couple of years back id parked up on the side of the road and had some kid come over ( about 16 id say) and ask me what "stage" turbo kit i had in my R32 GTR

I told him they were just stock and that we werent in "NEED FOR SPEED"!!!!

I also noticed that the bogans loved my VX clubby, but do not appreciate the skyline at all haha

First off you need to picture me, typical Anglo Australian, 90+ Kgs and a goatee (White as toothpaste and look meaner than your 'wanna-be' local bikie gang)

Stop at a set of lights outside of an event that had just finished, Kids (teens) everywhere.

3 little euro kids walk past the front of my care to cross the street and i hear this kid (no older than 13 y/o) "white guy should give that car to someone that would know how to drive it, WOGS FOR LIFE!!"

The most common line i get is "Do a burn out!"

lol at the kids hehe "do a burnout" "is it turbo" "does it go fast" but hey you're not exactly talking to an adult so dont be harsh, either ignore or go with it hehe. like this "yes kid its fast and it will do 400 km/h" their response would be "wow you're so cool when i grow up i want to be like you" you send them off with "stay off the streets and in school". see you've just made a difference, that kid will probably leave school the next day and become a shoplifter then take up ice and lsd while losing their virginity to an aids infested hobo or as they say these days "ganga".

couple guys at work are always asking when my car will be finished and back on the road. sometimes they hang shit and sometimes interested talking about the car as they dont know much about imports.

other day one guy comes up to me and says he has decided my car is now a piece of crap and waste of time as someone went to drifts and saw a 33 with an LS1. then explaining why would i want some turbo 6 crap when i could have a real engine put in it...

I hate it when bogan trash approach you and the follow conversation ensues:

"is it a GTR?"

"No"

"Well it's shit then."

"well what do you drive?"

"A commodore"

"is it a supercharged V8?"

"No but.."

"f**k off then"

I don't get the stigma, that unless you drive a fully hektik 600HP+ GTR, your skyline is apparently shit. But the bogan who tells you this is trying to defend their clapped out VT commodore that has an ecotec in it.

Most turbo skylines will beat most cars in the road.

Haha i just realised i had a awesome one from this old dude at autobahn in springwood.

I have 18" CR-Kai's with out the centre caps.

Old Dude: (he points at rear wheels) hey buddy you need get down to the wreckers asap and get some hub caps your hub bearings are exposed they'll rust out.

Me: :S No they are meant to be like that

Old Dude: walks of disgusted shaking head

Had 2 different non skyline owners give nice comments about my car, with one of them owning a V8 ute :) and another whose bro owns a S13. So at least some out there do appreciate skylines.

Pulled up on thr intersection off henly beach road and west trc,

Firstly im about as wog looking as you can get for a wog!

Two kids in a vl calais,

OhhhhMaaaaahhhhGAwwwd bro thats killa ...there killla ayyy

Me and the missus absoultly pisssed our selves laughing thr whole way home!

(it was a fully hectic situation)

girl in my grade was talking to me about my new skyline (r33 gts) :)

girl: is your car a manual

me: ofcourse, you know me i wouldnt drive an auto

girl: does that mean it makes that special sound when it changes gears? or is that not in yet.

me: thats turbos only lol

girl: ohh :( dissapointed.

me: Its called a Blow Off Valve it gets rid of backed up air pressure from turbo

girl: that sound makes me froth :P

LOL

Just moved into a new house

Neighbours from across the road

Guy: nice car you got there

Me: thanks

Guy: yeah I said to my missis the other day what a nice mecedes it was and it looks so good . But then our son said 'no dad it's a skyline ' I had to go and look at the badge before I believed him '

    • That's odd, it works fine here. Try loading it on a different device or browser? It's Jack Phillips JDM, a Skyline wrecker in Victoria. Not the cheapest, but I have found them helpful to find obscure parts in AU. https://jpjdm.com/shop/index.php
    • Yeah. I second all of the above. The only way to see that sort of voltage is if something is generating it as a side effect of being f**ked up. The other thing you could do would be to put a load onto that 30V terminal, something like a brakelamp globe. See if it pulls the voltage away comepletely or if some or all of it stays there while loaded. Will give you something of an idea about how much danger it could cause.
    • I would say, you've got one hell of an underlying issue there. You're saying, coils were fully unplugged, and the fuse to that circuit was unplugged, and you measured 30v? Either something is giving you some WILD EMI, and that's an induced voltage, OR something is managing to backfeed, AND that something has problems. It could be something like the ECU if it takes power from there, and also gets power from another source IF there's an internal issue in the ECU. The way to check would be pull that fuse, unplug the coils, and then probe the ECU pins. However it could be something else doing it. Additionally, if it is something wired in, and that something is pulsing, IE a PWM circuit and it's an inductive load and doesnt have proper flyback protection, that would also do it. A possibility would be if you have something like a PWM fuel pump, it might be giving flyback voltages (dangerous to stuff!). I'd put the circuit back into its "broken" state, confirm the weird voltage is back, and then one by one unplug devices until that voltage disappears. That's a quick way to find an associated device. Otherwise I'd need to look at the wiring diagrams, and then understand any electrical mods done.   But you really should not be seeing the above issue, and really, it's indicating something is failing, and possibly why the fuse blew to begin with.
    • A lot of what you said there are fair observations and part of why I made that list, to make some of these things (like no advantage between the GSeries and GSeries II at PR2.4 in a lot of cases) however I'm not fully convinced by other comments.  One thing to bare in mind is that compressor flow maps are talking about MASS flow, in terms of the compressor side you shouldn't end up running more or less airflow vs another compressor map for the same advertised flow if all external environmental conditions are equivalent if the compressor efficiency is lower as that advertised mass flow takes that into consideration.   Once the intercooler becomes involved the in-plenum air temperature shouldn't be that different, either... the main thing that is likely to affect the end power is the final exhaust manifold pressure - which *WILL* go up when you run out of compressor efficiency when you run off the map earlier on the original G-Series versus G-Series II as you need to keep the gate shut to achieve similar airflow.    Also, how do you figure response based off surge line?  I've seen people claim that as an absolute fact before but am pretty sure I've seen compressors with worse surge lines actually "stand up" faster (and ironically be more likely to surge), I'm not super convinced - it's really a thing we won't easily be able to determine until people start using them.     There are some things on the maps that actually make me wonder if there is a chance that they may respond no worse... if not BETTER?!  which brings me to your next point... Why G2 have lower max rpm?  Really good question and I've been wondering about this too.  The maximum speed *AND* the compressor maps both look like what I'd normally expect if Garrett had extended the exducers out, but they claim the same inducer and exducer size for the whole range.   If you compare the speed lines between any G and G2 version the G2 speed lines support higher flow for the same compressor speed, kinda giving a pretty clear "better at pumping more air for the same speed" impression. Presumably the exducer includes any extended tip design instead of just the backplate, but nonetheless I'd love to see good pics/measurements of the G2 compressors as everything kinda points to something different about the exducer - specifically that it must be further out from the centerline, which means a lower rpm for the same max tip speed and often also results in higher pressure ratio efficiency, narrower maps, and often actually can result in better spool vs a smaller exducer for the same inducer size... no doubt partly due to the above phenomenon of needing less turbine speed to achieve the same airflow when using a smaller trim. Not sure if this is just camera angle or what, but this kinda looks interesting on the G35 990 compressor tips: Very interested to see what happens when people start testing these, and if we start getting more details about what's different.
