Ha!ROFLMAO! Black Thunder,you say?Classic!I wonder if the horrible media types at Black Thunder Central(104.7)have more respect for the fabled stove taillights...Or maybe they'll jump on the rising wave of stereotyping and label your car,and all of ours,"killer Skylines"?

Dont worry Jayce, wasnt in the 'line, not giving them any bait, but i dont think the Daihatsu Applause owners club would be too happy with me...

And just to add my two cents to the whole P plate death thing, im pretty sure i read in the paper that the p plate accidents causing death/serious injury number has gone down over the last few years, so mayb these days they're either doing it more spectacularly (sp?) or the media is building it up more, personally i think its a combination of the two

Helllllllllooooooooo I'm still here, just got the suspension changed in my 34 today actually. So I'll be spending a little more time driving it around now. I have some sad news though, I'm moving

Blew the cobwebs out of @Sinista32 last Sunday for a few hours. It's great to get the passion back every so often

No you just tried to give him a run. Stop telling us how you are driving like a dickhead.

"im really fired up over this whole bullshit debate, a young guy crashes his import and all of a sudden left wing pinkos come out with these ideas"

Sorry veilsider r33, You are giving the "Left Wing Pinkos" a bad name.

The media and the Govt are doing the job well enough. (of demonising Skyline owners)

My opinion - the power is in the head and the foot of the driver. Self Control of both. It's not an age issue, not a gender issue, not a type of car/truck/bus/train/plane/tredly issue, not just an experience issue either. It's a common sense issue.

Some times sh!t happens. Prepare yourself to deal with consequences when you make choices. Then get over it and move on - if you live!

Even the worlds best race car drivers have accidents and not all survive.

All living things including Humans take risks.

PS.

I didn't show commonsense recently and I've been driving for 25 years. It easily could have been my GTR on the front of the CT last week. So I am not a P Plater and I'm not young, hence I disagree with you both.

It could then be argued that common sense comes with age but point in fact - it doesn't. We oldfolk just start taking less and more calculated risks.

I agree with you Richard...

Its all about choices...

Were all crazy drivers sometimes, but some people just think if they put there foot to the floor, they will look cooler or some crap...

Knowing what my car can do, i do limit myself to things and im prob talking for alot of people here. Some people just have not grown up yet to realise "CARS" do kill!

Sounds like Fred Flintstone's car.

Anyway I disagree, I tried using my head on the accelerator once and there were problems seeing over the dash. Took me ages to get the ding out of the front bar where it nudged the wall when I was reversing...

Spotted this morning while taking my GTR back to have the air cond fixed

Hi Danooh;

Mind if I ask where you are getting it fixed and if you're happy with the outcome? My compressor (make that the car's compressor) is making wierd ass noises, might be a bearing. My ass sometimes makes wierd compressor noises too but I'm not goin' there...

Anyway would be good to take it somewhere that's worked on them before.

Cheers

      M35 Brake caliper replacement

      By Waders360 · Posted

      Hi from Canada, Both of my calipers are starting to fail. My car is a 2005 M35 Stagea ARX and I can't seem to find any parts or any cross reference caliper that would fit my car. Is there a company or a similar caliper that would fit and I could replace the OEM one. Or if anyone knows where I can find a new OEM. Any help is very appreciated. Let me know!

      S1 rb25/s14 starting problem

      By 25zenki · Posted

      Maf is a question mark but TPS  I have set at 0.47, the fact that I’m getting proper voltage range out of it with the key on leads me to believe it’s functioning properly. I’m getting proper voltages on basically everything. I still need to look up voltage ranges for z32 maf and test that

      S1 rb25/s14 starting problem

      By 25zenki · Posted

      Honestly no not at all, but it’s a very basic tune, it’s stock injectors q45 tps and z32 maf. Other than that it’s a completely stock base map. The file is from nistune and from my understanding if it was tune related I would be able to unplug maf and tps and it would still start even if it was a really shitty start. I have tried starting it with coolant temp, maf, and tps unplugged none of those 3 togethor or individually changes anything

      What does it look like with highway driving? And yes, I had a similar thought as Duncan. It looks quite similar in my Stagea and I have made myself accept it as normal. Might have to look into it some day   Highway gets as low as 10l/100km on my end so I'm not as worried about it being a mechanical issue. More likely just the tune on the haltech.
