birds i doubt you drive your skyline correctly.. you prbaly nurse it for some un known reason.

how many accidents have you been on before you call me niiave? car accidents are 99% of the time clear cut where the blame lies its not rocket science if ur hit in the right of from behind whose fault it was whether they've got a hyundai or a skyline.

you talk a lot of shit man honestly.. you cant even believe it yourself.

I nurse my Skyline throughout the course of daily driving because there's a time and a place for spirited driving IMO. I can wait til DECA.

I've been in alot of car accidents. Some my fault, most not, fortunately. I know alot of people who've been in car accidents and I've seen more than a fair share of lawsuits over car accidents. The reason I say you're naiive when it comes to car accidents is because you think it's so clear cut and that people won't do everything they can to save their ass, particularly if they don't have insurance. Work by the assumption that most human beings are out for themselves and even the most honest of people when fronted with a situation that can land them in SHIT will stoop pretty low to avoid said shit.

Hit from the right:

-Pulled out from a side street and you didn't give way to the oncoming traffic

-You were part of the oncoming traffic and someone turning right didn't give way to you

-You went straight through a roundabout and the people turning didn't indicate

-You pulled out of a parking spot and didn't see the car approaching from behind

-You both changed lanes at the same time, moving into the middle lane and sideswiping or lovetapping each other. Who indicated first?

Hit from behind:

-Driver behind didn't brake soon enough / didn't leave enough distance between car in front

-Driver behind got hit by car behind launching them into car in front (you should see the law suits that come from these)

-Car in front didn't have working brakelights

-Car in front intentionally slammed on brakes to scare tailgating driver

-Car in front reversed into car behind

-Car behind was performing a U turn at a median strip and plowed into a car reversing down the side of the street that he/she was turning into

These are quite common but even if you want to call them unusual scenarios I will tell you that it is usually an unusual scenario that warrants the accident in the first place - a change to the norm makes people f*** up during autonomous processes such as driving. Do tell me to go on with some more scenarios, but I know you hate my novels so perhaps my last post in response to you / this topic. Not that you were listening anyway.

Wow, didn't logged on till now and just realised it has turned into some fiery discussion...

I've been driving my skyline everyday over the past 6 years, both R33 turbo (in RED) and my current V with big rims.

Not being stopped once for no reason, the only times got pulled over a couple of time was was due to own fault.

my fair share of driving daily over these years I've noticed a wide spread of dickheads and tools on the road, consisting of:

- the usual falcodores

- magnas

- camrys

- 4WD (black ford & red shitbox pajero)

- white toyota corolla

- yellow S15

- blue V35

- bmw 3xx

they're just everywhere no matter what car they drive

PEACE! to all you brothers and sisters EXCEPT...

1. dudes with post-alcohol aggression

2. girls at premensis time

3. tools in commowhores

4. short mums in 4WDs

5. those with post-operative depression

6. anyone prone to road rage

7. hoons that don't deserve skylines

8. plods that seek out to defect skylines

9. dills on drugs 'n drive

10. ricers

11. grey haireds with impaired vision

12. car thieves

May the judges :) you from even owning a scooter > become a pedestrian ! :)

whilst true, unsuccessful troll is unsuccessful.

birds you just like to deliver tl;dr rants, tbqh you deserve the ribbing you get for having the POS stock wheels on LOL.

Yes obvious troll is obvious, just as unsuccessful troll is unsuccessful.

I see your troll and raise you another troll. What did you ditch the stock rims for RB20 fanboi? 13 inch wheels with 165/25/R13 so your car could actually move off the line?

  bozodos said:
probably not, like how we missed out on the CA18 R32 (dammit!)

Damn you could have had even less torque than you have now. Imagine how much fun you'd have f***ing around with that real drivers car that needs to be driven instead of sitting in 4th gear all the time.

