hahaha

honestly why sell an R33 turbo to get a NA lancer if you're a performance car enthusiast?? listen to us all on SAU.. we all deal with the cops who hate modified cars. its something you deal with for the love of driving...

so are you a skyline or car enthusiast?

did you even have a choice in the matter or did you dad sell the R33 and buy this for you?

the R33 wasn't yours was it?

God you been on my back all the time havent you, once u reach my old cars stage of mods than you can talk

I was driving around in a manual Lancer in Syd, and just gave back a hire Getz.. Any manual 4cyl is loads of fun on the street. You can rev them hard and your not doing anything dangerous...good fun. An auto means its simply going to be a nice quiet car to A to B in....which means you will be retired whilst im scooping up dog shit from driveways because cars have left me broke :)

Lol, i always use the trip tronic, but yeah the auto goes with the comfort.

:) auto n/a lancer :O

if you really wanted a lancer, you should have got a evo6 etc

I wanted a brand new car.

I hear you going to a cheaper to run car but I would at least have gone for a manual. Not having a gear stick was what I hated most about a non powerful car.

Nice looking car anyway. :)

Thanks man, but yeah as i said b4 just bout the comfort :D

piccies no workie :(

I think they do :)

your move makes a lot of economic and practical sense. after a few more years of thrashing around in my skyline i plan to get a similar car

Thank you!!! Someone understands!!!! :sorcerer:

welcome to MIVEC yo...I've had it for a few years in 6A12 engine....new rims man at least..and some neons :)

Yeah rims are a must! lol. But i will have to pass on the Neons lol

lol kriz... sif not get a sik arse VL on gas and put VZ interior in it if u wanted new...

:)

interesting choice... probably would have opted for an S15 at that price range and being pretty newish.

So whats going to happen once ur off your Ps? Apparently those Hyundais are getting pretty "sporty"

:)

From what I remember Kris is a uni student with no job... keeping a Skyline with no job is um dumb.

Nice car man, enjoy!

well obvious it isnt much of an issue cause i dont know many people without jobs that can keep any car... let alone buy a brand new one.

God you been on my back all the time havent you, once u reach my old cars stage of mods than you can talk

RB20 powah will never make as much as the 33 did lol

From what I remember Kris is a uni student with no job... keeping a Skyline with no job is um dumb.

:P a fine example of one of sau's finest with no idea.

your move makes a lot of economic and practical sense. after a few more years of thrashing around in my skyline i plan to get a similar car

Yeah,... what he said, like when I'm 58 :(

its very sensible but aren't you afraid your going to get bored pretty quickly and just end up back in something quick?

...I am bored just by the thought of it...

but then again I am the king of spending money on unnecessary frivolity so my opinion is pretty worthless as far as financial decisions are concerned!

    • Even more fun, leave all the ADAS stuff plugged in, but in different locations, hopefully avoid any codes!   And honestly, all these new cars with their weird electronics. Pull all the electronics out Duncan, and just shove an aftermarket ECU and if needed a trans controller in, along with a PDM. Make it run basic but race car styled!
    • To follow up a question from earlier too since I had the front bar off again (fking!) This is what is between the bumper and the drivers side wheel And this is the navigator side, only one thing but its a biggy! So basically....no putting coolers in the wheel arches without a lot of moving other stuff. Assuming I move to properly race prepping this car I'll take that job on and see how the computers respond to removing a whole bunch of ADAS modules
    • So I prepped the car for another track day on Wednesday (will be interesting to see coolant temps post flushing out and the larger reservoir, with a forecast of 3-14 being 20o cooler than last time I took it out). Couple of things to mention; since I am just driving the car and not taking a support vehicle, I took the rear seats out and just loaded the back up Team Trackday style. Look at all that space! To cover off removing the rear seat....it is weird (note the hybrid is probably different because it wouldn't have folding rear seats) Basically, you remove the lower seat base, very similar to a r series but it is a clip that pulls forward to release the base rather than it being bolted down. Easy Then, you need to remove the side section of the rear seat on each side. There is a 14mm head nut at the bottom of the side piece, the it slides upwards off a hook at the top to release; you also need to unhook the seatbelt from the loop at the top. Then the centre piece is weird. You need to release/fold the seats forward with the tab in the boot on each side From there, there are 2,x12mm headed bolts holding the rear of each seat to the folding bracket, under the trim between the rear seat and the boot (4x christmas tree clips there, they suck). The seat is out but you can see where the bolts attach to the bracket
    • As discussed in the previous post, the bushes in the 110 needed replacing. I took this opportunity to replace the castor bushes, the front lower control arm, lower the car and get the alignment dialled in with new tyres. I took it down to Alignment Motorsports on the GC to get this work done and also get more out of the Shockworks as I felt like I wasn't getting the full use out of them.  To cut a very long story short, it ended up being the case the passenger side castor arm wouldn't accept the brand new bush as the sleeve had worn badly enough to the point you could push the new bush in by hand and completely through. Trying a pair of TRD bushes didn't fix the issue either (I had originally gone with Hardrace bushes). We needed to urgently source another castor arm, and thankfully this was sourced and the guys at the shop worked on my car until 7pm on a Saturday to get everything done. The car rides a lot nicer now with the suspension dialled in properly. Lowered the car a little as well to suit the lower profile front tyres, and just bring the car down generally. Eternally thankful for the guys down at the shop to get the car sorted, we both pulled big favours from our contacts to get it done on the Saturday.  Also plugged in the new Stedi foglights into the S15, and even from a quick test in the garage I'm keen to see how they look out on the road. I had some concerns about the length of the LED body and whether it'd fit in the foglight housing but it's fine.  I've got a small window coming up next month where I'll likely get a little paint work done on the 110 to remove the rear wing, add a boot wing and roof wing, get the side skirt fixed up and colour match the little panel on the tail lights so that I can install some badges that I've kept in storage. I'm also tempted to put in a new pair of headlights on the 110.  Until then, here's some more pictures from Easter this year. 
    • I would put a fuel pressure gauge between the filter and the fuel rail, see if it's maintaining good fuel pressure at idle going up to the point when it stalls. Do you see any strange behavior in commanded fuel leading up to the point when it stalls? You might have to start going through the service manual and doing a long list of sensor tests if it's not the fuel system for whatever reason.
