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 ..

    • Seat of the pants assessment of the new intake: The car is way less "doughy" when hitting the loud pedal, especially off idle when stopped or in traffic, I did use a cheapo lazer thermal thingo to measure the temp around where the pod filter got its air, it was between 55 - 60°C, in saying this the car was shut off and not moving, so the OEM intake pipe was not supplying any fresh air to where the pod was when the car was at least moving A weird bonus was induction noise on the throttle in the cabin increased a bit,  I was worried that I was actually going to lose some of that induction noise I love so much, outside though, when I got the daughter to do a WOT drive by pass for me, the induction noise has increased alot when on the throttle, not quite ITB doort, but well up there I'm extremely happy with the results and have been exploring the country roads in the region  As for house mods: 1.New front fence is up and is awesome, it really upgraded how the joint looks from the street, and the added security is nice 2. Electricians have replace some interior lights, and with more lighting in the garage, a few new motion detecting lights out the front above the garage, front room, and at the front door, which I have already found heaps helpful coming and going, also now has fancy pants CCTV all round the house The only hold point for power though is the solar and batteries due to supply issues, although this will happen over the next few weeks 3. I have done a heap of landscaping out the front and I'm almost ready to do a new small retaining wall with some nice blocks to replace the brick and cemented in rocks around the raised garden beds cemented in river stone "was the fashion at the time" the house was built. I currently have a pallet of retaining wall blocks and 2 bulka bags of 20mm blue metal to replace the wood chip that is in the raised garden beds around the house 4. I now have 3 big raised garden beds for out the back to grow some vegetables, about 70cm high, 200cm long and 100cm wide 5. My 2 compost bins are already pretty full with brown, green and kitchen waste from the landscaping I'vedone so far, but they will probably take a few months to break down, so anything else that gets chopped, trimmed, and kitchen waste will just start filling the base of the raised garden beds to about 30cm before I start throwing 40cm of good compost, and stuff, for the vegetables to grow in, I'll need a few ton of compost and soil, but the local supplier can sent me bulka bags of the stuff Basically the logs, wood chips and a few strategically placed rocks for drainage, will give the beds some good organic materials down low to break down over time, and they will hold moisture during the warmer months to save the water in my big arse water tank if we don't get alot of rain So, all in all, the car and house mods are going well, and I'm really enjoying being retired, I sleep in too 0700 and slowly plod around inside until I feel like actually doing anything, and only work in the yard for as long as want, which has actually been alot over the last few weeks,  although when you look at it, it seems that not a huge amount of work has been done,  until I look at the before I started the work pics Happy days and good times indeed 
    • hahaha yeah. Plan is to get side skirts and probably just rear pods. But going to do them one-by-one. I've got a set that I really like from RHDJapen, but that one isn't shipped to AU. So need to find someone who can get it for me
    • Here's an idea, answer the questions I asked you as they are trying to work out WHY the LSD will be binding up in a straight line.
    • You haven't driven many modern cars then have you? Most of them have sfa steering feel with their stupid electric bullshit steering systems.
