One day expect someone with bipolar disorder whos out on a drive loaded with methamphetamine and pain meds to go hannibal lector on the cops face and leave him permanantly disfigured for not being a compassionate human being.
Its true that modern cars can be started and driven straight away; i start my car and let the fluids circulate for about 1minute then drive without too much load until all the drivetrain, coolant and oil has reached operating temperature.
think about it; you warm your car up for 5 minutes so the coolant and oil is at operating temp but gearbox and diff are still cold so you may be actually hurting them if you drive it hard straight away.
would seem that the gentlemans agreement was more to be 'kind' to the opposing car manufacturers; Japanese culture is very different to western business and seems to include more morals and integrity.
Same as the new GTR; no-one knows how much power it really makes as every engine is different.
An RB26 would definitely make over 240kw standard; thats without any mods
Kinda sucks huh mate that companies can write 'full synthetic' and it dosent even need to be; just a blend.
The info on the grades are correct though:
grade 1 - mineral
grade 2 - blended 'fake' sythetic with mineral (castrol magnatec fits in here)
grade 3 - better quality synthetic ( castrol edge and mobil1)
grade 4 - higher quality
grade V - jet grade 100%ester ( 300v and redline oils fit in here)
Thats why i think 8100 is fantastic cos its blended highest grades which is still better than something like castrol edge.
its 5w40 as well; 10w40 is a bit too thick for an rb26 with stockish compression.
BTW can you look out for a car with number plates RKR888 who broke into my house about 3 years ago. Funny that i stood at the front of my house for 2 hours waiting for a cop car to show.
Also funny how we never heard back on the courts verdict if in fact you did charge them.
If you really are a cop; your going on a public forum asking about a car that 'might' have been breaking the speed limit.
Why not just look out for another porsche on the road and impound his car.
Oh thanks for the heads up but i dont need it cos i dont speed on public roads.
A bloke in an r31 with a GTR badge on the back. He followed me for a while giving me 'THE STARE'
While changing gears my pod filters 'dosed' and it was like he just pop'd a fuse; his auto downchaned with rb30e goodness and he was off weaving through traffic.
Now at this point i couldnt breath from all the laughing and realised i should change gear as my tacho was hovering at 5000rpm
Full synthetic on bottles today dosent mean 'full synthetic' needs to say 100% synthetic
motul chrono 300v is a grade 5 oil = aircraft or jet grade
motul 8100 excess is blended grade 5 and 4 = best value for money
something like castrol edge is grade 3 and u pay way to much for it.
I switched from 300v = bout 150bux to 8100x-cess which is 80bux; considering i do an oil change every 2000kms i make quite a saving lolz.
Just wanna add; the NA motor does not make enough power to need the ATTESSA and let alone the drvietrain loss; the car weighs quite a bit more.
Buy the GTS
I owned one in 2000
+1 on the NA brakes; they are shocking!!!!!!!
Intercooler - 1000-1500 with pipes
Turbos - 2500-4000 + manifolds 300-1000 + dumps 400-600 + Front 200-400 + Catback 800-1200
Brakes - 3000-5000+ including disks and pads
Wheels - Sure u want them = 2000-4000
Intake plenum + injectors + fuelrail + regulator = 2500-3000
Differencial - 2000
Most importantly labour; especially to fabricate a custom tailshaft and ECU + tuning would reach 10k alone
I just entered my car last night; looking sexy i hope it racks the votes.
I already buy alot of stuff from repco so that gift card would come in handy.
Just before i cruised with a ferrari f430 in gunmetal grey convertable. It was amazing to behold one in real life as its an amazing machine and the owner was kind enough to open those exhausts us for me.
plates were *J-430
for 500plus k it definitely had the road presence and i felt nice and snug with my black gtr.
Northern suburbs, would have seen u on plenty road. I expect it was you unless there is another white gtt with carbon bonnet with girl drivin'
n yeah; the exhaust note of an rb25, for some reason i can tell it appart from an r33.
oh holy crap that looks nice. I remember your thread asking about piping kits but didnt think you'd get it so quickly.
Makes me wanna order one now. Well done mate!
