I thought I would steal Fast Fours idea and put up a Kill Stories thread on Skylines Australia too ;) A place to post your recent kill stories.

Private property of course :D

Just had some mad fun up and down the Great Western Raceway (GWR).

Came across a silver 89 model predule with a stainless exhaust tip and black rims (had a G.P.C. performace sticker on the back??) Didn't think too much of it, gave it a boot and to his credit the thing went pretty good, only had him buy about 2-3 car lengths

If anyone knows anything about this car then I would love to know what is done to it, it was chirping 3rds

We had a couple of more races with the same results.

Then we came across a blue Nissan Gazelle with a fugging huge front mount.

Raced about 5 times and beat him every time, however he seemed to have huge top end cause I chopped him thorugh 1st and 2nd but he started pulling back in 3rd. Must of been an aftermarket turbo cause he was spooling like a bitch

Anyway was a good night :)

Driving through Tamworth one night there was a VT/VX with black windows and big chrome mags. I just thought it was a standard V8 till I found him beside me doing 60, then he just lit the thing up.... I was like wtf. Then he took off and nearly ran into the arse end of some old granny. After that I kept my distance.

Same night I had a run against a orange RX3/808 or capella, I dont know my rotaries that well, and was he kept climbing up to the line to egg me on, soon as it turned green I dropped it and got away pretty quickly, beat him by a mile.... but when he caught up he revved his car up to make the BOV go off...

      R32 GTR clutch master cylinder adapters

      I replaced the whole clutch line with the chase bays braided hose, I think it removes that loop, is it the short hose that comes immediately off the slave or is there a drawing in the manual to find what you’re referring to? It was just re-bled when I upgraded to the nismo slave, old slave worked fine but I thought that might help, didn’t change a thing. It’s like the first half of the pedal is pushing air and then when it finally actuates the master the friction zone is tiny. Makes it practically impossible to launch the car

      Yep, that was one of the things we learned fast in the past with our MX5. When you drive with the top down, you are effectively standing out in the sun, 100% of the time, and not getting in any shade (because roads aren't shaded generally!). Just like standing out in the middle of a field on a sunny 27C day is a bit of a bad plan, so is sitting in a MX5 without sun protection.

      I also just ordered some Frankenstein bolts and side mounts to fit a hard top Just in case I do find one, basically so it doesn't need to be fixed to the car with only the front latch.......and then gaffa tape to keep it in place for the RTN journey from wherever I get it

      If your temps are fine now, you probably won't have any issues with where your vents are as they don't look right up at the windscreens high pressure area, so any differences when giving it the beans for extended happy laps would be minimal, but, they should vent heaps when stuck in traffic  Much like how that reverse cowl on my SS let "visible" heat out when stationary, but, because it was basically at the windscreen my coolant temps on the Hwy actually raised because air was being fed into it at speed (110kph), to only come back down to around 90° when I got off the Hwy And your 100% correct about the NC currently not needing vents, but, if I was to add a turbo, and a oil cooler and intercooler in front of the condenserand radiator, and then take it to the track???? It is apparently a recommend requirement if I don't want to worry about coolant or oil temp issues, but, any of the above are possible scenarios, over time As it sits now, with the triple pass radiator and stock air conditioning system, I have absolutely no issues with either temps or air conditioning efficiency, I've been basically daily driving thie car for the last month, both on the Hwy, and peak hour, bumper to bumper traffic, but, that's pretty much expected from basically a standard engine  Talking about no issues daily driving, it was 39° the other day and I was sitting in bumper to bumper traffic on the M5 and then M7, with the top down, and with the air conditioning blowing nice cold air on my feet, balls, and face, well, there was one issue, my head and arms got pretty sun burnt Note to self: leave a hat and sunscreen in the car for such days 🤣

      I would agree, unless you need something specific to the HV motor/battery side repaired or investigated, any mechanic will be able to perform normal services, but if you prefer, maybe look for a mechanic who regularly services/repairs Nissans, the VQ engines are pretty common in the Nissan lineup.  Sorry, I can't make any suggestions, I don't live in Vic.
