Check your key collection, make sure nothing special is missing. Check doors and windows to make sure they haven't set themselves up to come back. CCTV these days is cheap and legal. Not a nice feeling when someone's been pilfering through your shit. I still have to hit a thief for smashing my window for a GPS. Any thief will do, since you'll never catch the one who actually did it, so, smash his friend.

Somehow I think if the car was a Silvia or GTS-T, this thread would be far different. But I agree nonetheless, I don't even know what the speed limits in my new local area is. I just maintain my 3 seconds gap (one of the best things you can do yourself, also lowers the stresses of driving and you wouldn't even notice), watch several cars ahead, look around, indicate at corners, and stop at stop signs and lights. It's rather easy and I've been driving in this manner for 11 years and I'm yet to be in an accident at all. Edit: And yes, if it wasn't for my attentive driving style, I definitely would have been in a few accidents. I've dodged some fools over my time, thank god I wasn't looking at my speedo at the time.

In the exhaust is a column of air, when pushed from one end, that end compresses the air slightly until the whole column of air is moving. This is your backpressure. You'll get this with a large exhaust as you have a larger column of air, with more weight. Moving this takes time, and it what causes the so called loss of power with large exhausts. With an exhaust of a smaller diameter, the column of air is far smaller. This can be pushed with less resistance. Now imagine this column of air moving again, and you then close the throttle, the airflow stops at the engine, but the column of air in the exhaust still has momentum. At it keeps trying to move it can create vacuum near the engine. While it's the most excessive way to explain it, this is your scavenging, it's the will of the column of air to move through the exhaust, and as it does it creates vacuum in the cylinders, taking all the exhaust out of the cylinder and even pulling a small about of intake charge in as the exhaust valves overlap. ---- And OP, get the limiter, it's a few hundred to make whatever noise it will make on your setup. Shit, some people have a few hundred spare and they waste it on pokies, if you don't care about the money go for it.

The TDU2 BETA has been out for a while and plenty of gameplay clips (sadly most with chase cam) I've played TDU1 a ton, mostly with the same few cars just cruising about. --- For those unbeknown to TDU, the original game's roads are satellite replica of the island of O'ahu, Hawaii. You cruise around in kinda of an MMO setting. There is a mix is single and multiplayer in the one game that you play. Driving around the MMO world you randomly come across other players, or teleport to specific players/friends. You have the freedom to cruise more than 1500k worth of roads. Up to 8 players can see each other, which surprisingly makes for more than enough mayhem at 300-400km/h. The cars are hot, the graphics were nice for their day. And I found the handling of the cars fairly accurate as long as you're using a wheel at least. Having the G25, the game supports H shifter, clutch, and force feedback to the point where you can feel understeer coming on, etc. Set your controls properly and you can use the brake in the manner of a normal car. (Separate axis, so you feather the break during powerskids, etc, harmless but immersive fun.) You can make your own Point A to Point B races with friends, a race of 1km, or maybe a race of 100km. Buy houses with huge garages, basic car upgrading, custom paint, car clubs, a race track that exists on the island itself, it's all in there. Once you're cruising a long highway at 250+ for a short time, I feel immersed in the game far more than I do with other various racing games. And there is none of that Need for Speed 200-300km/h around heavy bends either, when you get up to high speeds the car becomes very sensitive as it should. --- This all being said, TDU2 comes out early next year last time I checked. Since I lost my TDU1 account in a format, and the disc got too scratched, I cbf'd with the original so I'm pumped for this release. Who else is keen on this? It's one of the only kinds of game in this genre (MMO/Driving/Semi-Sim) and I knew a few people on the original who cruised every night, so if you have a decent setup (or any setup for that matter) I recommend TDU2 for countless hours of breaking the law with friends.

3 lots of burnouts in a commodore with these, guaranteed.

ITT: SKiT is the man. Informative post without the name calling. Half the dopes here once came, read, learned, now think they are king because long ago someone much nicer than them gave them the info they needed usually without the insults. Yes, you can use the search, but these original, informative posts are now hugely diluted with retardation. Just adding to SKiT's post: Aside from this, "I" don't know how much crackle you'll get because you'll have to get the exhaust temps up. "I" don't get crackle from "mine" unless "I" give it a few hard gears first to heat it up, and it's turbo for that matter. "I" know that if "I" specifically drifted an NA car "I'd" still have an ignition limiter for it's far smoother limiting of the revs, less jerkiness, no on-off bullshit. But "I" wouldn't need one for a NA car driven normally, it's not like you're going to reach that limiter reeeeal fast now. My 2 cents. Enjoy the day.

