It will stop some crashing.

Go drive a 300kw skyline and tell me that won't increase your chances if losing it

You obviously haven't seen arab drifting on youtube.

You still can crash a 4 cyl Camry...

yeah any car can speed.

this was me in a 2L NA wagon all 105 Fly KW

germany09%2520021.jpg

training is more important that power to weight.

oh and earlier that day I had a 92kw FWD hatch at indicated 205!

yep, I remember getting a stock lancer rent a car over 200 with 5 people in the car...back mid 90s...

There will be ulterior motives behind this anyway...like raising more revenue from P-platers speeding..

you watch Kids all get excited about the new laws and start driving like morons...

then government will use this as an excuse to bring in mandatory GPS tracking or some bullshit....

They are just fishing, they're just giving a little slack before they reel us in further....

Not really,

I think it's just because soon pretty much all cars will have forced induction and there is NO WAY the government can look like they are forcing P Platers to drive older less safe cars

it HAD to happen

i always like the fact the holden cruze.

2 models the "sportier" faster was NA

the slower less powerful one a small turbo..

and which is the only one a new driver could have...

or you could drive the superseded Renault Clio Cup but not the less powerful mini cooper S

I could go on for days but yes how hard is it to find a small car released in past 2 years with no turbo varient,

It allows P platers to drive turbo diesels and weak turbocharged petrol vehicles.

However...P plater buys CA18DET S13...much easier to get big power out of these than even N/A V8, which I thought was the reason turbos got blanket banned in the first place except for those turbo diesels appearing on the unrestricted list.

Are V8s still banned?

So I purchased one of these which has an 85mm ID:

Not realising I need the 500-A022 model which has a 75mm ID. Anyone know how I can make it fit to the RB25DET? Would an adaptor or the like work?

Did you purchase the Power Intake adpator too? I don't think those come with one.

As listed here:

Oh and next time, save yourself the money and just buy a 3A racing pod off ebay for 30 bucks. They filter well and are cheap (as a piece of perforated cloth and some stamped metal should be).

Love them or hate them, the VF commys are a respectable bit of kit. Electronic park brake is fkin cool.

13.8L/100km average on LPG, that's close to diesel economy when you convert to dollars, isn't it?

    • Even more fun, leave all the ADAS stuff plugged in, but in different locations, hopefully avoid any codes!   And honestly, all these new cars with their weird electronics. Pull all the electronics out Duncan, and just shove an aftermarket ECU and if needed a trans controller in, along with a PDM. Make it run basic but race car styled!
    • To follow up a question from earlier too since I had the front bar off again (fking!) This is what is between the bumper and the drivers side wheel And this is the navigator side, only one thing but its a biggy! So basically....no putting coolers in the wheel arches without a lot of moving other stuff. Assuming I move to properly race prepping this car I'll take that job on and see how the computers respond to removing a whole bunch of ADAS modules
    • So I prepped the car for another track day on Wednesday (will be interesting to see coolant temps post flushing out and the larger reservoir, with a forecast of 3-14 being 20o cooler than last time I took it out). Couple of things to mention; since I am just driving the car and not taking a support vehicle, I took the rear seats out and just loaded the back up Team Trackday style. Look at all that space! To cover off removing the rear seat....it is weird (note the hybrid is probably different because it wouldn't have folding rear seats) Basically, you remove the lower seat base, very similar to a r series but it is a clip that pulls forward to release the base rather than it being bolted down. Easy Then, you need to remove the side section of the rear seat on each side. There is a 14mm head nut at the bottom of the side piece, the it slides upwards off a hook at the top to release; you also need to unhook the seatbelt from the loop at the top. Then the centre piece is weird. You need to release/fold the seats forward with the tab in the boot on each side From there, there are 2,x12mm headed bolts holding the rear of each seat to the folding bracket, under the trim between the rear seat and the boot (4x christmas tree clips there, they suck). The seat is out but you can see where the bolts attach to the bracket
    • As discussed in the previous post, the bushes in the 110 needed replacing. I took this opportunity to replace the castor bushes, the front lower control arm, lower the car and get the alignment dialled in with new tyres. I took it down to Alignment Motorsports on the GC to get this work done and also get more out of the Shockworks as I felt like I wasn't getting the full use out of them.  To cut a very long story short, it ended up being the case the passenger side castor arm wouldn't accept the brand new bush as the sleeve had worn badly enough to the point you could push the new bush in by hand and completely through. Trying a pair of TRD bushes didn't fix the issue either (I had originally gone with Hardrace bushes). We needed to urgently source another castor arm, and thankfully this was sourced and the guys at the shop worked on my car until 7pm on a Saturday to get everything done. The car rides a lot nicer now with the suspension dialled in properly. Lowered the car a little as well to suit the lower profile front tyres, and just bring the car down generally. Eternally thankful for the guys down at the shop to get the car sorted, we both pulled big favours from our contacts to get it done on the Saturday.  Also plugged in the new Stedi foglights into the S15, and even from a quick test in the garage I'm keen to see how they look out on the road. I had some concerns about the length of the LED body and whether it'd fit in the foglight housing but it's fine.  I've got a small window coming up next month where I'll likely get a little paint work done on the 110 to remove the rear wing, add a boot wing and roof wing, get the side skirt fixed up and colour match the little panel on the tail lights so that I can install some badges that I've kept in storage. I'm also tempted to put in a new pair of headlights on the 110.  Until then, here's some more pictures from Easter this year. 
    • I would put a fuel pressure gauge between the filter and the fuel rail, see if it's maintaining good fuel pressure at idle going up to the point when it stalls. Do you see any strange behavior in commanded fuel leading up to the point when it stalls? You might have to start going through the service manual and doing a long list of sensor tests if it's not the fuel system for whatever reason.
