    stuff idiots say about skylines

    Posted

    Coming out of Bunnings not long ago a guy asked me-

    "Is that one of them Skylines mate?"

    "Yep" I says.

    "I hear there pretty powerful" he replies.

    "Yeah there ok, about 250 horse power( mines a R33 GTST )

    "Hey thats not as much as a 185kw Clubsport is it ?"

    Then sigh to myself and say, "Nah mate the Clubie's got more grunt I think"

    And then he tops it off with " What kind of V8 has it got in it ?"

    By this time I couldnt help myself anymore and hit him with-

    "Its just one of them Nissan ones" And walked off.

    Then found a convienient wall to beat my head against.

    I HATE TO SAY I TOLD YOU SO, modified car owners about to become public enemy No.1

    Its funny you know to hear about power caps on cars or modifing them. So whats Holden Special Vehicals doing or Ford Perfomace Vehicals ? Oh yeah ! thats right building 250-300 kw killers legally ! Nice ! So long as you got the cash and the government gets its cut its ok. They make me wanna puke with their double standards and hypocrisy. So long as you got the cash its ok. Give me a break. A low powered civic at a 130km/h into a power poll has about the same result as any high performance car. I just love political foot balls.

    R33 wing ideas?

    I hear your pain abcent.

    I currently have a prototype rear wing that I think will be the best of both worlds. A flat boot look and a rear wing section that rises up with the increase of speed of the car. Just at the moment looking at an adjustment for the tilt of the wing section at full extension. So you can set it almost horizontal while touring or increase the angle for more down force at the track with a push of a button. Let you know how it progresses

    Seen a few over the years.

    A few memorable ones were;

    A mate of mine bought himself a new L34 Bathurst edition Torana and after it was run in we took it for a blast along the M4 at 2.30 one morning. After we had the thing up to about 235 a dark green 68 mustang pulled along side us. My mate stompped it and he stayed with us till the Torrie would go no more then pulled it back a gear and accerated off into the distance. What impressed me the most the thing looked stock.

    Man what a ride !

    Another friend of mine had an old E30 van with a 5.7L Cleavland in it, man that thing could could mumbo !

    Had an opertunity to but a VW Beetle with a 5.7 in it as well but passed it up cause it was pretty unstable at about 140.

    A Nissan Bluebird with a Rover 3.5L V8 in it was choice

    The list of nutters goes on !

    There what I call sleepers( or Q cars in the good old days when the dinosaurs roamed supreem !)

    HELP - Climate Control

    Have you checked that the temperature sensor for the inside of the cabin is working ? Its located behind the little slotted vent on your dash board between the steering colum and your radio/climate contol station. There is also a hose that connects to it as well just make sure its still attached. Unfortunatly you'll have to take out the dash to check.

    Hope this helps Dude
