Mate driving my car without me in it? No chance.

Only people that have driven mine without me in it are my wife (sparingly) and my Dad (I was driving the moving truck)

Selected mates have driven the Stag when I am in it... but that is only because if they do something stupid or that I don't like, they are well within striking distance ;)

:rofl: .... that wasn't angry driving mate. Sorry I scared you though, I thought you like going fast :P

Three things you never lend to a mate. Your Mower. Your Motor. and Your missus.

Why? Because they all come back f*cked.

hell no, i wont even let my brother drive my car without me in the passenger seat and even then i dont let him boost it

ive seen the way my mates drive round in there shitty cars so id hate to see wot they would do if given the keys to a 600hp gtr

I only let my brother drive my car now, i used to let me mates drive it until a mate of mine borrowed my other mates r34 gtt and wrote it off around a corner. that allso broke up their long term friend ship.

Include chain saw

lol

just spoke to the gf and the 31 is dieing slowly, heater core is leaking into the footwell and the rear wheel bearings are almost dead too

soooooooooooo....... i said she can drive the stag while im in South Africa (only till monday tho, few 31's getting around here which is cool)

its ok, she knows how to drive a lowish car and the previous owner had kurbed each wheel too :)

I only let my parents drive my car, & they both hated it!

So now only I drive it :laugh:

i take it the suspension wasnt "squishy" enough and it was steering way to true and accurate for them ? :laugh:

thats what mine said anyway :)

My philosophy is basically the same as Nick (GoldZilla). My dad has driven all of my cars (and could any time he asked, hell I drove his for years without breaking them!). Mum could if she wanted (the Stag), but I doubt that the situation would arise.

She won't even attempt to move the Z, even though it's auto and practically child-proof providing you don't bury the right pedal...

My wife drives the Stag all the time, she's in it now. She's driven the Z plenty of times too (I always have to remind her the speedo is in mph). She isn't proficient in a manual, so hasn't driven the DR, but once she has some experience (in her 1.4L 1200 ute) that will be fine too.

I don't think any of my mates have driven my cars in years - they all have company cars with private use so the need isn't there.

Oh, and the in-laws have driven the Stag too, (they own a Forester GT, so an AWD turbo wagon is hardly a novel idea)

I'd let most people drive my car with me in the passenger seat once.

It's a rarity I let them a second time. If they are given a second chance then sure, they can take it whenever they want as I obviously trust their driving.

Some of my friends I wouldn't let sit in my car let alone drive it.

Dont mind my "best" mates taking my car for a spin, if you cant trust them who can ya trust?? but certainly wouldnt let any tom dick or harry go for a spin in it...

I only ever let one mate drive the stag but that was because I wanted to hear it from the outside and my hands were filthy from working on his car. :ninja:

My old man went for a run down to the shops in it and decided it was "a bit hoony", Mum refused to drive it, My sister enjoyed riding shotgun but didn't want to drive it.

When I had my R33, I only ever let 1 or 2 of my closest mates drive it. Even when I sold it, there were no test drives until a substancial deposit was received.

I actually tried teaching my girlfriend how to drive stick in it aswell, but thats about it! hhaha :ninja:

    • Because that’s not what any of them are building these heads or blocks for. It’s to hold over over 1000hp at the wheels without breaking and none of that stuff is required to make power 
    • Dort sounds above 3k rpm are dorty 🤣 I might krinkle black the alloy 🤔
    • It makes you wonder, all these people starting to make a billet replacement head, I wonder if any have thought about trying to adapt tech from newer engines into them. You're already at the full design stage to make a billet head... Why not really spice it up and had some more modern tech into the mix too...
    • Connect all the plumbing up properly. The actual worst part about having the turbo unable to actually build boost, is you can and likely would over soon the turbo if you drove the car (free rev while stationary isnt likely to manage it).   If you do have an air leak as Duncan suggested, you'll have a bad time as the AFM will be saying different to reality.   As you have had the engine out, I'd go over all electrical connections again. If you have a consult cable, plug it in, and see what the ECU thinks is going on. Did you touch the timing belt? If so, double check your timing on the gears is correct AND put a timing light on it while it's idling and see what ignition setting you have. Is the AFM you've installed the one that was in the car previously? You said you replaced seals, what seals exactly? What have you had apart?   From memory when I had my RB25DET with factory throttle, there was two plugs the TPS plug on the loom could go to. One would leave the car running like shit, the other made it work, I think one plug on the TPS area was for something else (an option). It's too many years since I saw that part of the loom to remember properly though.   Is the car idling smooth (as smooth as an RB can)? Does it smell fuelled up?   I have a feeling either timing in timing belt is off, or a sensor isn't right.
    • Theres still skid pan and motokhana days up in QLD at least that are $100 or less. The ones that are ran as "driver training" less so, they're expensive, but just normal skid pan days like SAU ran are still low cost. And thats one of the places I learned to be a lariken, purely by asking for passenger rides, and how people were doing crazy things. Reese gave me plenty of pointers back in the day for skid pan! And yes Duncan, I will never forget your pointers for track work. Especially after Neil got out saying "I am NEVER getting in the car with him again!" 😛
