and to coupe this I hope u plough into a Wall Driving at Calder. i race on the Street cause its what i can afford its what im good at, i enjoy it And you try and go to calder every night and find a variety of different races and tracks, good luck.

Thats just charming to hope that someone will smash into a wall just great.

If you dont have the money to pay to use a track then stop spending your money on crap.

You say you do it because your good at it??? Hmmm i dont think so, anyone can street race n make them selves look good but are you more for safety or ego? By the sounds of it i'd say your more for ego until someone gets hurt.

And yes everone has/had street raced before but not everyone kills one of their mates whilst doing it.

Someone i know was leaving an illegal street drag run one night he wasnt even running his car but when he left he had a tyre blow out and lost control of the car and hit a tree, noone was wearing a seat belt when he had asked them all to put it on, in conclusion the girl sittin in the backseat in the middle was thrown threw the window n died. Nice life to live when she died at 16.

You do not have to be racing to have a serious accident but whilst racing your not thinking of the consequences either.

You may do it with noone around but what about the people in your car?

Atleast in a controlled environment people are looking out for you.

i think ppl should just stfu ... and either neck themselves and do the world a favour

or open their eyes and realise not all cars are built for racing.

And to respect other types of vehicles.

Skyline gearboxes are geared for quick response, n haven a short diff ratio 4:11's in the ass end (if you dont know what this means, gtfo and find out)

simple

now, 4:11;s are usually reserved for 4 cylinder cars ... as for other cars, v8s and such run 3:08 or 3:36 diff ratio's

hmmm big difference... altho i am unsure of the newer ford and holdens to be honest

wow someone else say something! theres 10 people watching this thread! get this - saw a car with a sticker that had a 9 on it and said "beware of motorbikes"! lol righto.

f**k me guys stop being suck dicks, just because hes from ns.com doesnt me he has to 'f**k off'

i never said anything

i just dont appreciate it when people say they hope other people smash their cars n things

as far as tall diff ratios go, such as a 4.11, its to produce more torque.

a 4L ford or 3.8 commo make power from lower, dont need as many revs.

also, these engines arent quite refined enough to be safe running at the 7000 that ours can, rather 4500-5500, hence a lower ratio. my falcon has a 4.11, cos i dont need it to get to high speeds, its a HP hero car. a dyno pony, not a circuit car.

Yes, skylines and such are not far from being a road going race car, which is why it doesnt take much warming over to make and idiot out of a clown in an aussie 6 or 8.

a higher diff ration means less high speed, less economy, but higer power, is all. sports cars, imported or not, are aimed at performance. Passenger cars such as commos and falcs are designed with economy in mind. (why dont the drivers of these family trucksters realize this before they talk shit out their windows?)

wasnt really aimed at you, yeah me might be atool for street racing but just because hes on another forum means he has to f**k off

Because they have two generations of misguided and media manipulated forefathers influencing their mindset... you gotta remember that the whole australian motor industry relies on its motorsport links to keep its brand loyalty strong... hence the exclusion of imported vehicles from grpA touring. our local product is woefully backward in terms of engineering and refinement compared to the rest of the world... Which is also why the government will never allow free importation of vehicles on a large scale, our industry would die in its arse cos we just can't build a comparitively decent car.

Any way, it wasn't a sticker but a dirty van and someone had written on the rear window, wish my girlfriend was this dirty!

Man pissed myself laughing!!!

Cars are cars, people use them for different things. I owned a VYII Clubsport, 285kw good for 13.5 secs. Stock as a rock, tell me other then GTR's which stock skylines can do that?. and its not just commo drivers that are bogans but falcos aswell. At the end of the day who cares what car the other guy has and how fast etc etc etc, its his choice.

Ohh, and for that f**kwit street racer up QLD go back to school and A. learn to f**king spell and B. grow up!

People like you give not only owners of these imports but also the cars themselves a bad name!

7Shades, are you sure its Alpine? thought it was kenwood!

I agree and think the self proclaimed "postwhores" that live on here should find something more productive to do than just start e-fights with any idiot that joins these forums.

Well said nath95

On what you said about it being their car and who cares how fast it is ect. thats spot on. Hey atleast they have a car to get them from A to B and does what they want it to do.

