lol i really dont know why you guys give her so much shit :(

being envious is sooo hard for some, sometimes.

this could honestly go on for soo long, and you say i need to harden up,

uniqueness is one thing not many people can have because they prefer to be sheep in the flock.

i would prefer to be that black sheep who dosent follow the follow the flock

envious... :(;):):laugh: Sorry but no.

While it was a smart ass way of saying it. Being unique does not mean its a good thing.

Just to get close to a mildly modified turbo car you will be looking at anywhere from $8000 up. If you have that much cash just to throw away on being "unique" then hey go for it.

I guess the other option would be supercharger, it will make close to a turbo and have a nice power curve. Not as much top end power but hey better bang for buck than giggle gas and N/A, plus its in there you don't have to worry about taking the tank in and out, much less likely to get defected.

*This is not "giving you shit" this one is constructive criticism*

im pretty sure she aint the type to drag every set of lights so i dont think the temperary power of the nos is really an issue. clearly the woman likes car shows and thats what its for.

chucking a turbo on a na skyline sounds a lil lame ta me. i mean you can prob go out n buy a turbo 1 for cheaper, what would be the point of paying more for something pretty much identical.

please dont tell the guy that, that stuck a RB25DET in my car im sure glad he did

+1

well said

+1 all that matters is Cara enjoys driving it and show'n'shining it

if i wanted a turbo car i would go buy one, the prices of the R34 GTT's have come down a bit now, so it would be cheaper to go buy one instead of chucking a turbo onto my n/a engine, which i will agree is quite lame really, and a waste of time.

and in my eyes being unique is a good thing. your obviously one that follows the flock and wouldnt know a thing about uniqueness............a keyboard warrior perhaps?

not everyone buys a car for power you know, unlike your self who obviously has power issues and thinks that having the most power makes you the best person in the world..............well me thinks not, however yes it might be impressive, its not like im gonna bend down and kiss your feet because of it.

i have a different approach to what i consider power to be, and what i use it for is very very different to obviosuly what you use it for. If i choose to throw shit loads of money into my non turbo, that is my decison, that is what makes me happy, but it also makes me stand out a little more than everyone else who has a turbo....................which is fine by me.

i am not afriad to be unique, you however are.

and your so called "constructive critism" , place it on someone who gives a damn, cause i dont. If i wanted constructive critism, i would go see the people who actually do stuff to my car, and dont a keyboard warrior.

1) Power is not everything, I never said it was, I have said that just to be unique does not mean that it is good. What you get and for the money you spend on it N/A is not worth it. I don't have massive amounts of power, never claimed to :laugh:

2) Afraid to be unique... don't make me laugh, you don't know the first thing about my car because unlike you I don't need peoples approval from other people about it :)

3) While we are on the subject of you knowing about it... what do I use my car for ?

3) "but it also makes me stand out a little more than everyone else who has a turbo....................which is fine by me." - Yes but being the smartest kid in the retard class is not a good thing. ;)

4)If you don't want criticism about your car why post about your shit and what you are doing on a public forum ?

So over it, you obviously have your way right or wrong its a big meh. You want to continue bring it to PM, I will be more than happy to discuss it. Otherwise, its done :(

im pretty sure this has all been heard before and discussed in another thread bout 2months ago. i think she's heard advice n made her choice

if you wanna complain bout things people do to their car look at the 1 seater convertable wrx with air brushings underneath the car, who the hell is gonna see those other than your mechanic so he can know to overcharge you.

and another great idea being convertable you can look like a loner and everyone can see you :( not to mention the gear stick between ya legs so it looks like ya jacking yaself off (anyone he looks at while driving would have to be a bit freaked out)

You have to be kidding!

NOS has to be the best 'Bang for buck' option on the market. Name another mod that can give between 50 - 250hp for around 1G?

If you think you can supercharge an RB and ever get it through regency (although technically you should be able to) you havent been involved in modifying cars for very long, either that or you have an excess of BUMB. A supercharged line is a defect waiting to happen, and more likely to be noticed than a line with NOS.

