Pretty silly leaving the Victorian number plate on you can see the rego in one sceen. Looks a bit stupid in the back streets. Hope he dosen't get caught.

But yes it did look good on the roundabout.

^^^ and sadly powersliding is NOT drifting. It's like nearly every Yank Youtube video about 'drifting' - none of them clutch kick or handbrake - they are only powersliding.

Your a day layour a day late with that one ;)

?

I know it was an April Fools joke they did, I didn't know about that one till today, I still found it amusing so thought I would share for people that didn't know also.

this is great

first they convert a car turbo to work as a primitive jet engine

then they screw around with a Rolls Royce Derwent engine in the backyard of their garage...

Makes me want one. Just cause

-D

saw that awhile ago Ben....awesome!!

Here is the follow up video....apparently Karl passed away just over a year ago

This is an interesting reply to a question as to "why doesn't the truck move at full throttle/"

He could have 50 of those engines at full throttle on the truck and it will not move, UNTIL the brakes are released and then there is not stopping it! Ever seen the video of the 'strongman' holding back a whole jet with his teeth are something, if he gave the jet an inch he would be gone. Even when you are flying, the jet will full power the engines and those tiny tires hold it all back, until the brakes were released. if Carl released the brakes on the truck, no stopping it!

I will have one of these in a year or two.....shame it'll cost $40K to convert it to RHD.

662hp Mustang Shelby GT500 for under $100K

Won't beat the R35 around the "Ring" but will blitz it in acceleration....apparently the 2013 model will out accelerate the Bugatti Veryon.

Listen to the sound of the stock exhaust!! :woot:

    • I just bent the ends of my premo plates. It even went through Regency like that after the engine conversion and the inspector (a great bloke!) just squinted his eyes and said "I didn't see that". Plates, and how they look, are just something that have zero importance to me.
    • Yeah, I would have said the same. It makes me suggest that there are other things wrong, such that the ECU is totally unhappy with the broken sensor. The only other thought here is that maybe it is shorted, which might cause a different issue to the typical "disconnected" sensor.
    • The fact that US/JDM plates actually fit the skyline bumpers properly is a big, big thing for me as they are the correct dimensions. Annoyingly you can't opt for a normal plate (or plate combination) in that size. You have to make up your own one, and at that point you'd still know it wasn't randomly assigned. 
    • Well, really, that's any ECU, because it's not so much the ECU that the tuner connects to, but a laptop that's connected to the ECU. You have to have the tuning software installed locally. The "remote" part is essentially just remote desktop (RDP) or VNC type access. Nevertheless, if you're looking to upgrade, then you're immediately in the Haltech/Link territory, both of which can be done by any number of competent tuners here in Oz. But without a dyno, you'll definitely also need a wideband O2 sensor fitted, and you'll probably be relying on "auto" tuning a bit, where you drive it around under various loads and then apply the corrections that the ECU learns (basically applying the fuel trims that the ECU has to do to correct the mixtures). Tuning the timing is a little harder. It can be difficult to trust the old OEM knock sensors on RBs, so it is definitely best to have someone who knows what they're listening for, with knock ears (a piezo microphone connected to the engine, and and little amp and headphones so the listener can hear the angry men with hammers who live in the engine). That is more difficult to do remotely, and I suspect the only sane way is to be quite conservative on timing. But that's OK. You're probably waaaaay better off with conservative timing where you are. What is the fuel situation? 98RON available? Or low grade jungle juice?
    • I see your point, I didn't think too deep into it, was purely focused on the price. There's no bad blood between myself and GSM, they acknowledged the price was cheaper else where and at the time couldn't match it.
