I can't support this. This doesn't help the 'scene' at all imo, nor does it improve our relationship with the Police. 

I love a fast Skyline, the noise, the spool, the aggressive lines, and yes, the speed too.

But this video has a number of high profile workshops and Youtube stars that should be setting a better example for the community. We see them on the track, we see them in Youtube clips, and most subscribers of these channels are prob between 17-30yrs old.

It's not rocket science for the cops to work out who these people are either..... Hell, they have workshop names plastered along the side of their cars.

I think everyone has a bit of a play on the roads from time to time, but this goes too far. 

Mabee i'm old fashioned....

I love everyone getting on their high horse, don't pretend you're the perfect angel. 

Are you insinuating that I'm not the perfect angel?

FWIW, as @djvoodoo said, its one thing to have a squirt on an empty road every now and then, it's another thing all together to behave like this. Also to promote it. 

Not even mentioning the damage it does to police relations with Skyline owners.

Yep, spot on.

I'm not a perfect angel either (although i haven't lost any points on my licence in 7 years)

There is a huge difference having a squirt in 2nd/ 3rd at the traffic light vs banging through 4th/5th/6th on a 1000HP car through the streets.

Cool cars, but sorry I would dob them in quick as if I saw that.  It only takes a nanosecond to go from hero to zero at that those speeds. They will kill somebody one day if they keep doing that, just too irresponsible.

And I am no angel either, been done for speeding a few times, but always the under 120km/h bracket and on open country roads.

How is it the workshops fault if their sticker is on a car which happens to be in the video?

Its a bit of a case of the pot calling the kettle black. People in this very thread have admitted to not being angles and speeding on country roads. You are no different to the people in the video.

Everyone jumps on their soapbox and talks about how bad these people but really they love it.

I'm not here to say I'm an angel or whatever.. we've all gone fast or bashed a skid on a public road but there's a huge difference between giving it a squirt in the nasho and having a full blown drag race between a 1500hp GTR and R32 with completely f**ked suspension on an open road and if you can't see or admit that you're naive.

I'm surprised one of them didn't slam into one of many parked trucks to be honest.


Sure; it's not the workshops fault, but by having interviews at the workshop in question, filming in their car park that late at night and racing on the street right outside it sure does beg the question...

    • Dunno what to tell you, when I look at it on Consult I can see this warmup timing map kicking in around 40C coolant temp and it sticks around for a while:  At part throttle on the normal base timing map it peaks around ~43 degrees of timing or something like that, this warmup timing map drops it to like 12-15 degrees. 
    • I don't think that's what you're seeing. Something else doing that. The only time I've seen it get so retarded is when it's trying to control idle (in which case we're not talking about mapped timing tagets anyway) and when there is an extreme coolant temperature sensor fault. The RB26 ECU is essentially the same as the 20 ECU and I knew that ging inside out. There is no facility for it to retard that heavily on cold start. The OEMs never used to do it back then. I mean, shit, the catalyst is abotu 3 miles down the exhaust anyway. Early light-off was just a twinkle in some EPA arsehole's eye back then, not a regular engine control strategy.
    • I must preface my comments with a general expression of ignorance. I have no specific knowledge of these NA automtaic things. I can only assume that the "steering wheel button" is for enabling the tiptronic controls. Wierd that it would even need/want a button for that... But anyway.... Was the car previously tiptronic? Did you put a new cluster in as part of all this?
    • Regardless, it doesn't seem wise especially on RBs to actually chase MBT. Timing scatter is the big one on stock CAS, even if that's fixed overshoot is worse than undershoot. 
    • It's all about reducing the overall output. Reduce the source of it, you have wayyyy less to deal with in every other step and trick you play with. It's why something like a modern vehicle, so VW, Audi etc, there's thousands of tables for the ECU to calculate what it should be doing with the engine.   Why would you NOT reduce emissions the most effective way possible, when it has very minimal tradeoff, AND manufacturers are always struggling to meet the current standards.
