my car is a good car and has been from the start thank you very much.

So how'd those new knock sensors go with the PFC?

As for doing skids, I'll rip em on the spot to finish a set of tyres of, but I much prefer throwing the car aroundo n the skid pan, sliding here and there.

good lesson to be learnt here. as quoted by one of the local cops down here.

"skids are fine, i dont have a problem with them, as long as your doing it somewhere safe where noone can get hurt (ie dragstrip, middle of nowhere)"

i guess you city boys havnt got as much choice as we do out here, but even still. keep em away from harm and away from harming your dignity :P.

That's a matter of perspective, which is my point.

After all, that's what hardparking Civic drivers say about their rides too.

LOl, get your hardparking on yo!

well i got a non turbo skyline and well i hate it.

i only got it cause 1) it looks nice 2) was affordable and in my price range 3) p plate laws

nothing else with same looks/handling/power was in that price range (except hondas which you will never see me own one)

p.s im going to forced induction soon, cant freaken waittttttttttttttt!

you can still do skids in a non turbo, just not as hecticly smokey as the turbo boys&girls.

    • Didnt realise RB's had more then 1 head.
    • I'm normally copping my own abuse from neglecting my daily drivers. "Those suspension bushes will last a bit more", "Don't worry about the oil leak, just keep topping it up". The project cars I'm always doing things slowly on them as I'm wanting them to be done better, and neater, and nicer. Luckily I don't have to deal with 18 year old Matt's "Learning to wire" stuff in the project cars. And there's only one piece of wiring I'm displeased about in the Landcruiser, and it's about to be cut out... However, the box loads of parts that have been going through this place lately for the Landcruiser... Brake pads Brake Rotors Full handbrake overhaul Wheel Bearings Seals Swivel hubs Steering Boxes Half the suspension joints Shocks Air bags (Ones to go in the rear springs for towing) Water pump Timing kit Lower timing case Harmonic Balancer Radiator Lots of other little seals and shits Gas struts for the bonnet New power window switches And god knows what else I've forgotten... Ha ha ha I have my fingers crossed the pinion seals don't start leaking on the diffs, that the transfer case doesn't leak, and the gearbox input shaft doesn't leak, nor the rear main seal. As they're about the only seals I haven't replaced in the driveline! I'm seriously eyeing off buying new caliper rebuild kits front and rear brake calipers... I'll probably recheck all the valve clearances soon too, and hopefully, it should be all good and sweet to haul some long distance trips again!
    • Every time I pull my 3x gauges out of the console and see the crack-addict way that I did the wiring, and I just can't bring myself to tear it all apart and "make it nice", because it is currently working. In fact, the last time I was in there I probably made it worse.
    • The best part is when you own the car long enough that you look back and find your OWN ham fisted amateur shit!
    • The annoying part about neglect, is when you start to replace one thing, and find ten more broken things. Ham fisted monkey repairs you normally only find out about when trying to do something unrelated! Ha ha   Neglect you can kind of anticipate the huge costs to fix it all. Ham fistedness is normally a shock the first time your work on a new old car, as everything "looked" good before.
