r32 ls1 conversion, looks rather tidy.

btw Dale bill from ATS claims his high flows get upto 270rwkw on pump fuel and they do get over 300 on E85 Adrian of the last dyno day was running the same one i have with nismo 700cc injectors and cracked 300

Read this story:

http://www.news.com.au/adelaidenow/story/0...5006301,00.html

And read what a comment was for this story:

I wonder how many high speed incidents there are in the immediate days and weeks after the Clipsal 500 has been in Adelaide. This must cost the state dearly in business disruption within Adelaide, does it also have a cost in lives?

What kind of bullshit is that? Blaming Clipsal 500 for a bunch of robbers trying to out-run the police?!

old people can use the internet now, so its not just angry letters in the feedback section of the advertiser :(

What a poor, poor statement, that really has no relation to the story? They ran from the cops, and smashed, i dont think they had the Ckipsal 500 in their mind at the time. Another comment was, i hate to say it, spot on, but "they fulfilled their own destiny".

yay!

This is a tragic waste of life, but we need to ask why do young kids do this? When I was young I did stupid things in cars, got caught, paid the fine and became a better driver. Now, getting caught is too tough so higher risks are taken to NOT get caught, stupid things done later at night, done in more remote areas that are more dangerous etc. Remember Kids will be Kids, they will experiment. I say lets not stop kids experimenting, let provide them a safer way to experiment, provide a controlled manner in which they can experiment. Driving at 50 everyday only creates dumb useless drivers, learning how to control a car provides safer drivers, make it mandatory for kids to do some evasive driving classes, teach them how to drive faster, give them a place to do a burnout. I am sick of all this crap about lowering speed limits, increasing the fines. This just increases the risks some kids will take. Everyday we drive a car its a risk, we need to lower the risk, we need to save lives and we need to do it in a radical way. People comment about kids not understanding what they are doing and that they must "wake up" - don't you remember when you were a kid, when did you wake up? When were enlightened that you were not invincible? When did you realise that you are so important to your family - probably not until you got your own kids? I am saying lets provide better training and reduce the severity of the punishment, lets reduce the risk these kids have to take to experiment, the higher the risk the higher the loss and that is what we are seeing.

Im surprised the report doesnt go

'the skyline powered commodore'

the comment i read sort of blamed lowered speed limits and no race track

edit couldn't agree more with that quoted post there damo pity the right people that count dont read it and get things done

    • Got the passenger door on plus the master cylinder and booster. Loaded up to take it home. At home, the colour changes a lot in the light.
    • Nothing cheap, but I have seen the AC Hydraulic DK13HLQ which is pretty close to what you're asking for. The problem is the hydraulic cylinder mandates that the back of the jack be a certain height and Skylines have fairly deep inset floor jack points. A more certain and cheap option is to get some nominal 2x10 inch lumber boards and have one board be 1.5 feet, the other board 3 feet. Glue it all together with lots of clamps to maintain pressure. Make two of these. The ramp suggested above is a good idea, it takes quite a bit of clutch slip to get over each of the boards. I only need the first ~1.5 inches for my low profile jack on a standard ride height car but a lowered car you want to go up to the full ~3-3.5 inches. Paint it or store indoors if you want it to last.
    • Ok. And Nistune? I read (here too) mainly on Stagea threads that it can by "turn off" with Nistune. But they say they still had the sensor plug in. Next week iam going to the Nistune(and other ECUs) tuner so i can finally make it work. I drove the car home and apart from the cut it drove great. No misfire no smoke no hesitation or rough start...so hoping it is this sensor that is missing  
    • I just stack 2 pieces of 200x50 timber on top of each other. Total length about 900mm, with the top one being a little shorter and both having a 45° angle cut on them to make the front edge a bit of a ramp. Put these in front of each front wheel, drive up on them, throw the trolley jack under. Takes 1 minute. Scissor jacks can eat a bowl of dicks. I never use on under my car unless desperate.
    • Well, yeah. But I just expect everything other than my car to feel like a bucket of shit anyway. I still miss my Alfa 116 so much though. You could run over a 20c piece and tell whether it was heads or tails.
