BLOODY OATH!!

hahaahha, lovin life, seems like good weather today, taking it in for a clean =D

MRXTCZ

Lolz good to hear. you might see me drive past one day. i'm usually everywhere. so i'm gonna horn at cha ass! i'll be the one driving a white n/a s15 :)

btw share some more photos of your 34 when you get the chance yeah. cheers buddy!

if you drive normally on an N/a and a turbo

the turbo will definitely consume less petrol (from experience)

but... wehn u begin to hit boost... dont those vtec just happen to be next to you?

haha n/a are actually ok, im getting around ... 10L --> but i can tell my car running a bit rich.

but i drive like a grandma. nothing over 2500 rpm hahahhah

see ya lads!

:D Until the turbo kicks in, its basically a NA, And with Turbo skylines, the compression ratio is lower than in a NA, so you basically have less power = less fuel consumption, that is until the turbo spools up and you hit boost and fuel starts pumping in like niagra falls.

Haha yeah Mingy, dun worri we'll hit the strip one day hehe .

Anyways, nah man no new pics till she goes to the car wash, and that aint anytime soon looking at the weather lol.

Had some bad experiences with my other cars, wash it for an hour or 2 including polish and interior, then it starts to pour down !

Worst thing lmao.

Alright no worries. keep us updated. :)

btw i've heard polish and wax is pretty much useless. it comes off after 1 wash or 2. so i'd recommend detailing. i got my family civic done recently. its black so swirls and sh1t shows real easy. i used a product called Paint Protection Shielding. basically its a product which covers your whole car with a protection coat and makes your car shiny. it protects against sun, acid rain, bird/bat poo and other chemicals. good thing is that its permanent so doesn't come out after washes. it only cost me $250 all up including labour. might wanna give it a go!

Autech S15 for same price as Spec R FTL

NA Supra will kick an NA R34's arse...

NA Supra is just as quick as a Twin Turbo Soarer, mean car just a bit heavy... in saying that Supra's can look porn...

someone here said NA's have awesome handling as opposed to Turbo car and my comment to that is 'what..?'

R33 or R34 - i discussed this before in the other thread, R34 = newer, nicer interior and in my personal opinion, exterior (not biased even though i own a GT-T) blah blah blah...

i've never been in an NA Skyline ever but i wouldn't say a Turbo car is basically the same as an NA until turbo kicks in... from when you put the pedal to the floor before your Turbo is fully spooled up you're building sweet speed with the turbo... oh whatever, i'm too tired to discuss this...

Autech S15 FTL

NA Supra can be good...

R34 > R33

Well it does get boring behind my desk lmao, so might aswell put some brains on here, and look around. I swear everytime i visit the forum i learn something new!!

haha, anyways, hope this thread here helps future N/A buyers :P ..

    • That's kind of what I was getting at saying you'd be here soon regarding length etc being able to add additional restriction.  My assumption (possible donkeys of you and mption) is that the length of hose to an oil cooler, and back, isn't going to be that huge of a loss. Typically you're talking about 1.5m of total length. And so far everyone in our world hasn't had issues with oil not being able to get to a cooler and back, it's more been, how the heck do we get the oil out of the head and back down to the bottom? I'd nearly hazard a guess the biggest issue people have with oil cooling and oil supply, is being able to get the heat out at the cooler itself (not enough air flow, too small of a cooler etc) Also, when people mount them wrong and make really awesome air traps so they've dramatically diminished the cooling capacity.
    • I will rebutt this and the preceding point from Dose....but without doing any calcs to demonstrate anything and without knowing that I am right or wrong. But... The flow capacity of a fluid transfer system is not limited by the smallest orifice or section of conduit in that system, unless it is drastically smaller than the rest of the system. OK, I use the word drastically perhaps with too much emphasis, but let's drill down on what I really mean. The flow capacity of the system is the result of the sum of the restrictions of the entire system. So, to make an extreme example, if you have a network with 3" pipe everywhere (and let's say a total length of only a few metres) and that 12mm ID restriction of the oil filter connection being the obvious restriction, then for any given amount of pressure available, the vast majority of all the pressure drop in the system is going to occur in the 12mm restriction. But.... increase the length of the 3" pipeline to, say 1000m, and suddenly the pipe pressure loss will likely add up to either be in the same order of magnitude, possibly even exceeding that of the 12mm restriction. Now the 12mm restriction starts to matter less. Translate this to the actual engine, actual oil cooler hose sizing, etc etc, and perhaps: The pressure loss caused by flowing through the narrow section (being the 12mm oil filter port, and perhaps any internal engine oil flow pathways associated with it) is a certain number. The pressure loss through, say, -12 hoses out to the cooler and back is negligible, but The pressure loss through -10 hoses out to the cooler, at the exact same length as the above, starts to become a decent fraction of the loss through the 12mm stuff at the filter port. Maybe even it starts to exceed it. I could actually do these calcs if I knew 1) how much oil was actually flowing in the line, 2) gave enough of a f**k to do things that I hate doing for work, voluntarily for a hypothetical discussion. Anyway - I reiterate. It's not the narrowest port that necessarily determines how much it can all flow. It is the sum. A long enough length of seemingly fat enough pipe can still cause more loss than a semmingly dominant small bore restriction.
    • To pick up what Dose is putting down. Not a lot of point running a huge hose if the motor is still restricted to the smaller size... It's only capable of flowing so much at that point...   *Waits for GTSBoy to come in and bring in the technicalities of length of pipe, and additional restriction from wall friction etc etc*
    • Hooley Dooley these things have some history! If i sell them they will need a certificate of providence to prove they have been in the hands of verified RB20 royalty! They have been stored in a plastic tub, away from sunlight and moisture. They are in mint condition. And they will stay that way, as i have sprung the money for a set of shockworks coilovers. I'm just working on getting them in at the moment, after rebushing the rear of the car, and while the subframe was out i welded in the GKtech reinforcement bracing as well.  They will get a workout at Ararat King of The Hill in November. I ran 48s on the short course there a few months ago, and i am hoping with new bushes and shocks in the rear i can launch a bit harder. There was a fair bit of axle tramp when i tried too hard off the line. a few of the corners had dips mid way which also made the car feel a bit unsettled, hopefully this will help there too.
