Hey Keir, you probably won't get a really positive response to that in this section of the forum.

Personally, I don't think its some of your best work, we all get grief at some point driving imports, because of the "guilt by association" reputation they have. This is EXACTLY how it happens. I like a burnout as much as the next guy, but faark, in the street? Youtube? How original. Great piece of footage for Today Tonight's next "Import Driving Hoons" story.

I'll be honest with you, if you did that in my street; I'd tell you to piss off and take it to a track. If I saw you do it again, I'd be giving your rego to the police.

We all have a responsibility to think a little bit about this kind of thing, otherwise, the cars, and the lifestyle we love will be taken away by simpering, sooky, politicians looking for an easy vote. Then you'll be driving a bloody Camry wondering how it all went so wrong.

That said, hope the rebuild goes well, looking forward to seeing some pics of it ON A TRACK!

this was in the back quarter of an industrial area in the middle of the night in a dead end street. he spent 30 minutes trying to find the most out of the way place on location on a return test drive.. my mate couldnt help himself.

daleo - fair call i cant understand where your coming from. - it was reckless..

i actually wasnt driving. :whistling:

was the first night we got it boosting right.. and my mate decided he was keen to see if it could finally boost a burnout.

its actually from weeks ago i wasnt going to post it but thought it was amusing. :)

i shouldve gone with my first hunch and not posted this.. heh

This took on a bit of a life of its own eh?

I'm the first to admit to some monumentally stupid car behaviour in the past, some of the other posts give the impression they've never done a skid.

You won't get any more criticism from me.

Get going on that rebuild.

Cheers, Dale

The fact that this is "in the back quarter of an industrial area in the middle of the night in a dead end street" is no excuse - it's still on the street and as has been said, it's videos and posts like these that bring a bad name to the whole car community, especially Skylines.

    • I wasn’t able to replicate the sound anymore. It was a one time sound so maybe it was just coincidence but it was like small pebbles being dropped in a coke can.   should I try cleaning the MAF? It could be it’s functioning but dirty? I don’t know.
    • Update 4: Hi all. The car drives again! Haven't driven for long, only to store it in the garage again, but the test drive was successful. The coolant and oil leaks seem to be fixed for now. Temps on the engine were also very good, while moving I never even saw 80C water during the approx. 30 minute drive. Ate up all the coolant in the reservoir though so will have to fill that even more when I go to the car next time. One thing that pisses me off is that the RPM gauge is still f**ked, I even resoldered the board twice and used copper paste on the silly screws that are used as connections. Next time I take it out I'll take apart the board and fit new components, I'll see if I can get a replacement IC for it.  I have an appointment set for 22nd of September for the engine tune to 370hp. Alignment also still needs to be done. My hope is that I can get all the legal stuff over with by the end of this season. Anyone of you have advice regarding intercoolers? Currently there is an APEXI core fitted, one of those weird hybrid ones, 600x270x76. I don't think it's bad but it's not new and now I still have the chance to change it now to legally include it in the paperwork. Only issue is that the only options that would arrive in time are a HKS Type R intercooler or generic Ebay spec intercoolers comparable to a JustJap one. Ideally I'd order a Plazmaman but it takes over a month to receive which would mean making the car legal has to wait until next season. Would love to hear some input on this. Same story for my injectors, the previous owner was a nunce and put ID 1050x on the engine. They work but are obviously not ideal at "normal" power levels. But I don't see a reason to change them unless the tuner says it's necessary. I read online before buying a different exhaust that the top secret style rear diffusers won't fit due to the size of the rear resonators. My buddy and I made it work by slightly "adjusting the shape" of the mounting bracket and making some spacers out of 3d print for the mounting bolts. Fits like a charm. Just putting this here in case someone has this problem. Even the hefty HKS Silent Hi Power rear can fits without hitting anything.
    • Well they got my money but they are not getting my gearbox ! 
    • It's needed for rolling idle up, and I think it is a decider on VCT also.
    • I mean, not really. Link ECU's can absolutely still have errors from the ECU thinking it's getting a sensor it's not expecting. I would imagine the speed at the ECU level in Nistune does absolutely nothing anyway? I assume the ECU does not do any fancy TC stuff with regards to front+rear wheel speed or anything of that like anyway. Someone who uses Nistune may be more fluent in it.
