HAHAHA i drove my R33 GTS-T to school for the first day today. Im in yr 12, and i pulled up out the front, my whole year was like WTF LOL, and ne way when i decied to skip the last 2 periods (it was liek 38 degrees) a fellow student in a late 80's FORD Falcon sedan, yelled out RICE BURNER! HAHAHAH

I question, my mate has a Twin Turbo Supra a 86model, 2 lt, and i suspect the boost is wound right up say 1 bar, and it has a Factory blow of valve. This mate is a mechanic and assures me mine has one too, however when he backs off or shifts i her a shhhhhhh, like a blow of not, a heeps loud one, and it will even do it slightly at like 3-4 RPM.

Mines nothing like this :)

Standard exhaust, on my line, standard air boc.

He's got a 3" right through and a pod?

Would this be the differece.

Thanks Michael

my whole year was like WTF LOL

haha kids these days speaking in TLA IRL (:P).

I remember when me and my mates used to rock up to school in cressidas, corollas, falcons and shit, and they were cool simply for the fact that you and 4 mates didn't have to catch the school bus.

As for your BOV issues, yes a pod will make it louder, alternatively an aftermarket BOV instead of the factory plumb back unit will also help you be fully sik and hektik.

When i was in grade 12 my car was only 2 years old.... LOL

And at this time way out of my budget....

In 6 years you will have an r34 GTR and you will look back and say what a piece of crap (in comparison) LOL

I drove a 1300cc torana to school... Did little tyre squeels in reverse at redline and dump (4000rpm.,... LOL) What a heap of sh$t

When I was in Year 12 ( almost 10 years ago) i used to rock up in a mid 80's Toyota Crown Royal Saloon (coomplete with factory fridge). No one cared what car you owned, fact was you had a car the rest of the "peasents" were on the bus.

Back in the day of year 12, the coolest guy in the grade well so called coolest, had the Nissan EXA with the doof doof system.

We all drove our shitters, and I had my camry with my doof doof system. Its pretty much the factor of who had the loudest sound system!!!

The year after finishing, I bought my line... The guy who had the exa bought himself an impala

I was trying to do the maths on this..... and it wasn't adding up..

I was trying to figure if you'd "stayed back a year" or started school late...

Then I realised you live in NSW and can get a licence at 17. :)

as if there's not already enough peer pressure with just having to wear the 'in' clothes, the 'in' shoes, (and accessories) the 'in' hairdo, the 'in' deodorant and having the coolest contact on your books and the most fully sik calculator-cum-pda/phone/mp3 player, you have to drive the right car as well? :)

Are you sure the guy said "rice burner"?

If you yell "NICE CAR" it sounds very similar B)

dammit where'd the rest of the thread go?!??

:) I cleaned a couple of uncalled for 'nasty' posts out of here last night, but I didn't leave the thread "empty" like it is now!

Back in '88 when I was finishing VCE I was the only kid with a licence (I was half a year older then most kids due to a dicrepancy between german and australian school years ;-)

So for one brief half year I was the coolest kid in class with the aid of my Dad's Landcruiser (wipes nostalgic tear from corner of eye)

The young ones - they grow up so fast now

At my school only a very small proportion of people had their own car during year 12. And none of them were nice. One kid had a Q's Silvia, and he was king of the hill :P.

Due to being skipped ahead a year in primary school (nerd!!!) I didn't get my license until half way through 1st year university. Then I got to drive around in the powerhouse that is my mother's automatic 1995 Hyundai Lantra.

Even worse, I couldn't drink alcohol in the tavern at uni until half way through first semester of 2nd year!!! Damn being young!!! The advantage is that I am only 20 years old, but I have my engineering degree and I am in full time engineering work :( .

Haha, pimpin' yo!

Just about everyone in years 11 & 12 at my school had their license, so there were usually cars as far as the eye could see outside. I just thought it was great when my mum didn't have to work and I got to take her little silver 'Rolla instead of catching the bus XD

    • Biggest thing is you're okay!   It sounds like between the accident, and the drive home, it was a pretty torturous trip again! On the bright side, you took the opportunity to enjoy the event more from the perspective of a spectator, than as an entrant!   Sad to see so much damage to the car. It really has taken a HUGE hit in the front end. If/when you choose to repair, hopefully the rails are straight (At least from shock tower backwards). Hopefully the extra cage coming through there has save most of the chassis rails, and HOPEFULLY saved the motor too. Best of luck when you eventually get motivated to start pulling it down to check it all out
    • Sounds more like what Brad said, that it's mainly transfer. What pad bed in procedure did you use, and did you replace/machine the rotors, or just swap pads?
    • The stutter is almost entirely in the pedal. I don't feel the brakes release and reapply as you would with ABS engaging but the pedal feels that way, without the brakes releasing. It only lasts for less than a second and the pedal is fine again. It's hard to explain, sorry.  I'll get under this weekend and just double check everything is tight. Fluid is at max where I left it.
    • What bedding in procedure did you use?   When you say stutter, what exactly do you mean? Like it feels like someone letting go of the brakes momentarily and regrabbing them again to get you to stop? Re-reading your post, and that is what it kind of makes me think you're explaining, like theres a little bit of a jolt, likely just as you're reaching a stop. I've only had this issue once. And if its caused by what caused mine, you will want to get the car up on stands again and check it over. Mine was a case of a caliper mounting bolt coming out and letting the caliper rotate on the other remaining bolt and gave play in a wheel as it came to a stop. But not every stop either!
    • Yeop... binned it   This will be a summary will not many pics atm and cbf  Fixed the samsonas - it was totally munched Put a new precision 7675 T4 on with proper split pulse mani Got to Sydney to get to car - drove to canberra to get racecar - drive back to sydney that night Next day all day at Plasmaman putting on new clamps cleaning some things up and adding another large engine oil cooler sitting at the rear above diffuser to keep things cooler Next day - Tuesday - on Dyno - killer wikid awesome pumped out really good numbers - more mid range and on lower boost levels Wednesday - first prac - all day again getting the suspension right - had to borrow front suspension again - out do a lap come in - out do a lap - in - what i had just couldnt handle the load at the more consistent higher speeds - got a lap in at the end of the day that was pretty reasonable  Put it this way that lap wouldve had me in 4th in Pro am for the whole event - with only 700 hp and used tyres Thurs first official prac day - lap out warm up - then entered a hotlap with above setting and 80% effort took corners 1,2,3 and into 4 car felt awesome -  rear came around out of nowhere bang into the wall near front on at whatever 140 kmph Done, over, gone Just one of those how did that happen apparently as all indications show nothing out of the ordinary Got to spend the rest of the time at the event like I hadnt done before - was actually Ok mainly as I had my family and my boy is 9 and got treated like a rockstar Long trip home, lost a trailer wheel in nowhere land, X5 airbag suspension gave up half way across nullabour and rode on bumps stops (its now completely fine) had to do a 19 hr drive day on day 3 as accommodation got screwed up so just had to keep driving till found a town with some Now to reassess - hopefully the motor and other things are OK but yet to be seen too. There is no easy fix there is no i'll just order that part and get it sent - we'll have a talk to people see what can happen and what the go is but at minimum its rebuild from scratch struts forward and alot of time effort and $ should and if I return and if but maybe/ when  I have the cage tied into the front strut towers - if I didnt have that things couldnt been worse you can say its just a front end but if you know what goes into these cars... you'll know what that actually means in reality   Car was very fast. Disappointing we just didnt get to show it Effort doesnt win you races though     Apparently this is motorsport !
