the jap's used nitrous oxide in there fighter planes in world war 2. during a dog fight, the used it to get out of dodgy situations, pretty smart hey

They lost the war, so how smart could it have been?

^^^ True hehe

The Japanese lost...

1) HIRYU

2) AKAGI

3) SORYU and

4) KAGA in June '42 at Midway

Nitrous couldn't help them then, at this turning point in the Pacific.

Were they the small ships? Perhaps pocket battleships?

They were f?%kin CARRIERS!

4 CARRIERS that their planes couldn't return to.

You do realise that the Supermarine Spitfire and P-51 Mustang both had a Rolls Royce V12 engine which had a two speed intercooled supercharger (had a 'scramble' type over boost setting to be used in emergencies), so blower > nawwwws :thumbsup:

um I don't know what historical sources you've been reading/watching/listening to, but Japan was well and truly on the back foot when the bombs dropped - the main purpose of those was to avoid the inevitable war of attrition which would have occured should the Allies have attempted a land invasion of mainland Japan.

I think this is a much better topic that the crap originally started:p

V8's or turbo.... since when do people debate this? Just go out and smoke him and that's the end of it... That's how things have and should always be done.

Remember... all the bullsh!t stops at the track

I'm surprised the bogans haven't reverted to their classic "V8 is a real man's car, coz you need a big set of balls to drive one..." argument yet...

or have they? I haven't being paying much attention.

EDIT: The ultimate power house I reckon should be a nuclear powered car.

well japan was winning the war, america got cold feet and nuked the place. then japan stood down

So what you're saying is that the US went from a losing position to a winning one with the development of that weapon? So who's smarter now?

Wow.....I never thought I'd ever say that an American was smarter than someone else, but to be fair they did import all their brains from Europe.

Bringing the analogy back on topic, battles are nice but winning the war that matters. The Americans won by making 2 massive explosions rather than going for thousands of teeny tiny ones. I guess size does matter.

no America went for 2 huge explosions rather than suffer unimaginable losses in what would have been a very dirty and cruel war on the main islands of Japan; they knew that the Japanese were literally going to fight for every centimetre of ground and would rather die than surrender dishonourably.

I usually taunt V8 drivers by telling them V8s are only good in speedboats lol

      What brakes on R34 GTT(Europe)

      I would just put EBC back on the "I would not use their stuff" pile and move on.

      Can I suggest you try EBC directly again and link them to as many competitor catalogues as you can to show their listing is incorrect, eg https://dba.com.au/product/front-4000-series-hd-brake-rotor-dba42304/ If you have access to an R33 GTST VIN and your VIN, you could also use a Nissan Parts lookup like Amayama to show them the part number is different between 33 GTST and 34 GTT which may get their attention

      What brakes on R34 GTT(Europe)

      By Kapr · Posted

      So i got reply from EBC and they just this site where you can clearly see those 296mm fronts on R34 GTT. I send them photos and "quotes" that 296mm are not for 34 GTT and they are too small. But it will be very hard to return them cuz nobody here knows 100% and they just copy those EBC catalogue :-D https://ebcbrakesdirect.com/automotive/nissan/skyline-r34

      Duncan's V37.......race car?

      From there, it is really just test and assemble. Plug the adapter cables from the unit into the back of the screen, then the other side to the car harness. Don't forget all the other plugs too! Run the cables behind the unit and screw it back into place (4 screws) and you should now have 3 cables to run from the top screen to the android unit. I ran them along the DS of the other AV units in the gap between their backets and the console, and used some corrugated tubing on the sharp edges of the bracket so the wires were safe. Plug the centre console and lower screen in temporarily and turn the car to ACC, the AV should fire up as normal. Hold the back button for 3 sec and Android should appear on the top screen. You need to set the input to Aux for audio (more on that later). I put the unit under the AC duct in the centre console, with the wifi antenna on top of the AC duct near the shifter, the bluetooth antenna on the AC duct under the centre console The GPS unit on top of the DS to AC duct; they all seem to work OK there are are out of the way. Neat cable routing is a pain. For the drive recorder I mounted it near the rear view mirror and run the cable in the headlining, across the a pillar and then down the inside of the a pillar seal to the DS lower dash. From there it goes across and to one USB input for the unit. The second USB input is attached to the ECUtec OBD dongle and the 3rd goes to the USB bulkhead connected I added in the centre console. This is how the centre console looks "tidied" up Note I didn't install the provided speaker, didn't use the 2.5mm IPod in line or the piggyback loom for the Ipod or change any DIP switches; they seem to only be required if you need to use the Ipod input rather than the AUX input. That's it, install done, I'll follow up with a separate post on how the unit works, but in summary it retains all factory functions and inputs (so I still use my phone to the car for calls), reverse still works like factory etc.
