I drove a evo 9 on a rally track one time, was one of the most amazing driving experiences of my life (not that ive had many so far ..), evo has always been one of my dream cars though driving a rally spec one on rally tracks was freaking amazing, scared the sh** out of me though, i shat even more when the instructor took me for a hot lap after

ahh I see, Cheers everyone! I dont feel so clueless now haha, was most worried about the launch

im confused as to whether slipping or dropping is better, i googled it and it seems to be a mixed opinion some say dropping wear out gearbox some say slipping wear out clutch

it would appear im noobier than i thought .. i always increased my tyre pressure before going on any skidpans .. why decrease tyre pressure? thanks for the advice though, i actually have no clue how to do a "racing start" LOL im a granny spec driver ... fml how embarassing to say this on a skyline forum! ill head down to the drags this coming wed or next for sum lols and post up my times for you guys ... if their <18 seconds .... nothing over, that would just be embarassing to post on a public forum. in fact 18s probably embarassing as well

Yeah I hope to pop down on the next drag night for some fun, ive been to a few skidpans and had fun with those, the instructor in the car always said i was a bit lightfooted and i could have gone much harder im still learning though so i figured it would be best to go slow and whats well within my control just didnt wanna embarass the other skyline owners down there on the night with my crappy time not gna bother modding the n/a skyline past what ive done really, which is good tyres, exhaust and high flow panel filter ... will prob work on suspension/brakes after but yeah

good time mate! very impressive I still need to try going to a drag strip but as nikk_666 said .. scared the time will be fail. i dont mind anything around 15 though that seems reasonable ... but since itll be my first time at drags im expecting to fail miserably

+1 for FI but off the shelf products i do like autoglym products, followed by megs/mothers noone i love waxes that can be applied without drying, i use them on all my other cars.. but only the best for the skyline i believe FI is releasing a spray wax sooner though .. meant to be similar to OCW which is another great spray wax

I use Meguiars Microfibre Wash mitts

holy sh** i didnt know that

Mine's doing the same thing, if I remember someone told me it was cos my front bumper was sagging which made the seal not fit as it should or something ..

it looks good mate ive been thinking of getting a bonnet like that for my 34 with a new front bumper ... mine are both all stone chipped and kinda need a new front bumper anyway its sagging something special i like the one without the line in the middle though if you get what i mean.. more of the East Bear one

that is one nice 31!

^ looks great

the car on the box thingo is the same colour as mine

the dipsticks still at the correct level though I drive around the streets like a granny

was just fine, but i havent seen any difference since using turbolight .. and its much cheaper

dude that looks AMAZING with the black wheels and no spoiler!! and +1 to the satisfaction of any DIY no matter how small and another +1 to what adams said great to see a thread based on something other than performance, and love all the jobs you've done yourself you gotta come help us out with our cars too now - you must have learnt alot doing all this man! Hoping to get another bunky to mess around on soon ... Seriously man .. GOOD JOB

lol yeah i love point walter! always take the missus out there for a date ... ahah i graduated last year from applex

^ I used to go to school right next to wireless hill! but yeah that is a nice quiet location with some good views good idea, didnt think about that

^ best i can do in that area is prob the SSS pulsie with sr20det swap

i got my bodykit done with greg too great guy

I saw this up for sale a few months ago for alot more if i remember .. I'm going to check out the 2 manual R31s (one is a silo!), the SR20DET n14, and the 76 celica soon i hope! *edit* im almost getting sick of gumtree lol haven't looked up any cars for the past few days

^ nono there was a thread about this, its purely on the diameter of the piping. bigger is better. more flow is good.

Their a bit more than a 5k in perth ... and the only ones around that price are auto by getting something like a R31/civic/pulsar im hoping that I can get a better example of one which wont have as many problems .. for example my old excel only had very minor problems with it thats the idea neway!

nothing at all!
