drifted before? If not I'd be getting a cheap R32 thats already running with a RB25 in it, (Or just get an R33 GTSt since theyre just as cheap but newer) add a FMIC, Oil Cooler and steel wheeled turbo, weld the diff up and go and learn to drift in it. You are very likely to keep bending things, and the cost to build a car from shell/rolling chassis most of the time is more expensive then buying individual parts. It's why a lot of guys are parting out their R33s as they are getting more money for them in parts. Plus if you decide you want to put in a new part, you've got the old one to either sell, or keep as a spare (What I recommend) for if/when it breaks.

+1 to this idea.

You may have pissed off someone while you were driving? Received any abuse of late?

2.5L screaming at max RPM of 7000RPM = 8750 Litres per minute of air ingested (At a perfect efficiency, but in actual fact it will be closer to 80% of that number) 4L (Falcon) tipping over at 6000RPM is 12,000 litres per minute of air ingested. Take into account they're both NA, exhaust gas temp should be relatively the same, meaning that the exiting gas volume should be quite comparable. I'd run the 2.5" on the 4L, and a 2.25" on the 2.5L as it doesn't need the high end gas flow, as it just doesn't have the need for it.

You guys seem to run HUGE exhaust pipes for a 2.5L N/A motor. Think about it, the commodore guys running 3.6 and 3.8L motors run a 2.5" I'd drop back to a 2.25" if I were you, it'll probably help remove drone also!

There are advantages to running the boost source from the plenum, and there are also disadvantages. It is not purely "clear cut" as to who should, and who shouldn't, until you learn to look at all of the items making up the specific system.

Ferrari!

Send them both to my place? I don't think you'll find any mobile mechanics that are highly knowledgeable in skylines.

If they're booking you for owner certifiable, they don't know their shit.If that does upset them that you've informed them it's owner certifiable and they do go to town on you for things that you actually have modified illegally, then that's your problem for actually having illegal mods.

Onthe RTA web site.VSI06 is a great document to read first. It gives you the basics, which include the cutting of the hole in the inner guard.

Intercooler + a hole cut in the inner guard is perfectly legal WITHOUT an engineers certificate. You lot need to learn your standards of what is owner certifiable and be able to politely inform the police of such items and you will avoid defects.

Makes me feel old all these younguns... And just to think, I'm still considered "young" by a lot of the club... LOL

Who's launching their R33?

When I was noise tested (by a real exhaust shop) he was telling me that dependent on the type of location they can remove a certain amount of DBA off the reading, light industrial gets 2DBA they can remove, a motorway would mean they have to remove more!Frigging idiots! I can understand them patrolling and RBTing everything, because we all know after you watch some "car action" te spectators nearly always want to be clowns, so they deserve to be done for speeding and drink driving etc, but they really need to train these coppers up some more on what things are! I'm glad my car looks stock as (only thing different is rims, and they're a factory size and mimic the factory shape, and no I didn't buy them, they were on the car when I got it.)

No it won't stop it making good power, the air flow through the front has nothing to do with how the car makes power.What it will effect is heat soak. It will restrict air to the radiator and FMIC, depending on your type of driving will depend on if you notice anything. Personally, even on mild built track car, I wouldn't worry about cutting it out.

Nik, I don't think josh is worried if disappointing you when you disappoint your mum every time she looks at you...

nah that wasn't me, as Brett said below: I was in a bright orange XR6T, my last two runs were terrible, I wish I'd sat those two out with my mates, I was trying to launch too hard and the car didn't like it.

I went out for a bit of fun, 13.005 @105MPH. Never broke the twelves. It seems te hotter weather at the start made it the quickest. I did 7 runs before the skid cars came out and I said fuggit and headed home. Nearly home, just stopped for food

Is this still for sale?

So I haven't done a lot of reading up on the technical specs or anything of COTF, purely because I don't need to know them, I can't afford to build or buy one of these cars, but I just saw some closeups of the Altima, and the seating position peaked my interest. It's a long long way back in the car, with the steering wheel nearly at the B Pillar, I wonder how interesting driver changes will get at like Bathurst.

Stickers should be staying. I don't care what they look like, they're "the norm" While police setup an RBT station they always look for those stickers, you may not notice it, but they do. Now it's going to be harder for them to quickly identify unregistered cars. Why should you be more concerned? Well now it's going to be easier to get away with an unregistered car, meaning cars that can potentially hit your pride and joy, and wont be insured. People can more easily do a runner from an incident ecause the plates don't match the address to which the car really belongs, etc etc. Once again a stupid move by RMS to just save more money. How many registered cars in NSW/ACT? Factor a dollar to two dollars to prep and send each receipt. Yet we don't get a rego payment cut, and they sure as hell won't put more money into our roads either.

The test is a bit different for oldies, they can't fake how well they can move their body. I also know alot of them need clearance from their doctor. And when all is said and done, and they fail, they write a letter of complaint and their license is given back to them. On the flipside, a lot of older people once their license is removed will generally be mentally unstable or die within 12 months as it crushes their will to live by removing their "independence" as they see it.

Lucky it isn't the flange that died... You wouldn't be able to keep a straight face while talking to the dealer And isn't it under warranty?

The road rules define what type of vehicle can stop in a loading zone. If you're going to drive on the road, you should know them all really. It would make everyones life easier. If I were the one reviewing the loading bay case I'd have declined your appeal. But lucky I don't work there.
