I think there is a difference between experience and driving properly. Forget experience, lots of older people cant drive, just as lots of younger people cant.

This is always illustrated to me whenever i drive, even today on the freeway, i was tailgated constantly, without the drivers doing it even realising what risk they were putting themselves and me in. If i had to hit the brakes suddenly, they would have wiped me out, no question, so as usual, i was constantly trying to avoid these people. And never was it by a young driver, all middle age, or over 50 by the looks of them.

So mines_datsun.. all i have to say to u is i hope everything works out, i cant imagine how stupid and shit u must feel already so im not gonna reiterate it...

And you never get yourself into this type of shit again..

Taking sympathy from people in regard to this accident is only worthwhile if you have learned your lesson. If your parents buy your cars then it is them whom i feel sorry for.

Im glad you're not injured or worse we dont need any more senseless deaths.

But are you the real deal? Boasting about this and your other acca? You seem pretty cool about the whole deal... Also what are all the wires doing out under the dashboard?

You didnt happen to stumble across a stolen car (now a wreck) and take pics did you?

Just a thought... are we all sure MINES_DATSUN isn't actually "streetmachiner" trying to buy up all the Skylines in Oz and write them off one by one, so there won't be any left? You know... like the Goebbels "Final Solution", but with Skylines? :confused:

I am 32 and it wasn't until I was almost 30 that I realised how little I actually knew about car control. My job occasionally takes me to racetracks and driver training centres to drive some pretty highly priced machines. When you are out on a track trying to keep up with someone like Geoff Brabham you realise that there can be a big difference between what you think you know and what you actually do know. My advice to any young driver whether you drive a fast car or not is to save up for some performance driver training. It could save your life and more importantly, It could save MINE!

for F^%k suke dudes in think we are all a tad jealous here

its not like u all havnt had a few close moments 9correct me if im rong0

I don't think you understand.

People's reaction aren't based on that he wrote off a GTR. Of course people make mistakes. We all have.

The difference is, we aren't 20 years old and slag off owners of less expensive cars that they worked hard to purchase, and didn't have handed to them on a silver platter by their parents.

It's his attitude towards other members during the past few months that has led to the reaction he's now getting.

    • Behrman is great quality stuff. My 34 has some serious clouding as well but I’m too nervous to try and replace the glass myself so I haven’t bought them yet. 
    • This might be true if you live in NZ but I can't see how this could be true for us locals here.  I've found the customer support for Haltech to be absolutely amazing. I've turned up to Haltech and spent entire days with their tech support guys, they've even helped me with wiring dramas that had nothing to do with their products.  They have the best customer support of any company I've dealt with, I can't imagine how my experiences with them could possibly be any better.
    • If you want to do a single throttle body conversion easily, you won't need to pull anything apart. Take the linkage from your throttle off the linkage controlling the ITBs. Now open the ITBs wide open, and lock the linkages in said position. Now add a single throttle body onto the front of your inlet plenum. No it's not ideal for the last nth of a kw, but it'll be a lot better than what you're already trying to do...   PS, ITBs can be so damn hard to tune from, because roughly 20% movement in a throttle body equates to a change in roughly 80% of its flow (Hence power). When you add up the flow limitations of those small throttle bodys, it is a LOT higher than that of a single large throttle. Hence, TPS is very very sensitive with them, and you do a LOT of work with sensor fusion, and some Maths behind the scenes to make those blends nice, and be smooth.
    • Yep, when Haltech purchased Adaptronic, and all of the Adaptronic staff, including Andy went with it, it took Haltech to the next level. Haltech wanted Adaptronic as they wanted things like Andy's fuel models, and some other IP, AND they wanted Andy too as he is brilliant! Andy has spoken about the incompatibilities between the old 1500 stuff vs Nexxus, and it totally makes sense. It's not JUST software that is different, there is huge changes in the underlying hardware too. It's why Haltech has had soooo many changes in the last couple of years, in terms of Hardware, and Software, and why it has become so damn Amazing. Why do you think guys like Rob Dahm with his quad rotor, went from running Adaptronic's to running Haltechs? Andy. Pretty much, Haltech these days, is Adaptronic, but with more funds behind it, and more staff, and hence Andy's visions, and visions of other people that he helps shape their great visions, into amazing new products. All the new Nexxus gear, whole new software for it, new and better dashboards, the apps that will run on headunits and NOT be slow to respond! I understand people being burnt in the past, but if you're ragging on a company, about products and issues from many years ago, it's more a reflection on yourself, not looking or keeping up with new stuff. In which case, those people should be going back to PowerFC and Nistunes as the ECU's to rave on about...
