How come you don't have it now?

I stupidly decidedly to go through a yellow light, guy sitting in the middle of the intersection assumed I wouldn't so he started to cut across (he was turning right) and realised I was still coming so he just stopped dead in the middle of my lane, brakes on VLs not so good... Live and learn, I don't risk it with yellow lights anymore and I keep my distance because when it comes down to it, chances are your brakes aren't gonna be as good as you expect them to be.

Oh and this was only a 40/50kmh hit by the time I'd braked, massive kick in the roof, whole chassis twisted.

My parents actually want me to get a BMW, and I'm actually a pretty good driver which is why my parents want me to get one.

Yea, I love to speed and shit, but I know when to do it.

I want a nice first car haha :P

As opposed to those people who speed and don't know when to do it...

Overconfidence in one's driving abilities and perception of risk/danger is THE cause of every accident that came about from doing something silly.

give our worst least experienced drivers the most unsafe crappest car if I had kids I'd buy em the best I could afford with safety features

There are good arguments for and against doing this. I don't want to raise my kids to depend on safety features that may not be in other cars they drive. My brother got used to big brakes and ABS in his company car...started driving an old Prelude around for a few weeks and went straight up the ass of the car in front. Won't happen to everyone, but we are definitely dumbing down driving ability with the latest cars.

These safety features can also result in over confidence for some people. I'd rather them be driving in a car they are scared to even do the speed limit in. Also better to lose it around a corner in a car that can't hold 30km/h than one that breaks the threshold at 80...if they have the wrong attitude, they're going to push the limits of the car on the road no matter how safe the car is.

and i appreciate what i have, if i get a car it'll be my baby, clean it every week, all that sorta shit.

I don't have anything against people who have their cars bought for them, but you will nowhere near appreciate the possession on the same level as if you bought it yourself. I have had things bought for me and I have bought them myself...the latter is always much better looked after and enjoyed.

i love drifting and going a bit fast on the roads Borci ;) haha

birds, i dunno man, i'm pretty bloody appreciative trust me, i don't take anything for granted. i do buy things for myself with my own money but whatever i see as being 'mine' i treat with respect :)

and VL turbo flutters <3 dose itttt.

Most people on this forum love speed and drifting but don't mention "on the roads" in the same sentence otherwise you'll be off to a bad start on this forum :P

nahh drifting isn't on the roads, that's in parking lots LOL.

oh well, doesn't bother me haha.

are there any drift meets or races (organised on a course) held anywhere? pretty keen to check em out when i have the opportunity.

true birds but like i said for me, i like having 11bty airbags for every part of my body together with every electronic safety measure possible...

if i can afford it my kids would have that not some clapped out stinker.

It's not about how much you take care of the thing or respect it, plenty of people do that, it's a level of deep appreciation for that object. The simple fact is that when you buy something for yourself, it's not just a possession to you, it represents all the hours of hard work you poured into earning that possession. Same theory applies to building a car project or buying one off someone else.

I understand that there's more compression, trust me it was straight gas turbo converted by me and a mate and took a lot of road testing to tune, I know how it worked. I'll be getting another one next year no doubt about it.

Also the 3L and bigger Turbo definitely help ;)

do you know a chris theo by any chance?

+1 Birds. Completely agree with cars taking a lot of thinking out of the equation.

For an example, reverse cameras, great invention. As soon as you become dependant on them, jump in a car that doesnt have them. Lets see how well you reverse.

hey Maza, you should get yourself this:

Mistubishi Evo Pajero, 3.5L 24 valve V6 MIVEC, full Recaro interior from Factory and Paris Dakar racing pedigree! And you can import no probs! These things are bloody quick and you can drive on your P's and have something both cool and rare, you would be pretty hard pressed to see another of these on the road, I've never seen one in Vic in the last 10 years!

Here's a white one too

Clicky

Go on mate, DO IT!!!! Be an individual!

    • Harness is for a s1 Rb25det, and it is engine and lower harness.  the old harness had broken off plugs and was in very rough condition/exposed wires and splices etc. it is not able to be put back on the car, I could visually inspect to see if they had rewired any pins on the ecu plug. The fuel pump definitly isn’t turning off it’s an external pump and very loud you can hear it. Will look at the other harness tonight, am also going to pull the fuel rail and watch the injectors spray, will update here with what I find. Pretty sure at this point it has to be something to do with injectors because car will fire up on starting fluid and cas is clicking the Injectors. Fuel pressure is steady 43psi 
    • Check the injectors flow evenly, and are actually flowing what you and the ECU think they should be flowing. If it's starting up on starter fluid, you have a fuel issue. Is it possible under cranking your fuel pump is turning off?   The harness you replaced, is that the whole engine harness? Do yourself a test, and drop the old harness on and plug it into the Z32 ECU. It's possible they've wired things different. From memory S1 to S2 is different in RB25 and you may have a wrong loom
    • I haven’t pulled the injectors to watch them spray yet but they are clicking from the cas and all of the spark plugs are wet with fuel. I’ve thought the cylinders were being flooded from the beginning and was hoping fuel pressure would fix it. Tonight I am going to pull the rail and watch the injectors spray. Don’t know how to test/diagnose if the plugs are firing in correct sequence but that should be a timing thing and as far as timing goes my car still has the half moon for the cas can only install it 1 way. And my mechanical timing is 100% correct I posted photos above. Confirmed with the balancer on and off. 
    • I checked spark on all cylinders and they all visually have spark with the plug pulled and grounded, but plug 1 is the only one that fouled. This was a running swap that blew up and was rebuilt by a machine shop, put a new wiring specialties harness and did all gaskets, studs, and bolts while it was out.  compression is 135-150 across all cylinders. Aside from that from my understanding with the z32 ecu and maf the car should start regardless. The wiring for TPS and the dual 02 sensor/ dual knock sensor stuff shouldn’t actually stop the car from starting or even running well, (just slightly rich)  they just give fault codes. Car supposedly is supposed to start as long as you have z32 afm and ecu with the nistune base map and that’s info coming from a well known and trusted tuner who does a lot with SR/RB (Rsenthalpy). After more trouble shooting today where I’m at right now is that the cas is sending signal to the injectors they click while spinning the rotor, Fuel pressure is now set at 43psi, all cylinders have good compression and all of the plugs looked great (just wet with fuel) except for cylinder 1 which was very black (cylinder 1 has 150psi compression). all of the coils generate spark if pulled out and grounded out on the head. On the fuel pump car just pops into the exhaust. On starting fluid car will fire off. Hard to tell if all cylinders are firing off but definitley a couple. sounds like all of them but it’s only for 3-5 seconds hard to tell.
