The thing i wanna know is....

IF a Skyline driver was to street race...(which is a bad thing), Why would he/she bother racing...

(1) a Magna

(2) A P Plater.

Its a waste of effort. Think of it this way... Is the amount of Petrol (cash spent on the petrol) wasted on this pointless race worth the 'thrill'? You spent hard earned dollars on the petrol, and fuel prices aint getting any cheaper. The race is already over before it even started. Keep it on the track ppl. :)

Like you dont give it a splurt every now and then soul. We all do. :)

But your right? Magna? P Plater? Nothing but tools. Get those idiots wanting a go every day.

Im not saying that i dont engage in a bit of spirited driving now and then. :ninja:. Foot down up to 60km/h then

stay at the limit. Well, not really foot down. Just accelerate quicker than everyone else.

But the only time i go over 100km/h is on the m5/m7/motorways/freeways etc etc.

yep well take me for an example lost license for 1 year disqualified for street racing..

but my so called race was my mate in his old battered vl!!!

the cops watched me drive down a coldisack by mistake .. my mate following me just trying to get to maccas at 12 at night..

stopped at the end (industrial area) nothing around no street lights...

pulled up nex ta my mate .. and then i go ill go first..

he accellerated in his battered vl being a smart ass

so i booted it up to 60 km p /h in a 50 zone.. with cops watching.. me on wrong side of the road just overtaking him ...

the street was a dead end no lights no cars no people!

he called it street racing.

towed my car to enfield impound...

impounded it for 3 months

now i am 9 months in to my license loss i get it back feb 17th...

i since sold my last 33 which was impounded and have just bought a new one and am happy to b bak in da game!... lol

you dont understand how pissed off i was..

wrongly accused yet couldnt plead innocent cos no point i already have a bad driving record..

thats my story of the day! enjoy

So why have a 50km/hr zone then if it is not a road? Why were you driving on the wrong side of the road?

:ninja:

Why not take the car to a track or wsid if you want to "race"

i didnt say its not a road dude.. i was saying i got charged with street racing in a dead end and it was a 100 metres long with a radarless cop watching me... i took a wrong turn turned around stopped spoke to my mate for a bit then hit it past him in 1st to get ahead.

in an industrial back street no lights nothing around...

what type of race is 100 metres long ?

racing at 10km above speed limit?

no spectators!

no start / finish to the race..

just bullshit to be given a fine like that...

the cop made a big ass scene got 6 cops cars there ... Seargent Scott Willis ill never forget that 1 .. cnt wait till he pulls me up in feb... :-P

yeah steveo that shit - feel for ya

my mate got done the other night (did a burnout at a set of traffic lights) in a magna too - haha

the burnout was obviously not the right thing to do (but since it was just a megagna it wasn't that crazy)

the cop went of his head tho - blabla dangerous driving - blabla dont care if you kill yourself but what about the other motorists on the road bla bla (it was night time and we had noone next to us) - and being a fwd it was more controlled than when i drive my skyline safety in wet - lol - ah well!

anyways - more to the point - good to hear the skyline won! :ninja:

lol, actually in my experience of the last few months petrol prices have dropped from ~$1.50/l to $1.09/l.

Yeah but remember the days when prices were like 99c/L or even 50c/L or even 20c/L?

That was cheap fuel.

haha yer.. poo happens!

lol

i got done for that too ... did a u turn one night and went hmmmmmm yep! floored it ... and just kicked the ass out a lil bit.

it was hard to see though cos i got 15 percent tints now. lmao... took a wile for me to stop...

thing was though he only heard the burnout as he was still coming over a hill..

me stupidly said that i did do it... cos i thought he saw me...

all good ! feb 17th get it back.. then its grandma driving for me!

although i have to start my green ps agen.. and restricted to 1 psnger and non turbo!

but i got out of the non turbo part bahahaha no way would i ever be on a road without ma 33 T.

You must be old..

yeah grand old age of 26.

I also remember when a play on the arcade machines cost 20c

Big Macs were twice the size they are now and they cost less.

No such thing as green P's

Dad drank Fosters.

Houses were cheap to buy.

Cops where cops and where out to catch the the real bad guys. None of this revenue raising bull.

Bob Hawk for Prime Minister!

They were the good old days.

With regards to the the restrictions on P platers (limiting passengers). What is a mother of 3 thats on her red P's going to do when her husbands at work and she needs to take her kid to the doctor?

Or a young P plater living with his 2 elderly grandparents that needs to drive them to the hospital in an emergency? Ambulance? have you ever recieved a bill to have them come out and check you over? Last time it cost my GF $250 to have them come out and check her over cos she was attacked by a deranged irate customer. Community buses and taxis and hospital shuttle buses are slow.

