Get involved in motorsports and then you'll get the opposite.

"shit mate that car is fast - how much power are you making?"

"it's pretty stock actually. I dunno 200kw's or something"

"but doesn't it have a HKS 2.8L with twin 2860-5's"

"ah yep. But its pretty standard otherwise"

"other than the hollinger, dry sump, RS shocks, cf panels, bigger brakes etc"

"yep other than them pretty standard as I said"

reminds me of this bloke i met once. i was then making 260rwk in my gtst and one bloke from the area is like my mate raced you and you just lost man. lol.

i asked him how much power his friend has and hes like " its got a exhaust and boost making 200 at the wheels". I laughed so hard.

i responded it must be a absolute freak to keep up... then i showed him the dyno sheet. The look on this guys face was so priceless.

i wanted to punch him in the face but i found it too funny :)

I can think of worse, someone trying to convince you your car is something it isn't.

The R34:

"OMG, that's a GT-R."

Me: "No, it's a four GT-T."

"I know my Skylines."

Me: "I can promise you it's not."

"It has a GT-R engine though."

Me: "No it doesn't."

and so on and so forth.

N15:

"Is that one of those AWD Pulsars."

Me: "No, it's front wheel drive."

or

"Is it turbo?"

Me: "Do you think the front mount is there for looks?"

Eventually I just give in and let them believe whatever makes them happy.

when i first got car i went to dyno day and it made 139kw so i always use that figure :)

I'm with you on this one... ...Went to a Dyno Day at RE Customs and got almost 150kws... ...So I tell people that... ...It's got what it's got...

However... ...If you're a tool in a Comedydor and you ask me at the lights I might just say it's a little shy of 250kws... ...And then let you tear up those sweet looking steel stockies as you try to prove you've got more ba-- *ahem* power... :)

Oh snap. I was going to post that Ash :mad:

I mean I wanted to just get right into it but I thought f*ck it. What the point….

Exactly.

Who cares what power other people claim to have... good for them. If it's not true then they're only fooling themself :yucky:

    • I just bent the ends of my premo plates. It even went through Regency like that after the engine conversion and the inspector (a great bloke!) just squinted his eyes and said "I didn't see that". Plates, and how they look, are just something that have zero importance to me.
    • Yeah, I would have said the same. It makes me suggest that there are other things wrong, such that the ECU is totally unhappy with the broken sensor. The only other thought here is that maybe it is shorted, which might cause a different issue to the typical "disconnected" sensor.
    • The fact that US/JDM plates actually fit the skyline bumpers properly is a big, big thing for me as they are the correct dimensions. Annoyingly you can't opt for a normal plate (or plate combination) in that size. You have to make up your own one, and at that point you'd still know it wasn't randomly assigned. 
    • Well, really, that's any ECU, because it's not so much the ECU that the tuner connects to, but a laptop that's connected to the ECU. You have to have the tuning software installed locally. The "remote" part is essentially just remote desktop (RDP) or VNC type access. Nevertheless, if you're looking to upgrade, then you're immediately in the Haltech/Link territory, both of which can be done by any number of competent tuners here in Oz. But without a dyno, you'll definitely also need a wideband O2 sensor fitted, and you'll probably be relying on "auto" tuning a bit, where you drive it around under various loads and then apply the corrections that the ECU learns (basically applying the fuel trims that the ECU has to do to correct the mixtures). Tuning the timing is a little harder. It can be difficult to trust the old OEM knock sensors on RBs, so it is definitely best to have someone who knows what they're listening for, with knock ears (a piezo microphone connected to the engine, and and little amp and headphones so the listener can hear the angry men with hammers who live in the engine). That is more difficult to do remotely, and I suspect the only sane way is to be quite conservative on timing. But that's OK. You're probably waaaaay better off with conservative timing where you are. What is the fuel situation? 98RON available? Or low grade jungle juice?
    • I see your point, I didn't think too deep into it, was purely focused on the price. There's no bad blood between myself and GSM, they acknowledged the price was cheaper else where and at the time couldn't match it.
