quote from Spooks link

"Two cars - a taxi and a purple Mitsubishi Lancer sports car - collided near the corner of Viewmount and Ferntree Gully roads in Wheeler's Hill about 9.30pm.

The driver of a third high-powered car was being questioned by police last night. "

3rd high powered car? meaning the taxi and the lancer were high powered? LOL

Another demonstration how the addition, or removal, of a comma can change the entire meaning of a sentence. :huh:

meaning?

"The driver of a third high-powered car was being questioned by police last night" has a different inference regarding the capabilities of the trio of vehicles compared to, "The driver of a third, high-powered, car was being questioned by police last night."

since when was a mitsubishi lancer a sports car?

Since the Evo 1 was released, Evos are Lancers and it doesnt mention model.

Had the article said, a Lancer GL sports car, I would also question it :mellow:

question re: thread title- where in australia do they hold 'legal' street drag comps?

zackly

illegal drag racing

No such thing...e-mail the Mcquarie dictionary and get the definition changed to what it is. The Macquarie is the resource used by all Australian media outlets to define. If we change the definition these "journalists" will stop trying to tie a stupidity to drag racing and, eventually, imports.

Definition

A race conducted on a 400m track, measured in both speed and time. Sanctioned by motorsport governing bodies, legal activity.

Not

A clusterfu(k conducted over no specific distance, the winner is determined by the ego of the knuckle head driving the vehicle and is too often conducted infront of citizens, resulting in damage to vehicle and/or knuckleheads. Illegal activity

back seat passenger is at home now resting

As far as I'm aware, the back seat passenger of the VL is still in hospital with a broken leg and other injuries. The driver is fine, however, the front passenger is badly injured, but will recover.

Also, it wasn't an R34 GTR, but an R33 GTS-T. The VL was not racing; the R33 was "showing off" by speeding up the street and got it all wrong T-boning the VL.

and rather deserved if the driver was being a f**kwit.

How could you say such a thing!! Did you not think about the GTR poor little GTR!!. How could you warrant this!!. The GTR did not deserve this!!

he couldve given it to meh!

unless there were two crashes involving 2 vls, then the guy that was in the back seat is at home i spoke with his mum about 2days ago.

Was it Danny from Custom Bodyworks?

I heard Danny was the passanger in the back seat was pretty badly injured.

If it's true, I hope he's ok. He's a top bloke.

1st of all wtf are people thinking driving like that with other people in the car? alot of the time its close friends or family. thats my opinon im not even gunna touch the rest of what happened ill leave that to everybody else

    • Sounds like you've got an interesting adventure ahead here with local support if you have trouble! My guess is that, unboosted, you will be OK with a small upgrade like -9. What will happen is that once the stock ECU sees more airflow than it expects it will add a heap of fuel and pull a heap of timing to be safe because it can't understand how it could get that much air without there being an issue. You will see clouds of black smoke and it won't pull hard through the midrange and top end. So, overall it will be a bit frustrating but should be OK. If you are still nervous set the base timing back 2o through the CAS, but it will be even more sluggish everywhere. As said above through...this is not my guarantee your engine won't be blown into a million pieces, leaving you looking for very hard to find parts A better idea is get a computer with logging ASAP, wire in a wide band O2 sensor and a use remote tuner. I've done multiple cars this way and while it is not as good as a specific tune on a dyno they can get it 90% right. I'd suggest if you can afford an R33 GTR these days you can afford an ECU and tune. And if you can't afford that you sure won't be able to afford the rebuild if it goes bad in the meantime,.  
    • Yeah it would be nice if someone took the time to put that sort of information together, but there are a lot of variations in looms. I think you are making this way hard for yourself if you just want to get it running....sourcing an SR20 with the right wiring will be a billion times easier than matching the RB loom to an S15 chassis. If you do end up going this way, you just need to trace every wire in the loom with a multimeter, 95% of them will go to a location you can confirm at the ECU.....and then post it up for the next person who needs it  
    • Just top it up with water, and keep a general idea of how much you added. It is normal for water to be pushed into and pulled out of the reservoir through the cap, and it should not be more than half full or it will be likely to overflow when hot. Any decent mechanic can do a pressure test of the cooling system to confirm if you have a leak. Keep in mind if it is only leaking a little and when hot it may well evaporate before you see it hit the ground
    • I'd ask the shop what they used and use that. Mixing coolants is sometimes OK, sometimes not, and you have know the details of each coolant to know whether it's a good idea or not.
    • Is it alright to top up with just another green coolant?
