Another Skyline Casuality: Damn Lancers


Recommended Posts

Too many stupid drivers out there thinks that ALL cars are auto..... as soon as you release brake your car will move, so they move too...

I've had this kind of drivers on my tail all the time and it sometimes really gets me to the nerves in traffic jams.

Those ppl need some proper driver education, and some reality lesson that not all cars are auto! Maybe Vicroads should eliminate auto-only P license, and all people who want to get a driving license require a full test in a manual vehicle...

cbf reading all the replies to this post, sorry to ghear about it bro, its annoying when fags hit you then it takes ages to get the money outta them (referring to the DICKHEAD who hit me on the heatrhcote day!) but yer hope its resolved soon for you.. and i recommend NOT going to palm as gordo's car has been there for aggessssss

  • 2 weeks later...

thats nothing ... my whole back bumper is bent ... and the back panel ... its getting fixed now ... i've had my car fixed before at this place and they did an ok job ... wouldn't say great but good enough ... but yeah count urself lucky as ur damage wasn't that bad ..

Hey guys,

A damn lancer ran into the back of me tonight. I had driven to the end of my street and was waiting at a T intersection for traffic to clear, and the lancer was sitting behind me. Was about to go but thought one car coming was moving a bit quicker so I put my foot back on the brake (hadnt moved forwards yet) and the lady behind me must have been distracted thought i was moving off and drove into the back of me.  

:goddam:  

My rear bumper is pushed in, and  damage to my muffler i think.  

Could have been worse I guess.

Oh well maybe another skyline to head to palm.

Adam.

adam i feel for u mate:(

how dare they...even thought i am a lancer driver as well./

i swear i saw a white 33 drove past CQU yesterday while i was waiting to pick up my bf from uni...and i saw the back bumper was badly damaged...i was think its the cause of a drift!@@

hope u be fine soon

she pays for it doesnt she

    • Jap premium will be 100 RON. You should use 98.
    • The exhaust gases are at their highest temperature as they leave the exhaust port and enter the manifold. They cool as they flow through the manifold because they transfer heat to the manifold and the manifold loses heat to the surrounding environment. Thus, inevitably, the exhaust gases are cooler as they enter the turbo compared to when they entered the exhaust manifold. So, yes, the exhaust manifold can easily get as hot as the turbine housing. Having said that, you will generally see the highest temperatures where the exhaust gases have to slow down or they are concentrated into one area - which is usually the collector on the manifold and in the turbine housing, because the gases slam into the metal at those places, increasing the convective heat transfer coefficient and transferring even more heat to the metal than they might just flowing past elsewhere. Exhaust manifold heat shields are a good idea - certainly for the stock manifold they are there from the factory. People seldom have anything like that on a tubular manifold because they are hard to achieve. Some might wrap a tube manifold with fibreglass tape - but this has a reputation of leading to cracked welds. The best case is generally to put ceramic coating onto the manifold to prevent it getting as hot (internal coating) and radiating/convecting heat into the bay (external coating). All the real heat from a turbo comes from the exhaust side. The gases entering are at ~800-900°C and the steel/iron gets nearly that hot. The compressor side is only going to heat the charge air up to <<200°C (typically not much more than 100°C). So that's nothing, by comparison. The compressor is not a significant source of engine bay heat.
    • Late to the party, specifically joined this forum as I just bought one of these and this thread has been a gold mine of info. If the OP is still around, mind if I ask what gas you been putting in yours? Mine has a Japanese sticker in the cap saying premium but it seems to get way worse mileage on premium (95) than 91. I always thought it was meant to be the other way round🤷 I do think Nissans claimed "6l/100km" is a bit fantastical 😂
    • Does exhaust manifold get hot as turno exhuast side? I have a turbo cover to managr heat in the engine bay but  nothing is covering the exhaust manifold before turbo   i know as turbo does compress air, the temp does go up however does that mean exhaust manifold would be as hot?
    • It's excellent but I'm still breaking it in so I'm not 100% sure where it'll end up. I would say it's about 15% heavier than stock and the smoothness of the slip zone is quite progressive but you need to be a little patient compared to stock or it'll bite hard and stall. Stock I got away with absolutely horrid clutch control. Like I said before I couldn't even tell where the clutch would grab when it was stock so releasing way too quickly without enough revs it would just slip and the revs would drop lower than ideal but that would be the end of it. Currently there's a bit of a nasty clutch judder if I don't apply enough revs + find the exact wrong point of the slip point in the clutch pedal but it feels like it's slowly resolving as I drive it more. I would not recommend the competition clutch unless you really need the extra clamp force. I think this clutch combined with the Nismo operating cylinder is going to be exactly what I want. Enough bite that you need to remember the release point to avoid stalling or rough shifts, but progressive enough that it's not hard to drive by any means and not heavy at all. I tried a "super single" clutch on my friend's 997.2 Turbo 6MT and that was absolutely horrid. It runs an electrohydraulic power steering pump for the clutch power boost so there's zero feedback in the clutch pedal and there was a horrific clutch shudder well after break-in due to the lack of marcel springs or hub springs in the friction disk. It felt like the slip zone was the thickness of a single toe twitch as well so it was almost impossible to avoid stalling it unless you gave it a ton of revs and just dumped the clutch instead of trying to be smooth with it. I was terrified of pulling out in front of traffic. I have also tried some kind of "super single" on an EK9 and that makes this twin plate Coppermix look like a stock clutch. Releasing the clutch pedal even slightly too quickly feels like you're getting rear-ended. The pedal is extremely heavy as well and there's no vacuum assist like the GTR.
