not bad for a self propelled lifesize replica of a jelly bean... does it have any weapons?

-D

nice car :)

i was worried it'd be a two door lancer with altezza lights, 18inch cromies and a gay droid body kit :cheers:

phew!

yeah i thought i would stick to a 2.5Lt turbo instead. the Altezza light lancers were tempting.

nearly already traded it in on a renault megane cup

Looking good nick lol at hairdresser when you coming over to cut my hair

those reno's are good too from factory they boost good and handling is exceptional went for a cruise through the gorge once with a heap of skylines and none of the rwd could keep up and even i was struggling

dont even go there luke at least he got the huffer version

yeah sam have to admit i have been driving it briskly lately and haven't had any issue even at rbt's ect

liking the "launch control" too (holds it at 3500RPM in 1st as that the best RPM for a launch with reduced torque steering)

through the hills point to point it would easily out do skylines.

Andrew can vouch for the handling through the round abouts the other day

Nice car nick! :cheers:

Contemplated getting one of these for my current lease through work, but just not quite enough room for all the gear when we go away with the little one so ended up with the Liberty GT instead. Was rather impressed by the equipment list they have, nice looking german rocket!

hahaha hairdressers car :cheers:

All jokes aside, she is a nice car mate. And yes, I certainly can vouch that they go very hard - would easily crucify a stocky R33, and would toast even a pretty well set up mild R33 through the hills!

Is this comparing it against an R33 GTR V-Spec Series III? Which is about the same price bracket... or comparing with an R34 GTR within the same year? or an R32 GTR modified to the same value?

lol they go pretty good :cheers: my boss as work just got 1, let me drive it when it had just 60ks on the clock.

im trying to con her into coming to fnf drive in antics in it.

is it a new 1? the lv?

i hear the clutches dont let you do a burnout though something engages and prevents it.

does yours put the hazards on when you brake hard?

lol youll be joining these forums soon then

14.4 quarter aint bad for a fwd, lil rolling start would help em spank a few decent cars.

Good to see u can connect to interweb again Nick. Nice pick up....any plans for any basic mods?

...and here I thought you were taking it easy due to havin a car load :D. The Megane sports makes the cutest bov sound and they do handle pretty well through the hills, but there have been instances when their Brembo brakes may experience serious brake fade on downhill sections :) and struggle when a particular silver rwd R33 pushes it to its paces.

    • It's impossible to convey what it will feel like to get the right torque. But you can develop a feel for it. A 900mm breaker bar is.....f**king huge. I only use a normal ~400mm one. But with 900mm being very nearly a metre, and the right torque being in the order of 100Nm, then you're going to need a bit over 100N of force, which is about 10 kg. So if you practice using the bar pulling up, instead of pushing down, then it will be about the same effort as lifting a 10kg bucket of water. That's what the pressure against your fingers should feel like. Ish. If you use a more typical length breaker, then it's about twice that. So a good 20 litre bucket, or a little bit more.
    • Also, if anyone has a torque wrench around Williams Landing area and can lend it to me for like 5 mins - I got 4 bottles of Furphy left and I’ll throw that in with a Happy meal 😂
    • So today I decided to bleed my brake fluid, which meant to the wheels came off the car at my garage for the first time. I only had a 90cm breaker bar with me and I noticed that some 1 or 2 lug nuts were a bit hard to get loose (from when the shop did the coilovers) Now.... when it came to putting them back on, I didn't want to put all my weight and overtighten them. So I hand tightened as much as possible and then put normal pressure on the edge of the breaker bar and tightened it until I couldn't turn it anymore without putting in an effort. Do you think that is tight enough? Or is that still too tight?  They are tighter than finger tight. Last thing I want is to have them strip or warp sh*t. But hard times mean I can't just go down to Supercheap and get a torque wrench 🥺
    • Dunno what to tell you, when I look at it on Consult I can see this warmup timing map kicking in around 40C coolant temp and it sticks around for a while:  At part throttle on the normal base timing map it peaks around ~43 degrees of timing or something like that, this warmup timing map drops it to like 12-15 degrees. 
    • I don't think that's what you're seeing. Something else doing that. The only time I've seen it get so retarded is when it's trying to control idle (in which case we're not talking about mapped timing tagets anyway) and when there is an extreme coolant temperature sensor fault. The RB26 ECU is essentially the same as the 20 ECU and I knew that ging inside out. There is no facility for it to retard that heavily on cold start. The OEMs never used to do it back then. I mean, shit, the catalyst is abotu 3 miles down the exhaust anyway. Early light-off was just a twinkle in some EPA arsehole's eye back then, not a regular engine control strategy.