I don't think its the answer. This just means that they are going to kill less ppl in the car if they get into a bad crash.

I can only remember petrol in the 70c range.

BTW Stevo you are right on the edge of what appropriate on here. Saying that you will throw a beer bottle at the head of a cop is actually something that could land you in court so obviously we don't condone it here.

Edit your post and have a think about everything you've written in this thread, as well what you might write after now.

If you don't take this friednly warning on board I'll give you a real one. :)

bad luck steveo_r33

especially in a dead st with no one around, man he must have had a bad day.

yeh they can be a$$holes at times..........

i had a D follow me for about 10min

punk pulled me ova

let me off with a warning cus he couldnt fine me as he aint a road cop

phewwww

but yehh no point in speeding on normal street roads, not worth the risk in all factors...

    • I'm looking for some real world experiences/feed back from anyone who has personally ran a EFR7670 with a 1.05 exhaust housing or a .83 I'm leaning towards the .83 because its a street car used mostly for spirited driving in the canyons roads. I"m not looking for big numbers on paper. I want a responsive powerband that will be very linear to 8000 rpm. I dont mind if power remains somewhat flat but dont want power to drop off on top. The turbo I've purchased is a 1.05, although the mounting flange T3 vs T4 and internal vs external waste gates are different on both housings, I not concern about swapping parts or making fabrication mods to get what I want. Based on some of the research I've done with chat gpt, the 1.05 housing seems to be the way to go with slightly more lag and future proofing for more mods but recommends .83 for best response/street car setup. AI doesn't have the same emotions as real people driving a GTR so I think you guys will be able to give me better feed back 😀   
    • Surely somebody has one in VIC. Have you asked at any shops?  Is this the yearly inspection or did you get a canary?
    • This is where I share pain with you, @Duncan. The move to change so many cooling system pieces to plastic is a killer! Plastic end tanks and a few plastic hose flanges on my car's fail after so little time.  Curious about the need for a bigger rad, is that just for long sessions in the summer or because the car generally needs more cooling?
    • So, that is it! It is a pretty expensive process with the ATF costing 50-100 per 5 litres, and a mechanic will probably charge plenty because they don't want to do it. Still, considering how dirty my fluid was at 120,000klm I think it would be worth doing more like every 80,000 to keep the trans happy, they are very expensive to replace. The job is not that hard if you have the specialist tools so you can save a bit of money and do it yourself!
    • OK, onto filling. So I don't really have any pics, but will describe the process as best I can. The USDM workshop manual also covers it from TM-285 onwards. First, make sure the drain plug (17mm) is snug. Not too tight yet because it is coming off again. Note it does have a copper washer that you could replace or anneal (heat up with a blow torch) to seal nicely. Remove the fill plug, which has an inhex (I think it was 6mm but didn't check). Then, screw in the fill fitting, making sure it has a suitable o-ring (mine came without but I think it is meant to be supplied). It is important that you only screw it in hand tight. I didn't get a good pic of it, but the fill plug leads to a tube about 70mm long inside the transmission. This sets the factory level for fluid in the trans (above the join line for the pan!) and will take about 3l to fill. You then need to connect your fluid pump to the fitting via a hose, and pump in whatever amount of fluid you removed (maybe 3 litres, in my case 7 litres). If you put in more than 3l, it will spill out when you remove the fitting, so do quickly and with a drain pan underneath. Once you have pumped in the required amount of clean ATF, you start the engine and run it for 3 minutes to let the fluid circulate. Don't run it longer and if possible check the fluid temp is under 40oC (Ecutek shows Auto Trans Fluid temp now, or you could use an infrared temp gun on the bottom of the pan). The manual stresses the bit about fluid temperature because it expands when hot an might result in an underfil. So from here, the factory manual says to do the "spill and fill" again, and I did. That is, put an oil pan under the drain plug and undo it with a 17mm spanner, then watch your expensive fluid fall back out again, you should get about 3 litres.  Then, put the drain plug back in, pump 3 litres back in through the fill plug with the fitting and pump, disconnect the fill fitting and replace the fill plug, start the car and run for another 3 minutes (making sure the temp is still under 40oC). The manual then asks for a 3rd "spill and fill" just like above. I also did that and so had put 13l in by now.  This time they want you to keep the engine running and run the transmission through R and D (I hope the wheels are still off the ground!) for a while, and allow the trans temp to get to 40oC, then engine off. Finally, back under the car and undo the fill plug to let the overfill drain out; it will stop running when fluid is at the top of the levelling tube. According to the factory, that is job done! Post that, I reconnected the fill fitting and pumped in an extra 0.5l. AMS says 1.5l overfill is safe, but I started with less to see how it goes, I will add another 1.0 litres later if I'm still not happy with the hot shifts.
