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.

    • This. A 3d wheel alignment is like $120...just take it to the shop. Since theres probably multiple adjustments that need to be made after changing something. Mine has front/rear lower arms, traction rods, tension rods, camber arms, toe arms, front upper arms, hicas kit, sway bars and coilovers. I measure from the edge of the bolt holes on the originals and set the same length on all the adjustable stuff to dial it as close as I could to OEM. Took it straight for alignment; it didnt feel right at all...after alignment, it feels perfect. Similarly i've just changed the springs on another car; and I still needed multiple adjustments to bring it back in spec.
    • A full Veilside kitted JZA80 Supra in Meriken park in Kobe city a few weeks back
    • Its a well known brand in New Zealand; its a rebrand of the Rhino RAV3.  I don't know what the wiring difference *is* between the rev.1 (installed about 15 years ago) and rev.2; but as you say I would think its reasonable that it uses the same immobiliser relay circuits. I had a look but couldnt see a similar harness; but didnt move things around since I didnt want to mess with it   It was one of AVS well known Authorised Installers; I spoke to AVS themselves about it but theyre unsure hence seeking advice more so from the skyline community who are more familiar with the actual car and its wiring. Im in Auckland; but the installer is on the other side of the city so hes very reluctant to come back to even look at it to confirm something isnt connected into the wrong wire.  I dont want to drop the name since they *did* do a really good job for the most part. Everything is very tidy and he fully replaced all the alarm wiring, all the sensors, the wiring to the door motors, installed a switch which was never installed in the first place...really happy with the alarm install itself..just not this one issue. We all make mistakes, if it is the alarm, I just want my fuel pump getting proper switched, fused, power as it was; without having to shell out for an auto electrician to switch a wire and tell me it was the alarm. 
    • Even with the piston at TDC there was room for it to drop, but I don't think it can drop fully into the cylinder, the problem you have is that you need something pushing against the valve to hold it up so you have enough room to put the new stem seal on and the spring etc.  I used compressed air only because putting rope in the cylinder seemed a bit risky to me, I know people have done it countless times before like this. Overall it's a pain in the ass job. Honestly you'd probably be better off taking the head off because the risk of dropping something in the engine and the finicky-ness of it all is very stressful. If you are going to attempt it though i 10000% recommend a 36050 valve spring/keeper tool. I had both the traditional lever type and after doing 1 cylinder it was absolute pain to get those valve keepers in place, even with 2 people. That 36050 is amazing, you do have to push hard to get them in place but it works perfectly almost every time. Back to my actual issue I think my engine is just tired and old and the rings have gone bad. The comp numbers (cold, no oil) were: Cyl 1 -129psi Cyl 2 - 133psi Cyl 3 - 138psi Cyl 4 - 137psi Cyl 5 - 157psi Cyl 6 - 142psi   Cylinder 5 and 6 having the most carbon on them.
    • Who did you have do the installation? I actually know someone who is VERY familiar with the AVS gear. The main point of contact though would be your installer.   Where are you based in NZ?
