So what 1/4 mile time does your Munroe run on normal street tires Luke.

Hey shaun. i have'nt actually ran the car yet as i get SFA time to myself.

Looking to get to heathcote towards the end of august

Need some help guys, my mates at work all love cars that are 4.5+ L displacement engines. every time someone buys milk or juice it becomes a chance for me and the car to cop shit.

My favourite is still, "only cask wine comes in 5L"....but they're bogans, so they might think its boutique.

Or, perhaps, "Hey, HSV finally hit 300kW with their 6.0L LS series engines! Welcome to where Nismo had a 2.8L RB back in 1996. I knew you guys were slow, but I didn't think it'd take you 11 years to catch up."

Mentioning Bathurst is a bit tired these days. You could bring up how many Targa Tasmania victories a big bore V8 has taken in recent history, compared to a 3.6L Porsche, 2.6L GT-R, or 2.0L WRX. Or ask them which side of 8 minutes the Commodore runs at the Nurburgring.

There's plenty of ammunition out there.

2.5lt v8s can make big power... but stuff all torque... how could they pull thier boats otherwise ? its all design for purpose.

i still want an s2000 with a supercharged lexus quad cam v8

but i want allot of things.

money money moneeeeyyyyyy.... moneyyy!

putting a rag in one of their petrol tags and lighting it up is always a nice, friendly way to settle things.

failing that, have sex with one of their parents/siblings/children and send them the photos - that's always a good situation neutraliser.

good luck

How about getting a frontal lobotomoy like all the other wingnuts arguing over this rubbish. If you like cars then you like all cars. If you are so brand loyal then half the time you think your car is a fashion label or you care more about what other ppl think of your car...which really is missing the point

LOL...hey, truth hurts. Thats my take on things anyway :down:

I have a respect for any car that is worthy of it. Any person who feels the need to talk rubbish about any car based purely on ignorance is not an enthusiast. And thus i wouldnt waste my breath talking to them about something im so passionate about.

Well before you start writing off large displacement yank cars, make sure that they are in fact inferior. I think you will find plenty of American muscle cars that are a awesome machines

Or try this guy in any Jap car!

Your doing well to keep up with these! :)

i just tell them that if my 2.5l makes 346rwkws your 5.7l would have tomake 788 rwkws to be any where near as efficient. and seing how gts-t weighs only 1370kgs and a vx monaro weighs in excess of 1700kgs,i rest my case. had a mate at work tell me that even though he concedes that my skyline would beat his vx gto monaro in a race , that his mates 10 sec vl would destroy me lol! whats he trying to say about his car?

i don't know why there has to be such a divide anyway. i love all fast, powerful and sexy cars! give me a camaro rs ss any day! i could just look at and rub my crotch on it all day long....mmmm

the only come back i've got is, if it aint a nissan theres parts missin... and that grows old very quick.

help me with some come backs to these fuel guzzelling barstards!

only cheap wine comes in 5l

Its like the Melbourne vs Sydney thing,

- there is no right answer, they both have pro's and cons, though I think there is more of both of those in Sydney!! :thumbsup:

I love em all, 4's 6's and V8's, hmmm.. actually anything that ignites and goes BANG!

    • Was going to say the car pulls up nicely everywhere, especially going into that last long right hander before the main straight. Looks like a lot of fun.
    • Hey Dave, welcome aboard! Good to see another soon-to-be Stagea owner here. The wagons are awesome — plenty of space, still got that Skyline DNA, and loads of potential if you’re into mods. Definitely post up pics when you get it, everyone here loves seeing new builds. What model/year are you looking at?
    • See if you can thermal epoxy a heatsink or two onto it?
    • The other problem was one of those "oh shit we are going to die moments". Basically the high spec Q50s have a full electric steering rack, and the povo ones had a regular hydraulic rack with an electric pump.  So couple of laps into session 5 as I came into turn 2 (big run off now, happily), the dash turned into a christmas tree and the steering became super heavy and I went well off. I assumed it was a tyre failure so limped to the pits, but everything was OK. But....the master warning light was still on so I checked the DTCs and saw – C13E6 “Heat Protection”. Yes, that bloody steering rack computer sitting where the oil cooler should be has its own sensors and error logic, and decided I was using the steering wheel too much. I really appreciated the helpful information in the manual (my bold) POSSIBLE CAUSE • Continuing the overloading steering (Sports driving in the circuit etc,) “DATA MONITOR” >> “C/M TEMPERATURE”. The rise of steering force motor internal temperature caused the protection function to operate. This is not a system malfunction. INSPECTION END So, basically the electric motor in the steering rack got to 150c, and it decided to shut down without warning for my safety. Didn't feel safe. Short term I'll see if I can duct some air to that motor (the engine bay is sealed pretty tight). Long term, depending on how often this happens, I'll look into swapping the povo spec electric/hydraulic rack in. While the rack should be fine the power supply to the pump will be a pain and might be best to deal with it when I add a PDM.
    • And finally, 2 problems I really need to sort.  Firstly as Matt said the auto trans is not happy as it gets hot - I couldn't log the temps but the gauge showed 90o. On the first day I took it out back in Feb, because the coolant was getting hot I never got to any auto trans issues; but on this day by late session 3 and then really clearly in 4 and 5 as it got hotter it just would not shift up. You can hear the issue really clearly at 12:55 and 16:20 on the vid. So the good news is, literally this week Ecutek finally released tuning for the jatco 7 speed. I'll have a chat to Racebox and see what they can do electrically to keep it cooler and to get the gears, if anything. That will likely take some R&D and can only really happen on track as it never gets even warm with road use. I've also picked up some eye wateringly expensive Redline D6 ATF to try, it had the highest viscosity I could find at 100o so we will see if that helps (just waiting for some oil pan gaskets so I can change it properly). If neither of those work I need to remove the coolant/trans interwarmer and the radiator cooler and go to an external cooler....somewhere.....(goodbye washer reservoir?), and if that fails give up on this mad idea and wait for Nissan to release the manual 400R
