Yesterday saw a nice Bayside Blue R34 GT Coupe with P plates (and SAU Stickers) line up next to a ford GT-P which was revving its face off. Ford drives off like a maniac, our SAU'er drives away normally with a look on his face that simply said "dickhead" (in reference to the ford driver) +1 young SAU'er It was on the intersection of Blackburn road and Ferntree gully road yesterday

And if you CAN aford what Paul is saying here, do the smarter thing and do the upgrades everyone is saying..

If anything, I think the second review is more positive than the first one. He credits the car with simply never breaking loose and just gripping to the track, every time, all the time, etc. The GT-R seems to have way more grip and brakes than outright power, so it will 'feel' boring. I suppose if some modders decided to add a couple of hundred HP it'd smash more things and be considerably more 'exciting' as it stresses the car's limits on grip. Now if he had've said that, everyone listening would have been happy with his judgement all of the sudden

...whether there are different ABS computers for Series 1 or Series 2 R34 N/A's? My car is a Series II. Amongst other things I won't get into, there is a question of (what is supposedly) a R34 N/A Engine loom, not connecting to the ABS ECU thats in the engine bay. I'm told this stock loom has different plugs than this stock ABS Computer. However, they've asked around, and found many other ABS computers which apparently are just like mine. This would be highly unusual if Series II are different as there are far less Series II arounds than Series I. Can anyone shed any light on this, lol.

Why is it exactly that Supras are referred to as being 'shit around the track' Youd think that going on forum-talk alone, that it should be considerably better than say a GTST or GTT, and provided it had good grip.. better than a rb26? Is it just noone sets them up for cornering, etc? Or are there other issues and things 'wrong' with the Supra that GTT's/GTR's can best it 'easily', or is it just forum bias lol

+1 for a Zombie game to actually make me want to know more about it though, after playing others in the past

FWIW, the 4 door R34 is a grand total of 20kg heavier.. IMO thats a small price to pay for two extra doors and (Possibly?) less attention from the boys in blue

... they actually DID roll this out?

You won't see it, as R34 N/A's do not have traction control. At all, period. It just doesn't exist man.. I.E it is always off.

... unless the auto actually allows you to pick gears

Any epic recommended Auto Electricians in Vic? As you may notice, my sig may denote a few* electrical issues.

1) Look at gauge 2) If gauge is anywhere but in the middle where it should be, correct problem ASAP

Not much. Well other than the hilarious sig, the fact they have to get it to run with a piggyback ECU. But it's safe to say 99.9% of the issues are actually electrical in one form or another. I guess I'm just looking for someone who understands that wires carry electricity and as long as they carry it to whatever sensor is looking for what, it should be OK. Apparently 'tis not that simple.

So, can anyone recommend a... f**king amazing, totally awesome auto electrician? Like, trent style rep, but .. is an auto electrician?

I'm more than happy to send mine back if you have more potential ideas for response on a R33 turbo too

I got it back.. sort of. There was a lot of.. outstanding issues.. which are now getting looked at... I'll update my sig for the lulz. They only moved about 100 metres in the end.. that said I wouldn't mind if someone accidentally towed this thing off a cliff. It's pretty much the worst car ever..

Hey if you can't say anything nice, don't say anything at all, so.... .. .... ...

Thats more or less what I was thinking, the car had 255's all round before on Potenza RE050A's. He recommended I go smaller. I just found it odd. In the future I'm happy to go back to a 255 profile for better grip. I wasnt exactly being stingy, the tyres he ended up selling me (which grip well, at least atm for what the car is, I can't complain, though I don't notice the steering to be noticably better) were considerably cheaper than the ones I walked in and attempted to buy. So as this is odd from a sales point of view, I thought I'd ask the wiser minds here. Thanks for the! feedback.

Dropped my car off at the same place it was at for 14 months, for a 'week' for them to finish 'some™' electical issues (about 25 of them). Chances of seeing this car in 1 week, I'm wagering low.

I realise that, which was why I was skeptical. Surely more tyre, more grip? Unless he was suggesting somewhat of an offset to counter for a skyline's (somewhat) natural desire to ....oversteer? Uh. Would have thought they were more prone to understeer. I'm just trying to understand why, when presented with a customer who wanted to buy 4x 255's, that he would try and sell them a cheaper tyre (as its smaller) under the premise of providing better handling. The angle he was going was that it was physically harder to handle the car (i.e, turn the wheel) if you have big fat fronts. Is this, for lack of a better term - Completely incorrect? Or one of those things thats technically correct but so infintely small an effect as so it wouldn't be there at all?

Sorry, I should revise and say that smaller tyres at the front As in reducing size from a 255 to a 235 at the fronts would improve handling of the car in general, and that going larger would actually cause the car to handle worse. This was irrespective of rim size (i.e, with an appropriate rim for whatever tyre size ultimately selected)

Hi all. Sorry to post what must be a very basic question. I have just recently obtained a set of new tyres. Previously I had 4x 255/35/r18's. However, when I went to replace them I was advised that smaller tyres are better for handling, in general. The car is a RWD Skyline, so I was advised I'd get far better handling by running something like 235's up front, and 255's at the rear. I hadn't heard of anything like this before. Is this true? Is it just weight that would make a difference? We'll assume that the rims involved can fit both tyre widths fine, is there actually a disadvantage for running wider front tires on a RWD car? Again, sorry if there's a lot of people facepalming away at what is a very basic question that I couldn't find any info on, anywhere.

R33 GTR (imo)

lol thanks That said, the day was awesome apart from the fact that my damn car broke down, twice. This is in addition to it breaking down on thursday. The stress of this may have added a few years I think.

30 tomorrow
