I got to drive my Line today

[B-Man]

Very Happy today.

Finally got to drive my Line today. Went to the compliance place to have a look and take some digi pics. The guy says, here's the keys, take it for a burn - Just don't let cops see you (no rego / plates) .

Started her up - sounds sweet . Cat back 3" (Maybe 3.5") system - very straight too. Looks like it has 2 resonators and no muffler - Also Apexi type pod filter.

1st gear - whooosh second gear (standard BOV vents back thru the pod) - I plant it in 2nd - boost cuts in......, then rear wheels lose traction (is this normal) ??? Was on a normal road.

Decide to take her back to the shop (only got to third gear)

Took a look around - Luv the wheels 17" 6 spoke - R brand (R in Red) too dark to see it properly. Suspension very low & hard - Front spoiler has been scraped a little.

Rear bumper has mark on it - looks a like rope mark where they tied it down on the ship.

The car is filthy - needs a good detail.

Apexi S-AFC included - I think it is an old one - It's got 5 (or so knobs on the front - Dunno if this is any good.

Alll in all very happy.... And I get to tak it home in a week after engineering - Can't drive it tho, gotta wait for comp plates to come in. But while I'm waiting, the stereo will go in, and it will be getting a mega detail........

Cheers all - It's been a long wait !!

[sidewaymambo]

congrates..the wheels look sexy!!

[PranK]

brendan - yeah with a good clutch you can snap thirds quite easily... hitting third hard in my car will send the back across the next lane.

the S-AFC, yeah thats the older model - still a VERY good unit, take it to mark at hills (see my sig) for tuning, he'll look after you.

Christian.

Oh and congrats.

[Brody]

Ure going to have cravings to have it again now

When i first got mine, middle of the nite i'd wake up and think "cars is just outside...hmmm i wanna take it for a run"

Hills have my vote as well.

The pics are pretty (rap - bad light and the car is filthy, but you will get the idea !!

[DLuded]

VERY VERY nice indeed

[Majanal]

Very Nice... I really wanted a silver one... maybe next time.

I know what you'll be going through now. The last week, week and a half was the worst for me. It had been SOOOOO long and there was SOOOO little time left... it seemed to take as long as the 2 months before hand!

Look forward to seeing it in the metal!!!

[kabab]

Dude the first thing your going to want to do is get a Powerfc in there and get someone good to tune it !!

[B-Man]

Yeah - and a FMIC, Boost Controller, Dump Pipe. Hi Flow'd Turbo.

Then I'll be happy !!!

Cheers,

prank - what sort of mods have you got???? I can't even get wheelspin in 2nd when driving it hard (I only have a cat back exhaust) - is this normal?

[Majanal]

Black33,

It depends on plenty of things.

I have 162rwkw and can spin second sometimes third in the dry but my tyres are now pretty shot... when they were new 255/40 17's I had to push pretty hard to spin first (ie, give it 5 grand and sidestep the clutch!)

Do you only have zorst? do you also have wider wheels on the back? more rubber on the road means harder to spin.

[REDGTT]

well done brendanf. I hope the skyline brings you many years of safe and happy driving and congrats on owning a very very sexy car.

define "hard"?? :lol:

Seconds should be easy...unless you have some very good quality rubber on the back
