Yeah thats what i thought. But ker34 mentioned that the parents were told otherwise...

Bit hard to believe a car could bounce enough @ that speed to deploy airbags?

I don't think it was a case of "bouncing", but more one of suspension bottoming out hard enough to deploy the airbags..

There's a bump on South Western Hwy where Mudijong Rd hits it, if you're heading North and take the right hand lane past the turn off. I've hit that an 90kph in my 'line, something bottomed out, something went THUD. Nothing was broken and my non-existant airbags didn't deploy but fk, I have never taken that lane again :P

The only ways they can stop people crashing is if they were to limit the speed of all cars to like human walking speed of 4km/h.

Dude, you know the old vietnamese ladies are still going to crash... they cant see over the wheel man...lol :laugh:

Oh and volvo drivers...................................................cuz they can!! :ph34r:

and thanks Tom for my new sig...

Just a slight correction on your sig, by shitbox I meant 4cly, then there was 30% in family falcodores and 17% in 4wds

so for you sig its 80% in shit boxes including commodores, lol :D

If you have a fast car your gona speed for the thrill and fun of it.. If you have a piece of shit car your not going to because its gona probably make the car shitter then it already is.. or its just no fun coz its a shitbox lol..

I disagree.

I'm way more likely to thrash something I don't care about.

Any car can be fun to drive when you're pushing the limits, but only a nice car can still be fun when you're not.

Well at least the crash wouldn't result in serious accidents... can they?

It'll be like 2 cars crash into each at @ 4km/h & the car behind would be like, oh no! I'm slowly driving into the crash @ 4km/h & I don't have time to react & step on the brakes... :)

+1 to that, I reckon I'm alot more careless when I'm driving my mum's car.

    • As you're looking at using a Link ECU, then large injectors are not a problem. But there's not really any need to go 1000s on an RB20 unless you're planning >>600HP on E85, which would seem unlikely. There are other options for injectors. The Xspurt ones are available from a number of places and you can get them in the mid 600s and 725cc, which is probably a sensible place to be. These are all EV14 based. If you are not using the stock AFM (at all, which would be the case with a Link) then a large turbo intake pipe to suit the ATR turbos is not an obstacle, so you should use one instead of a highflow. Results will be better.
    • Hey guys,  I'm after some advice and this here is the best place to get it imo. I was a member a looong time ago under another account, with a lost email address. Its nice to jump back on and see some of the same names still giving good advice.  I mothballed my car when i moved to perth in 2013, and after getting towed across the nullabor a few times it has officially done more km's on a trailer than under its own power. Now that i have started the process of tidying up and modifying it, i see the fruit available (and the fruiterers selling the produce) is different than back in the day. hence my questions, as i used to 'know' what to get and now, i'm not so sure. Engine wise the car (92 gtst) has a walbro 255, k+n, fmic, cam gears and and turbo back 3"exhaust. Wish list is a Hypergear high flow or ATR43G1, Link G4x and some newer injectors before a tune up. My goals are modest, only low 200's power wise. i know i could achieve this with less, but i've been swapping out old for new where i can. Every cooling hose has been replaced, along with mani gaskets, WP, thermostat and radiator, fuel pump and timing belt, tensioner and idler, and i rebuilt the steering rack. Regarding the injectors, the fruiterers all seem to sell what used to be considered quite large injectors. There are a lot of options for bosch 1000cc EV14's, and i would like to know if that is a suitable choice for my build. Is modern injector design good enough to run these at the low duty cycles that i likely would be? is there a downside to running a too large injector these days? or, would there be an upside to running a smaller injector at higher duty cycle? I can see that there are smaller injectors still available, but the ones i have seen specifically marketed for RB's are pretty large (see: https://golebysparts.au/collections/fuel-rail-injector-kits/products/nissan-rb20-fuel-rail-bosch-980cc-1150cc-injectors-turbosmart-fpr800-regulator-kit), and i dont know enough about them to say one not marketed for RB's would fit or not. I have searched the forums, and amongst all the posts on older tech, I did see gtsboy recommend EV14's, but no size was mentioned... again, i'm not clear on if the smaller size bosch injectors are also EV14's as they do look similar.  also, if someone can recommend a tuner familiar with RB's in the Geelong or West Melbourne area i'd appreciate it. Thanks in advance guys. Cheers, Rowdy  
    • FWIW the depth of the groove in the rubber pad is not super essential, the blocks are rubber and squish a bit. If you are worried an angle grinder will make a deeper groove quick smart
    • I mean, if you were to move the jacking points away from the original location, that is, away from the wheels and closer to the centreline of the car, then it will be more likely to overbalance and tip off the supports. Same as we talked about before. I was talking about moving for-aft. If the sill is bent outward or inward, then the car would obviously look unstraight from the outside. Hopefully that hasn't happened either. Again, you can do comparative measurements from the chassis rails to see if there is much deflection.
    • Can you elaborate what you mean with your first sentence? I meant move as in the bulge kinda seemed like it got pulled "outward" meaning it got pulled down and to the side with the jacking rail itself, so the load bearing bulge now sits lower than usual and is not level with the sill on the other side of the jack point. Either that or the jacking rail just got pushed in a good bit.
