Sold Skyline and now have new toy


Recommended Posts

I sold my Skyline 1 week ago and with $30,000 grand to spend I went shopping for a new car. My original plan was to get a 4wd but I would only really use it 5% of the time. So I ended up buying a fully worked VR Commodore Clubsport converted to a VS with Hydratrack. I know it doesn't handle like my Skyline but this motor is a 366 that's 6.0 litres with 100hp NOS System Installed. The car is in Showroom Condition currently producing 235rwkw not bad for NA. The car only cost me $14000 and has $50000 spend on it in the last 6 years. I still love Skylines but I couldn't insure mine for a reasonable price. Plus I often carry 4 people. It leaves me with a lot of spending money though.

The car is getting the auto box rebuilt though with stall convertor and heavy duty clutch packs and stage 2 shift kit controlled by ECU fully adjustable. As bad as auto's can be the T700 can be turned into a beast that you can shift at your lesure. Plus take offs will be quicker for drags. At least now I have a 250km speedo instead of the silly 180 I used to have and clock all the time.

30k not high consider this I just lost 20k in 6 months. New Motor 3.0 new turbo new intercooler new Haltech E6k new exhaust New Bodykit front side rear + Wing but I knew this when I was building it. But new project already runs 11's ant half price and NA still might supercharge it and bam instant 600rwkw.

    • I should note too as I have all 4 wheel speed inputs to the emtron I now have the emtron controlling the attessa solenoid for 4wd/traction and launch control strategies. 
    • It works quite well with the adjustibility within each of the programs of the turbolamik. Essentially p1 is drive and lockup comes on like a normal driver.  But in program 7 I have customised it to not request the lockup clutch to engage until something like 6500/7 when slip was the lowest. 
    • Yep, I like that. The tags are only on the first post of a thread and we don't get huge numbers of new threads. Also, I plan to add some more report types and we could have a member report type like 'review tags' then members could flag if they thought a topic wasn't tagged correctly.  No way man, I dig the input. Thanks! 
    • It's a valid thought. There's not exactly that functionality already (when creating a thread) - that's where the OP can use/create any tag they want. We'd have to come up with a way for the user to request their tags get reviewed or something. Otherwise the mods would have to review every new post's tags (for those that have them, anyway). There's kind of that functionality already exists to some extent, post facto of starting the thread, where the OP or any other user could report the post to admins, and request that tags get reviewed. We could do this already, and any user could already have made such a request. To make it a part of the forum proper, it would require an initial and an ongoing education programme, so that people know that it's a thing. OP based tagging/request for review would also require at least some (probably most) of the user base to be told that it's a thing they can do. Both of these things probably wouldn't spread too far and/or get used very much. If it was the standard approach on a lot of different sites, then it might do, because people would be used to it. Prank's approach to this differs from my original thought, by leaning into tagging. Which is fine - it's possibly better than what I originally suggested. In fact, I just went to the R32 GTR wiring diagram thread and added tags, including "Library". That's probably a good way to use tags and the idea of a library. We just have to drag together an (organised!) index of threads or posts that have that tag. I have yet to do any of my own follow up by pursuing worthy threads and posts and reporting/marking/tagging them for the library, such as the @Sydneykid stuff I was talking about, and possibly any amount of @Lithium 's and others' posts. At least if I tag them Library, we'll have a start.   Back to @Wazmond's idea as it relates to @PranK's, we might have some sort of a list of tags that are already used to scrape for this library. I'm not entirely sure how that would be presented or used, particularly if it got long. But it's yet another idea!   cheers
    • Just a thought, but instead of restricting, is it possible to do like an "up for review" kind of thing? Where say someone who's not an admin/mod tags, it would require approval for it to actually tag? User posts with a 'tag' > Admin/Mod Reviews > Approves tag > Tag now exists kinda thing? Just came across this thread so Im not too sure if Im straying off topic or not but forgive me if i am...
