How would you rate your driving ability?

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

hahahaha....

so you're in the Daewoo cup? coolies...

1:11 is the current track or the previous one?

Good time though. :uh-huh:

duncan, 1.11 is very good around wakefield! i am soo hanging to get the skyline out there. anyways, i'm with merli on most points here and that is the rating system is still a little stuffed.

i dont think that going through the nasho or old pac qualifies you as a good driver, it certainly shows your an enthusiast though?

i personally think lap times are a better indication of a drivers ability, but in general, a car can be better suited to particular tracks and would thus prove to be overall more quicker.

i'd like to think that my driving abilities are good - i obey and respect the road rules and most importantly respect my fellow commuters :P

i need a car to find out.......... give me a car so i can find out, and offers? dr_GTR? gtr_jason??? any1 :D

and hey morgs...... how dare u steal my MAKE A WISH for forum purposes, i wana claim royalties...... so cum on boy, close them eyes and MAKE A WISH B1TCH! :P

thats an exceptional time with a stock sky considering typeR's can only get 1:12:xx around there. And i would go as far as saying wakie is more suited to the typeR's (DC2) stock.

Hmmm, on ManNGolf's ratings scale, I'd put myself at a 4, and one Merli's I'd rate myself as a 3...

I think there are plenty of things you can learn on the road that won't apply to a track dash, and vice-versa.

I can think of two drivers in particular, where I'd rather be next to the female who's been driving for around three years, rather than the male who's been driving for over ten (and has owned a torque-steer king MX-6 Turbo and a 180SX)... The female still has a few things to learn, but at least she keeps an eye on the road, and looks ahead and reads the traffic at least a few cars in front of her...

hahahah yeah im with pete on this duncan..U ARE A CHEATER :P we all know what tyres ure running :P .. saying that id rather have a stock car with ure tyres.. than a modded powerfull car.. :)..

i havnt done wakefield yet.. (dunno if ill ever get the chance too).. but best time at ec ended up a 1:58 on dunlop fm901's... i dont think i could pull any less than 1:55 on standard tyres though..

i would say a good driver is one who knows how his car handles in all situations.. knows the limits of his car.. and when driving in traffic is as aware of everything around as much as he can be.. if u are all of these then u are better than 99.99% of drivers out there..

hey me n my cousins always invent something new..weve actually done figure 9s..its not that hard u just need alot of space. were more holigans than drivers. like if we went to wakefield park instead of cutting corners and going in each corner the fastest way possible we would enter it sideways....and if u come out of the corner with no smoke ur the biggest f*cken disappointment ever!...and after he comes off the track:"BRO WERE DA SMOKE..I CAN'T SMELL IT..YOU F*CKEN IDIOT..CAN U SMELL DA SMOKE BRO?....F*CKEN IDIOT!"..."BUT I DID 1'17sec"..."I DONT CARE WHERE'S DA SMOKE BRO..UR A F*CKEN DISGRACE!"*smack across da head*

    • Drain it. I got official Matic D but you can get whatever is listed as Matic D compatible.
    • Thanks guys,  Yeah I should at least have them dynoed, at least then I know what I've got as a starting point.  The springs on these are hard as rocks. I vaguely remember Russman saying he was going to sell the shocks to me with the rocks fitted, as he was keeping the softer springs for his new setup.  I didn't click at the time but of course that was to let me know the shock/spring wouldn't be matched.  I also remember pricing up new springs around 2014-15, but, house, money etc. it never happened. So that was another reason to have them rebuilt. I have rebuilt the forks on many motorcycles so I think I could handle the seals on these easily enough, but getting the valving right would be a rabbit hole I cbf exploring.  Duncan, interesting to hear RP was tuning these back then. I might give them a call.  In the mean time I have been busy fitting sway bars. The Whiteline rear sway bar I purchased 15 years ago finally got fitted, along with the Whiteline front bar that showed up last week. Just waiting on new links for the front sway bar to finish that off.  And my spare set of advan AVS VS5's should be back from the powder coaters in a Pearl White finish sometime this week, with a set of Hankook RS4's lined up for fitting.  And then I just have all the suspension bushes to do. A comprehensive kit is on the way... Lots to do before the Ararat hill climb. Cheers guys 🍻   
    • Nice car! I’m glad folks in the US have gotten past the FnF and are buying real cool cars like the 260RS I was with a bunch of mates in Portland about a year ago and spotted a green Stagea (just a regular 2.5T AWD) parked about 2 blocks away and they were like “a what?” So I made a bet with them for a round of beers and said “ok one of you run down there and tell me if the steering wheel is on the correct side” 5 mins later the American comes trudging back up the hill and goes “he’s right guys. Ok what beer do you want?”
    • Should replace OR drop the tank, give it's good clean. Might be worth replacing that entire fuel level/pump/cradle thing with this: https://frenchysperformancegarage.com/products/fpg-s13-180sx-r32gtst-single-pump-hanger-kit-billet-hat-6-v3-fpg-089?gQT=2
