Yeah ... only do 3 burnouts at the MotoGP, not 4!

:laugh:

Lol.... nice one

but am I the only dude out there who doesnt see the point of burnouts? *blinks* even a fwd can do a burnout and all yr doing is destroying a functional piece of the car that costs a decent amount of cash...

Or maybe Im just associating burnouts with commodores and hence bogans and inbreeding ;\

-D

after pricing new tires for my car, I dont see how people can afford burnouts with big rims, or why they do them on a rough street.

the way i see it ,$ 500++ for two cheapy tires min just for them to go up in smoke and dust,,, stupid as hell.it doesnt impress me at all

not to mention the other parts it trashes.

anyone want my 18" Impul rims with bridgestone tires some tread left, 30% or so,,, Im going down to 17" for cheap tires. how do the tires companies think 1 inch taller demands 4 or more times the price for the same tires? rip off, supply and demand gone wrong

or running so much dial in on the front wheels the tires only ride on the first few Cm,,, hello its a street car

oh and scandy I know a female , who has the other 4 matching tires to that one driving around christies in a white ford. with unbelted kids in the car no less, oh and she got pulled over for no rego and let go? bragging it up how she got off ...life isnt fair..lol

Cars are a different story.

I use to throw old track day tyres from my race bike onto my TLR. These tyres had "gone off" for track use, meaning it had plenty of tread, but the compound wouldn't withstand track abuse anymore. So I had another set of these to throw on when I got home. I get double the use out of bike tyres, so I can afford to do burnouts. :ermm:

... just gotta remember to leave enough tread to get home :thumbsup:

... just gotta remember to leave enough tread to get home :)

see you learn your lesson..lol that would suck dog balls to walk a bike in the middle of nowhere..lol

I was just shitty after hearing the dicounted price ???for 18" tires in OZ..lol in my days I used to fry up some tires , on my datto 1200 with skinny 5" retread tires on 12" rims.but I was 16 then..lol

and yes I called for the SAU price too..lol

a burnout from a commo at the lights is gay, but some big block wielding monaro throwing it around like it was a fiesta, smoke absolutely pooring off the rears is enough point for me to like burnouts lol gazznats ftw

Guest CleanAndSimple

congrats on getting threw first time, havent really heard of that much.

and to burnouts, negative on that one, i work at a tire store and i dont do burnouts or drift. grip is where its at ;)

its amazing the amount of imports i see needing new tires not because of burnouts, but because of there camber, looks fine on one side but steel belts on the other (at least it would get thew the normal cops)

was something like $137...

you sit down at a chair just infront of the car

First thing he does is check all indicators/lights, seat belts, pop the boot+bonnet etc

The guy hardly looked in the engine bay - looked completely standard for him to bother I guess.

He spent the most time under the car - hoisted the car up and went straight to the rear where the hicas is and looked around there, looked at the bushings and components around each wheel, he then jacked the front up and had a crow bar looking thing pushing the wheel up - may of been testing the shocks? or bearings?

No exhaust decibel check - was quiet enough.

Did a brake test for front and rear - sigh of relief when the word PASS went up on the screen lol

After all that he just mentioned the passenger seat was moving about a smidge - need to tighten a bolt down or something, but apart from that everythings good. He removes sticker, signed it off and away I go.

All up from arriving to the front office to exit took no more than 30 minutes.

Agree with you there, I don't see any point in burn outs either.

Waste of tires = waste of $. Also you must be on drugs if you like the smell of burnt rubber...

I probably have better fun just flushing $ down the toilet.

Doesn't cost me a cent when I do burnouts on the bike :P

... car, no! Bike, yes.

    • LOL.... a good amount of people (not all) on that continent seem to know everything and like to measure things in bananas, football fields, statue of liberties instead of the metric system lol.
    • I assume the modules are similar enough, so if you've had no issues I don't see why I would. I have tried to find a wiring diagram for the FPCM / fuel pump circuit, but I can't find it anywhere. Otherwise, I would just do some wire cutting and joining at the FPCM and give the 12 V supplied to the FPCM directly to the pump instead. If you know anyone that could help with wiring diagrams, I'd be very happy  
    • If it dies, then bypass. The task isn't difficult. I have one running on a standard R32 FPCM. That's after nearly 20 years of it running an 040, which pull substantially more current than the Walbro. They're not the same module, but I'd hope it indicates that the R33 one should be man enough for the job. I think people kill them when putting proper sized pumps on them, not these little toy pumps we're talking about here.
    • Silicone spray won't hurt anything. And if it does, that's an opportunity to put some solid steel spherical bushings in, so you can really learn what suspension noise sounds like, If you're going to try it, just spray one bush at a time, so you can work out which one is actually noisy. My best guess is that if the noise started only since putting the coilovers in, then it is just noise being transmitted up through the top mounts of the struts, and not necessarily "new" noise from bushes. But it's almost impossible to know.
    • Are you saying the 34 is SUV height, and not that we're talking about an SUV here? (because if we're talking about an SUV, you don't fix them. You just replace them when something breaks. Not worth establishing sufficient emotional connection with an SUV to warrant doing any work on one). I wouldn't jack my car up on a short little loop of 10mm steel rod poking out through a hole in the bumper bar, front or rear end. I realise that we're probably not talking about that type of loop at the front, being the one under/behind the bar on a Skyline.... but even for that one, trying to jack up on what amounts to a thin piece of steel, designed purely for withstanding a horizontal tension force, not a vertical compressive force (and so would be prone to buckling/crushing) and, my most particular bitch about it - located RIGHT AT THE EXTREME FRONT OF THE CAR, applying a load up through the radiator support panel, etc, with almost the entire mass of the car cantilevered between there and the rear wheels? Nope. Not doing that. Not on the regular. That structure out there in front of the front crossmember is not designed to carry load in the vertical direction. Not really designed to carry any load at all, really. The chassis rail that the tow point is connected to would be fine loaded in tension, as per towing. Not intended to carry the mass of the whole car, especially loaded all on one rail, with twisting and all sorts of shitty load distribution going on. No, I will happily drive up on some pieces of wood, thanks. That can only happen on driven wheels, and they are at the other end of the car, and this problem does not exist at that end of the car. And even then, I have been known to drive up on at least 1x piece of 2x8 each side at the rear, simply to reduce the amount of jack pumping necessary to get the car up high enough for the jack stands. What really really shits me about Skylines is the lack of decent places for chassis stands at either end of the car. You'd think they'd be designed into the crossmembers.
