  1. While I will never dispute the power/fuel economy benefits of thermo fan versus Belt drive. I personally prefer thermo myself...However if a little extra power is the only reason behind it all then I really think you are wasting your money....The amount of time you will spend pulling it all out and custom installing it and the shear cost factor of it all...I reckon you could have made heaps more power for the same amount of cash elsewhere...My understanding of the clutch fans was ( Please correct me if I am wrong ) that the clutch releases power when up to operating temp and only engages when it exceeds...So in on the road driving provided your not in a 40 degree scorcher whilst the car is in typical motion it really shouldnt drain much if any power at all...thought about a cooler thermostat ? cheap little thing that may help your power
  2. wow I am really impressed by these T517Z's....Anybody else got any experience with them ? or maybe with the 518Z ? They seem to be a fair bit cheaper than equivalent HKS and yet perform every bit as good and maybe better..But last I heard was they dont come with water cooling...is this correct ? As a circuit/Street car oil coolers would then be even more critical...I am assuming
  3. wow I never knew the 517z were capable of that much power...at what boost ? I always thought for those sort of numbers a 518Z was required....awesome result
  4. sad to hear dude...just lucky it didnt Crap or piss all over it...or did it and your not aware ? I hope not
  5. To me they all look like Butt ugly fully sick Bro add ons. Sorry but I prefer my modifications to be practical.If it aint broke dont fix it. Still not as bad as morons with bog stock Hyundai excels fitting monster tachos with shift lights...What the hell for ? As if the factory tacho aint doin the job
  6. I just wish Nissan australia would start selling ALL Skylines here again like the old R31 days.What a great shame they stopped selling skylines here right when the really good ones were just being released
  7. not only will it throw the black cloud but you may not realise that often you will throwing small fireballs out the exhaust also between gearshifts..Looks cool and all but definately a defect sticker
  8. I was just about to say the exact same thing....but ya beat me to it..
  9. I do know there is always some shonky young dudes that hang around that area.I do go to Abbotsford a lot.Usually you can find them hanging around those shops/cafe near Coranto st. Sometimes you see these little trouble makers near the Primary school on Great North rd...They always look like they are up to no good...Sorry to hear dude...but speaking from a similar experience these are amatuers....they butchered the wiring
  10. Go Boston Accoustics...!!! or maybe Cerwin Vega
  11. nice machine....Is it true that they only come in Auto ?
  12. Ok I am gonna vote the supercharger for a few reasons.I have owned both at some stage...For overall power output the turbo wins hands down...However economy ...not so sure of...Yes the blower robs power however turbo cars drink juice in the sense that you get lag while building boost.My supercharged Commodore I modified would pull 9psi at idle if I floored it..So I only ever needed the smallest of throttle openings for a very short time to get it moving briskly..And once the foots off the blower was only recirculating air...But put the foot down and the bypass valve shuts and booom away it would go.Under maximum acceleration I would say the turbo would use less, but in the cut and thrust of normal driving...very hard to say...never right off supercharged cars, My one had throttle response as good or better than normally aspirated
  13. sorry to slightly go off subject here guys.But I was considering installing a surround sound set up for my DVd player.And the part that frustrated me was that these packages always came with a DVD player.Now my dvd player is great and no need to replace it.So this was no good to me, And buying all the amp and speakers - cost the earth.....So how did I get out of it on the cheap ? I installed the Logitech surround sound for PC's to my dvd player...Its got subwoofer and 4 speakers plus a a centre speaker...Sounds incredible ! people are very surpriseed when they listen and i tell them the whole lot is under $100 ....highly recommended if you really havent got the coin to spend
  14. great choice if I may say so
  15. be careful if you are degreasing with the gerni.I stuffed a belt tensioner pulley that way.Degreased the grease out and the bearings in it seazed squeeled a bit and snap..! one Belt left one the road on the way to work.Luckily it was only the Air con belt..
  16. Ok so your over Jap cars...It must have been a phase you were going through I guess.So what now ? Sell the skyline and turn into a full yuppie drivin the BMW? Dont forget to buy a matching hat and a pipe as well for the next match of Polo....FFS is this a Pro Skyline Forum or what ? All I am hearing is complaining...Sorry I owned one skyline and soon to buy another.I couldnt give a Rats scrotum about these yuppie cruisers...Sorry but just being honest
  17. Look at the orange peel in bmw's these days ... yes I agree, I have had a look at quite a few and your right..! The paint quality is really that poor.Lexus etc are so much finer quality cars.
  18. Yes I will give you the fact that Euro cars are prestige etc.However thats about it.I been behind the wheel of a few of them and honestly they are just ordinary cars that are ridiculously overpriced.Sure they may be a little quieter than most cars.And as far as build quality.they went down the toilet years ago.Ask anybody who ever works on one-They are just as big a shitheap as any falcadore.As far as I am told most of the mercs get their parts from Korea.I used to work in an unnamed company that had 50 Merc Sprinter vans...Every one of them blew gearboxes before hitting 100000 km..! ( $15000+ for the tiptronic auto )Then the diesel fuel injection systems started shitting themselves as well as computer glitches that wont allow it to go out of nuetral, doors that dont shut properly. I think VW is the best quality car in Germany right now...At least they are reliable
  19. My concern is how will it affect the value of other skylines here ? Will R34s drop big time in value ? I see this car pushing the price of skylines down...Correct me if you think I am wrong
  20. was it tuned with the screamer ? maybe piping the screamer into the exhaust may have changed the a/f ratios at the oxygen sensor ? or it may just be the fact that screamer pipes offer a massive horsepower gain over going traditional that you can now feel the loss
  21. Holy shit...! That car flew past me last night in five dock..the way he was driving it...You would never drive your own car that way.He flew past me on first ave,went straight through the red light and drifted it around the corner towards haberfield....I knew it had to be stolen
  22. good choice...You wont be dissapointed..But your right about those NSX's..they are overrated.I am yet to see one lap wakefield quicker than a type R or S2000...dismall considering the car specs
  23. I am with you on that one. It just dont look right...As for weight...heavy ?? try beefing up your arms you skinny weasels out there. I hate to see such a classic butchered...but not quite as dumb as people who put ridiculous 20" + heavy chrome wheels and 200kg of hi fi into a sports car...thats really dumb
  24. sorry but as nice as that BMW is....I'll take the GTR anyday of the week...
  25. wow just noting the spec sheet in the picture...520 hp....!!! very nice...I hope this is going to be the V-spec or something...very nice
