This thread is hilarious.

I seriously think some people are far too precious with their cars. I mean seriously.. thinking highway driving would cause excessive wear on an engine? This forum Delivers :)

+1. Forum has a lot of idiots as of late.

OP will be fine, car will be happy to do that rather than limiter bashing.

the only reason you'd see falcons on the side of the road comes down to the lack of maintenance by a lot of owners, not the actual cars. if skylines were treated like a lot of commodores and falcons are there'd be a hell of a lot more of them on the side of the road broken down than commodores and falcons.

ford owners must neglect their cars more than holden owners, either that or holdens are more tolerant to abuse. i see a disproportionate amount of fords broken down.

they are just a standard family car with a turbo attatched.

That's a bit dishonest Marc. A Vecra VXR is a family car with a turbo engine, but I wouldn't characterise a GTST as that. I'd call it a de-tuned touring car which may or may not be available in saloon format. It's only a family car in the sense that in is not say mid-engined etc. Nissan never marketed it as a family car really, the NA saloon versions were kind of inferior after-thoughts. Even the RWD format goes against the grain of jelly mold family saloons, there is NO reason to go RWD if you are just making family cars.

no, a GTR is a de-tuned touring car. a gts-t is a family car version of said de-tuned touring car. they are no more a detuned touring car than an xr6t. the non GTR are just a sports family saloon. they are less of a the S series and Z series cars are more sports cars than a non GTR skyline.

a vectra VXR isn't a family car either, it is a sports hatch, in fact the VXR is the sports hatch version of a normal hatch. they are simply GM's answer to the focus. anyone who buys a vectra as a family car is stupid.

    • If it's for a SR20, make sure it's not the American Poncams, might as well call them Poocams. Had a set in a friend's car, all scuffed up after a few track days. Like the metallurgy Tomei USA used is junk. Went back to JDM OG Tomei Poncams, no issues till now.   Tomei USA is not the real OG Tomei.   Random rant over, fk the US of A, bunch of c u n t s. 
    • Most of the industry in North America either runs on Siemens or Allen Bradley. I have two redundant S7-1500's on my desk right next to me for simulation. Siemens has been losing ground though since Stuxnet, as cybersecurity is a big thing. In my line of work that is federally regulated, you must by law have a cybersecurity management program in place and its audited and inspected every so often.  I work with Emerson PLC's daily (RX3i's) and have done large biogas/refinery projects with their DCS's. Their PLC's are somewhat OK minus the way they do PLC redundancy (You have to download on both PLC's separately every time you make a change )  As for their DCS's... you'll be limited financially first before anything else stops you. Costs are exorbiant at roughly 10x what it would cost you to do with any other system (e.g AB PAC).  1990's, those suckers are brand new haha! Kraft-Heinz (An old client when I use to work for an ESP) still runs Siemens TI505 PLC's from the mid 80's. Ohh how I don't miss working with those... you could only do a certain number of online downloads until it's "Change" buffer would be full and you would then need to go offline to do a full download. There was no warning of when this was coming up and it generally would happen when you would go in at 2am to make changes before production -_-.     
    • Unfortunately, not only is that not the case, one of the main "Selling points" of safety over comms is they clearly state in writing that there's no need to segregate safety networks from non-safety networks. It always gets intermingled with everything else on an ICS/OT network. 
    • Hello. I have an a31 cefiro but since I am in Turkey we have a CA20S engine. I did some research. Then I found that I can swap with a ca18 but when I heard that it has the similar substructure as the s13. I thought I can swap with an sr20 because the sr20 was used with the s13. So can I easily swap the sr20 on my cefiro or is it difficult?
