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

street racing meh, deserve to find out the hard way unfortunatley, the easy way not many ppl take seriously... do this stuff on the tracks, thats why they're there

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.

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.

      Boost cut after swap(RB25DET NEO) R34

      By Kapr · Posted

      Ok thanks..that was my second question if i can somehow bypass this even with Nistune(that is all i have right now...aparat from stock ECU. So with some aftemarket it can by "bypassed" or make it work?  I know there is Link or Haltech (mainly used). We have ECUmaster here so i will gather some info about it.

      Yes. You will need to get the original boost sensor and wire it in. That is.... if you plan to use a stock ECU - even a Nistuned ECU. The Nissan ECU will not operate correctly without it connected. And yes, it will do annoying stuff like you are experiencing. You will almost certainly be better off with some aftermarket ECU, than trying to hunt down rare sensors.

      Boost cut after swap(RB25DET NEO) R34

      Ok so ABS/TCS is "not" the problem. Yeah i know now about the ABS with Nistune(i told that to the Nistune guy) but iam not 100% why or why i dont have ABS. ABS cube is in the engine (always has been) but i had braked couple of times rly hard and brakes just locked and scream. Does all Skylines have ABS cube? That boost sensor https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/367633-wtb-r34-gtt-turbo-pressure-sensor-pics-inside/ Is this it? I need to ask but i have a picture of engine bay and i do not see that (100% is not in that place) If i do not have this the car can do what mine is?(cutting around 4000 rpm) Here is the pic of my engine bay(only one i have) BUT i think i dont have that cuz loom was used from my RB20DE NEO and i know (obviously) that it does not have boost control or any wire to that...) so maybe that is the problem? (i dont know for 100% if that car where the engine is from had that)...but i dont have the loom from that

      S1 rb25/s14 starting problem

      By MBS206 · Posted

      I'm with you here. It's either loom has an issue, OR, injectors are not functioning properly. It could even be they're just constantly dribbling, hence the wet, but not firing.

      By Duncan · Posted

      Depending on how long the car sat it is very possible for injectors to be stuck open or closed, I'd get them cleaned and flow tested. Other than that, obviously when the loom changes and the car doesn't start any more....the loom is suspect so some tracing / comparing may be required