Another question: - why the concern about having to refill the tank? at 14lb boost you roughly double the fuel used compared to no boost, I've never heard of this as an argument not to turbo a car.

NOS is a great way to get aditional torque and power out of any motor, especially NA, and its there when you need it. My car has 250rwkw, but I very rarely use that many, so much like NOS its only there for the few times I need it.

On another note think of the money she is saving each year on insurance, it would more than pay for all the NOS you use in the year.

    • Even more fun, leave all the ADAS stuff plugged in, but in different locations, hopefully avoid any codes!   And honestly, all these new cars with their weird electronics. Pull all the electronics out Duncan, and just shove an aftermarket ECU and if needed a trans controller in, along with a PDM. Make it run basic but race car styled!
    • To follow up a question from earlier too since I had the front bar off again (fking!) This is what is between the bumper and the drivers side wheel And this is the navigator side, only one thing but its a biggy! So basically....no putting coolers in the wheel arches without a lot of moving other stuff. Assuming I move to properly race prepping this car I'll take that job on and see how the computers respond to removing a whole bunch of ADAS modules
    • So I prepped the car for another track day on Wednesday (will be interesting to see coolant temps post flushing out and the larger reservoir, with a forecast of 3-14 being 20o cooler than last time I took it out). Couple of things to mention; since I am just driving the car and not taking a support vehicle, I took the rear seats out and just loaded the back up Team Trackday style. Look at all that space! To cover off removing the rear seat....it is weird (note the hybrid is probably different because it wouldn't have folding rear seats) Basically, you remove the lower seat base, very similar to a r series but it is a clip that pulls forward to release the base rather than it being bolted down. Easy Then, you need to remove the side section of the rear seat on each side. There is a 14mm head nut at the bottom of the side piece, the it slides upwards off a hook at the top to release; you also need to unhook the seatbelt from the loop at the top. Then the centre piece is weird. You need to release/fold the seats forward with the tab in the boot on each side From there, there are 2,x12mm headed bolts holding the rear of each seat to the folding bracket, under the trim between the rear seat and the boot (4x christmas tree clips there, they suck). The seat is out but you can see where the bolts attach to the bracket
    • As discussed in the previous post, the bushes in the 110 needed replacing. I took this opportunity to replace the castor bushes, the front lower control arm, lower the car and get the alignment dialled in with new tyres. I took it down to Alignment Motorsports on the GC to get this work done and also get more out of the Shockworks as I felt like I wasn't getting the full use out of them.  To cut a very long story short, it ended up being the case the passenger side castor arm wouldn't accept the brand new bush as the sleeve had worn badly enough to the point you could push the new bush in by hand and completely through. Trying a pair of TRD bushes didn't fix the issue either (I had originally gone with Hardrace bushes). We needed to urgently source another castor arm, and thankfully this was sourced and the guys at the shop worked on my car until 7pm on a Saturday to get everything done. The car rides a lot nicer now with the suspension dialled in properly. Lowered the car a little as well to suit the lower profile front tyres, and just bring the car down generally. Eternally thankful for the guys down at the shop to get the car sorted, we both pulled big favours from our contacts to get it done on the Saturday.  Also plugged in the new Stedi foglights into the S15, and even from a quick test in the garage I'm keen to see how they look out on the road. I had some concerns about the length of the LED body and whether it'd fit in the foglight housing but it's fine.  I've got a small window coming up next month where I'll likely get a little paint work done on the 110 to remove the rear wing, add a boot wing and roof wing, get the side skirt fixed up and colour match the little panel on the tail lights so that I can install some badges that I've kept in storage. I'm also tempted to put in a new pair of headlights on the 110.  Until then, here's some more pictures from Easter this year. 
    • I would put a fuel pressure gauge between the filter and the fuel rail, see if it's maintaining good fuel pressure at idle going up to the point when it stalls. Do you see any strange behavior in commanded fuel leading up to the point when it stalls? You might have to start going through the service manual and doing a long list of sensor tests if it's not the fuel system for whatever reason.
