shit it felt like it had more power than that.. maybe cos it took 5k to spool haha yea i distinctly remember saying not to sell that one as well

im using a ECUTalk consult box thingo, so i can see a digital readout, but still that's a pretty awesome idea its always bothered me that i can see the temp change 15 degrees without the needle moving, didnt realise there was a normalisation circuit

whats in it james? quicker or slower than the old one?

whats this then? stop swapping cars, i think you have some sort of disease man edit: i still have lock nuts for you haha

i was at a blokes house the other week doing a job.. noticed he had a new aston dbs (or db9, they all look the same to me) in the garage.. started talking to him about it.. he told me it was his daily driver i said the obvious thing about avoiding carparks, etc.. and he told me already he's had some bitch in a hundi swing her door into it! people are fkn retards

that looks fresh!

edit: i was going to say something but im mistaken!

Id agree with that.. Thing is, i'm betting many people won't dig it.. and although most of the time you don't modify a car with regards to resale value i think painting it flat/satin black will have a big impact on resale (ability not just price!)

that looks pretty tuff man

here you go.. im sure there are other photos of this floating around the net, i first saw flicks of it a couple years ago satin black looks a heap better than just flat black too -- usually satin looks like it was done properly, and flat black just looks like you did it with $2 tins of spray paint even if done correctly..

i wouldnt have the balls to do it to mine.. but it would look pretty cool ive seen a flick of one before, ill try dig it up for you

Sorry for the hijack.. Good choice in car dude, gun metal f6 cant go wrong Is it auto or manual?

Although not the same far reaching heritage as the gt or gtho namesake; the hsv gts is now merely a clubby r8, not a real gts as previously the gts of the lineup had a different motor and early on different boxes (4 bolt main/grp a block, aussie stroker motor, hrt blueprint stroker, callaway built ls1) Ford releasing a factory blown gt trumps hsv trying to pass off a fake gts so they can tell customers that their current ones are cheaper than previous gen ones.. Sorry.. Its something that really irks me for some reason, and ive previously owned a commo and a hsv, never a ford

In standard torqueless cars autos arent faster..

uncalled for dude.. you're on a skyline forum for a start.. this isnt skylines-and-4doorsilviasaustralia.com tenfour has owned a few, and his last one would certainly have trounced your ceff

Lots of interesting stuff here.. As soon as read that the aus ones copped 260kph speedos i thought hell yea im buying one.. But they still only go to the 3 oclock position.. I thought they'd wrap around with extra numbers

i'm sure there's just as many dickheads in skylines to be honest ..and volvos.. and hondas.. and fords..

still wont be able to catch the nonners ceffy's who run perth streets yo

from what i understand "road rage" is a "hoon" offense.. i thought members of the public could sign a stat dec that someone had committed a "hoon" offense and that they'd be prosecuted? ..or does it only apply when prosecuting the owner of a modified car?

you're fkn awesome that's easily the best post in this whole thread after reading all this bs i wanna pull my highflow out and replace it with a straight pipe

although i have no experience with auto skylines, a few years back when i had a auto commodore i had the box rebuilt with a street/strip shift kit + histall and it was definitely worthwhile doing! it'll snap through the gears instead of sloppy lurching on shifts, way more satisfying to drive if you can find a place that'll modify your torque convertor or go a proper histall it'd definitely be benefitial as far as getting it on boost from a standstill, i had a centrifugal blower on my commo which wouldn't start really moving til 3k but once i got the histall it'd just smoke the tyres off the line

i'm actually not debating whether it's morally/legally correct to run a cat or not.. i simply hate the mis-information spread on the internet about cars and the laws, especially if it's to the point where people are talking about going to jail for a modification to a car, usually i wouldn't post but it annoyed me that much.. i like the fact there's been no link to this $10g fine for individuals.. and that somehow you'd get charged with some unknown offense if you were to ask a workshop to replace your cat with a pipe.. y'all realise you have to commit a criminal offense to be incarcerated, right? and no, the ridiculous scenario someone put forward is not realistic, nor is actually getting caught and charged for it if it were to actually happen for the record, i run a cat on my car.. and guess what.. my car still backfires and pops an occasional flame.. oh shit, call the police, i might blind someone and kill schoolchildren!

wtf man.. you must think it's the rammstein pyrotechnics set or something? besides, you can still pop a flame even if you got a cat surely you're just taking the piss.. and i can't tell cos it's the internet?? realisticly all that will happen is you'll get a yellow (for a loud exhaust), you put a cat on, pass the pits, remove the cat, repeat process. if a workshop gets found to be gutting cats and refitting them then yes i'm sure they'll be in strife.. but as an individual nothing will happen to you; think about how our legal system actually works.. imagine being brought up in front of a magistrate, the prosecuting cop reading out the statement of facts, "your honour, the accused was running an exhaust that was merely a straight pipe - he actually removed the catalytic convertor!! i know it's not my place to say, but really your honour, this guy is up there with HITLER!" ..the magistrate then agrees and decides that you're best off being segregated from our much more civilized society, where people don't just run *GASP* straight pipes off the motors in their 15yr old japanese cars! leave that for the 3rd world, that's nothing more than savagery!! then the magistrate nods to the court police who slap the cuffs on you and take you into the next room so that they can whisk you away, where you rot behind bars for the rest of your days.. yes.. maybe you'll think twice about this "de-cat" business - it's your life!

spoolz and nisskid chuck up some more photos of your cars.. both look real very individual/interesting, i reckon they're both cool as

hahaha why make up/repeat absolute bullshit
