lolz whats goon? is it cask wine?

Yep.

So long as you have the correct decals and of course the turbo muffler..... nuffin' is going to touch ya!

It's important to list all the best performance parts in the world on your front guard, especially if you don't have them. The decal is as good as the actual part down the quarter.

Any nuclear waste left overs is good enough I say... no need to go into the effort of breeding mutant cows.

i just had a thought. if i get together with a few other people with dragons we could start hijacking trucks carrying uranium by stealing their trailers while they are driving along. i saw something similar on a movie. i think it was called "the trucks that kept getting hijacked"

what about feeding it straight uranium or enriched uranium (bit harder to get and more expensive)?

If you can get the power up to 1.21gigawatts (should be easy if you stick a big cam and roller rockers in it, along with a Holley tunnel ram) then you can drive it into the future and get a Mr Fusion conversion.

Wow, hasn't been closed so I thought I'd add.

By your cousins reasoning, even having 4 valves per cylinder is fake.

It's all about efficiency. Making an engine more efficient is the key. They used to think having more cylinders and bigger capacity was the way to do it. Turbochargers only make up for the lack of cylinders and make an engine more efficient. Honda perfected engine efficiency in their S2000 engine which was stated earlier.

Tell your cousin that when he can stop his knuckles from dragging on the ground for a second, he will be halfway to being equiped to make an arguement.

But remember....never argue with an idiot, he will drag you down to his level and beat you with experience.

I would only drive a v8 bored out to 10 cylinders, and twin-big-single turbo charged.

Hahahahahaha! Are you gonna smelt down the V8 to construct this V10?

I'm gonna bore my Skyline out to a Ferrari.

I remember that Zelda cartoon! It was part of the Mario Brothers cartoon wasn't it?

I still cant get over "fake power" lol.

Nah steam power is where it's at. A Commodore SS Ute can haul it's own 'coal bunker' about in the back. That is REAL power, non of this soft as internal combustion engine cr@p. :P

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

      By MBS206 · Posted

      Even more fun, leave all the ADAS stuff plugged in, but in different locations, hopefully avoid any codes!   And honestly, all these new cars with their weird electronics. Pull all the electronics out Duncan, and just shove an aftermarket ECU and if needed a trans controller in, along with a PDM. Make it run basic but race car styled!

      To follow up a question from earlier too since I had the front bar off again (fking!) This is what is between the bumper and the drivers side wheel And this is the navigator side, only one thing but its a biggy! So basically....no putting coolers in the wheel arches without a lot of moving other stuff. Assuming I move to properly race prepping this car I'll take that job on and see how the computers respond to removing a whole bunch of ADAS modules

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

      By Duncan · Posted

      So I prepped the car for another track day on Wednesday (will be interesting to see coolant temps post flushing out and the larger reservoir, with a forecast of 3-14 being 20o cooler than last time I took it out). Couple of things to mention; since I am just driving the car and not taking a support vehicle, I took the rear seats out and just loaded the back up Team Trackday style. Look at all that space! To cover off removing the rear seat....it is weird (note the hybrid is probably different because it wouldn't have folding rear seats) Basically, you remove the lower seat base, very similar to a r series but it is a clip that pulls forward to release the base rather than it being bolted down. Easy Then, you need to remove the side section of the rear seat on each side. There is a 14mm head nut at the bottom of the side piece, the it slides upwards off a hook at the top to release; you also need to unhook the seatbelt from the loop at the top. Then the centre piece is weird. You need to release/fold the seats forward with the tab in the boot on each side From there, there are 2,x12mm headed bolts holding the rear of each seat to the folding bracket, under the trim between the rear seat and the boot (4x christmas tree clips there, they suck). The seat is out but you can see where the bolts attach to the bracket

      As discussed in the previous post, the bushes in the 110 needed replacing. I took this opportunity to replace the castor bushes, the front lower control arm, lower the car and get the alignment dialled in with new tyres. I took it down to Alignment Motorsports on the GC to get this work done and also get more out of the Shockworks as I felt like I wasn't getting the full use out of them.  To cut a very long story short, it ended up being the case the passenger side castor arm wouldn't accept the brand new bush as the sleeve had worn badly enough to the point you could push the new bush in by hand and completely through. Trying a pair of TRD bushes didn't fix the issue either (I had originally gone with Hardrace bushes). We needed to urgently source another castor arm, and thankfully this was sourced and the guys at the shop worked on my car until 7pm on a Saturday to get everything done. The car rides a lot nicer now with the suspension dialled in properly. Lowered the car a little as well to suit the lower profile front tyres, and just bring the car down generally. Eternally thankful for the guys down at the shop to get the car sorted, we both pulled big favours from our contacts to get it done on the Saturday.  Also plugged in the new Stedi foglights into the S15, and even from a quick test in the garage I'm keen to see how they look out on the road. I had some concerns about the length of the LED body and whether it'd fit in the foglight housing but it's fine.  I've got a small window coming up next month where I'll likely get a little paint work done on the 110 to remove the rear wing, add a boot wing and roof wing, get the side skirt fixed up and colour match the little panel on the tail lights so that I can install some badges that I've kept in storage. I'm also tempted to put in a new pair of headlights on the 110.  Until then, here's some more pictures from Easter this year.

      I would put a fuel pressure gauge between the filter and the fuel rail, see if it's maintaining good fuel pressure at idle going up to the point when it stalls. Do you see any strange behavior in commanded fuel leading up to the point when it stalls? You might have to start going through the service manual and doing a long list of sensor tests if it's not the fuel system for whatever reason.
