well i guess owning a skyline is my compensation for that then.

DAM, now your really putting your self down, your saying that you have the same thought process as a man, poor you. :cheers:

What men might they be?

If say there was a man driving past me in a ferrari at the same time a woman was going past riding a tricycle.

I know which spectacle I'd be watching.

I would go the ferrari first coz its only going to be a quick glimpse any way and then get a good look at the chick, BUUUT if the chick was swerving all over the place and about to go arse up then i would just go with the chick, you get a perv (possibly a big perv) and a laugh, would be a highlight of the week.

Some are for sure but i defintely think alot of enthusiasts for skylines, rexies, silvias etc are great; Most days when i drive i get people comming up to me in carparks, carwashes, maccas, pertrol stations etc and just saying hi/checking out my car/taking photos.

The ones who are wankers are the guys who rely completely on their car for respect; nevermind their personalities are like donkeys or they are as dumb as a hard cock.

Thats probably because the r34 GTR is still regarded as one of the more enthusiast type cars. Due to their price still around the $50k mark, you'd need to be enthusiast to spend that much on a second hand car instead of a new bmw/audi/merc etc

Hence why other enthusiasts driving in skylines, rexies, silvia's would be more comfortable in approaching you/thumbs up/wave because chances are you wouldn't be an ignorant cock.

With r32/r33's around the $5k-10k any joeshmo can buy one and its much harder to tell the difference between the friendly enthusiast or a takumi wannabe.

Good point about the r34 gtr, when i was shopping for a new car to buy i didnt really want a second hand car but whats great about the r34 gtr is that all parts are quite avaliable! for instance, i was going to get a new s2000 for 76ish k but for 65k i got the vspec2 and if something goes, including the engine a rebuild of 10k will suffice and still be cheaper than the s2k

So far its the best choice i have made and there are no shortage of good workshops in vic/nsw etc

Like i always say, your only a loser if you think your car makes up for other weak points in your life eg: intelligence, personality, looks

Unfortunately there are quite a few sportscar drivers that are ugly as a herpes lesion and as dumb as a circumsised foreskin.

2x Bingo!

Close thread.

its all because of the fast and the furious... idiots buy skylines because they are "cool", they dont know why they are "cool" just that they are.... then they wack on a pod, cannon, and gay chrome wheels with pathetic dish and offset and a massive bov... and drive like a goon.

I hate that movie and it's sequels.

They are preachers of rice.

Well I wave to other skyline drivers, and sometimes I get a response in the '33. When I have driven hot rods/muscle cars when I wave to other drivers I get a response just about every single time. Its just a culture difference.

To the second thing that has come up in this thread (RX7's), I have owned a series 2 for a lengthy period of time and driven an FC turbo extensively. In their terms of ownership both needed engine rebuilds (within 50,000kms of purchase) and I knew their history. Liked the sound and the power delivery. Disliked the community and reliability. To those that say they can be consistently reliable, well the rule of thumb is a rotary needs a rebuild twice as often as a piston engine. I'm not picking a fight its just the truth - I have nothing against rotary powered cars.

Regardless, a true automotive performance enthusiast likes all cars no matter what the make or model as long as it delivers the goods where it counts - on the road.

    • Hey @Butters, did you end up getting this clutch in ? I have just ordered to a uniclutch track to go in my getrag 6 speed that’s in my BNR 32     
    • I know you don't want to hear this comment, but I can't not say it.  I just can't see 200kw being worth the time and effort. Its like guys with NA cars, putting in headers/exhaust/tune for a massive 20% jump in power. Great, the slow car is still slow and you're down $10,000.  My vote is leave it NA or price in a gearbox upgrade and shoot for at least 300KW, preferably 350KW+.  Now you have a NC that will try to kill you from time to time and will be exciting to drive
    • Ah yep. The main message I want to pass on is, try not to get scared of ghosts when thinking about knock/knock detection.  What I mean is, healthy engines make noise. Knock is also noise. Your knock sensor and ECU combo are trying to determine bad noise from good noise based on how loud the noise is. The factory knock sensors and ECU are not good at doing this.  Modern ECU's are pretty decent at it, however I'd still say that you would want to verify that if your ECU says it's knock, that you actually listen to it and confirm that it is correct.  Are you familiar with the plex knock monitor?  https://www.plex-tuning.com/products/plex-knock-monitor-v3/ I expect you're the type of person that would be very keen to play with something like this. It is great knock detection and you can pop some headphones on and listen to what's going on.  Knock that you've deliberately induced in low load low RPM areas is not really putting anything at risk and is a great tuning/learning/verification tool.  I just thought this was worth mentioning based on the way you were talking about setting up a base map and the Haltech base map settings. There are better ways to spend your time then chasing ghosts and worrying about detonation in scenarios that it is crazy unlikely to encounter it.  I was also wondering, what ECU are you planning to get? Will it be long til you pick it up?
    • This came quicker than I thought. It ain't even 2025 yet.
    • I somehow quoted my post instead of editing it. I regret nothing.
