Hondas as a car are alright pieces of machinery

its just the Ricers that make us hate them!

much like Hyundai Excels here in central queensland I HATE THEM idiots put bodykits and decals and shopping lists and wheels and think their king sh*t, trying to race me in my GTR, as if...bloody excels

cops need to start a campaign on Ricers and the aussie versions, Bogans

:P ahh end rant

RellikZephyr

hondas are a good quality built engine. they know there shit.

and for mainly n/a cars the good engines go hard,

my mate has a EG civic sedan with H22a in it, it has run a 13 down the quarter before. now that would chew up a few skylines aroudn the place, plus with a few more mods, he should get into the 12's.

so like they say dont underestimate them just bcoz 99% of boyracers drive 1, rice them up with big chrome wheels,body kits and stereos.

the real honda guys own the ones with engine mods, stripped out interiors etc there not ricers they like to modify there cars just like most ppl on this forum.

0_o Lay of the honda's guys there sexy as hell.

175 KW of rawr Turbo charged Front wheel drive Honda Civic :P

This is the car my sister will bring to that 11th of Feb contest :)

This picture wasnt with the car finished :)

hmm.

well maybe i did give the red pulsar a run.. my business. just GTRs come out on top.. i had a 170+kwatw GTiR that would be mince compared to my GTR.. that was a 1200kg car and was launched offline at 5000rpm leaving 4 black squiggles.

and buying a 245k honda NSX doesnt appeal to me as a wise choice.

i want to upgrade to a S2000 though..

1. they are RWD

2. light

3. bloody powerful NA 2.0L

4. convertable

5. i want headlight washers!!!

the street style civic with 20' 225 rims and neaons and stickers and a muffler... ahaha still shit.

only thing im gonna mention that has kept up with my GTR. is a red FC3S a high mod 350z came close till i slotted in 2nd. . even a 06/07 STI with an exhast and what else couldnt get away.. but these wer done in a controled enviroment. without wet roads, other traffic and other variables that may contribute to the outcome.

race if u want but dnt endanger other people and public property..

i do enjoy giving the GTR squirts but i try to limit outcomes. and dont go ridding up ppls asses looking for a fight. tailgating is a NO NO.

and did anyone see that blue early 90s lancer pull its handbrake up every corner at underwood today? 12.30ish? WTF.. broad daylight too.

but these wer done in a controled enviroment. without wet roads, other traffic and other variables that may contribute to the outcome.
I'm going to assume this means you were at the track and/or on private property

Man I dont know about GTR invinceability. Ive lost plenty of races in mine, I lost to a silvia very recently in a straight line (tho he had to back right off round the corner, while I kept it up to speed).

All in controlled conditions of course.

what i think u meant to say is you hate riced up looking hondas with big exhusts, paint, wheels and no go, all show. they piss everybody off.

but we all arent angel's we all know that.

but also our cars arent invicible to other makes or models.

honda's toyotas etc doesnt matter, a car is a car, just depends how its been tuned at the end of the day.

it very well may still own you.

now if we were talking stock factory form then it would be a different story, u can say the gtr is a very good sports car package off the shelf, compared to alot of its competitiors.

How much money have then spent on that car though mate.

Stock for Stock a GTR will lunch almost anything and there a four wheel drive. Its only in the last 3 ~ 5 years they have been releasing cars with the kind of HP/KW that GTR's have STANDED and selling them for a crap load more then what you would have paid for a GTR. GTR WILL lunch anything in its own age period without thinking twice.

As long as you stay in the None exotic cars like The McLaren F1 or a Ferrari * Truth be known you probly would beat the Ferrari * But you see my point ? Yes your car is the best STANDED for its year model car around. So when you lose a race consider what they had to do to match the power of your car.

GTR's more then a car. They are a legend in there own right. How many other car's can you say held the racing world by storm like the GTR did? Not many at all.

You bought a legend in its own right. enjoy it for what it is, A real sports car.

A GTR is so far from a real sports car it isn't funny. It is based on a family car chassis and has computers thrown at it to make it work

well 1 out of 100 hondas are rice oriented. how many civics actualy have the B16A or a H22A conversion. yes great engines. HP wise but not torque wise.. but ull find MOST hondas being full sick paint and 20inch rims.. i blame 2f2f which screened yesterday.. street racing is cool kids..

GTR are great. old and still able to hold its own against exotics and other newer cars 4x the price.

ive taken down a 355 testa rosa in the GTR..

and amen to the words preached by MajorSick

and the STi was a new model with supposive big improvements in ride and accel. it sported a full 3"+ exhast and big wide rims.. to top it off it was lowered. so if anyone spends 3-4k on the exhast and ride heigh im sure she will get a few tweaks engine wise.. lets face it ur an idiot if u dont.

i managed to creep on him on straights in corners and more so corner entry.. out of corner the GTR gets tail happy. but this was a long while ago. and i hardly and i mean hardly never do anything in the GTR..

why do that when i have a GTT in the garage.. thats way cheaper to fix..

Ahhh. I fail to see the point of this comment. Thats if there even is any. Unless you could elaborate and explain how you figure an adapted sedan chassis is a compromise ?

and ive done better lap times than modified GTRs in a shitbox S13 with coilovers

at the end of the day, comparing cars is a waste of time.

