but his laggy manual wasnt hitting boost quick enough, torque converter had him!

got my first funny moment the other night.. driving through campbelltown on the way to the gf's.. pulled up next to a commo v6 who kept edging at the lights.. let him go for a sec then tromped all over it.. 3 guys expressions when they caught up.. priceless!

Nothing will ever beat the look on my mates face when I overtook him sideways on the outside lane of a roundabout.. He didn't believe me Stags could kick the rear out.

Standard 16s FTW, won't do it now on my T1Rs. Time for more power..

I seem to be getting alot more Subaru comments lately rather than Volvo ones.

Dude got offended the other day when i told him it's a Nissan.

He reckons its a Subura body with nissan badges and driveline.

Dumbaass

I get a lot of Subaru comments as well. How dare he claim its a Subaru body? He must have some brain issues that reduce his ability to see shapes properly.

Pretty much for me comments are ranked as follows:

1: Nice Volvo

2: What model Subaru is that?

3: Looks like a Hearse

4: What the f**k is that? (from older people particularly while they stare blankly at the double headed unicorn...)

5: Is that some kind of Falcon or Commodore?

My wife told me a great Volvo story.

Today she was out in the M35 and stopped at a car yard to look at a small car for my daughter who just got her learner's permit.

One of the salesman looks out to the street and says "Yeah, you don't want her driving your nice Volvo".

"It's not a Volvo" my wife says, followed by some puzzled looks on the salesmen's faces.

Then after a very long time one says, "Is that one of them imported Skyline jobs.....?" To which the other one says, "But it's a wagon...?"

I love it! :)

I'm a bit sad today I was told my car was fake!!!!what dose that mean?????he said they never made a skyline wagon?????so much for my autech 260rs.

Classic! :)

Should be able to get out of paying speeding/parking tickets, due to your car not being real...

Question is; if it isn't a car, WTF is it?

my mate attempted to do a brake burnout in my stagea the other night .. i wasnt impressed. however it did have the power to start spining the rear quite easily sporting 245's ..but again wasnt impressed on my brand new 2.2k of tyres.. last time hes driving it :)

Wot if u got an R30? Can I still play???

Lol, I don't mind... :D

Worked with a guy who looked at my old S3 r31 wagon, says "Oh cool, you've got one of those 6 cylinder Pintaras" yeah...

original Lolvo... by PMC or Prince Motor Company. My old man stumbled on a original handbook for one of these - fleabay'd it, it got over $120AUD!

Someone still has one.... somewhere in Japan!

Bit of history for you kids :P

Haha, I had a bit of a chat to the owners of 2 of them while at the "Cars of the World" show a back on November '08.

    • Well, yes, every CU on the bus is available via the Consult port, but whether the scanner you are using is capable of talking to the TCU, the ABS/TCS modules, etc etc, is what is at question here. Many of them are only for engine codes. So, if you have one of those, you won't know if the ABS is having a bitch.
    • That's now. R chassis Skylines come from a time when the tolerance in the ADRs was a bit more....slack. My car, on 235/35-17, which is damn near the exact same size as the original 205/55-16, is pretty much bang on correct indicated speed across the whole legal range. That's demonstrated with constant speed run over 5km, and GPS speed. It's just the luck of the draw. My particular speedo head has to be the thing that is "calibrated" that way, because everything else (the diff ratio, the gearbox and the speedo drive**) are all same same as most other Skylines. **OK, so the speedo drive is a Navara unit to drive the R32's cable, not the electronic unit than an R33/4 would normally have with teh same gear on it. Otherwise, I applaud your OCD tendencies, and I would do the same if I needed to.
    • Not too sure, I believe the Nissan consult port does everything? Also just filled up the reservoir to full and the light is still on. The float seems to move up and down fine.
    • The speedo's can be very conservative, when my Mazda NC MX5 speedo is showing 118kph, the GPS, and a calibrated radar.... cop mate.....hits me at around 110kph +/- 1 or 2 kph, and that is on a 215/45 17, stock tyres size is 205/45 17 as well, so weirdly conservative with stock tyre size When my Commodore speedo red 116kph GPS had me at 110kph on 255/40 17, so again conservative Google says manufacturers need to set the speedo from 4 to 10% slower than actual road speed.....for safety.....and compliance  After doing some offset and clearance measurements to see what can fit the NC on 17x8 +40, without guard rolling or rubbing anything at my current ride height, I've decided that when my tyres are toast, I'm going to fit 225/45 17 and see where that gets me IRT actual speed of my speedo and GPS/radar From the online calculator I should be still be doing around 5kph under an actual 110kph when the speedo is showing 110kph My ADHD requires that when I'm doing 110kph on the speedo, that the actual road speed is actually really close to that, and not alot slower And going from 205 to 225 still keeps the car within the %/mm allowable in the NSW vehicle rules and regulations, which is nice, as long as I'm looking at the latest version that is.....LOL https://www.nsw.gov.au/sites/default/files/2021-02/RMS-13.464-Light-vehicle-modifications-Vehicle-Standards-Information-No-6-November-2013.pdf
    • Take the value it measured as, and pick the closest range available that is above the reading on the screen.   Also, no point just testing the coils. Read what has been said again. You need to test all your wiring, everything.
