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*

    • I've never played with one, but I would expect that you are correct. That slot looks like it is intended to be used to unscrew the end, and the flats on the body would be better than grabbing it around the round bit with a pipe wrench. So, yeah, probably unscrews. You'll probably have to make a tool to drive in that slot.
    • A bit late but A disk S13P fit over stock R32 GTR brakes, usually A disk front, O disk rear works.
    • Or, the height of the release bearing is not correct for your combo. Start with the bleeding and checking the slave moves throughout its range when you press the pedal (2 person required), but it is possible for the height to be internally wrong too (box back off to measure.
    • Yes, there's quite a few things that can go wrong during a clutch install. Very unlikely. I have a similar clutch. They (ACS) make good gear. No, it is not normal. It is possible that you just need to bleed the clutch slave. But the new clutch will also have a more aggressive actuation force/pressure, and so your old slave cylinder might be a bit leaky or otherwise compromised, and not up to the extra force required. Or the master cylinder, same.
    • Hi...so a "development" here aswell The swap is "done" and car went "test drive" BUT it seems the clutch(maybe gearbox?) is a little bit sad? I bought this clutch kit https://justjap.com/products/xtreme-heavy-duty-organic-clutch-flywheel-kit-nissan-skyline-r31-r32-r33-push-type "Problem" is that the first gear is hard to put into and it seems that the clutch is not disengaged. It was not the problem with the old clutch...(or like sometime the first gear would not get as easy specialy when the fluid was cold) So? Can it be like...bad "install" or is the clutch wrong ((it should not have been) i done research to get the right one) Or is this "normal" with new clutch and needs to be break in?
