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.

    • Ye good idea , would have never thought of something like that. Might aswell do it to every pulley and the balancer while I’m there 
    • Use an LS1 or similar, via kit like Frenchy's. But.... It's probably not the alternator. It sounds like belt squeal, which would be because the pulleys are glazed. Rub every groove on the pulleys with 120 grit paper. Report back. Oh, and new belts afterwards too. The old new ones will be shitted up already.
    • Hello all I have 2 r34 sedans , one turbo one na, only recently aquired the na 34.  Man what is with these things.... My turbo 34 started sounding like a super charger, it was screaming at anything above 4000rpm , I took the alternator apart and replaced the front bearing which is the only one I think you can access and it did not fix the issue so presumably the bearing in the rear of the alternator is gone. ( diagnosed it was the alternator by taking off the aux belts one by one to figure out which pulley or bearing it was )  My friend gave me one he had lying around, Installed it , it did not squeal for maybe 500kms and now its started to squeal again briefly on startup  Recently got an na r34 and I replaced the timing belt, water pump + all the auxillirary belts. Runs amazing but it suddenly developed the same squeaking problem but significantly worse, Ive had my neighbour come down screaming at me because it was waking her up everytime I moved the car. It takes a good 2 minutes before it quietens down.  Im yet to diagnose where its coming from but im fairly sure its coming from the alternator aswell. My question isnt about how to fix it but rather where can you get a new alternator for an rb25 neo??? Ive searched everywhere but I havent been able to find a direct fit oem type replacement thats not genuine. All the automotive stores sell an oex one - BXA035 - which I picked up for cheap through a friend with staff discount , got it home only to find the connector is completelty different.... As far as im aware bxa035 is for rb20/30's and after a bit of figuring out the bxa035 has an ev14 type connector, which is tiny compared to the rb25 connector. I actually had an ev14 connector lying around which I was considering just replacing the bigger plug with to get the alternator working but the bxa035 is rated for 70amp vs the rb25 alternators are 90amp ( or so ive been told ? ) That paired along with the fact im about to install an amp + sub in the back and I have the stock sized small battery Im not sure itll do the job unless anyone has another opinion?  I know and have seen all the websites selling the ls1 alternator conversion kit but I am not going down that route, nor do I have the money to. Hopefully I can figure out how to get 2 brand new alternators for both cars. I would buy second hand which there seems to be many of but considering how common this seems to be im sure If I installed a second hand one it would start squealing in no time  Or even better if anyone knows how to fix the issue directly with the alternator itself... Any input appreciated Thank you     Link for bxa035 connector picture
    • As above, replace as many as you can afford. If anything, due to old age.
    • Can confirm previous shop that built my motor had no fking clue about oil control and caused my motor to shit itself after two track days. Current shop, Birrong Automotive, has managed to build me a motor, not to mention, has also let me tune it myself and it has yet to blow up after 7 track days. Great oiling success, yashimash.