We all have choices of what we want and the money to spend and at the end of the day we have to be happy.

qikstagea: yes "nips" is derogatory. doesnt matter what context you use it in, it will always be that, a racial slur.

R30kc70UGE: you are making it worse for yourself the more you post. For one, admitting over the net that you are all about street racing shows you are an idiot. How about you give us you QLD number plates so someone can just report you? We'll see how quick you learn. Street racing is always cheaper until you smack into something and damage your car, or worse yet, injure or kill another person. Tracks cost more for a reason. Finally, being a "longstanding" member of any forum doesnt really mean anything. Hope you dont put that on your resume!

End of the day, everyone is entitled to their choice of car. Different people have different needs. And if they feel like having gay stickers, let them.

    • Stock ECU (or more accurately stock tune) absolutely refuses to go over 10psi and behaves like you have seen. The Nistune is the same if it is the stock tune. If the Nistune chip has been tuned, the resulting tune could be literally anything for any combination of parts. The Nistune just makes the stock ECU Tunable.
    • So stock ECU does not like anything above 10 psi?  That Nistune one is just for "try" if it will be any different, I know it need to be tune for that. I know but YOU may know about these problem but i/we dont. They few little Skylines here let alone people who know anything about tham so that is why iam asking here  
    • So now we have a radiator with no attachments whatsoever. It lifts up with a particularly tight spot between the drivers side air box mount and the lower radiator outlet, but if you've got this far you will sort that too. This is the lower mounts with the rad out so you can see where the rubber bushes go, it is a straight shot upwards Done! Assembly is the reverse of disassembly, with blood less likely to be shed.
    • Right, onto the second last trick. The Air Con condenser is mounted to the front of the radiator and stays in the car when the radiator is removed. There are 2x 10mm headed self tappers holding the top of the condenser to the radiator, remove those The bottom of the condenser is attached to the radiator with clips. You need to lift the condenser out of those clips and clear (up, then forward). f**ked if  could work out how to do that last bit with the front bumper on. I hope you can, and you share the trick.  Bumper removal probably deserves its own thread one day once I've recovered the will to live, but basically you need to remove the wheels, front inner guard liners (clips and 10mm headed bolts), the self tapper between the guard and the bumper at the rearmost point of the bumper (same as an R32 that bit), any remaining clips at the top/front of the grill, an absolute bastard design with a plate that holds the top of the bumper above the headlight each side (only 1 bolt which is tricky to get to, but the plate catches 2 places on the bumper and must be removed....carefully!) and push clips between the bumper and guard under the headlight. If you've done all that you will be faced with wiring for the fog lights on both sides and in ADM Q50 RS at least, 4 nasty tight plugs on the driver's side for the ADAS stuff. So, the clips at the bottom look like this on drivers side (looking from the front) And on the passenger side (also from the front), you can see this one is already out Clearance on both of these are super tight; the condenser needs to move up but the upper rad support mount prevents that, and the radiator can't move down far because it is (rubber) mounted. Once you achieve the impossible and drop the condenser off those mounts so it does not stop the rad moving, you are good to go
    • OK, next the shroud needs to come off and there are a couple of tricks. Firstly, there is a loom from near the passenger side headlight to the fans, coolant temp sensor etc and there is no plug to undo.  In my case I was OK to leave the shroud on top of the engine so I just undid the passenger side fan plug and about 10 of the clips which gave enough free wire to put it aside. The fan plugs were super tight, the trick I used was a small falt screwdriver to push down on the release tab, then a larger flat screwdriver to lever the plug out of the fan unit....be careful with how much force you apply! If you need to remove the shroud altogether for some reason you will have to deal with all the plugs (tight) and clips (brittle)....good luck. I removed all of the clips and replaced them with cable ties that I will just cut next time. Also, in the Red Sport / 400R at least, the intake heat exchanger reservoir hose is bolted to the shroud in 2 places with 10mm headed bolts; so remove them (the hose stays in the car; no need to undo it at the t fittings down at the radiator lower mount. Once you've dealt with the HX hose and the wiring loom, there are 3x 10mm headed self tappers holding the top of the shroud to the radiator; remove those.   The shroud then lifts out of the bottom mounts where it sits on the radiator, up and onto the engine out of the way.
