Haha I can relate. I told my neighbours to go f**k herself cuz she thought I was speeding in out court (loud exhaust) was actually the neighbours mum. He is a cop. Comes to my door to talk to me and whilst he was talking told him to get off my f**king property and slammed the door in his face :D

Wow great job at being civil. Perhaps if you were friendly and explained the reasoning for why she might have thought you were speeding when you weren't might have gotten you somewhere.

If you talk to a cop like that then he will go out of his way to mess with you.

And if they do that they are not behaving like a Police Officer should be and they get in trouble like an unfortunate Constable up my way :yes:

when you know the servo guy's name and he notices if you don't show for a week :D

I work in a servo and this happens all the time. I have plenty of regulars I see either daily or a few times a week. But none of them are skylines!

Seriously, I see Skylines drive past all the time, and none of you come visit me :P

-you know that downforce actually helps

-you spending ages thinking/searching for ridiculously sized rims (18x14s)

-you avoid cops at all cost (well maybe that's a victorian thing)

-you plan trips are where BP station are.

-you plan ridiculous modifications to the car, research parts that you ll never buy or be able to afford.

You know you drive a skyline when:

-you have developed a highly sensitive "skyline sense" that tingles the back of your neck and makes you feel paranoid whenever you are within a few hundred meters of police presence and/or camera's, far before any of your mates even realise there are cops to their amazement

-Your car has a strange power which effects the minds of a small portion of australias population. Causing them to momentarily slip into a rage of swearing and making obscene gestures at your car, whilst you drive at 5kph under the limit. Otherwise friendly looking old ladies seem to be the most susceptible to this mysterious power.

-parking your car near a group of 30-40yr old blokes that are standing around chatting, has the uncanny effect of steering their conversation in the direction of bathurst in the early 90's.

Both already said:

You know you drive a Skyline when you see another Skyline on the road and feel compelled to tell everyone else within earshot.

You drive your $30,000 350Z as a daily because you don't want to wreck your $8000 R32 GTST

"..you drive it slowly on the road just to admire your ride on the reflection of the glassy-buildings, and you tell yourself "Damn..that's hot!" lol"

Guilty!

when you see stove plate lights in the distance at night and go to catch up to see if it's a skyline, only to find out it's not a skyline lolz.

when you wash and chammy your car, and you inspect the paintwork meticulously for any chips, bugs and tar, then spend hours fixing, polishing.

when you have the local tow truck on speed dial!

when the local auto parts shops know you on a first name basis.

when you just have to have the skyline under cover when parked.

when your suspension is harder than the V8 supercars(a twig feels like a branch when you run over it).

Guilty of all three. Expect the local parts shop knows me by face only. Not name yet. I keep changing where I buy stuff.

You know you drive a skyline when you rejoice at a local businesses bankruptcy because it means there's a parking spot available where you can see you car from your desk.

LOL - agreed. It takes me hours to get over even minor damage I've just noticed ;p

      Mistakes were made, my R34 Story

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      I myself AM TOTALLY UNPREPARED TO BELIEVE that the load is higher on the track than on the dyno. If it is not happening on the dyno, I cannot see it happening on the track. The difference you are seeing is because it is hot on the track, and I am pretty sure your tuner is not belting the crap out of it on teh dyno when it starts to get hot. The only way that being hot on the track can lead to real ping, that I can think of, is if you are getting more oil (from mist in the inlet tract, or going up past the oil control rings) reducing the effective octane rating of the fuel and causing ping that way. Yeah, nah. Look at this graph which I will helpfully show you zoomed back in. As an engineer, I look at the difference in viscocity at (in your case, 125°C) and say "they're all the same number". Even though those lines are not completely collapsed down onto each other, the oil grades you are talking about (40, 50 and 60) are teh top three lines (150, 220 and 320) and as far as I am concerned, there is not enough difference between them at that temperature to be meaningful. The viscosity of 60 at 125°C is teh same as 40 at 100°C. You should not operate it under high load at high temperature. That is purely because the only way they can achieve their emissions numbers is with thin-arse oil in it, so they have to tell you to put thin oil in it for the street. They know that no-one can drive the car & engine hard enough on the street to reach the operating regime that demands the actual correct oil that the engine needs on the track. And so they tell you to put that oil in for the track. Find a way to get more air into it, or, more likely, out of it. Or add a water spray for when it's hot. Or something.   As to the leak --- a small leak that cannot cause near catastrophic volume loss in a few seconds cannot cause a low pressure condition in the engine. If the leak is large enough to drop oil pressure, then you will only get one or two shots at it before the sump is drained.

      Help! Leak coming under transmission

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      So..... it's going to be a heater hose or other coolant hose at the rear of the head/plenum. Or it's going to be one of the welch plugs on the back of the motor, which is a motor out thing to fix.

      The oil pressure sensor for logging, does it happen to be the one that was slowly breaking out of the oil block? If it is,I would be ignoring your logs. You had a leak at the sensor which would mean it can't read accurately. It's a small hole at the sensor, and you had a small hole just before it, meaning you could have lost significant pressure reading.   As for brakes, if it's just fluid getting old, you won't necessarily end up with air sitting in the line. Bleed a shit tonne of fluid through so you effectively replace it and go again. Oh and, pay close attention to the pressure gauge while on track!

      I don't know it is due to that. It could just be due to load on track being more than a dyno. But it would be nice to rule it out. We're talking a fraction of a second of pulling ~1 degree of timing. So it's not a lot, but I'd rather it be 0... Thicker oil isn't really a "bandaid" if it's oil that is going to run at 125C, is it? It will be thicker at 100 and thus at 125, where the 40 weight may not be as thick as one may like for that use. I already have a big pump that has been ported. They (They in this instance being the guy that built my heads) port them so they flow more at lower RPM but have a bypass spring that I believe is ~70psi. I have seen 70psi of oil pressure up top in the past, before I knew I had this leak. I have a 25 row oil cooler that takes up all the space in the driver side guard. It is interesting that GM themselves recommend 0-30 oil for their Vette applications. Unless you take it to the track where the official word is to put 20-50w oil in there, then take that back out after your track day is done and return to 0-30.

      Nice, looks great. Nice work getting the factory parts also. Never know when you'll need them.
