hey wassup guys i have recently invested in a n/a r34 and the question i want to know is why are all people that buy commodores so ignorant to n/a skyline owners? i have since met people that say "whats the point of buying a skyline thats not even turboed' (hence quoted by a commonwhore driver) they also said "my car would beat any n/a skyline in 1st".

So what i want to know is why are most commonwhore drivers ignorant to n/a skyline owners? and how should i deal with this person that i have to work with and if you guys have had any problems with this issue.

cheers jarrod

Just like to say that i've got a bombadore and all its good for is burnouts and first gear drifting although fun definatly no where near as good as any nissan, i've got everything done to it, its a six as well n/a and the shit box cant even do second and i've gone through 3 gear boxes trying lol what kind of car is that a joke maybe but seriously shit anyway if i didn't LOVE GTR's so much i'd have a gts as well but i guess you get what you pay for, as for the people givin ya a hard time just bring up bathurst and the whole 91 and 92 supremesy NISSAN OWENED THEM ALL, as an engine though the neo kills any ecotec and after market support is in the fist fulls so just pump a bit of coin into it then tell them man up on the quater. FAITH in the "dan u" 'nis' "san" piece icon10.gif

other than the fact that you sound like a muppet, i think you need to learn how to do skids better. commodores are the in thing where i live and i've seen plenty of them able to fry second gear.

also you would know that commodore gearing is much taller than skyline gearing, hence why it is slightly harder to do skids in higher gears.

and the nissan winning at bathurst thing is pretty pointless as anyone with half a brain knows that you can't directly compare a full blown group A car to a road car

but back on topic, the easiest thing to say to a commodore driver is "have you ever driven one? and when they say no, reply with "well until you have actually driven one, you aren't exactly in a position to say whether they are good or not. racing against one doesn't mean a thing because that person may not have been able to drive for shit"

I say the exact same thing. The only NA Skylines worth buying are V35 350GTs or KPGC10s.

So what i want to know is why are most commonwhore drivers ignorant to n/a skyline owners?

Ignorant? They're not the guys who bought a non turbo R34. Giving you crap for it, as impolite as it is, puts them on the correct side of the "should I have bought a RBxxDE powered car?" question.

ffs, not another one of these threads. :P

+1 ;)

its a stupid comparison, how can u compare a 4litre car to a 2.5lt, even tho a lot of N/A skylines can do better than commodores. and for v8 drivers complaining about turbo being "cheating" is jus stupid. the fact that a well tuned 2.5 straight 6 can beat a 5.7 or 6lt v8 is too much for them to take..

f*&k, wat am i tlkin about,,jus read the other thread about this.

+ 1 on the pointless RBXXDE argument - Its like when Miss R34 had her car at the local car show, and a fair few people were interested in it (bogans) until a mate told em that it was a NON turbo lol.

:)

Even with the bonnet open at a car show they probably wouldnt be able to tell the difference

lol well they assumed that with all the fancy wheels, graphics and front bar that it had to be something special, they were disappointed though lol.

To me having an N/A other than a Dirty 30 classic Skyline or V35 is kind of like doing a chick who's had a double masectomy. Sure its a female still, but it's just not the same, and it feels like there are a few things missing.

      RB26DETT Sketchy boost mod?

      By ARB26 · Posted

      So could it be assumed it has been installed intentionally with potentially a power FC boost controller kit?

      What should I do next to hold the head on

      By Gareth87 · Posted

      Had my rig on Matt's dyno at PITS the other day. After a few years between tunes I added a few sensors and swapped intercoolers. Result. 553hp at 26psi. Not bad for an FJ20 that was built in 2007. The problem.. It filled the overflow bottle on hard runs which leads me to believe the head gasket isn't sealing. I have a coolant pressure sensor which was reading cap pressure at 22psi and occasionally overrunning to 23/24 psi on deceleration after a pull. It was not spiking. It has arp2000 head studs and a cometic gasket. As its been 18 years in service, I pulled the engine out and head off. Everything looks good but we obviously have an issue. Where I'm at.. Years ago I had the same issue, I checked the stud tension and they were all over the place. Some at 60 to 70 and some up near 90. I nipped them all to 100ft lbs and this stopped the water push until now. I believe this compromised the gasket back then. What do I do? 2 options are..  1) I bought arp 625+s, which I could put in with a new gasket. Thinking Kameari this time, reassemble and try again. 2) strip the block, get fire rings machined in with copper gasket and try that. I do not want to push it more than 28 to 30psi. I think the turbo will be out by then anyway. (G30-770). My other concern is the long term ability of a copper head gasket. Are they streetable for years? I feel like a new gasket with the new studs will probably suffice, but I don't know. Any thoughts welcome and advice on copper gaskets and fire rings. Thanks!

      I'm a fan of the JZX110, and the Aristo. Big cruiser cars, and with the factory cars, super comfortable and feel like you're driving an armchair! And the JZ motors are a pretty nice engine too, especially with some basic mods.   The import process, and the need to be able to trust people, and the fact there's so many scammers around is what ever puts me off wanting to go through that ordeal!

      I don't care for these at all, but at least the underside looks straight and not rusty. A good basis for a long life. Many cars from Japan have been lifted with forklifts and f**ked almost irrepairably.

      RB26DETT Sketchy boost mod?

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      Yes, but it's not dumb or dodgy. You can build a perfectly good boost controller from a pressure reg, a relief valve (looks same same as a reg if all from Norgren or SMC, for example) and a check valve. I ran one for years. Only superceded with  EBC because I could get one for cheaps and wanted finer control.   THis mod is certainly not a sketchy boost mod, provided the boost is kept below the "spin to death" threshold of the turbos.
