horses for courses

quite a few people like drifting here, Im one of them!

Its peoples choice hey - remember the main part of the thread is to find out the guys in 33's who have the lock bar, not bag drifting

If drifting isnt your pick of the bunch - cool! good for you!

i'll just be in the wasteland if anyone needs me

for the record i think drifting is when left to the proffessional drifters with nice looking cars but i just hate when some retard with his uncle's kingswood tries it to prove a point...

...just crap car in general... looks crap.... *Whoring*

You know why? I'll tell you why...

...it's because your car was not made to slide sideways.

If car manufacturers wanted your car to drive like a crab with downe syndrome then they would have attached trolley wheels or made it a hovercraft.

There is a reason that skylines have the battery located in the boot, it's to cause balance and weight distribution to create a nice handling car.

There is a reason that HICAS is there. it's to STOP your car from going sideways, it's called a safety feature

Am I the only person who thinks drifting is kinda gay and destructive to cars? it's slower than driving straight, and it costs a lot more.

what's the next craze to take off to destroy your automotive investment? driving head first into a brick wall?

fast and furious brick wall

...I can see it now... "whoa dude did you just see that pro jap driver slam into that brick wall?"

" yeah man, he's really talented, he's really progressing the nature of this art."

isn't there an anti drifting forum you could join?

Haha, you've got a cefiro and you don't slide it... you must be one of a kind.

How does HICAS 'STOP' over steer, it's impossible for a device with 1 degree of movement to eliminate over steer. All it does is smooth out corners for the average shit driver. While I had the HICAS in my car it was unstable a high speed (100km/h on highway), would wiggle around when coming over a crest, when cornering hard it would unpredictably snap into oversteer when I didn't want it to and generally just made the car feel less direct to drive.

The idea of four-wheel steer is good but HICAS simply doesn't work and is no where near developed enough, especially the earlier Hydraulic versions.

Hey Guys,

Sorry to butt in,

Haven't had much experience with HICAS and don't drive my car frequently enough to experience it's downfalls.

But what is the max amount of turn that HICAS alters on the 34? or 33? I'm guessing it would be the same.

Cheers

and yes i don't slide it i like to keep a nice cruiser

well youve bought the wrong car for a nice cruiser to start with, get a fairmont giah, if drifting not ur thing so be it, anyone can cruise around and pretend they know how to drive but not many people can actually drive properly on the track or drift for that matter.

back to the topic yeah prefer a lock bar any day, even if you look at circuit cars like for eg Jimmy Richards R32 Bathurst GTR he got rid of it aswell as he prefered the driver to control the car, not the car controlling the car. Whether its circuit/drift get a lock bar and feel the difference.

Mr Eps...

I suggest you buy a VL executive, put a drop tank on it & rear/side venecian blinds and join calaisturbo.com if ur not into drifting....

Drifting is the BEST thing you could possibly do in a jap car.. IF u can do it...

Let me know how u go looking for the venecians... :kiss:

      Ceramic turbine damage to engine - what did yours do?

      By Erelyes · Posted

      Ha, well, it's been.... a bit of a journey. Things have taken much longer than I'd hoped. I'll probably put up a thread at some stage. Hopefully soon. The car's not done any kms since my update in June though, put it that way.

      Here's the chart for fuel pressure vs. current draw, assuming your base fuel pressure is 3 bar and you run like 0.5bar boost on WOT, you should only momentarily hit 9amps here and there. (Ignore my prev post, I cannot read a chart these days it seems)

      Those comp test results are not hideous. Whether they are accurate or not (ie, when that comp tester says 140 psi, is the real pressure120, 140 or 160?) is unknown to us. The state of the battery used to crank it over is unknown, etc etc. Many people around here would say that the absolute values and the spread are perfectly fine to just add boost and keep going. I personally would be happier with a narrower spread than that, but even the diff between 125 and 145 is not terrible. That one cylinder at 125 though, has probably copped some damage relative to the others. You should inspect the valves seeing as you've got it open. Do you know how to measure installed ring gaps? That, and an inspection of the rings themselves, is how you will determine whether they need to be replaced. If you're not good to do these things, take the block and the pistons and rings to a shop that is, and ask them for the go/no-go on them. Do the bores need a hone at all? If so, you might well be justified in getting some different pistons in order to get away from the ring supply problem. Whether you're happy to spend a lot more money right now, on more gear, rather than less money, but an amount that looks stupid given that you will only get a handful of rings in exchange for that money, is for you to decide.

      Ok so i would love some advice here please, i purchased an R33 a few months back and its had a few mods done to the engine, its an RB25det running a Master ECU, 1200cc injectors, bigger turbo, oil cooler, oil filter relocation kit, Spool H-beam rods, acl/ross pistons. When i removed the motor from the vehicle (as its getting a respray) i thought i would compression test it and these are the following results. Cylinder 1-145psi, Cylinder 2-143psi, Cylinder 3-125psi, Cylinder 4-145psi, Cylinder 5-140psi, Cylinder 6-135psi this test was done with the motor on the ground and powering up the starter motor. I dropped the sump and found broken oil squirters on cylinder 3,5 and 6. I was told my rings are probably worn so i stripped the motor completely to get a new set of rings for it. The trouble is no one has these rings anywhere and they have to be custom made by Ross over in the states and will cost about $600+$200 delivery. My question is how can i tell if my rings are at fault and if they are still ok and is this price ok for a set of rings?
