Some retard has broken into my corolla to take my mp3 cd player...they skrewed up the surrounding plastic and took my spindle of 25 cds full of mp3s...whats worse...is that it was taken while i was at work!.. I am only working at Coles currently trying to earn enough dosh for my Skyline. I dont go work at coles so other people can steal my stereo!!! Because of this incident I am seriously reconsidering the idea of purchasing a Skyline, whats the use when some F*@KWIT is gonna steel it anyway....

Here I am bustin ma gutz for a whole $60 when some fag jumps in ma car and takes off with ma stereo in a good 5 mins thats worth more then four times what I earnt!....and it doesnt help either when I cant find a day job because the design market is flooded. Oh, btw, this incident happened only a few days after i got my car back from the smash repairers coz some idiot drove into my back in peak hr traffic...and a couple days after one of ma mates was hit by a postie...and a couple months after one of my friends cousins totalled her beema...oh dont worry she got a new 5 series beema...but theres a massive scratch on the rear bumper already!...i think i must be cursed or something!...AAAAAAAAAAAAARRRRRRRRRGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!..... this truely is going to be a rooted year for me...

*end rant*

So does anybody have any reason why i should still purchase a Skyline?...

ps. anybody wanna gimme a day job...

Hrmm.. sorry to hear whats happened to you dude, but why are you asking other people to justify why you should purchase a skyline?

If you cannot afford a skyline then dont buy one, simple as that isnt it?

PS. I would hate to have the same thing happen to me, but personally would not post a threat on a forum asking people about justification for me to purchase a skyline. If I can afford I buy.. if I cant afford I dont buy simple.

Just me 2c worth. :rant:

Yeah, Im just pissed off with all the shit thats been happening lately...I have been saving for this car for the past 3 years (no loans for me) and scared that as soon as i get it some wankas gonna take off with it while Im elsewhere...

Just a question, how effective are alarms and immobolisers actually, becuase Ive seen these things get bypassed so easily.

Can't stop a towtruck :)

Yeah, my cousin was telling me how his friends 200sx got taken straight from his front yard. Greased up his wheels and the ground and moved it to the towy then drove off.. alarm, useless..immobiliser, useless...whats this world coming to?

We're going to have to start clamping our wheels when we go out(prob still useless).

So whens these new fandangle forcefields gonna be released to the public?

haha... Probably when fusion energy becomes viable and safe enouf for consumer consumption...

As to clamping the wheels.. I have seen a car wif its wheels clamped at the last powercruise.. :)

good reason = because

if you want one then get one - shit happens to everyone...i'm sure there are others allot worse of out there...

perhaps you would be happier with a VN commowhore?

No thanks gatty...how special would i feel with one of those!?... I used to have a vh...it was fun but was falling apart so i got rid of it. I have nothing against falcodores...id just much rather a Skyline.

But yes, theres alota people that are worse off..thanks for putting things in perspective.

    • Yeah, but the narrowband is truly narrowband. So you take it out of the linear zone and it is effectively nonsense. And that linear zone is so literally narrow, that nonsense is not very far away. Unless they are flicking back and forth across the stoich point, for real, under actual control, they can't be trusted for anything except entertainment value.
    • I agree, and yet my "HRM " hat is also on, as his wideband is in disagreement with the narrowband where they used to play closer attention to each other.
    • That's the thing. Especially at idle, changing the cam angle by that much could be spewing more fuel out the exhaust courtesy of everything happening that bit later. More fuel also means more air (if the fuel didn't burn, then neither did the O2) and so the O2 sensors can start to tell interesting but misleading stories. And the specifics of what is happening could easily be affected by everything else you changed as well. And it could be dynamic, where a few revs more or less could somewhat change how the engine is breathing.
    • Good idea on the temp probe. The mv readings of the O2 sensors are very similar to one another, as is the injector pw. I went through logs in the past to see if there was a discrepancy and there is. Because they alternate up and down as narrowbands do.. they do often 'switch' as to which one is more. They were never 20%+ (more like 1-2%) so it's possible the difference between 20 and 15-17% is a similar discrepancy to 2.0% and 1.7% which I wouldn't have really noticed in the past. We did think about spacing the strut brace. Unfortunately the ~20mm that the GTR brace is lower than the GTT brace is effectively what you need to clear the vents. Moving it up would make it very uncomfortable, but it's plausible that 10mm is a unhappy medium between both hard places... The good news is.. using MR HAMMER it was actually pretty easy to bend back the bent bits to make sure the guard and headlight/new headlight tabs line up right. Yes, we used a R34 GTR guard to make sure the bolt holes all lined up with a known straight guard. As above, you can see the side skirt and the GTR guard are not meant to play together, but everyone seems to think this is a simple fix to the point where nobody who has had these talk to one another mentions how... ...so I'll just assume they know how to fix it when it comes to paint jail time again. Whoever they are. Nobody returns my calls. There's so much changed with regard to the ECU and the car.. that the next step really is to connect the scanner and attempt to drive the thing. It'll be pretty clear pretty fast how in or out everything actually is...
    • That's nasty! I think there is perhaps an inherent problem is using elastomers in such environments. The whole thing can and will get quite hot, and elastomers are not famous for their temperature resistance. On top of that, if the components are cast rubber or urethane and so on, there might be QA/QC problems with bubbles or voids in the material that could critically change their performance. They might just tear apart after being squished (presuming that any elastomers are used in compression rather than tension, I'm thinking that you squeeze one with a void in it and it tears the wall of the void to the outer edge of block, then the next time it extends or otherwise twists, it just gives up). This is all purely hypothetical, but it makes me wonder if the things that they have put into it to make it nice to use/live with are perhaps going to cause occasional failures like this. I wouldn't be getting up in arms over it, unless there are many repeats. I have personally ruined an Xtreme clutch - just an HD thing. I can't remember if it was still behind the 20 or was after the 25 went in. But it inverted some of the retaining spring/clip things around the outside. No-one could explain it. It wasn't thrashed, there wasn't heaps of torque being put through it, and there were no obvious problems other than the above. They were quite concerned by the event so they replaced it even though it was a few years old, which was very nice of them. As far as I am concerned, these things happen with clutches.
