another thing is isnt it legal to have nos jus for show in the car aslong as its not hooked up? and even if its not how easy would it be to pull the nos out n in again compared to any other mod like turbo n supercharging

I don't see what so unique about spending money on an NA skyline? or any skyline for that matter? there is at least 15 million of them on australian roads.

Modifying Commondores aint unique also... theres 11ty billion of them on Australian roads - half of them have sick chromies, V8 supercar spec loud zorst, frosted/clear tail lights and massively dumped. :banana:

Myself, I spend money on the Skyline purely for the enjoyment of modifying it to how I want. Not to be unique but to my satisfaction.

my mums has a tissue box n lawn bowls hat in the back parcel shelf aswell as disabled parking permit in the front :( gives ya street cred with the grannies

couldnt stop laughing when i had to drive it and a fellow vp driver gave me a head of respect or something :banana:

no its illegal in every way. touch wood nothing ever happens.

i found out i can be defected for just having the lines in there because it still classified as "intent of use" or whatever it is. :banana: and i mean how many times would the police have heard "oh no officer its only for track i would never use it on the street" and then catch the same person using it on the street? makes it hard for people like me who are being honest, and would never use it on the street.

hey ya dont even have to do that, on the stickers it says check the sticker not the driver. i saw one on the rear window of this old ladies camry,

MissR34,

I still don't believe doing the NOS thing is a smart mod as the outlay + bottle refills + the risk of fines + easily being defected + the lack of practicality at mallala (no AIR) simply is not worth the hassle to try something different.

I genuinely do hope the overall look of your car doesn't attract the police enough for them to pop the hood and find that nos kit. With police who cruise these forums do be carefull posting pics of your car so it doesn't become known.

If you do end up going ahead with it.. Don't be weak go with a 200hp dry kit; John loves his autronic ecu's which will handle it fine with a set of larger injectors. But as with anything if you want it to be reliable and make it worth the risk you will have to spend the $$.

Once you get a little power under that foot you will want more. If you are starting to venture in to the power arena consider building the car with a little more power head room just incase; power is addictive and its fun. Most who go there almost always want more.

You don't need to get narky with me as I'm only speaking the truth and definitely not digging at you but rather slightly concerned of the police attention that may very well have you throw up your arms and get out of the scene.

Best of luck.

Very sensitive aren't we.

I never once made a mention about commodores yet two people felt the need to chip in about all the non individual ones.

MissR34 do whatever you like, most people probably coudn't care less what you do with your car, so as lots of people have said. Do your own thing.

If you really want to stand out though put a periscope on it.

went for a hills run before, just missed a koala sitting in the middle of the road. must of been like a couple of cm's from missing it.

mmmmmm hks exhaust sound in the tunnels :D

    • I would like more noise related info for my truly uneducated guess  Does it do it at idle or when revving, clutch engaged, and disengaged? Does it only do it when the car is moving? I've heard "similar" noises from a clutch pack that left the chat room, and CV joints that have chewed themselves out But as Matt said, how's the yokes, tailshaft and centre bearing going after their last little issue Fingers crossed it is something simple  Weird noises make me cringe 
    • One other question, is there a chance that changing the idle speed can lead you down a rabbit hole and is the reason the tuner didn't touch it? Reason I ask is because if that's the reason the tuner avoided it then I probably shouldn't be touching it lol.
    • Pfft. As if I'd ever point a high pressure washer at my car.
    • The nature of my commute has changed. Way back then it was traffic lights all the way, for ~28km. It sucked. When they finally stitched the expressway together I could do a good 15+km of it at a steady 80-100 with no stopping. That alone has gotten me down to flat 10s. Prior to that it was mid-high 10s. I can't remember the delta that I saw when I got the idle down. It was only ~150 rpm, because the idle speed was never terrible, but for the delta in consumption to be noticeable it would have had to have been at least 0.2-0.3 L/100km - which is not to be sneezed at when it comes for absolute free. It's only about 50L per year, but that's ~$100. A few extra pizzas is always welcome. Note that I have a record of every tank of fuel that has ever gone through my car except for a handful put in by someone else, like my mechanic. I can show you the difference between stock RB20 and tuned RB20, stock RB5Neo and tuned, winter and summer fuel blends, winter and summer fuel blends when the ambient temperature is not appropriate for the blend, working O2 sensor, blown O2 sensor, boosting f**k out of it and frightened to boost it because it is pinging, and so on. OK, I probably can't do all that now with 100% clarity - but at the time when any of those things were in event, you could see it in the records. There's 25+ years of simple tank after tank records, so you have to look for landmarks to work out approximately how old any single record is. What's really important is the meta data and that lives in my head.
    • If you're claiming the issues are not skyline specific, then either the USA is living in the 90s / early 2000s, OR you have the issue of "survivor bias". Which is you're mainly hearing and listening to those with terrible experiences, and haven't found the guys who have cars with good decent builds and no problems. It happens in AU too, that plenty of people keep having issues, and they keep going to the workshops that are known to be shit "because I read on the internet". Even worse, are those who keep posting on the internet as though they know for a fact what something is, when they've never touched/looked at said item in their life, and again are making assumptions, based on something they read, or because it's a certain way in other cars. It's even funnier when those same people debate the facts with the people who've lived and breathed this stuff for over 15 years. Example, I've had someone tell me you can't do something with a Skyline, because they read it on the internet, except I can tell they're wrong, as I did that exact thing back in 2008 with my Skyline.
