Still, why did they have to find the 3 biggest leb muzzas out there to represent the "japanese performance car community"

And seriously, did you see how they were doing the slalom course? They just basically kept accelerating through it, as if any normal driver would keep doing that...?

I think some of you may have the wrong impression of what the story was addressing.  

"But yeah... get other people into these cars and see how they far. A darn sight worse is my prediction.

And i've never EVER had to use a slalom course on the street, anyone else here ever used a slalom course on the street?"  It wasn't about whether people have ever had to do a slalom course on the road.  It was more about how people managed and perceived themselves with a "high powered vehicle" and how the wrong mentality can bring a lot of grief to those who overestimate their abilities.  

I agree... what the story was trying to say about the attitudes.

And just nab these guys in a bad light.

But as for everything else i said, i think it is fair.

but as you said dave

It was more about how people managed and perceived themselves with a "high powered vehicle" and how the wrong mentality can bring a lot of grief to those who overestimate their abilities.  

Put those cars and drivers into a normal road simulated test and see how they go.

Maybe thier ****y attitude might have proved them right and that on the road they are indeed alright drivers.

But to do that fairly you have to give out a fair chance.

Heaven knows im not a bad driver on roads and i have a good stick of power.

But i know in myself that a slalom and other tests, things i would never expiriance on the road, i would instantly fail.

Put me in a road simulated test, in my car... and let me drive how i would not how the instructor thinks i should...

And im very certain that i would do much better for a number of reasons.

*My car has better handling/braking/control that a Ford/Holden.

*I have a good reaction speed, certainly not as fast as driving instructor, but not too bad in the percentage of road users.

i like this thread. good read

Personally I would also find it difficult performing a driving test with that instructor yelling in my ear constantly.

I was thinking the same thing. It it was me driving I would've floored it and then jumped on the brakes hoping that he smacks his head on the dash. Ian Luff is a w@nker.

On the same note did anyone go see the attempted reverse psychology ad about speeding before Return of the King? Worst. Ad. Ever.

I saw it... it was made by students, i think. they all made ads against speeding and that one won the comp... i don't see what's so bad about it.

the ad's trying to use reverse psychology to make you not speed etc...but it doesn't work. After 20 seconds I was hoping it would end soon. For those who are too dumb for reverse psychology to work it doesn't work.

    • So we have most the interior back in, and for the first time with one OEM speaker hooked up. The 31 is running, driving and now tunes!!! Hahaha yet another step for the sub that sat 10m under for two weeks!!! unbelievable really 👌 lots of love work and not giving up on her. Seen so many youngsters part way less, and in way better condition. I’m stubborn, thinking another problem is just a hurdle to overcome, One at a time. IMG_9277.mov
    • That is correct. I'm using a modified ABS ring and a ZF speed sensor on my rear diff for speed input. I'm running a Haltech ecu. 
    • Been busy with the newborn. We originally thought we were going to go for a third, but we're good with two lol. He's starting to actually sleep now so I've had some energy to work on the car. It's been parked away in the garage since late November due to winter.  I went ahead and redid all my head oil drains. I originally had my front and rear head drain going into the same pipe but have since split them up. I also added an Ethanol content sensor to get ready to run E85 this summer. Tossed it on my return line. Sensor sits nicely under my intake manifold.    I also have a lot of parts that came in for my rear end. I'll be swapping over to a 3.3 final drive and doing the GK teck anti squat mod. While the rear subframe is off, I'll also change every bushing. We're planning on buying another house soon with the condition that I get at a minimum a 2 door garage, so I'll wait to have more room for this. Now onto the strange things that recently happened... After changing the lower rad hose (It had been sitting in my cabinet for well over a year and was the last hose I had to replace), I let the car idle in the garage to bleed my coolant. After running for a few minutes, it started missing. Got much worst within a minute or two and then stalled and would not restart. My crank sensor decided to crap itself. No damage, no explanation, just died. I went ahead and replaced it with another ZF sensor but the heavier duty stainless model with a shield. Tossed that in and started right up. Has anyone else seen this? I hate when things fail without cause. Luckily this was a blessing in disguise... This lead me to recheck my timing. It seems I may have had a beer or two the last time I had set my TDC angle as I was off exactly 5 degrees... I miscounted a line haha. I was running 5 degrees less then commanded. It's a little embarrassing but helps explain why my dyno operator seemed to think I should be making more then 478rwkws.        
    • Sharing results from recent Liberty Walk R35 GTR, since they are still considered as somesort of a V36 Skyline. We do them turbos too. This are high flowed SS-1 models with ball bearing conversion done.  Car have managed to pull 485awkws @ 20Psi so far pushing limitations of factory built engine. The build list for R35 GTR enthusiasts as follow : HyperGear high flowed stock turbos in SS1 (G25-660 specs) Custom titanium intake pipes. Vspec performance titanium front pipes. Vspec performance 4" titanium exhaust. Upgrade fuel pumps. 1200cc injectors. Ignition coilpacks Hks intake plenum. Hks intercooler piping. Greddy intercooler. Greddy bovs. Top-secret coolant reservoir. Emtron ecu. Straight E85. Built gear box.  
    • Nah no bearings, just slip fit.  Would be a reasonably challenging but not impossible job to modify it to run bearings but I'm hoping that's not necessary as I may have well built one myself if I end up spending hours modifying it!
