"GT-RS SUCK

I was recently reading the Dec-Jan 2003 isuee which I found lying around and something was brought to my attention. In 'Reaction Time', one reader - obviously the owner of a Skyline GTR - beleives that his car can beat an old-school V8. If he had any sort of a brain, he would realise that cars like the old GT-HO and Monaros would leave there litlle Jap-crap imports for dead with or without the need for a turbo. I am a p-plater but while on my Ls I was behind the wheel of a stock standard Diahatsu Charade with a 1.3 under the bonnet (which I am aware is a Jap made car) and have not once been beaten by another Jap-import car.

I think Nissan should stick to making family cars because the Skyline is a heap of shit. The ony real import to come out of Japan that is worth buying for performance is the WRX STi."

Ha ha ha what a classic - Nice one SPEED. I think you just chucked that one in there to stir the pot some more. :(

B-man that is the 1 thing that i cannot stand!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I hate all these people (usually aussie V8 drivers) going on about the power and potential of holdens. Not bagging these cars but from my experience skylines in all cases modded or standard pull-rank over all the locally manufactured cars. I hate when ppl dont look at the full story and just stick to their own biased oppinions...

Hey guys, Iain from Speed here (as opposed to Iain on speed... :Paranoid: )

We're glad you like the article and look forward to having some SAU cars featured in the mag. :headspin: Thanks for letting us know about the show and the help during the day.

Oh, and that letter wasn't written by anyone here in the office. Rest assured we get weirder ones. (It can be a real worry...:bonk: :looney:)

Cheers :)

    • I’d love to find some where that can recover the dashes to look brand new and original. Mine has a very slight bubble, nothing compared to some I’ve seen though 
    • $170K. I asked one of the guys there as a joke if that price was just for the passenger seat as it was where the price sheet was... he tried really hard to crack a smile 😄 He also mentioned that every single part of the car was inspected and either restored or replaced with a new or as new part, or made from scratch. The interior was incredible, every inch like a new car.
    • Time for a modernisation, throw out the AFM, stock O2s, ECU into the e-waste bin. Rip out the cable throttle, IACV, pedal, etc. into the scrap metal bin. DBW, e-throttle, modern ECU, CANbus wideband, and the thing will drive better than when it left the factory.
    • I agree, don't go trusting those trims. As I said, first step is to put the logger away, and do the basics in diagnosis.   I spend plenty of time with data loggers. I also spend plenty of time teaching "technicians" why they need to stop using their data loggers, and learn real diagnostics.   The amount of data logs I play with would probably blow most people away. I don't just use it to diagnose. I log raw CAN data too, as a nice chunk of my job is reverse engineering what automotive manufacturers are doing.
    • I'm aware, but unless you're actually seeing the voltage the ECU is seeing and you're able to verify the sensors are actually working I find it hard to just trust STFT/LTFT. I will say, logging the ECU comes naturally to me because it's one of the lowest effort methods of diagnosis and I do similar things in my day job all the time. Staring at 20+ charts looking for something that isn't quite right isn't for everyone. NDS1 allows you to log almost everything so that's normally what I do and then sort out the data later.
