And Roy, you werent seriously paying out Doughboy were you? I thought you were having a sarcastic go at nicknick.

Depends...if he lets me overtake him at track days, just to preserve my fragile ego then all is good. :) ...or even better buddies up with me for the Dutton Rally, his combi can be the spares van :(

Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha. What a laugh. When will these dreamers learn to actually pull a decent time before blowing their bags. Thats the only problem with these forums - too many dreamers. Did this "10 sec GTR" run at WSID???? probably not.

Yep. It is. And it has run a nine. And it will again soon. Even if it never ran again, I still pulled the time.

Fact is, this dickdick guy has insulted people I know.He should pull his head in & run a decent time before dreaming on & sticking it up other Skyline owners that are nothing but helpfull & decent people.

As for my car - it has been off the road for a while(have been playing with other cars) but will be up & running soon with a totally new setup.

What will it run? I'll wait & find out before posting on here wont I!!!

True. On another note. Alice would be wiked. Not far from no speed limits - I wish.

Just lost my licence for the 15th time!!!!! That is not a typo!!!

Got to the point where I am learning for my pilots licence. At least up there there is no speed limit. Biggest problem is I cant work out how to fit the wings on my GTR yet.

well, I force myself to run thru the no speed limit zone on the 50k trip to work each day....of course its not as fun as it could be with the speed limiter still in :D Also, not a corner to be found for miles out there

but, its not *really* that hard to stick to the speed limit is it? You need to get out on the circuit more.....I'd lost my license 3 times before 20 (pretty poor effort), but now I just get it out of my system on the track instead.

Hi Munro, get that pilot's licence, fly to New Zealand and get a driver's licence there. Works for a few guys. But you are so well known, Adelaide ain't that big and your cars are easily spotted, so it probably wouldn't work for you.

On another subject, that other turbo car of yours, it has a water to air intercooler doesn't it? If it has, how do you find it works in the summer heat?

It's legal to drive here with alot of international licenses. There was a scam a few years ago where people were getting their international license (a generic one issued from NRMA and other "motoring" groups) without having a "real" license first. I'm pretty sure you can still do that.....

Hi Steve, at last count, about 1 million visitors to Australia each year drive legally without an Australian license. I have no idea how many do it illegally.

Hi Chris, I don't think they have international licenses anymore, you just use your own country's licence, that's what I do when I go overseas now.

If you have an NZ licence, you just have to remember the formulas....

I = U (as in fush and chups)

A = AR (as in larmb chops)

Sheep = Gurlfriend

All Blacks = Gods

Once you have that mastered, you can pass yourself off easily.

When i went OS, i was told that an OZ licence is all thats required to hire cars from OS outlets, so was good enough for me

... that said to drive in Indonesia you have to be OVER .05 otherwise its just not fun, and its far too easy for the locals to psyche you out with their driving, a bit of dutch courage and you can mix it with the best drivers that Indonesia has to offer. :P

I sure as hell hope that NSW RTA doesnt recognise an Indo licence as an quivelant, or French for that matter, they are nutz behind the wheel as well :flamed:

    • @Dose Pipe Sutututu I would argue that >300rwkW inevitably comes only with a raised boost threshold that makes it more likely to get beaten by the family SUV with a 95 speed auto transmission and TD torque. Ditto the traction problems when it finally does come on boost. I used to love my stock turbo. A little flex of the ankle and it made a sweet little whistle and you had torque immediately. It wasn't fast fast, but it was more likely to win the "squirt to make the gap" type races that actually matter for a street car. I think >300 rwkW requires more capacity than an RB25 can offer (again, for street driving). I have enough experience with driving 2JZs in that space to know that they are much easier to pedal around in than a 25. I keep thinking Greg did the right thing putting a V8 is his car. I can't see myself not having a turbo - but I'd really like a big engine torque curve.
    • This is kinda how I see it also. Could drill down then into sub tags. 
    • Let's be honest here @GTSBoy 250kW in a GTS-t would easily get walked by my a family SUV these days. 300kW is the sweet spot, fast enough to keep up with the modern German cars (not from a stand still), fun enough and the motor still can be stock/unopened. Realistically, 400kW is a good number. It's enough to give you cold sweats, still be very street able in terms of the power band (provided you're not an idiot and go single scroll and delete VCT) and only needs a very basic rebuild (or stock if you have a NEO motor). Anything more, it starts to be stupid.
    • Deals off now apparently https://www.abc.net.au/news/2025-02-13/honda-and-nissan-say-merger-talks-called-off/104934438 Hopefully Nissan closes up soon and the family X-Trail becomes a classic too!
    • The west where I live is swarming with birds, not wrong they are bloody loud. In the meantime, do a DIY killswitch - $5 worth of things from jaycar, easy as too. The west is copping it with car theft lately, especially the big shopping centres.
