noo not another skyline.. :P

hope noone was injured..

Ditto that.

But if he was driving badly enough to smash it like that, he didn't deserve the car anyway.

If he was unlucky, well, that happens, and I hope he can get it repaired.

The biggest thing that ticks me off is when some kids get a beautiful skyline or WRX from mummy and Daddy for their 18th, and they don't know how to drive it, treat it like shit and wrap it around a pole. Usually, they walk away, while a bystander or passenger is injured. It shits me to tears.

Personally, I wish there was a class of 'sports' licenses that were required to drive turbo or high powered cars. Although that would have to be regulated by the government, so probably a complete cock up anyway.

The sad part is, you see a smash like that, and a lot of people blame the car. "Too much power.." "Those imports are dangerous..." "Mavis, did you see that car? It must have been doing a hundred miles an hour, these kids today have no respect for anyone, in my day.. blah blah"

If only we could ban bad drivers. It's not an age thing, idiots come in all ages. It's not an experiance thing, people with 10 years of on road experiance can still be knobs. It's just that some people have neither the physcal ability or the mental capacity to drive a performance car in a manner that is safe for them and the people around them. Maybe getting CAMS involved would help. Where's little Johnyy's email address....

Ah screw it. Vote ME! Premier Koz, I'll remove the Hoon laws, Drop all import Tax on Jap parts and cars (If I become PM) and set up legal dragways all across the state.

.... I think I just convinced myself to become a politician.... :D

GTSTs in the rain with not so good tyres and some good power = potential for bad news...u need to be careful and drive safely. We all learn...i have done that before and u sure learn the the rain and a GTST is not to be messed with.

      R32 GTST - 600KW+ RB28/CD009 Build

      By TurboTapin · Posted

      Driveline vibration is resolved. I ended up loosening all my engine mount and trans mount bolts, giving it a good shake then retightening everything and it's gone... Let's just say I was surprised that fixed it.  I've been happily driving it around again but unfortunately put zero time into my direct port/constant pressure WMI setup. I'm on vacation next week, so I'll try and finalize it then.  On a different note, I spent all week fuel/ignition mapping 2x 216L V16 engines. Turbo's were burning glycol and we swapped them out for larger units. We also had planned emissions testing on site, so I figured I'd be there the same week to use their instrumentation and massage any emissions issues out if needed. This was a first for me. Fuel management is similar in certain ways to automotive (i.e air density as load variable) but very different in others. It's all PLC based and AFR's are controlled by air and not fuel. They use a control valve between the turbo and air manifold to control pressure which in turn controls AFR's. Due to this, target AFR tables supplied by the OEM are in pressures and not mass which really through me off. They use air pressure vs fuel pressure tables. I also relied on an O2 concentration sensor the emissions team had in the exhaust. Ignition timing was also all over the place and we were losing a fair bit of power. They're now happily sitting at 16-40BTDC depending on load. We were making about 1600kw at 900rpm at 90% load. Engines were running a lot smoother as well.

      Oil pan for RB25DET NEO Stagea "version"

      By Duncan · Posted

      meh, it was a good video, clear about the issue and how he dealt with it. A bit heavy on the RTV and very brave to put an RB in anything without rebuilding it first, but otherwise I thought it was good Dose, I'm not sure that having the pickup forward is a big issue; yes of course the oil could shift under brakes but the sump should never be empty enough for that to be a problem (unless you also have a higher volume oil pump, and that oil can't return from the head to the sump quickly enough)

      I'd love a Haltech ECU, and Haltech 10 dash. Was having a chat with Rob and Andy @ Haltech when Rob put one in his MR2. First one I'm kind of interested in too, as you can dim it RIGHT down. Andy was saying bright dashes is one of his peeves too!
