not bad for a self propelled lifesize replica of a jelly bean... does it have any weapons?

-D

nice car :)

i was worried it'd be a two door lancer with altezza lights, 18inch cromies and a gay droid body kit :cheers:

phew!

yeah i thought i would stick to a 2.5Lt turbo instead. the Altezza light lancers were tempting.

nearly already traded it in on a renault megane cup

Looking good nick lol at hairdresser when you coming over to cut my hair

those reno's are good too from factory they boost good and handling is exceptional went for a cruise through the gorge once with a heap of skylines and none of the rwd could keep up and even i was struggling

dont even go there luke at least he got the huffer version

yeah sam have to admit i have been driving it briskly lately and haven't had any issue even at rbt's ect

liking the "launch control" too (holds it at 3500RPM in 1st as that the best RPM for a launch with reduced torque steering)

through the hills point to point it would easily out do skylines.

Andrew can vouch for the handling through the round abouts the other day

Nice car nick! :cheers:

Contemplated getting one of these for my current lease through work, but just not quite enough room for all the gear when we go away with the little one so ended up with the Liberty GT instead. Was rather impressed by the equipment list they have, nice looking german rocket!

hahaha hairdressers car :cheers:

All jokes aside, she is a nice car mate. And yes, I certainly can vouch that they go very hard - would easily crucify a stocky R33, and would toast even a pretty well set up mild R33 through the hills!

Is this comparing it against an R33 GTR V-Spec Series III? Which is about the same price bracket... or comparing with an R34 GTR within the same year? or an R32 GTR modified to the same value?

lol they go pretty good :cheers: my boss as work just got 1, let me drive it when it had just 60ks on the clock.

im trying to con her into coming to fnf drive in antics in it.

is it a new 1? the lv?

i hear the clutches dont let you do a burnout though something engages and prevents it.

does yours put the hazards on when you brake hard?

lol youll be joining these forums soon then

14.4 quarter aint bad for a fwd, lil rolling start would help em spank a few decent cars.

Good to see u can connect to interweb again Nick. Nice pick up....any plans for any basic mods?

...and here I thought you were taking it easy due to havin a car load :D. The Megane sports makes the cutest bov sound and they do handle pretty well through the hills, but there have been instances when their Brembo brakes may experience serious brake fade on downhill sections :) and struggle when a particular silver rwd R33 pushes it to its paces.

    • So I actually had the cover off my car today, here is a (bad) pic of the setup. I have an oil cooler thermostat block, the temp sender is straight in there. The pressure sender has a short AN line to a T piece which is mounted (hopefully cable tied counts as mounted....) on the chassis. BTW every fitting you could ever imagine exists....just depends what they cost and how many you need. Raceworx AN adapters are here: https://raceworks.com.au/fittings/adapters/, I think you said you need BSPT to AN (https://raceworks.com.au/fittings/adapters/bsp/tapered/an-to-bspt-adapters/) and AN to NPT (https://raceworks.com.au/fittings/adapters/npt/) BTW, braided line is super simple to make. It looks intimidating, is not.
    • Perfect day for a pie, really needs a soft top in this weather though
    • Prime parking, she is a little girl...LOL
    • I'm actually not sure - I think it was "Stealth Performance" (It really is near impossible to find a FEMALE 1/8BSPT to 1/8NPT male at ALL) but having the thing leveraged on a 90 degree angle on a small aluminium fitting is not too smart. Also in not too smart, I've drilled out the center of the broken fitting so there's maybe 0.00001mm of thread to bite into, so yeah. I may have to get it drilled/tapped/plugged entirely. Given I could conceivably tap a thread/adapter/pressure line in any point in the oil system I suppose it's feasible to run a line to the Nissan Sensor to keep the dash working. Do these exist in AN fittings and the like? Like an AN fitting that has a NPT (or other?) thread as well for putting a sensor in?
    • I would agree.  There will be an amount of boost you could run safely with an otherwise factory system, but it would be low enough to not be worth the cost.  And if you are reliving your 20s, you know a 'little bit' was never enough. Personally, if I didn't want to spend the money, then stick with NA bolt-ons, and maybe a tune.