I'd drive it to the LIMIT like all small motors are meant to be! if only it were legal to retrofit an a12 motor in aaaaah.

got your powerglide in yet? they are quite suited to the way R33 owners drive :)

just FYI birds, all cool dudes drive around on 4 space savers, shit is SO hellaflush

tbqh your car would also look better with R32 stockies lol

I dont really find there to be to much of a negative stereotype with skylines, the only old person I know who has even mentioned it is my mates dad who is like 1 rank below being the state police commissioner. Most of my grandparents/uncles/aunts and parents friends responses to my car are along the lines of: "thats actually a nice looking suzuki coupe (the "S" on the bonnet :devil: ) you have there son, I didn't know they made sports cars.. which model is this?"

    • As you're looking at using a Link ECU, then large injectors are not a problem. But there's not really any need to go 1000s on an RB20 unless you're planning >>600HP on E85, which would seem unlikely. There are other options for injectors. The Xspurt ones are available from a number of places and you can get them in the mid 600s and 725cc, which is probably a sensible place to be. These are all EV14 based. If you are not using the stock AFM (at all, which would be the case with a Link) then a large turbo intake pipe to suit the ATR turbos is not an obstacle, so you should use one instead of a highflow. Results will be better.
    • Hey guys,  I'm after some advice and this here is the best place to get it imo. I was a member a looong time ago under another account, with a lost email address. Its nice to jump back on and see some of the same names still giving good advice.  I mothballed my car when i moved to perth in 2013, and after getting towed across the nullabor a few times it has officially done more km's on a trailer than under its own power. Now that i have started the process of tidying up and modifying it, i see the fruit available (and the fruiterers selling the produce) is different than back in the day. hence my questions, as i used to 'know' what to get and now, i'm not so sure. Engine wise the car (92 gtst) has a walbro 255, k+n, fmic, cam gears and and turbo back 3"exhaust. Wish list is a Hypergear high flow or ATR43G1, Link G4x and some newer injectors before a tune up. My goals are modest, only low 200's power wise. i know i could achieve this with less, but i've been swapping out old for new where i can. Every cooling hose has been replaced, along with mani gaskets, WP, thermostat and radiator, fuel pump and timing belt, tensioner and idler, and i rebuilt the steering rack. Regarding the injectors, the fruiterers all seem to sell what used to be considered quite large injectors. There are a lot of options for bosch 1000cc EV14's, and i would like to know if that is a suitable choice for my build. Is modern injector design good enough to run these at the low duty cycles that i likely would be? is there a downside to running a too large injector these days? or, would there be an upside to running a smaller injector at higher duty cycle? I can see that there are smaller injectors still available, but the ones i have seen specifically marketed for RB's are pretty large (see: https://golebysparts.au/collections/fuel-rail-injector-kits/products/nissan-rb20-fuel-rail-bosch-980cc-1150cc-injectors-turbosmart-fpr800-regulator-kit), and i dont know enough about them to say one not marketed for RB's would fit or not. I have searched the forums, and amongst all the posts on older tech, I did see gtsboy recommend EV14's, but no size was mentioned... again, i'm not clear on if the smaller size bosch injectors are also EV14's as they do look similar.  also, if someone can recommend a tuner familiar with RB's in the Geelong or West Melbourne area i'd appreciate it. Thanks in advance guys. Cheers, Rowdy  
    • FWIW the depth of the groove in the rubber pad is not super essential, the blocks are rubber and squish a bit. If you are worried an angle grinder will make a deeper groove quick smart
    • I mean, if you were to move the jacking points away from the original location, that is, away from the wheels and closer to the centreline of the car, then it will be more likely to overbalance and tip off the supports. Same as we talked about before. I was talking about moving for-aft. If the sill is bent outward or inward, then the car would obviously look unstraight from the outside. Hopefully that hasn't happened either. Again, you can do comparative measurements from the chassis rails to see if there is much deflection.
    • Can you elaborate what you mean with your first sentence? I meant move as in the bulge kinda seemed like it got pulled "outward" meaning it got pulled down and to the side with the jacking rail itself, so the load bearing bulge now sits lower than usual and is not level with the sill on the other side of the jack point. Either that or the jacking rail just got pushed in a good bit.
