Mate just got a major defect pulling out of the panel shop. Didn't directly take a speed, and was going over it on angle and the cops pulled him up about 10 seconds later.

Got done for being too low, tint, walls, bump stops and tyre placard. Merry Christmas.

walls, bumpstops?

How does it sound Leigh?

Decat soon? Mate bought an xr6 turbro. Goes very nice!

Really want a gs ute now.

Sounds like a supercharged v8 :P

Pretty loud for a stock exhaust, I'll probably just leave it and get tune only

Xr6 turbos are nice as well, but GS is the way to go if you want to spend 1500 and get some huge powahh, plus sound cooler

Auto > manual

Sure manual you are in more control more "driving" but autos are quicker that's the facts

Not just the quickness, but yea want to keep the car for ages and will be working in the city soon - not to mention people already replacing stock clutches in the manuals

People might say auto is gay, but when you drive a ZF auto they are pretty awesome :worship:

With Alex on this one. People use getting kicked out of places as bragging rights these days...so they do stupid shit to make it happen...sounds like something worth encouraging?

Auto > manual

Not really. Some autos are f**king shit. Like the one in the bf xr6 310kw version. I changed gears around same time as him and lost no ground what so ever.

Yes auto is crap which is why it's used in most of the latest top end sports/supercars because ofcourse it's gay and a waste of time.

what would the best engineers in the world know anyway...

Exactly :thumbsup:

yeh agree leigh i drive heaps all stop start for work a manual wouldnt even be considered but each to their own

horses for courses

Yep much better for cruising / daily, if I were drifting it I'd get a manual but I'm not.. well not intentionally :P

Yeah you're a flog mohsen, no ones impressed that you get kicked out, you sound like a 14 year old delinquent.

Leigh, did you have any riding experience before you got your l's?

I rode dirt bikes from a young age (pee-wee 50 types), started off small and ended up with a 150 which I sold at 16 - rode only once every month or 2 so not too much.

Got my Ls on the 1 day course, they expect you to know how to ride and basic controls. That being said I hadn't sat on a bike for about 5 years still passed fairly easily, you'll be fine. If you're worried just do the 2 day course, seriously though don't stress its easy.

As for on the road, a bit weird at first.. just doing 80 or 100 seems like your flying. I just took it easy, didn't weave or go to the front of the lights at first. After a few months you get more comfortable, still I always wear gear and don't try to be a hero. Good fun though. Do it! :thumbsup:

    • 98 r34 gtt Been rocking my latest setup and car running like never before. Have put a good 200 miles on it since all the latest changes and additions. everything is dialed in and have been driving it a bunch.   However, all a sudden last weekend as soon as I pushed throttle passed 4k and the engine stumbles, (slow or fast acceleration) hesitates and doesn’t go above 4100 or so, like a misfire. Everything else seems fine. I had a “good” set of coil packs that I removed from car when I first got it when I changed them over to new coils. I swapped out current ones for those, but no change. I also changed the plugs, no change. Seems to rev over 4 when out of gear with no load just fine no “misfire”, but as soon as its in gear with a load of any kind, it “misfires” as soon as rpm drop back below 4 k it runs perfectly, smooth, starts, restarts and drives fine as long as I keep it below 4 k while in gear. All readings look fine, no CEL   Any idea as to what could all a sudden cause an issue when pushing rpms passed 4 k?
    • When you say your cams are 272/262 is that 272in and 262ex?
    • We're arguing semantics. I am saying 45 accel and a 55 deccel ramp are "2 ways". Even a 45 degree ramp and an 89 degree ramp is "2 ways", because it is literally... two ways. The cusco 55/30 ramp is a 2 way. It's two ways. I get it though - in normal nomenclature a "2 way" would be 45/45 or 55/55 or 60/60 i.e the same locking in both directions. And something like 45/65 would be considered "1.5 way". I would then say if we're getting into the nitty gritty then every locking diff is a "2 way" diff and we should not speak in 1.5, or 2 ways but ramp angles instead. Which ofc if one of those ramp angles is 90deg, that side is not doing any locking. :p So Nismo don't obviously sell 3 things. The fact of the matter that they only sell two items really goes to show that there's a 2 way and a "1,5 way" which is really a 1 way. I believe the actual lockup for the 'adjustability' of the GT pro is really just setting preload for when the ramps actually start locking up. It's not changing how much 'wayness' there is. It is (somehow) horribly explained. People just buy whatever diff and go "locks up good bruh" and that's what ends up on socials forever.  
    • No, you're wrong, and you've always been wrong about this. The Nismo has 2 sets of openings. One is a real 2-way, and the other is a 1-way. There is no 1.5-way possible with the ramps that they offer. A real 1.5-way does exist. That Cusco stuff I posted is a prime example. If the forward drive ramps are, say 55°, and the overrun ramps are, say, 30°, then you will get about half as much LSD effect on overrun than you do on drive. It is real, it realy works. OK, you're slightly right. The Nismo has 55° and 45° ramps on the 2-way, so it does offer less LSD effect on overrun. But, I think that just means that they've (probably) sensibly established that you do not want actually equal LSD effect on overrun. You just want "quite a lot, but not quite as much as the drive LSD effect".
