yeah auto sux but hey the car was cheap - couldn't get a manual for this price!

i have the launches going pretty good at the moment by stalling the auto but i'm not sure if this is bad to do repetidly so i keep that in the bag for when i'm racing and i don't really practise.

agreed.

histall and shift kit it.

then you can chirp too :)

Auto is the way to go if your gonna go for serious times.

I've seen a VL with a 3000 stall... off the mark at the 3000... and it lit up the whole street.

I was amazed i tell you. Never seen anything like that before!

I heard some stock gearboxes don't take to histalls to well ?

dunno what gearboxes/models they would be though.

But watch those S15's. They are mighty quick. I got done hard one night by one... and that was in MY car!!!

I'd like to correct you all, one of my previous cars was a 1991 Laser TX3 which ran a 13.0 flat, and the full time 4WD was excellent, even managed to hose a few slightly mod'd GTR's....

Just watch out if the TX3 has the 4WD badging otherwise you should beat them all....

But watch those S15's. They are mighty quick. I got done hard one night by one... and that was in MY car!!!

hehehe..yes, yes... if i get bored of the R33 i well might go about importing a jap spec-R S15 next year.. .

Even with the small amount of mods on mine, if i transferred them across (not that i could for all of them, but you know the same sorts of things)..I'd be look at 200rwkw in the s15 with plenty more to grow - and thats in a 1250kg car! I've heard 250rkw isn't out of the question with a bigger turbo and fairly stock internals... @ 1250kg! NUTZ

I wasn't gonna tel anybody...but before I pulled my engine down I got handsomly owned by a bloody turbo sigma !! My thing would have probably pulled a 13.9 down the qtr at best....I got owned by about 3 carlengths to 130 or so.....

You cant tell til you race...I cant handle losing so am building a better engine....when I find him I'm gonna paste him...

U can't import them anymore dude .... they got a few non-turbo ones in before the authorities caught on (pre 1999 models, as they weren't released here) but I believe importation in any form is no longer possible - in fact you cant even bring in anything that could be reassembled here .... they got really tough on it!

    • Finally got shipping number for the intake and throttle body, shipped by UPS, so "should" be in my hands sometime next week, fingers fracking crossed
    • I'm so far behind in the jobs I have to do at both work and home (including car) that I have become immortal. There's simply no way that I can die now.
    • Each to their own I guess  Me, I put just as much time into cleaning inside of the cars as I do on the outside As for getting wet, it is really no different than steam cleaning the carpets at home, apart from the cars carpet dries alot faster than the house, again, I only do it in the hotter months and leave the car opened up for a few hours As I only do it yearly, it is just before I do the diff and gearbox service, so I clean the carpets, then it's up on stands, wheels off, service, clean the undercarriage,  grease the bushings and do a nut and bolt check on everything  Disclaimer: I typically had all the time in the world to kill when I was working 馃ぃ, so spending a full day or 2 cleaning, serving and "looking at stuff" was,  easily achievable, and a fun mental therapy day As for time to kill, I retired last Wednesday, so apart from my physical training, my days are filled with lots of random jobs around the house and garden...."Idle hands are the Devils something something" I am also buying a new house sooner rather than later, I'm actually looking at a potential property tomorrow, I'm looking forward to getting a car hoist as I'm starting to get to old to crawl around under a car, I can only imagine all the undercarriage cleaning and looking at stuff when that gets set up
    • Yeah, I'm not interested in wetting the carpets, and I don't care about brown dirt/dust that lives deep in the pile or underneath. It's not like I crawl around on them in my birthday suit or eat dropped food off them (because there is never any open food in my car). The seats are alcantara (cheap Chinese imitation alcantara, to be sure!) with barely 1" of foam pad behind the surface. That's not getting wet either. Any car that I would be happy to get the interior wet, I would not care to put the effort into.
    • We have one that holds 2.8L of water. On floor carpet that hasn't been touched in 2 or 3 years, will take a minimum of 2 fills of the tank to do a bedroom, and that's going AROUND the bed.   In the cruiser, I used an ENTIRE 2.8L tank, just on the front passenger footwell. But it had some fungus growing, and had been full of mud from being used as a 4WD for many years. I can do that floor again, and it will still pull mud out. However, the water now only looks dirty, not pitch black and leaving full sludge in the bottom of the tank it sucks back into. Oh, and, this is about a $1500 unit.
