hey wassup guys i have recently invested in a n/a r34 and the question i want to know is why are all people that buy commodores so ignorant to n/a skyline owners? i have since met people that say "whats the point of buying a skyline thats not even turboed' (hence quoted by a commonwhore driver) they also said "my car would beat any n/a skyline in 1st".

So what i want to know is why are most commonwhore drivers ignorant to n/a skyline owners? and how should i deal with this person that i have to work with and if you guys have had any problems with this issue.

cheers jarrod

Just like to say that i've got a bombadore and all its good for is burnouts and first gear drifting although fun definatly no where near as good as any nissan, i've got everything done to it, its a six as well n/a and the shit box cant even do second and i've gone through 3 gear boxes trying lol what kind of car is that a joke maybe but seriously shit anyway if i didn't LOVE GTR's so much i'd have a gts as well but i guess you get what you pay for, as for the people givin ya a hard time just bring up bathurst and the whole 91 and 92 supremesy NISSAN OWENED THEM ALL, as an engine though the neo kills any ecotec and after market support is in the fist fulls so just pump a bit of coin into it then tell them man up on the quater. FAITH in the "dan u" 'nis' "san" piece icon10.gif

other than the fact that you sound like a muppet, i think you need to learn how to do skids better. commodores are the in thing where i live and i've seen plenty of them able to fry second gear.

also you would know that commodore gearing is much taller than skyline gearing, hence why it is slightly harder to do skids in higher gears.

and the nissan winning at bathurst thing is pretty pointless as anyone with half a brain knows that you can't directly compare a full blown group A car to a road car

but back on topic, the easiest thing to say to a commodore driver is "have you ever driven one? and when they say no, reply with "well until you have actually driven one, you aren't exactly in a position to say whether they are good or not. racing against one doesn't mean a thing because that person may not have been able to drive for shit"

I say the exact same thing. The only NA Skylines worth buying are V35 350GTs or KPGC10s.

So what i want to know is why are most commonwhore drivers ignorant to n/a skyline owners?

Ignorant? They're not the guys who bought a non turbo R34. Giving you crap for it, as impolite as it is, puts them on the correct side of the "should I have bought a RBxxDE powered car?" question.

ffs, not another one of these threads. :P

+1 ;)

its a stupid comparison, how can u compare a 4litre car to a 2.5lt, even tho a lot of N/A skylines can do better than commodores. and for v8 drivers complaining about turbo being "cheating" is jus stupid. the fact that a well tuned 2.5 straight 6 can beat a 5.7 or 6lt v8 is too much for them to take..

f*&k, wat am i tlkin about,,jus read the other thread about this.

+ 1 on the pointless RBXXDE argument - Its like when Miss R34 had her car at the local car show, and a fair few people were interested in it (bogans) until a mate told em that it was a NON turbo lol.

:)

Even with the bonnet open at a car show they probably wouldnt be able to tell the difference

lol well they assumed that with all the fancy wheels, graphics and front bar that it had to be something special, they were disappointed though lol.

To me having an N/A other than a Dirty 30 classic Skyline or V35 is kind of like doing a chick who's had a double masectomy. Sure its a female still, but it's just not the same, and it feels like there are a few things missing.

      RB20DE NEO smallbox clutch.

      By Duncan · Posted

      yeah first and reverse is where you will find clutch release issues (whether hydraulic or mechanical) because the difference in revs required is the highest there; particularly changing down from 2nd to 1st when still moving. To be clearer though, it is possible that the clutch release bearing is the wrong height. This is less likely than a hydraulic issue but it is not unheard of when you are mixing and matching

      Replacing turbo water line - any recommendations or advice?

      By jtha7 · Posted

      Hi all, Restoring r33 series 1 rb25det. All the heater hoses were on their way out, have replaced them and put it all back together. After testing I noticed a small leak from behind the head on the actual metal water line to the turbo when cars warm. I tried running a longer hose over it but it kept leaking...   I am about to take the (stock) manifold off again😔 to change the water line does any one have any lines they recommend? I was looking at Aeroflow Turbo Oil & Water Line Set but not sure what everyone else recommends. Car is completely stock but want to upgrade turbo eventually. it looks like ill have to disconnect a lot just to replace these lines so if there's anything else recommended to do please let me know. Thank you in advance!

      RB20DE NEO smallbox clutch.

      By MBS206 · Posted

      From memory, on the R33 GTSt at least, while everyone says "It's not adjustable", I found when I changed clutches in mine, it just needed a small adjustment on the rod length. But be very wary here, as you could end up trying to push the pushrod in the master too far, or blowing out the slave.   Most likely though, if the master/slave isn't bypassing internally or leaking out, then the throw out is the wrong height compared to the fingers on the clutch, so when it moves to disengage the clutch, it isn't 100% disengaged. You can check part of this out too by jacking the car up, having the engine running, put your foot on the clutch and try to engage 1st gear. If it goes in pretty easy (Compared to the ground) and/or the wheels start turning a fair bit and it takes a bit too much brake pedal to bring them back to a stop, this is likely the issue.  I'm not sure if you can adjust the height of the forks etc in these though, it's been that long since I've touched any RB gearbox.

      That's all good, I thought I was missing some interesting feature! Maybe @PranK can double check if that is something that is meant to be operating or not.
