Some a little more than others

Aye aye ayeeeeeeeee *wink wink nudge nudge*

:laughing-smiley-014:

ahhh I fail..

ahahaha... you coming onto me Nic?

i'd just like to see this part of the forum kick off. a lot of people seem to have this notion that you need a turbo to own a skyline.

yeah ive certaintly gotton that a lot. so when r u turboing ur car.......................im not! NEVER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! hehehehehehe

im so over people telling me to put a turbo on my car...................its not gonna happen!!!

you'd be surprised how many people are like "your car looks so cool" and when i tell them its n/a they kinda lose interest.....quite sad really

ahahaha... you coming onto me Nic?

i'd just like to see this part of the forum kick off. a lot of people seem to have this notion that you need a turbo to own a skyline.

Yea well it's kicked off a fair bit in numbers since I can remember joining.

But It's just so difficult without a market to support the N/A

If they made super-charger kits, or hell even twin charger kits for the n/a that would be mint.. but meh.. Costs for something like that in terms of fabrication/mechanical without such a market is just too much. So there's only so much we can talk about before money plays a big factor.

Seeing as it's only been 2 years or so since the non turbo laws came in for NSW anyway, and some states soon to follow the trend. I think the N/A section can only continue to grow.

Also there's something for anyone mechanically minded to think about.. I know there's a big following for turbos in aus, but that also goes for N/A's whether it's v8's 6's or 4's.. If someone were to go into making different kits (Exhausts /superchargers/ high compression bits n pieces etc) for these cars locally I'm sure they could promote the growth. Not many people like paying over the internet to receive a part that's a couple thousand K's away meh..

And while we're on the topic of N/A's.. I think I'm selling my car soon (No, I'm not over skylines) I just want to go overseas and need the cash :thumbsup:

Rest assured though, when I get back etc and get some more money, I'll be back in the game. Not sure what I'll be after though, I appreciate a wide range of cars so who knows what I'll get.

yeah it is sad to actually see how shallow everyone is.

well everyone knows when you have a turbo you instantly become schumacher. no excuses when you get beaten by one though! :thumbsup:

Just like to say first point i love that 34 looks hot congrats Cara, and sorry for keeping on with the side thred :thumbsup:

Secondly when i first started getting into cars and imports and skylines i was all turbos blah blah na's are gay, n i had a mate who had an na and everyone at uni used to give him shit about it,

But then my car died and it came time for me to look for a new car and i loved skylines i was still a year and a half or so away from getting my full licence, and i live in an area swarming with traffic cops so i wanted something leagal and i loved skylines so i went and bought an na, It totaly changed my thoughts about the whole thing, coming from a v6 bit r missin to the na 33 was a huge jump, skyline out preformed in every way and i think if i had a turbo i would been more up-mself and prob totaled it with-in no time. I have way more respect for the actual cars themselves and what everone does with them now then i ever would have otherwise.

On a side note i know here in Vic in the last 2 years i have seen a huge increase in na skylines all over the place, and i have been talking with a few importing places and 1 place in particular told me they now bring in more na's then they do turbos. With a large number of p platers being a huge buyer market for skylines and all the new strickter and harsher rules Na's are going to grow and grow and so will this forum and the wealth of knowledge.

ps Cara you got any interia pics? is it stock inside or does it match the rest of the car??

N/A's are cool, cheaper on fuel, not many problems, no huge maintaince. i get the same thing when i tell people my car aint turbo, but the 4wd makes up for it around corners. im just gonna focus on handling and breaking aswell as some audio.

she is pretty much stock at the moment when it somes to the interior side of things, but in would like to go full leather interior one day..............ooooooooooo leather...................

owning a GT-V, I have people telling me to 'drop the turbo motor in it, you already have everything else turbo spec' but thats not what I want for my car. I don't want my car to be a money pit plus I love the fact that I average over 600K's to a tank.

can't agree more with you luke, especially an NA R34. I also have the same focus for my car as you.

what annoys me the most was at adelaide autosalon i went in the dyno comp...............she pulled out a nice 120 kW at the wheels, which i was happy with cause i really only did it for fun, but what annoyed me the most was the fact that they didnt have a N/A 6 cyclinder dyno comp trophy, due to there "not being enough interest" and i questioned them by saying but what about the new p plate laws in nsw/vic.............still not enough interest i got told.......... so i ended up being put in the turbo class............that shited me off big time.......especially when a 3.5 L magna bet me by 2 kW's and they wouldnt even let me re-run despite letting all the "high kW turbo cars" re running twice or even three times.

shame on that. i will show them big time............just wait............ :)

NAH!.. if its one thing I will never do.. its leather interior..

Its cold in winter.. so you heat up the car.. then you get all sweaty and sticky.. and gross.. and leather dosnt breathe.. so end up sweating weight off

And in summer.. its worse.. no matter what you do.. you will just sweat in a leather seat.. and get all gross..

not a good look..

    • Yes...but look at the numbers. There is a tiny tiny fraction of the number of Joules available, compared to what is used/needed. Just because things are "possible" doesn't make them meaningful.
    • Thanks for taking the time to post that ! If anything changes or happens please do update us. 
    • Somehow Vertimass/Oak Ridge National Labs has figured out a catalyst that can convert ethanol into C9-C10 hydrocarbons in basically a single step without ending up with a bunch of ethylene or similar waste products: https://patents.google.com/patent/WO2023224867A1/en I still don't think anything like this will keep us from needing to transition to EVs regardless along with all kinds of other electrification, but things like this will go a long way towards alleviating the problem of how to electrify things like planes. Renewable diesel is seemingly an easier problem as well, Chevron is already running refineries for the stuff and the primary feedstock is tallow and other waste fats from agriculture.
    • Ok so I have sorted everything with my uniclutch and  i can offer up a bit of feedback and some things that might help others.    I found problems with factory damper line. Weird shit and had trouble with peddle adjustment    I used this https://au.gktech.com/products/r33-gts-t-skyline-braided-clutch-line?_pos=2&_sid=22b01b9b9&_ss=r Also when adjusting peddle leave a bit of play. You can get into a over stroke condition easy.. Make sure you can push the slave forward after adjusting to confirm fluid can return to master then you will need to pump it up heaps…..not sure why but that’s how it is.    last thing the splined adapter is machined perfectly. If your input shaft is old like mine was I would put a bit of valve grinding paste on it and stroke it like a 15 year old. Just to give it a tad more clearance and to better match it to the spline.    reason is on a near flat shift I have had situation where the peddle returns a millisecond after you lift from the clutch. No slip or anything but I reckon this is due to tolerance on the spline being way tighter than stock clutch and binding for a sec. I think this will go away but also my spline was old. Box is old so I guess I should have checked better. It’s a super neat fit.    it feels light as and holds awesome without any noise
