I'm amazed that he hasn't hit anyone in that speed while just only last week TWO under-cover police officers were driving UNDER the speed limit YET they have managed to hit an old lady.

:blush: how did they catch him, i mean those SS's are fairly quick but assuming he was going at least 120km/h faster than them when they saw him i don't think he'd have struggled to get away.. That would also = an estimated speed if they were driving, and i know that if the car was stationary when they saw the gtr they wouldn't have seen him again.. so maybe 200 is an exaggeration?

long stretch of road or not, he had to have hit a traffic lights at some point. its mentioned that he was 'weaving in and out of traffic'. either way like you said he would have been past the cops w/o seeing them. but all they need to see would be his plates. or they could have caught up at the next lights and he wouldnt have known he was in shit till the lights started flashing.

also does it really matter if it was 200 or 160?

i think you right there man they tend to blow up the storie if its a jap car but at the end of the day all of us have done stupid shit and no one can act like they havnt done high speeds before he was just unlucky maybe he can learn from this the only thing that pissed me off was it had to be a line.. ah well

I really dont agree with taking any skyline up to its limit, whats the point really??

if you really want to get the rush, jump off a plane or something, take it on the track

I remember not too long ago when i was doing just a little over 100k and came to a complete stop into a fence and a pile of rocks in just under 5 secs, the impact that had, i came out with sore shoulders, sore neck and brused all over

would not want to think of an impact at twice that speed, OUCH

      We have a huge update coming in the next few months, version 5 of Invision will be released. I'm holding off any changes until after this change as I'm not sure what features will be removed or introduced.

      Yeah, plenty of air flow, there is a dedicated path that feeds the air in to the OEM intake tube behind the bumper As for a "tangible effect", maybe, but getting the pod/intake air out of the hot engine bay is worth it psychologically to me, even if it gives no performance difference, so the tangible effect in my Lizard brain saysss yessss  In the end, to me a tangible effect isn't always about performance, sometimes it a sound or a look, or even a...... feeling  Ooga-Chaka Ooga-Ooga Ooga-Chaka Ooga-Ooga Ooga-Chaka Ooga-Ooga Ooga-Chaka Ooga-Ooga

      yeah first and reverse is where you will find clutch release issues (whether hydraulic or mechanical) because the difference in revs required is the highest there; particularly changing down from 2nd to 1st when still moving. To be clearer though, it is possible that the clutch release bearing is the wrong height. This is less likely than a hydraulic issue but it is not unheard of when you are mixing and matching

      Replacing turbo water line - any recommendations or advice?

      By jtha7 · Posted

      Hi all, Restoring r33 series 1 rb25det. All the heater hoses were on their way out, have replaced them and put it all back together. After testing I noticed a small leak from behind the head on the actual metal water line to the turbo when cars warm. I tried running a longer hose over it but it kept leaking...   I am about to take the (stock) manifold off again😔 to change the water line does any one have any lines they recommend? I was looking at Aeroflow Turbo Oil & Water Line Set but not sure what everyone else recommends. Car is completely stock but want to upgrade turbo eventually. it looks like ill have to disconnect a lot just to replace these lines so if there's anything else recommended to do please let me know. Thank you in advance!
