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.

      Yeah and hence my ghetto way of slamming the brakes, get the ABS to cycle, rebleed seems to be a sensible workaround.

      Hey! Happy to help. Nothing inherently wrong with the adapter, it's more so with Brett Collins himself. He gave me a lot of incorrect information when I was in contact with him and was extremely rude when I challenged him. He stated I could not use any aftermarket twin plate clutches except for his own, not to use the dush shield, bla bla bla and it was all BS.  Collins stated to cut roughly 14mm's off the housing, I took off 15mm to make room for the dust shield. I would confirm with whatever adapter manufacturer you're using.

      There's plenty of OEM steering arms that are bolted on. Not in the same fashion/orientation as that one, to be sure, but still. Examples of what I'm thinking of would use holes like the ones that have the downward facing studs on the GTR uprights (down the bottom end, under the driveshaft opening, near the lower balljoint) and bolt a steering arm on using only 2 bolts that would be somewhat similarly in shear as these you're complainig about. I reckon old Holdens did that, and I've never seen a broken one of those.

      Let's be honest, most of the people designing parts like the above, aren't engineers. Sometimes they come from disciplines that gives them more qualitative feel for design than quantitive, however, plenty of them have just picked up a license to Fusion and started making things. And that's the honest part about the majority of these guys making parts like that, they don't have huge R&D teams and heaps of time or experience working out the numbers on it. Shit, most smaller teams that do have real engineers still roll with "yeah, it should be okay, and does the job, let's make them and just see"...   The smaller guys like KiwiCNC, aren't the likes of Bosch etc with proper engineering procedures, and oversights, and sign off. As such, it's why they can produce a product to market a lot quicker, but it always comes back to, question it all.   I'm still not a fan of that bolt on piece. Why not just machine it all in one go? With the right design it's possible. The only reason I can see is if they want different heights/length for the tie rod to bolt to. And if they have the cncs themselves,they can easily offer that exact feature, and just machine it all in one go.
