Ive noticed alot lately when being around GTRs that they have a problem with high oil temps, why is this sk? Why doesnt RB25DET have the same problem? Minus the extra turbo ofcourse

U definately got a bad batch of fuel then, As much as everyone says "optimax is shit etc ...." ive never had a problem with it, and compared the Ultimate, feels exacly the same no power loss no nothing, and my spark plugs are PERFECT, i just changed them recently so meh optimax or ultimate, dont really matter I think the thing with optimax is it has some kind of cleaner or something it in, thats why it smells bad, and ive heard from some people that it doesnt have a good shelf life Solution: Use a mix of ultimate and optimax hehe

Ide say it would have to have been somewhat damaged before the track day, and the 5 laps just finished it off. Then again, i dont know much about RB26DETT internal details

Sweet, where abouts is the Museum. Its going down on my 'Definates' on places to visit next year

hehe there is two words i liked in that: Concurr and expensomax Bleed valves tend to get some gunk buildup in them after awhile, which would obviously affect its operation. But by the sounds of it, its probably just fuel, check all your hose clamps and do the normal inspection. It will probably go back to normal. You done a oil/plug/fuel filter change recently? Not that this would alter boost, but it does make a big difference in terms of smoothness in power delivery.

I like the 1JZ soarers, They look so fat and luxery, but still have the kick. And they are so cheap these days youd be stupid not to buy one if u wanted luxery/performance.

Every car when its first thought up and designed, weather its a brand new model or a changed existing model, always has an underlying reason for development. It can be cheap everyday car, luxury car, performance etc What i was saying is that Skylines purpose was mainly focused on performance. Yes the GTR and EVO are performance bred. But im saying again that the EVO is too much like a normal lancer to really stand out for me. Entry level skyline? The different between GTSt and GTR isnt like comparing a lancer with an EVO, Because a lancer is not performance orientated AT ALL, Gtst on the other hand is. Even the DE models have atleast a straight 6 and rear wheel drive. The normal lancer couldnt be further from the EVO. So saying a GTR is just a riced up GTSt is stupid, cos a GTSt isnt rice in the first place, a normal lancer is. My point? Well how about the fact that the ratio of lancers to skylines here is about 1000:1, and that would be about the ratio of people that could tell the difference between a lancer and evo aswell. Ofcourse there is heaps of skyines in japan, just like there is heaps of commodores in australia. But were talking about australia here.. Yes man, the little ricer lancer boy told me And lancer will always have the little ricer boy problem, even if you have an EVO, 99 out of 100 people will look and go pff another lancer. If you look way back into Skylines history when it was invented by the price motor company, their focus even if clouded back then, was always performance. Thus why i think EVOs arent that popular compared to GTRs or MKIV Supras, because people associate them to the normal lancer which just doesnt stand out compared to the competition. Common, u put a GLX lancer next to an evo, yeh they are a little different, but considering they are TOTALLY different cars underneath... They both look way too similar. The sheer number of EVOs would annoy me if i owned one, i mean there already up to 10!! its like final fantasy! Buy an EVO 10 and 2 years later EVO 11 comes out. This was always going to be silly from the start, you obviously love Evos, and i love GTRs, thats why im here They both mad cars, and if the EVO body was different ide have nothing against it. I think after 10 EVOs they could have designed something that looks better and is totally different to the other, theyve just altered the look a little and bang a new one. yeh thats exacly what im saying. Even the base base base model skyline still looks alrite. I just cant stand the lancer look, too many dickheads own them everywhere. The EVO just doesnt have the body to match its performance.

Nice Look at the community we now have

Great thread, ive often thought about testing for leaks

my car starts really quick with optimax but i usually use BP ultimate they are both the same imo

Ofcourse the skyline was mass produced evo_lee... what car that u can buy isnt.. But u count the number of lancers that go past on a busy street compared to the number of GTRs or even GTSt skylines. And we are talking australia here, it is skylines australia My against for the EVO is simply the fact it looks too similar to a normal lancer, which in no way is a performance car anyway. So u cant say the GTR is just a riced up gtst. The entire range of skylines is performance bred, but lancers; One side is cheap cars to be mass produced, the other peformance. And brand new they are fairly expensive. I beleive for a car to be truely unique, it needs the whole package.. Looks, power, handling, agressive, price, attractive etc etc Other than that tho, the EVOs are fast!

the only one that looks even half descent is the 2nd from the right the rest just look too much like a crazy hybrid power electric vehicle etc

Pfff all they did was put a cosmo motor in and work the shit outta it, been done before i thought it was actually the Renesis rotary engine making 900hp They probably sold the brand new renesis engine which payed for 50% of the mods

Youll have a hard time finding a 33 for $15K Even dead stock, u cant import one for that price If u can only afford the 180, then get the 180 but make sure its an SR20DET

Ive always disliked the Evo mainly because its a lancer, and they mass produce lancers here so every mtfker and his dog can put a muffler on and think they are cool. If they made the EVO look totally different to the $19,990 GLX lancer then ide be fine with it, but it hardly looks any different. I could never spend $70K or whatever to buy a lancer, even if it is turbo etc hmm EVO or 33/34 GTR hmmmm

I need new tyres first, but afta that ill be there

japan rocks, the police dont care about car related things

Yeh, ALOT of money and time is spent on perfecting the aerodynamics and downforce of the car

Ive never done it, but im assuming you pull the bottom hose off the radiator

Its beautiful

Man ive posted already.. I cant sleep unless my car is in a FULL lock up garage. Some people just have no respect, go steal commodores, they can be replaced.

I dont know much about running in new engines and whats supposed to happen.. But im pretty sure its meant to produce some smoke

how much does a F1 car weigh?

Cars are getting stolen all over the place! I cant sleep unless my car is in a FULL lock up garage..

wtf is going on, cars are getting stolen left right and centre. I wont sleep unless my car is in a full lock up garage.
