Honestly I rate my driving 2 on your chart. I have been out on the track at oran park a few times and had a ball, I have excelent car control although I have yet to full master the skyline (as far as pushed it to its full potential)

I think you're rating system is a little skewed...

Just because you can do EC in 2:02 (which really isn't anything to brag about), and Wakefield in 1:17 (*really* nothing to brag about), it doesn't mean you're a good driver at all...

Lap times are very dependant on the car... I'd say nearly everyone would be able to pull off a sub two minute EC lap in my car, just purely because of the power...

Out of 5, I'd rate myself a 3.

aye yay yay, can never please everyone.

your more than welcome to structure a scale of your own that makes more sense to you.

I agree it's not the best rating system but hey it's not exactly the bureau of statistics!

Having stepped out of a stationwagon and into a Skyline I felt that my driving skills increased tenfold but they DON'T.

Overconfidence is something that I know I've been guilty of on occasions, where you pull something off and then think to yourself, "This could have ended in tears!"

Rating oneself is hard to do so all I will say is that I can reverse park OK and I hit the Natio with gusto when I'm there.

One day I'll go to the track and find out just how poor my skills are!

I abstain :P:)

I'm a reasonable driver, I understand car control and can push the limits once I'm familiar with a car. I'm no Fangio, even though an undercover cop likened me to the great man once.

I only made it to 0 yesterday, 1.22.03 at wakefield!

edit: I think I may have posted these out of order...

Hey duncan, is the skyline difficult to throw around wakefield??

I would've thought a skyline would be doing mid teens?

What mods do you have?

Or were you just BSing about your time :)

EDIT: oh...you mean 1.03.22??? ;)

lol! the 1.22.03 was in the daewoo, on road tyres.

my skyline best is 1.11, stock except 9psi boost. I think that's the club record still.

    • So, now all you need to do is connect the 2 or 3x 12v feeds into the unit to permanent 12v, ACC 12V and IGN 12V that you can find in the spot behind the stereo, and the earth, and then it will switch on with the car.
    • Yes then it will turn on but I want the car features to work  
    • My thought is if you were just moving it forward and the upstream geometry remained the same, then no difference at all. But because the current one has the filter direct into the AFM inlet, you effectively have the best chance of a completely symmetric air flow profile upstream, and in, the AFM, whilst the aftermarket inlet thingo has a (small, to be sure) bend between the filter and the AFM. That would bias the flow to the outside of the bend (downstream of the bend) which might well reduce the size of the signal seen by the AFM, for the same total flow rate. Having said that: If you're proposing to make your inlet look like a hybrid of your existing one and the aftermarket one, such that there is no bend where the filter is clamped on... then I say it will be just fine. If there is going to be such a bend, then, if you can align the insertion of the AFM blade such that it is at right angles to the plane of the bend, then there is a better than even chance that the centreline velocity where the blade is will remain more or less the same, and the velocity will just be a little faster to the outside of that, and just a little slower to the inside. **This is not professional investment advice and you should consult a suitably qualified ouija board, tea leaves or the intestines of a goat for more accurate prognostication.
    • Hi Tao, Thanks for your reply.  It's been a while and I managed to get the valve stem seals replaced with the head on the car.  Unfortunately this didn't solve my issue, the car still smokes a lot after idling (to be honest during idle you can see a bit of blue smoke from the exhaust), same after deceleration. I will try disconnecting the valve cover breathers, do I leave the PCV valve in? By engine oil drain pipe, do you mean the turbo oil drain?
    • What about if you just give it direct 12v and earth?
