Mine's stock, not even sideskirts :) Well, it has the bigger front bar, that's it. Of course if it looked ugly when stock I might have done something about it sooner.

the r33 skyline has a slightly better power to weight ratio than a silvia/180sx and better still after applying common mods to both., but who is going to be quicker, i think the silvia/180sx may get the skyline of the line because of the lighter weight to get it going but the skyline should get it over the 1/4

(but it also comes down to who is driving)

I'm pissed off, i went cruising tonight and i lost everytime!! mind you i wasnt racing riceboxes...now im starting to think something is wrong with my car hehe

Its probably just me though, i havent owned the car long and plus its auto so i cant rev it up much at the lights and dump the clutch to get good launches.

oh well fmic and s-afcII is on order im hoping that will give me enough power to keep up with most modified cars around

MJ, Stall it up at the lights, just before it goes green (dont be a fool and hold it for 10 seconds! LOL) Now got boost and revs... and you'll launch just as good as a manual! And even better than a manual in some cases...

Btw maybe you should put it on a dyno to check out whats going on!

At a club day at Oran Park i was hosed by a turbo MX-5, 180SX with Apexi turbo, S14 with cat back exhaust, M5, but i beat a calpped out 4cyl Pintara :) At the time i had cat back, filter and IC running around 12psi.

But on the slalom and driving events i was in the top couple of cars, so R32s may not be straight ahead demons, but are well balanced with good brakes and are good alround performance cars...well in my opinion.

Yeah Busky2k, I found the best method is to put my left foot on the brake and right foot on the accel and rev to about 2k then launch. Is this the best method?

Any higher revs and i just lose traction and wheelspin through first. My rear tyres are a shitty tyre though... so i think if i get some quality tyres on the back and perhaps some pinapples (im not sure if these would do anything?) that would help alot.

I never realised how quick those genIII commodores are haha i get hosed by them everytime...i havent raced a stock one yet so maybe i could keep up with that.

This is my first decent car and its lots of fun having good runs with other good cars

    • I can see between the water jacket and cyl 3 there wasn't a hard line of combustion gas. It certainly appears that the issue is coming from there. Yes, checked the tension. All at 100ft lbs where I set them 5 years ago. These blocks can crack but generally when they have been over bored. Mine is only 0.5mm oversize at 89.5mm. They break between cylinders around the 91mm mark. No sign of that with mine. My gut feeling is the head gasket lifted a while back when the studs stretched and i bandaided it by retorquing the studs. It's finally let go.
    • My Nismo 1.5 churps a bit on reverse turns when cold, but besides that feels like a stock diff.
    • Yes, but, I paid cash and I'm pretty sure the receipt was in the bin 10 minutes after I got home Note to self, keep all receipts
    • Bunnings would have just handed you your money back on that one!
    • So, version 4 intake is on its way I was looking at these a while ago but at around $200 or more it was a little pricey for something that might not work, but, I had it in my watch list, but, I got a message saying it was on special, and I had a code thingie to use, it eventually came in at $120 delivered, so BAM, BUY NOW.....LOL I'll need to have a look when it arrives but I feel it will "look" better than what I currently have, as it comes with a PCV fitting, so I will be able to get rid of the alloy pipe that goes to the throttle body with the PCV fitting  Well, that's what the voices in my head are telling me  Oh, and this happened today Yeap, it was a Trojan, and it was cheap, so I headed back to the hardware store and actually spent a little bit more on a heavy duty,  one that was actually recommended by a plumber mate, a Cyclone one with a fibreglass handle that is actually rated for clay The broken shovel will eventually be "modified" into a short handle shovel
