You know your a skyline driver when...

You drive your $17,000 skyline everyday and everyweekend. And you $30,000+ corvette you have as a weekend care hasnt seen the road in months!

GO THE LINE!!!! $17,000 was a good cheap price.. i couldent get one for under 20,000 with good km's :happy:

when you drive your bucket of rust gemini to work so that your freshly polished skyline doesn't get dust on it.

when your dad offers to let you drive his porsche, you say you don't want to downgrade and take your skyline

You know you drive a Skyline when pedestrian couples walk past you at a red light and they both check your car out. And you pretend you don't notice but secretly you love it.

You know you drive a Skyline when you wait around till it's warm in the morning, and till it cools when you get home, wasting time and petrol because you worry about hurting the RB.

You know you drive a Skyline when you're doing 60km/h in a 60 zone but constantly checking your mirrors for cops.

You know you drive a Skyline when you make a list of "to do's" and "mods" and leave it on your desk.

You know you drive a Skyline when you park, step out, and take a pic with your phone and people are watching you and wondering.

You know you drive a Skyline when you drive something else and realise how good your 'line is.

You know you drive a Skyline when you read this thread and laugh cause 99% of the posts you can relate to.

You have a several page exel spread sheet of "to do mods" with all the prices, part numbers, suppliers etc with totals down the bottom of each section - and it adds up to a lot more than the purchase price.

Guilty as charged your honour

lol and again your judgeship

When you spend 10 minutes explaining to your non-line mate about your desperate need for more negative camber and you get -> :D

You know you drive a skyline when you get out the car to have a shag with the chick ya just picked up cos you know it just to small in the car and you know ya gona hit ya head on the back window if ya try

    • I'm back from the dyno - again! I went looking for someone who knew LS's and had a roller dyno, to see how it shaped up compared to everything else and confirm the powerband really is peaking where Mr Mamo says it should. TLDR: The dyno result I got this time definitely had the shape of how it feels on the road and finally 'makes sense'. Also we had a bit more time to play with timing on the dyno, it turns out the common practice in LS is to lower the timing around peak torque and restore it to max after. So given a car was on the dyno and mostly dialled in already, it was time for tweaking. Luis at APS is definitely knowledgable when it came to this and had overlays ready to go and was happy to share. If you map out your cylinder airmass you start seeing graphs that look a LOT like the engine's torque curve. The good thing also is if you map out your timing curve when you're avoiding knock... this curve very much looks like the inverse of the airmass curve. The result? Well it's another 10.7kw/14hp kw from where I drove it in at. Pretty much everywhere, too. As to how much this car actually makes in Hub Dyno numbers, American Dyno numbers, or Mainline dyno numbers, I say I don't know and it's gone up ~25kw since I started tinkering lol. It IS interesting how the shorter ratio gears I have aren't scaled right on this dyno - 6840RPM is 199KMH, not 175KMH. I have also seen other printouts here with cars with less mods at much higher "kmh" for their RPM due Commodores having 3.45's or longer (!) rear diff ratios maxing out 4th gear which is the 1:1 gear on the T56. Does this matter? No, not really. The real answer is go to the strip and see what it traps, but: I guess I should have gone last Sunday...
    • 310mm rotors will be avilable from Australia, Japan, and probably a few other places. Nothing for the front can be put on the back.
    • The filter only filters down to a specific size. Add to that, the filter is AFTER the pump. So it means everything starts breaking your pump even if its being filtered out.
    • Just like in being 14mm too small (296mm) makes it not fit, being 14mm too big (324mm) it also won't fit. You want to find the correct rotor.
    • @GTSBoy Ok so that was the shops problem...they showed R33 rotors on R34 page and i did not know 296 do not fit(and are for R33) Yes i bought "kit" with rotors and pads. Pads are ok(i have GTT calipers front and rear). They have some 324mm but no 310mm. So i dont know if they would fit. I have 17inch LMGT4s So another question. Can i fit those in the rear or they are just "too" big for that?