Doesn't affect it really, they normally only care if you've been done neg driving. Long story short, a long time ago I appealed a suspension and saw my record weighing in at 4 pages long. My insurance was not affected then, and isn't now. However if you were going much faster you could be charged with "Driving at a dangerous speed" - Getting 2 of these I believe is around a 5 year disqualification? It sits amongst the bigger charges in relation to motor vehicles, which includes murder with vehicle. You don't wanna get charged with this lol. (I didn't check your state, but they're all starting to follow each other's leads.)

Yeah depending how strong it comes on boost too. But you should drive to the damn conditions! If this experience confuses you, go to advanced driving courses. Save a life.

Bring on the 2860's

Someone translate this to awesome keyboard letters and/or mouse buttons. Srs note but, how's the game? All I know so far is it has dedicates servers which is awesome. Did it actually come with the ded servers or was that just a blatant lie in the ever evolving sales mechanics?

lol, like what Birds?

^^Exactly. Can't hack the system? Hack the minds of the people using the system. The first person who came up with this idea probably made many, many millions.

People in the world just have to remember that if they are responsible, simply pay up. There won't be any arguments, any fights, it was an accident, just pay for the damage and you'll walk away feeling a much better person. I was once rear ended in my ute by a dude at the lights because he was playing with his CD player. Guy drove a lancer with a plastic electric turbo, and I was in a alloy tray hilux. f**ked his front end and didn't even mark my tray. We still pulled over, had a chat, I didn't even take his details. I'm sure that afterwards, although the circumstances, the guy in the end felt happy to pull over, not get berated, talk honestly, and walk away without any fuss. This is similar to the thread I saw with the unnamed engine builder, the engine gets a rattle and he won't have a bar of soap of it. Well if it's the general consensus that a reputable company will look after their customers on a new engine, and this builder won't. Then he SHOULD be named, hell, I don't want to go somewhere that is known to bring out 500-1500hp engines (the part we all see/talk about), never knowing that if the engine they build has problems, they won't look after me (the part we don't see/can't talk about). Honestly IS the best policy. I bet the person that hit your car went home that day and bitched about the governments failed promises and/or something similar. Theives/liars/cheaters, all run on deception, and deception is the one biggest thing in people I despise.

Yeah you can't have any kind of variable volume exhaust on your car.

Pretty sure it can't. It's just a 'chipped' stock computer afaik.

Lol all these viewers to a question and no replies. If someone wants to just call out and choose a spot I'm more than happy to start there. Eg: Erina maccas? Gossy maccas? Westies tuggers?

Don't places like Ebay show the VIN of cars for sale? Just get someone elses VIN which has the spoiler you want, give that number to Nissan. Eitherway thought yeah it'll be expensive from them. Lol: I do the same thing when looking at available internet in a new suburb I'll be looking at moving to

Shit man, open the damn bonnet and get the number off the tag. It's also on your rego certificate, your insurance certificate, etc. Yes, Nissan 'in general' need your VIN. With that they know everything you car was built with, even the transmission, paint colour, and build number.

If you're not handy with fault diagnosis, then yes. But if you have a friend who can lend you a CAS and/or ignition module, they both take all but 5 minutes to replace each, costs you nothing to test, and will 90% chance fix your problem.

It's all labour mate, remove all induction piping, remove front turbo and manifold, then rear turbo and manifold. Oil lines, water lines, etc. Even then some studs might break, it may cost more. If seeking more power down the track perhaps think about upgrading the R32 dumps? Replace the gaskets between the manifold and turbo, and turbo + dumps? Cheap stuff to do while you have all the gear taken out mate.

^ Or CAS Plug, as it happened to me.

Got new brakes and put the stock BOV's back on, driving like a dream, I feel like I need a few hours out. Anyone out tonight? Any area on the coast, I'm available all day and night. Kinda keen on old pac but I haven't really been there in a few months.

It's that extra effort that makes your engine love you man. Cost: You have to pop bonnet and unplug a sensor. Benefit: Your engine is oiled before startup. Go do it.
