sounds a bit different to ebay specials and china copies dont it :D

(love u long time)

Im sure eveyone has bought something from ebay in their time that didnt turn out to be what they thought they were getting...

Shit happens I guess and that what you get for shopping online with someone you dont know...

I guess the old saying is true "You get what you pay for"

were u bashed as a child? or are u naturally retarded?

:blush:

That would explain a lot... But no I cant blame either, just blame the keyboard...

haha ebay specials and china copies work shane.....just not for very long.

I can assure you, also not when put under any real pressure or continued use.

apparantly so, just ask col :D

ur soo serious col, its whoretown ffs :D

Yeah I got a HKS copy wastegate, been good now for 12 months...

Done a few trackdays, have not had an issue with it at all...

If and when i breaks ill go and buy a real one from a shop/seller i can trust...

Its all just politics Dave, different people take what is said differentlly. I guess you just need to put yourself in their shoes from time to time to help understand a situation.

The forum is not a good communicator full stop, what is said can be taken a million ways its all down to those who read a post. It might seem harmless to one person yet really offensive to another, so is the moderators job to try and find middle ground and explain the situation to both parties.

Unfortunatlly this process will always end with one person thanking you and the other not so thank ful. Its a bit of a win/loose situation but there is little you can do to improve the situation other than to be a fence sitter, in which ase no one wins and everyone ends up unhappy. Like I said its a bit like federal politics, one persons idea of a good future is anothers nightmare and its the politicians job to get lap dances, i mean find middle ground where the majority are happy.

I guess sometimes you have to make line calls where its 51/49 another but the guidelines are very sound and help define the line for us who question what to do.

Hope this helps?

And we as users are adult enough to decide what offends us. We don't need someone to tell us what might offend us. If I find something offensive I'll report it. What exactly is the button at the bottom of every post there for if moderators are going to make our decisions for us?

Maybe if everyone lightened the f#%k up, we all might be able to get along. Most people who have had their posts modified or deleted have not broken ANY rules. If you don't like the look of something, it gets changed or removed....even when people are just voicing their opinion involving no personal attacks.

The rules only state no personal attacks or defamation, no profuse swearing etc. Not telling someone you think they are making the wrong decision or you think they are stupid.

Line calls aren't what's needed - if someone has a problem with something that has been said USE THE BUTTON AT THE BOTTOM TO REPORT IT.

You have been for a ride in the car shane, does it work???

Im not saying it will last for ever, im sure there is a quality difference. But you must admit it works well yeah... :)

nfi, i was too busy smiling from teh wheelspin :blush:

P.S real HKS = shit anyways, i bet the copy is betterer :D

As for the manifold you know I had it re-constructed before use, basiclly ripped apart cleaned up and welded back together with larger support tabs for each runner...

Was quite a job and was not cheap either but it works really well... As I said a few trackdays and many hours on the dyno and its stong as another branded manifold...

It works, if it breaks ill fix it i guess... But I was built for track days in mind, so Im confident it wont break...

Yep, i agree.

Wheelspin = good fun

I cant blame the power tho, it had more to do with the shit rubber I had on those rims and the fact that the insides were a bit worn... (Bit worn = steel belts)

Yeah the copy is probablly made in the same place on the same production line, seriouslly they look identical... Just no badge where the badge goes...

now shrek, tell us what u really think :P

As you said its whoretown...

edit: Meaning post what ever you want... Its not going to get modified unless it breaks the guidelines... You know that...

i wouldnt call the track days as a real test of a car or engine setup, not enough laps. But i suppose its better then street use.

Yeah its not like a V8 supercar race where their door to door for 50 laps, but its cetrainlly 8-12 minutes worth of foot to the floor...

It certainlly gets the heat into everything, if a manifold is going to crack this is the place it will do it...

    • Well, yes, every CU on the bus is available via the Consult port, but whether the scanner you are using is capable of talking to the TCU, the ABS/TCS modules, etc etc, is what is at question here. Many of them are only for engine codes. So, if you have one of those, you won't know if the ABS is having a bitch.
    • That's now. R chassis Skylines come from a time when the tolerance in the ADRs was a bit more....slack. My car, on 235/35-17, which is damn near the exact same size as the original 205/55-16, is pretty much bang on correct indicated speed across the whole legal range. That's demonstrated with constant speed run over 5km, and GPS speed. It's just the luck of the draw. My particular speedo head has to be the thing that is "calibrated" that way, because everything else (the diff ratio, the gearbox and the speedo drive**) are all same same as most other Skylines. **OK, so the speedo drive is a Navara unit to drive the R32's cable, not the electronic unit than an R33/4 would normally have with teh same gear on it. Otherwise, I applaud your OCD tendencies, and I would do the same if I needed to.
    • Not too sure, I believe the Nissan consult port does everything? Also just filled up the reservoir to full and the light is still on. The float seems to move up and down fine.
    • The speedo's can be very conservative, when my Mazda NC MX5 speedo is showing 118kph, the GPS, and a calibrated radar.... cop mate.....hits me at around 110kph +/- 1 or 2 kph, and that is on a 215/45 17, stock tyres size is 205/45 17 as well, so weirdly conservative with stock tyre size When my Commodore speedo red 116kph GPS had me at 110kph on 255/40 17, so again conservative Google says manufacturers need to set the speedo from 4 to 10% slower than actual road speed.....for safety.....and compliance  After doing some offset and clearance measurements to see what can fit the NC on 17x8 +40, without guard rolling or rubbing anything at my current ride height, I've decided that when my tyres are toast, I'm going to fit 225/45 17 and see where that gets me IRT actual speed of my speedo and GPS/radar From the online calculator I should be still be doing around 5kph under an actual 110kph when the speedo is showing 110kph My ADHD requires that when I'm doing 110kph on the speedo, that the actual road speed is actually really close to that, and not alot slower And going from 205 to 225 still keeps the car within the %/mm allowable in the NSW vehicle rules and regulations, which is nice, as long as I'm looking at the latest version that is.....LOL https://www.nsw.gov.au/sites/default/files/2021-02/RMS-13.464-Light-vehicle-modifications-Vehicle-Standards-Information-No-6-November-2013.pdf
    • Take the value it measured as, and pick the closest range available that is above the reading on the screen.   Also, no point just testing the coils. Read what has been said again. You need to test all your wiring, everything.
