LOL @ this comment posted on that video

"No no no. You guys don’t get it. This car is designed to protect the occupants of the opposing vehicle. The Chery Amulet itself, the whole car, is the crumple zone."

It would be a perfect opportunity to pull over a bikie on his Harley, so I don't know why they would turn a blind eye. Makes it easier to target members of bike gangs for something. You know the old pull the suspected murderer over for jaywalking because we have nothing else on him routine or for an example even closer to home pull a skyline over for being too low or for having wheels that are 'too big' so that they can get a look under the hood.

Rumour and speculation had led me to believe that Harley's and certain touring bikes had a factory exemption for the 90dB noise limit. Disclaimer: I could be wrong!

Anyone got any other crash test videos ?

- Adam

You may have already seen these videos but here is the crash test for the Chinese-built Brilliance BS6. These totally 'BS' cars are already on sale in Europe.

Brilliance BS6 crash test

A reviewer on the autoblog website stated that "The BS6, as currently constructed, appears to a complete piece of crap." You can read the review at http://www.autoblog.com/2007/06/22/brillia...s-anything-but/.

The same review also contains a link to the crash test of a Chinese SUV and the reviewer notes, "Jiangling Motors' Landwind SUV failed the same test in even more spectacular fashion in late 2005 (listen to the ADAC guys crack up after they see the Landwind result".

Landwind SUV

As for the BS6, things don't get better on the inside. Autoexpress' review found that, 'the dashboard features mismatched fake wood trim, beige leather and a shiny silver stereo. In all, it's as though you've taken a step back in time when you sit behind the wheel, ending up somewhere in the late Eighties.' (LOL)

      Mistakes were made, my R34 Story

      By Kinkstaah · Posted

      The car remains in paint jail. I am now pretty convinced that the whole "RB25 Airboxes are kinda limiting to ~300kw" could be a thing. Also saw a good video from Engine Masters: (Sorry for FB link) (https://www.facebook.com/watch/?ref=search&v=761771519471924&external_log_id=c10bcbb6-2c39-4ff3-9240-287e9921fde6&q=Cold Air Considerations) Where they tested Pod Filter sizes and kept adding bends to a LS3 on an Engine Dyno to find if bends caused power loss. It's a good video worth watching - They did lose ~25hp from making an intake which had 3x90's and a 120 degree. They only lost maybe 1hp with a basic 90. I feel that by sealing up my airbox I have: 1) Created the same restriction a stock airbox would have. 2) Created a very convoluted set of intake 'pipes' by forcing all the air through the ducts. So I am pretty confident I'll be going full circle and have a huge hot air intake pod and actually see a benefit. The air does *not* stay hot once it gets flowing, aided by the ducts, and the pod can then pull air from anywhere. All the posts of yore talk about the stock airbox costing 10-15kw at 300kw+ but you know what? I f**king would very much like that 10-15kw and I remember my own pod filter in engine bay experiences. Turns out the GTT Reo and Headlight brackets really don't allow you to mount GTR items, no matter what the internet says. Various brackets have had to be made up to actually make it fit right for the front bar. Also some idiot mounted a 3L Accusump right where the bumper wants to go, so that has had to be 'relocated' To where, I am still not sure, but it's supposedly mounted in the pictures and I can't see it.

      Factory oil temp sensor in a RS4V without gauges?

      By MBS206 · Posted

      Sounds like the oil pressure light is wired into the oil temp sensor... As it warms up, resistance on temp sensor reduces, hence more current can flow and the dash light gets brighter.

      R34 GTT AC short cycling ? Normal behaviour?

      By Dose Pipe Sutututu · Posted

      If it's cold in summer, then no issue. If it's cutting out every few seconds and you're not reaching your target temp, then there's an issue. One could be the pressure switch and the other issue could be the temp probe inside the evaporator.
