EF Falcon takeoff

EF Falcon Revs

Maybe its just me but I reckon it sort of does high up in the revs.

They do share the same engine layout afterall. :P

I think its a pretty nice car being 12 years old and nearly stock except for the exhaust system. (I know the owner)

lol sound like youve got a bomb in your engine bay :P tick tick tick tick... sure its not a commodore? lol their v6s love to tick

Hahah yeah I think the lifters really need to be replaced!

I think its just wear and tear over time, not to mention excessive stress on the motor from floggin it all the time. :D

A bit like a WRX, Skylines are unique in all aspects... after like 5000 RPM's - the Skyline roars like a Godzilla - nothing else can come close.

well i dont know about that, im sure sure mr 599 GTB might have to say something about that....

hehe no but i know where your comming from, the induction noise and the sound of an Rb through a good exhuast sounds IMO the closest thing to a jet from the outside.

at a motorkana in town there was a natro r33, and it sounded heaps like a falcon.

at low rpm a magna with a sports exhaust and cannon sounds a bit like a skyline.

all the natro skylines i've heard sound like aussie fords, but none of the turbos.

      Mistakes were made, my R34 Story

      (it is a brand new ported mellings pump) I suspect the lack of pressure is due to the leak. It was *not* that low in other logs of oil pressure in the past. It wasn't that hot either, but not far off.

      Would a Mellings oil pump be a viable option  From my time with a LS, and talking to tuners and LS specialists, the "weak" OEM oil pump is one of the first things they recommend to swap out if I was going to give the engine any high RPM I opted for a Mellings high volume, with the high pressure springs and I never had a issue with it Cost wise they are not expensive in the scheme of things

      My new to me M35 Stagea wagon

      By davemoto63 · Posted

      Just bought a 2002 Stagea 250tRS VR-X Four AERO VQ25DET and spent the last two weekends cleaning and detailing it.. still have to do the wheels and the engine bay but the rest of it came up nice. Imported 2011 to S.A. and I'm the third owner since it was imported. I met the guy who brought it over, he went to Japan and picked out the car, bought it and ordered the wheels. He also gave me a list of stuff he did to the car with receipts. Coil overs (I have the original springs), 3" exhaust from the dump pipe back no cat, Custom dump pipe,(I have the original exhaust), Plenum spacer, 18" custom Work XSA wheels (need restoring, I've made a start..), Shift kit put through the 5 speed tiptronic auto, TV and menus/screens changed to english, Australian DTV tuner installed in rear. I've just had four new discs and new pads as well as all the fluids including the brake fluid replaced. I have all the receipts for the last 15 years and the import papers in a nice folder. Car looks great, goes like hell but fuel economy is not a thing lol.. pics next..

      Steps to DIY sanding car back ready for respray....

      By silviaz · Posted

      I ended up in this rut again lol, and used a shit ton of filler. One thing I can't understand is, even after using a big long block and going in long X pattern strokes, I always end up at bare metal again with no filler, and my repair started at one end of the door and now I've chased my tail to almost the other end of the door. I was thinking of hitting the panel with a hammer where it might be a high spot and making everything low then filling it, I did this on a small section on my other door by mistake and I think I fixed it lol. Is this a bad idea? The other thing is with guidecoat, whether it's the powder or spray, after I sand all the guide coat off, it doesn't reveal anything for me in terms of high spots and low spots and makes it especially hard when it's bare metal (at least in powdered form), am I doing something wrong here, or likely a high spot I keep going over and creating valleys? Lastly, stupid question but, is it possible that after sanding if I only sand over the filler area where I know to be a dent that it's impossible for me to dig into that dent? Unless there are other problems which I missed.
