all i can say that when a magna has 200fwKw and 496nM it's hard to catch. Turst me i own a skyline and such a magna. The skyline has 187rwKw the Magna has 200fwKw and it will win an acceleration race, but handles like a bucket of shit. LOL.

Anyway just my two cents worth.

its a shame the skyline driver got away.....should have impounded it as well.

do you think either driver has ever been to a drag strip or race track? or are they too quick for that?

wow thats heaps! my friends magna had like 130fwkw last time it was on a dyno

it was me.

serious?

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.

All that but still no petrol for 20c per lt, that would be before you was born !!

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. :(

sorry got carried away lol edit done!

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...

yeh... i was just in wrong palce at teh wrong time.. it was just after the riots so i was asking for some sort of fine... driving a line and all...

he was a highway partrol officer filling in .. in just a normal cop car no radar.. so there fore he gets commision

so he took the oppurtunity to hand me max penalty and get some alot of commission!

All that but still no petrol for 20c per lt, that would be before you was born !!

Yeah probably.

I don't know where 20c/L came from. Maybe mistaken for 50c/L.

Grey matter not as solid as it used to be. :D

I can only remember petrol in the 70c range.

What? No... Really?

I remember seeing 74c and trying to make a 1/4 of a tank last an extra week cause I refused to pay such an absurd amount for petrol. 60c and I was cheering.

If I saw 98octane for 74c now I'd be dancing a little (well not really...) :D

Stop with the dancing Wil!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!111111

Yeah you're old before you're time Mr Blighter. I'm thinking we probably didn't even have Big Macs when petrol was 20c a litre. Now we're gonna pick on you until you really are old. :D:)

And Steveo, you're getting there. Thanks mate. BTW cops don't get commission. All traffic fines are paid into what they call "Consolidated Revenue" which means the polititians can do whatever they like with it as it's not earmarked for anything in particular.

Can anyone say 'pork barrels'?

Yeah that accident looks pretty bad but it wasn't from street racing and they say it might have been from just overtaking.

Man enzo's are crashing everywhere. I've seen a few videos of crashed enzos now.

Yeah you're old before you're time Mr Blighter. I'm thinking we probably didn't even have Big Macs when petrol was 20c a litre. Now we're gonna pick on you until you really are old. :P :

I think you will find when Ronald open the first retaurant in Sydney ( Yagoona) in December ( i think) 1971 petrol was still sold in gallons and it was well and trully lower than 20 cents per lt at around 50 cents a gallon!!

yep serious, she has been port and polish, RPW cams, shaved head, MSD ignition coil, Reground and oversized valves, Pacemaker extractors, E-Manage Pigyback ecu, 2.5" Red Back exhaust system, K&N panel filter, oversized throtel body, FPR and hi flow injectors, CAI, and a whole heap more. It was 198FwKw but whos counting anyway.

I actually took my Magna sports when I had one (hate to admit it...) to WSID and did a 15.6! (not much slower than my skyrine...)

wasnt that bad, much better than the equivalant falcadoors!

I still remember when the Magna ran a faster quarter mile than the old 308 / Windsor Falcodores, and the ad campaign they had.

And when I went on that OzMadaClub memorial cruise, I found out that there's an actual Magna car club, and people do them up. Wonders never cease.

at the wheels or the fly? r33s have 130-140kws @ the treads (unless both cars r modded)

how much would the rear half cut set me back? $5k? $10k? i wanna put that v12 in my 'line

Yeah I accidentally stumbled on a meet one night at a shopping centre near my place. There was 6 or 7 mangas all done up with their chrome and neons and similar such crap, with some Australian magna club stickers on the windows... I was sAfrican Americaned at because I was driving a skyrine.. haha.. :laugh:

    • OK, Step 3, if you need to remove the valve body, either to replace it, the TCM, or to do a more complete drain.  First, you need to disconnect the TCM input wires, they are about half way up the transmission on the drivers side. One plug and the wires are out of the way, but there is also a spring clip that stops the socket from sliding back into the transmission. On my car the spring clip was easy to get, but the socket was really stuck in the o-ring of the transmission housing and took some.....persuasion. You can see both the plug to remove (first) and the spring clip (second) in this pic Incidentally, right next to the plug, you can see where the casting has allowance for a dispstick/filler which Nissan decided not to provide. there is a cap held on with a 6mm head bolt that you can remove to overfill it (AMS recommend a 1.5l overfill). Final step before the big mess, remove the speed sensor that is clipped to the valve body at the rear of the box.  Then removal of the Valve Body. For this the USDM Q50 workshop manual has a critical diagram: There are a billion bolts visible. Almost all of them do not need to be removed, just the 14 shown on the diagram. Even so, I both removed one extra, and didn't check which length bolt came from which location (more on that later....). Again it is worth undoing the 4 corners first, but leaving them a couple of turns in to hold the unit up....gravity is not your friend here and trans oil will be going everywhere. Once the corners are loose but still in remove all the other 10 bolts, then hold the valve body up with 1 hand while removing the final 4. Then, everything just comes free easily, or like in my case you start swearing because that plug is stuck in the casing. Done, the valve body and TCM are out
    • OK, so if you are either going for the bigger fluid change or are changing the valve body which includes the Transmission Control Module (TCM), first you should have both a new gasket 31397-1XJ0A and a torque wrench that can work down to 8Nm (very low, probably a 1/4 drive one). You can probably get by without either, but I really didn't want to pull it all apart together due to a leak. First, you now need that big oil pan. The transmission pan is 450 long x 350 wide, and it will probably leak on all sides, so get ready for a mess. There are 24x 6mm headed bolts holding the pan on. I undid the 2 rear corners, then screwed those bolts back in a couple of turns to let the pan go low at that end, then removed all the middle bolts on each side. Then, undo the front corner bolts slowly while holding the pan up, and 80% of the fluid will head out the rear. From there, remove the remaining bolts and the pan is off. You can see it is still dripping oil absolutely everywhere...it dripped all night.... I got another couple of litres when I removed the pan, and then another few when I removed the valve body - all up another 4l on top of the 3 already dropped in step 1.
    • Yeh I think i'll message an old contact i had for ages that manages his own tyre shop now.. n tell him what i want n work with him before ordering..  Got this 17x9 +30 Driftteks on 245/45/17 PSR Drag Radials on the rear.. They fit well - for your reference in future - Rear guards  have been lipped in & minimal to non flaring of the rear Gaurds.    
    • If only it were that easy! I also needed to remove seats, shocks, brake calipers, send my car through a fence, and use measuring and ended up guessing because I didn't remove seats, shocks and brake calipers. It can be hard sometimes Can be a little more complex than 'just measure' if you want to truly measure the entire wheel through all of it's suspension travel. But if you aren't going for every last mm then yeah, you can check the space you currently have and guesstimate.
    • If you own a car, and it has wheels on it, and you know the offset of those wheels, and you have a measuring device, you have everything you need to work out if other wheels will fit.
