Ha!ROFLMAO! Black Thunder,you say?Classic!I wonder if the horrible media types at Black Thunder Central(104.7)have more respect for the fabled stove taillights...Or maybe they'll jump on the rising wave of stereotyping and label your car,and all of ours,"killer Skylines"?

Dont worry Jayce, wasnt in the 'line, not giving them any bait, but i dont think the Daihatsu Applause owners club would be too happy with me...

And just to add my two cents to the whole P plate death thing, im pretty sure i read in the paper that the p plate accidents causing death/serious injury number has gone down over the last few years, so mayb these days they're either doing it more spectacularly (sp?) or the media is building it up more, personally i think its a combination of the two

Helllllllllooooooooo I'm still here, just got the suspension changed in my 34 today actually. So I'll be spending a little more time driving it around now. I have some sad news though, I'm moving

Blew the cobwebs out of @Sinista32 last Sunday for a few hours. It's great to get the passion back every so often

No you just tried to give him a run. Stop telling us how you are driving like a dickhead.

"im really fired up over this whole bullshit debate, a young guy crashes his import and all of a sudden left wing pinkos come out with these ideas"

Sorry veilsider r33, You are giving the "Left Wing Pinkos" a bad name.

The media and the Govt are doing the job well enough. (of demonising Skyline owners)

My opinion - the power is in the head and the foot of the driver. Self Control of both. It's not an age issue, not a gender issue, not a type of car/truck/bus/train/plane/tredly issue, not just an experience issue either. It's a common sense issue.

Some times sh!t happens. Prepare yourself to deal with consequences when you make choices. Then get over it and move on - if you live!

Even the worlds best race car drivers have accidents and not all survive.

All living things including Humans take risks.

PS.

I didn't show commonsense recently and I've been driving for 25 years. It easily could have been my GTR on the front of the CT last week. So I am not a P Plater and I'm not young, hence I disagree with you both.

It could then be argued that common sense comes with age but point in fact - it doesn't. We oldfolk just start taking less and more calculated risks.

I agree with you Richard...

Its all about choices...

Were all crazy drivers sometimes, but some people just think if they put there foot to the floor, they will look cooler or some crap...

Knowing what my car can do, i do limit myself to things and im prob talking for alot of people here. Some people just have not grown up yet to realise "CARS" do kill!

Sounds like Fred Flintstone's car.

Anyway I disagree, I tried using my head on the accelerator once and there were problems seeing over the dash. Took me ages to get the ding out of the front bar where it nudged the wall when I was reversing...

Spotted this morning while taking my GTR back to have the air cond fixed

Hi Danooh;

Mind if I ask where you are getting it fixed and if you're happy with the outcome? My compressor (make that the car's compressor) is making wierd ass noises, might be a bearing. My ass sometimes makes wierd compressor noises too but I'm not goin' there...

Anyway would be good to take it somewhere that's worked on them before.

Cheers

      Nope, but they are definitely one of the default choices. Well established.

      Haha actually I did join back then under a different email address,  I couldn't re-activate my account so made a new one! I didn't post much anyway so not missing out on much. Amazing to see how the value of the cars and parts has changed over the years, also ACT section appears to be dead now.

      Thanks... It's in pretty good condition overall, probably due to not being drifted/tuned however being a daily driver has taken its toll. Had 100k on the clock when I got it, up to 180k now. Unfortunately it's not 100% dent free, it's got a small dent on FLH side and broken indicator from where I hit a small kangaroo at high speed. If you look at closely at pic #5 you might spot the dodgy trailer light repair my old man and I rigged up as temporary repair! - It's still there due to a combo of needing the car as daily driver and then too lazy/busy to fix properly. I've a couple of other minor accidents accidents as well but nothing major. One required a new front bar and unfortunately the smash repairer ordered the normal gtst one and not the aero bar. Needed the car back asap so just went with it, regretted ever since.

      How "plug and play" is the Haltech Pro for R33 GTST

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      I can't believe that anyone is foolish enough to believe that the base maps are for any other purpose than to drive the car up onto the trailer/truck or gently creep it to the dyno. No matter how good they are, they can never be any better than the factory maps**, and only the foolish trust those on a significantly modified setup. **Yeah, yeah. I know there's also the difference between factory maps being fixed to certain injector sizes and MAP/AFM/VE relationships, and the likely aftermarket ECU base maps being better able to handle the sorts of changes that would render a stock ECU dangerous, like different sized injectors. But let's just ignore that for the moment, because the principle is still the same.
