Anyone seen this. Its an episode of top gear where the R35 GTR is raced against a bullet train (and other trains) across Japan. Pretty funny to watch, if ya have a spare 35 minutes its pretty good.. Got alittle excited once he got to the hills near the end :)

hey guys,

i just had my old shitty cat convertor removed (same cat back from when my 33 was complied) and replaced with a second hand 3 incher that i picked up off a forum member. When we were removing the old one, we noticed that the sensor wasnt even screwed into the cat and was tucked away above the heat shield, and the housing for the sensor was welded shut...

the car ran pretty good however... didnt miss a beat, making nice power.

So after getting the new bigger cat installed, we welded the sensor hole shut, as the last cat had.

Anybody else have this? Is it a disadvantage not having that sensor in (supposedly doing its job)?

i think its just a temp sensor, puts i light on the dash if the cat overheats, not 100% sure though.

Blasphemy!!!

Stags are Volvo wannabe's - just look at the boxy ass end and bug eye headlights?!, How can you say that's sexy? :huh:

thanks ted

Thats rich considering legnums simply look like a magna wagon! :P I'll quite happily run my stagea against a legnum!

And that 33's are by far the most whalish looking out of the skylines, i know this my MUM drives one! :rofl:

your mum is the coolest cat ever Ben :P Is that where you get your addiction from?

Yeah mum and dad are both into cars, dads partly calmed down these days, if you can call a supercharged jag calm that is! And mum loves her 33, regularly tells me the cars she drags off from the lights! lol! As opposed to being the type of parents that would warn me against buying fast cars, all dad would ever ask is "can i have a drive?"! Mum only ever worried when i bought my GSXR1000 motor bike, dad still asked if he could have a go! lol!

i agree mate, but we aren't talking about 33's now are we.

Also lee they seen to be missing a turbo :(

on the legnum down side they put the engine in the wrong way ;)

Agreed on that point steve, east west does become a pain to work on

haha, I've had both a 33 and a "magna wagon" :)

But still, running a legnum against a 260RS isn't really a fair comparison. Against a normal RS4 is reasonable :rofl:

    • Just something I found searching for more info on Emotion R, apparently the ECR33 Skyline GTS25t was either originally black, or there were two of them, the black one being the original demo car, then building a white one which was part of the 1997-onwards (to at least 2008!) Cockpit Tatebayashi Tokyo Auto Salon booth demo cars. It appears that Emotion R closed down in 2008 and was declared bankrupt in 2010: http://bank-db.com/hasan/208365.

    • Try fabricating something like this and install it under the pedals? Not sure if it's legal or not....
    • Even though I have some pretty good (brand) ratchet ringies, I avoid using them to break open tight bolts. A broken ratchet is very annoying.
