' date='3 Oct 2006, 09:54 PM' post='2550777']wow! people are quick to jump on the attack. i bet if all the comments from people who have gone above the speed limit or have done something stupid in their cars were deleted, this thread would be pretty empty!

The difference is where and when you choose to do it.

In the Eastern Suburbs of Sydney, in the middle of the day, at 2.5x the speed limit is not exactly the same as someone doing the same speed on a deserted motorway late at night, or out in the middle of nowhere at 2AM.

And I've driven on RT215's (which, thanks to the resting position of the car, I can easily identify as the tyres). They might be semi slick but they're not an R compound tyre. In the dry, they require almost no warmup time. Especially not with the ambient temperature yesterday.

Assuming the driver warmed the engine up first before his foray into the other side of a license suspension, those tyres should have been pretty much up to temp. So "cold semis" is no excuse.

And if he hadn't warmed the car up, I don't think the prospective buyers would be too impressed with some guy revving the guts out of a turbo motor before oil and water gets into operating range. If he treats it like that in front of a buyer, how does he treat it when he's alone?

franks

how can you honestly quantify this? what makes a good and bad driver?

heres an interesting article for you, just from doing a quick search on google

http://blogs.drive.com.au/2006/07/are_aust...worlds_wor.html

blah blah blah what a load of crap. You are asian and you can't drive.

:laugh:

I am old enough to drive i have owned my car for 3 years. sure i have sped and done stupid things, but when a passenger gets into my car i make sure that im 100% focused!!!! yes it was a test drive. Besides my brothers mates told the moron to slow down and not to kill them! so he was warned. And as for singling out nationalities they are one of the worst drivers around as well as indians, havent you ever experienced their bad driving!!! look there are the occasional one or two that can actually drive. I know how bad they are they have nearly caused me to have an accident on many occasions as they dont check the roads and who is on them... i just know from previous experience how bad they are i know that the other nationalities are far better drivers! If you are trying to call me racist im not. i have many friends of various nationalities and they are wonderful people... as for learning a lesson: im sure this will not escape from anybodys memory anytime soon!!!!! :laugh:

i hope you die tomorrow.

Oh well, so much for me getting another GTR... When i sell mine.... BMW Convertible HERE I COME!!!!
Well after being in an accident like that, you don't really wanna get back into a high-powered car the next day. If you were in my position ... (almost getting your head crushed by a brick wall and from the roof just missing our heads thank god for the seats) you might just know why i want one... coz its just a genuine cruising car plus summer is coming up and it will be less than the $4,500 insurance i pay for my GTR now and much better on fuel.

After being in a car that rolled, you want a car without a roof? :laugh:

Ive just read through this whole thread.. There are two ways people look at this thread..

1) ZOMG, YOU IDIOT, HOW COULD YOU? LUCKY BASTARD, I CANT BELIEVE YOU!! RAWRRRRRR!

And my type..

2) Thank god no one was hurt.

In the end, no lives were lost, and everyone walked away basically fine.. Thank the son of rajab for that..

    • Intake manifold is not a part of the issue. The turbo bolts to the exhaust manifold. That is easy. But close your eyes and picture the physical situation. That is a T3 flange on the manifold and a T3 flange on the turbo. As long as any new turbo has a T3 flange on the exhaust housing, that exhaust housing will bolt to the exhaust manifold. This places the exhaust housing in the same place as the stock one. But now move your mental attention a little further forward. The location of the compressor housing is set by the length of the turbo's core. The stock turbo had a long core. Let's say that it is..... 100mm long. So that would place the compressor housing 100mm forward of the exhaust housing. But a highflow, might well have a centre core that is shorter. Let's say that it is only 70mm long. Now the compressor housing will be 30mm further back in the engine bay than the stock one. This DOES move the turbo's compressor outlet backwards. It also moves the compressor's inlet backwards. You will very likely have to do some work to both the inlet and outlet piping to make everything connect again. I am not say this to make it out to be a bigger deal than it is. I am just pointing out that "bolt on" is sometimes not quite bolt on. The highflow from GCG that Murray linked above (https://gcg.com.au/turbo-charger-upgrade-skyline-gtst-2iu-xtrgts-s1.html ) uses a core that is the same length as the stock core, and so does not require this extra work. It will look very much like the stock turbo. No-one uses GTR turbos of any flavour (stock, or aftermarket) in a single turbo application on RB20/25. It's not a thing. Yes, people have been putting on GT3076, GTX3076 (and bigger and smaller versions of those) and G30s (of various sizes) onto RB20/25 since forever. But these are not "bolt on". Everything except the 4 bolts to the exhaust manifold change with these. And genuine Garretts are expensive. Non-gen, like Pulsar, etc, are cheaper, variously as good or nearly as good. But still not bolt on. No-one in the right mind would pay for an HKS turbo. Not in this modern day and age. Well, yes, the GCG highflow. You could ask HG what he can do to make the compressor housing sit in the original location. There are surely others doing highflows around the world. And some of the eBay/Temu ones (as reported by Dose) work and don't die. Bit of a lottery though. I would send your turbo to GCG (here in Oz) to be highflowed if you want a trivial no-extra-work option. But seriously, the work required to change inlet and outlet piping is not that hard. That's a boost control problem, not a turbo problem.
    • Thank you all for the replys 🙂 I know that intake would be different but that is one pipe at it is not that hard to get(custom one). I meant mainly bolt to the stock manifold and the turbo elbow. I looked and many sites/forums but they are just "old" with some old HKS turbos from GT-R i guess? What about some Garrets?  Or any other turbo? Is there even a turbo which i can just bolt on? 😄 And yeah i know about that new HKS but that is like 2000k USD without taxes/shipping in here   Iam getting a touch up tune but my "problem" is that on the "not" hot day iam getting peaks around 0,9 bar...and when it was around 15 Celsious i saw peak around 1 bar which is just too much for stock turbo. And of course turbo is old and i like to get some new one for a piece of mind 🙂 
    • I'm working on the assumption that our friend Jasmine here is a Russian (or, possibly Ukrainian) spammer/spambot, based purely on the number of such that I have been having to neuter in the last few weeks. IP address for the OP above was in WA. But that could have been via VPN. Posting at quarter to 4 in the morning is a good sign of being from somewhere in Europe. The last Jasmine that I kicked in the cooch was IP addressed in Ukraine. Even that could have been via VPN, and the bitchbot could have been from Russia, Serbia, China or anywhere. Regardless, was a spambot, so I killed it with fire. The fact that our new friend Jasmine here did not respond in any way to my tart query strongly suggests to me that this OP was just the establishment phase of a user able to be activated for spamming in a week, or 3 or 10.
    • The stock manifold is "mostly" divided. The divider actually has a notch cut out of it where it would meet the divider on a twin scroll housing. I have no idea why. But whatever the reason, it would cause some cross talk when used with a twin scroll housing. People do put twin scroll housings onto that manifold. But I'm of the opinion that proper twin scroll internal gating is...not really possible at this scale. You'd be throwing good effort (ie $$) after bad, when you really should be doing something else. Notwithstanding that.... I am not sure what the idea that you are floating has to do with the difference in comp cover position caused by the highflow using a shorter length core than the stock Hitachi one. Can you clarify what you meant?
