I know a guy who had an accident on his motorbike. His schlong hit the tank and now it's long gone.

Yeah that counts. I was gettin it on in the back seat and got carpet burn. Does that count?

Going by your details as posted above Merli, unless you're talking about drag racing that drop between 1st and 2nd is pretty much irrelevant. If talking track, 2750 between 2nd and 3rd is a much smaller powerband and even that would only be used at a tight track like Wakefield. A consideration maybe? I wish I knew what my ratios were.

I'm curious why some people seem to be using it to extend the life of things if this is an issue. I mean we might be using it for quicker spool time (not that it's happened for me) but the stuff is sold generally as a product to extend life rather than increase performance. My car is definitely quieter running now although my recent fuel consumption hasn't been good. It feels so much quieter when cold which I take as a positive sign. Turbo makes less noise too. So far overall, meh. I will be watching this thread with interest, keep up the research guys.

Well in that case... It was the weight issue I was querying so if that's right then go hard.

I say no wing. I'm thinking of removing mine when I get it lowered.

I was guarding it!

And all speedos are out anyway. Even my AVC-R and my speedo don't say the same thing and they take the same signal! It get's worse the faster you are going. At what speed was it 10 out or does it say 10 when you are sitting still?

I dunno how many k's I've done but about a week of normal driving then the Putty road cruise. Early days yet but I do seem to have gotten a bit extra k's from this tank of fuel. 330 with a quarter to go. See how the next couple of tanks go. Engine definitely runs quieter but I dunno about earlier boost.

I just did.

How many people have posted about dodgy gearboxes here? 5 maybe? Haven't counted, don't care. And how many registered users are there to this website? 4000 roughly. I'm presuming that you're generally bagging Skylines here because it's a bit hard to tell since you can't spell and you write sentences that make no sense. You drive a 1981 "car" because that's all you can afford. Get some education and a job.

Ok these guys are right but... It's boring as batshit. I felt like I was in a coma for a year and this story is how I characterise the area: I caught the train home one day and the station staff were on strike so the cattle drafting things you go through after putting your ticket in were stuck open. I was reading Brave New World as I walked up the stairs so I was one of the last people up there to the cattle drafting things. I looked up to notice that they were open and then I witnessed the most amazing thing. All the good and decent St Leonards people walked up to the gates and tried to put their tickets in to be validated but since the machines were off to keep the gate parts open, they had no power to accept peoples tickets. There was mass but restrained and quiet confusion as people tried to work out the significance of the ticket machines that wouldn't accept tickets until eventually some of them noticed that the little gate 20cm in front of them was actually open and they could just walk through unimpeded. The first few people went though but the second row of people hit the gates with the same confusion. "Why isn't this gate accepting my ticket? I have to put the ticket in to open the gate..." etc etc. Once this row figured it out and went through the people behind had no more problems because they were now following the crowd. I stood there thinking, "Aldous, you may have been a bipolar drunkard with no more than two good books in you but you really had some amazing moments of clarity."

Boring as batshit. I lived there for a year and unless you're at least over 30 preferably 35+ then it will bore you to tears. It's like Soma town.

They run 5psi boost so I can't see it being a worthwhile upgrade.

Wouldn't you use a water to air cooler rather than air to air?

Friday night wombat cruises?

Fair enough. So sad.

Learn throttle control.

This is what I'm referring to. Are you saying now that he wasn't overtaking?

Yeah but not 2, 3 or 4 years old.

You'd have to go the freeway though. Wouldn't want to make the suspension work too hard or risk getting the thing dirty on Putty Road. Probably parks it in the lounge room too.

You're right Moanie but... KEEPING UP AND OVERTAKING ARE NOT THE SAME THING. My first time for CAPS LOCK! he he.

Just leave this bit out mate. You can't complain about keeping up and high speed cruising when you're not last in the line of cars and the issue at point is that of an overtaking manoeuvre up the line. Who were you trying to keep up with? The people behind you? The speed of the cruise is another issue entirely.

Mine uses that much all the time but I have a lead foot.