It never ceases to amaze me that people who own their "Dream rides" can still get so upset about what everyone else is driving and how fast theyre driving it

    • Fark what are the changes of that snapping like that, clean. Nek minnit, custom radiator goes in, with built in oil cooler like those discontinued PWR ones from yesterdeacades ago
    • I thought I'd do a write up on an auto transmission fluid change for a the nissan 7 speed Automatic. At some stage the genius engineers decided that the fluid in the trans was "for the life of the transmission", (which seems kind of self supporting to me) and removed the dip stick and fill tube (funnily enough there is still a casting for it). Anyway, for this job you do need 2 specialist tools in addition to regular hand tools, jack and good chassis stands. You need a way to pump fluid up to the transmission; I got one of these but there are plenty of other options: https://www.ebay.com.au/itm/364584087070 Don't trust the generic listing though, it does not come with the required adapter for the Nissan 7 Speed. You need one of these, can't do the job without it: https://navarapart.com.au/product/genuine-nissan-patrol-y62-d23-np300-navara-re7-dipstick-fill-connector1 You need a heap of compatible transmission oil. Could be Nissan, could be anything else rated for Nissan Matic S. You need at least 10 litres, I had 15 to give it a better flush... Also, you need some biiig oil catch trays, at least one of these, or bigger if possible (volume was fine, size was very marginal): https://autobarn.com.au/ab/Autobarn-Category/Tools-%26-Garage/Specialty-Tools/Oil-Service/Garage-Tough-Oil-Drain-Pan-Black-16L---GT1068/p/TO03191 Finally, a measuring jug is very useful if your pump does not have volumes marked on it, I got a 6l one: https://www.repco.com.au/oils-fluids/fluid-accessories/measuring-jugs/penrite-measuring-jug-6l-pmj006/p/A5322648 Oh, and gloves.....this stuff is horrible (not as bad as diff oil, but getting there) ....First, jack up your car.....
    • So I mentioned the apprentice, @LachyK helped take the bonnet off. We just undid the nuts on the hinges and unclipped the gas struts, then pulled the bonnet back a little as the front was catching on the front bar.  I had a good look at everything today and have removed the rams, repaired/reset the hinges and bolted it back together like it never happened. I'll do a separate write up on the repair, and I also removed the poppers from the Fuga today too to save grief down the road.....as said above it is at least $5k to repair retail. I'm also happier about my ability to prepare a race car, and less happy about Nis-nault's engineering (I can hear @GTSBoy sAfrican Americaning) because the top hose of the radiator didn't slip off.......it snapped clean off. By practice I put the hose clamp hard up against the flare on a neck to make it least likely to ever move (thanks @Neil!). I guess that puts a little more pressure on the end of the pipe as it is further away from the rad, but still, that is pretty shit. I've put it back on for now as there was a fair bit of neck still there, but obviously there is no lip on the neck any more so I don't think I'll track it again until I have a new rad. Speaking of which....more research required. It looks like Koyo makes a standard size radiator in ally which I'll grab in the meantime, but I really want something thicker so might have to go custom in the medium term (ouch) Coolant still needs a refill and I have the pressure tester on it over night, but other than a wash down of the engine bay it seems alright. And @MBS206 noted something noisy on the front of the engine and I think I agree....time for a new accessory belt and tensioners I think.
    • our good friends at nismo make a diff for it, I have one (and a spare housing to put the centre in) on the way. https://www.nismo.co.jp/products/web_catalogue/lsd/mechanical_lsd_v37.html AMS also make a helical one, but I prefer mechanical for track use in 2wd (I do run a quaife in the front, but not rear of the R32)
    • What are we supposed to be seeing in the photo of the steering angle sensor? The outer housing doesn't turn, right? All the action is on the inside. The real test here is whether or not your car has had the steering put back together by a butcher. When the steering is centred (and we're not caring about the wheel too much here, we're talking about the front wheels, parallel, facing front) then you should have an absolutely even number of turns from centre to left lock and centre to right lock. If there is any difference at all then perhaps the thing has been put back together wrongly, either the steering wheel put on one spline (or more!) off, and the alignment bodged to straighteb the wheel, or the opposite where something silly was done underneath and the wheel put back on crooked to compensate. Nut there isn't actually much evidence that you have such a problem anyway. It is something you can easily measure and test for to find out though. My money is still on the HICAS CU not driving the PS solenoid with the proper PWM signal required to lighten the load at lower speed. If it were me, I would be putting either a multimeter or oscilloscope onto the solenoid terminals and taking it for a drive, looking for the voltage to change. The PWM signal is 0v, 12V, 0V, 12v with ...obviously...modulated pulse width. You should see that as an average voltage somewhere between 0V and 12V, and it should vary with speed. An handheld oscilloscope would be the better tool for this, because they are definitely good enough but there's no telling if any cheap shit multimeter that people have lying around are good enough. You can also directly interfere with the solenoid. If you wire up a little voltage divider with variable resistor on it, and hook the PS solenoid direct to 12V through that, you can manually adjust the voltage to the solenoid and you should be able to make it go ligheter and heavier. If you cannot, then the problem is either the solenoid itself dead, or your description of the steering being "tight" (which I have just been assuming you mean "heavy") could be that you have a mechanical problem in the steering and there is heaps of resistance to movement.
