It's easy to stir this pot.

N/A skylines are shit and slow and will be eaten by a commonwhore.

*runs away and jumps in his 33 gtr because he knows that no p plater in a N/A skyline will catch him (except for a sss pulsar because sss pulsar > my gtr)*

Edited by eat_me

I know the n/a skylines are no performance car, plus trying to get huge amounts of power out of any p plate car isnt the smartest idea (5 points dont last long)..

i drive a non turbo R33 being a p plater and almost every one of my freinds has hung shit on it until they have been in it.. All of my freinds have commodores and one of them even sold his and bought an n/a skyline after driving mine..

I picked my car up for $4800 with rego and rwc.. and it drives 10 times better than any of my previous cars (celica, calais, statesman ect..) point being that even though they may not be as powerful as the turbo ones i dont see why p platers should be criticised against and called posers for driving the cars they have a passion for.. and in my opinion having owned both of them most japanese cars turbo or not are a lot better built and nicer to drive than your average commodore

And just to set the record straight, i have run against a few of my mates with commodores including a worked vs manual, vt and vy s pac and not one of them could keep up.. my car is bog stock except for a cat back..

sorry about the rant.. thats just my 2 cents

N/A 20B PP

2 litres, no turbo, big power.

well either they have massive amounts of kms on the engine and are flogged out (possibly flogged out auto gearboxes), or your mates can't drive. in healthy condition and driven decently they would beat you.

as for the SSS, most people on here know my feelings about them, lol.

I just don't get P platers and insisting on skylines or silvias etc.

take the blinkers off your eyes mate.

go have a drive in a Renault Sport Clio 172.

1050kg

124kw

leather bolstered seats

xenon head lights

throw it in to a corner or 2 and see if you an even remember what a non turbo skyline or silvia is.

that is just one example of many good cars for P platers.

Unless you want to pose.. then my post is of no use to you.

Mine is alright. Bought it off Karl Ryndler (V8 supercar driver).

Has a group N ecu and an exhaust, factory everything else.

By numbers it's a rockin' P plater car;

1) Mine Did 14.2 sec 1/4 mile at the motorplex (consistant 14.3's), and that's not even it's performance strength

2) goes around corners

3) Stops better than the Porsche 911 of the same year from the factory

4) no police attention

5) Safety features all round

6) rear seats come out in within 1 min due to clear design.

7) bolt in cage easy to obtain for track weekends

8) very light weight means track days are cheap

9) 6.8L / 100 km around town ecconomy

No N/A skyline/Silvia will touch it. At the drags even most of the turbo ones were slower on the night ha ha...

+1 for Clio's, my mate had one bog stock on semi slicks and around corners was the fastest car i've been in :worship: in first, second and a little bit of third it use to stay level with my cousins 200rwkw R33.

+1 , knew it

You know nothing.

You said they run 14s. There's a massive difference between a "15" second car and a 14 second car.

And if it was a 15.9 then you didn't know it. No mention of what, if any mods were done to the "15" second car. You claimed stockos do 14s. They do not. Flat 16s, maybe a high 15 is what they will do stock. Do the usual mods, exhaust and CAI and you might see a mid to low 15, maybe.

    • Lets say I wanted to buy this, specifically for this purpose. How do I actually perform the function. Can I still buy a Consult-1? Am I about to be burned by the fact my car is a 2000 model Series 2 R34 and thus will be some stupid other system? Do I just need this -> https://obd2australia.com.au/product/nissan-consult-14-pin-to-usb-ddl-diagnostic-interface-with-ftdi-ft232r-chip/ And with what software?
    • That's probably OK. That's a face to face compression joint between two surfaces with the clamping load provided by those bolts. So.... it's unlikely that the bolts will end up feeling that load in shear, unless the clamping surfaces are not large enough, bolts not got enough tension on them, etc etc to prevent the two faces from moving wrt each other. Which... I would hope the designers have considered, seeing as it's probably one of the most important things the upright has to do apart from resist collapsing in its own right. But yes, it would definitely be worth asking them what their safety factor on that part of the design was. I tend to think that the casting, being a casting, is not necessarily the strongest bit of material in the world. It's about an inch square, and when you think about the loads that are being put into it, you have to wonder what safety factor the Nissan boys (and every other OEM engineer who has designed all the millions of other uprights that look essentially the same) used to account for defective casting, aging, severe impacts on the wheel, etc etc. 
    • Those bolts would be orders of magnitude stronger that cast aluminium though.  And its mainly clamping force, not shear they are dealing with?
    • Except all that twisting force that is breaking a cast piece, appears to be going through 4 bolts in the picture Johnny posted of the BryPar one...
    • The smart approach is to use the gearbox loom from the manual car. Makes it a lot easier - just plugs into the switches on the box and plugs into the main loom up near the fusebox. Then you only need to deal with bypassing the inhibit switch. The other approach requires you to use the wiring diagram to identify those wires by colour and location, perhaps even indulging in a little multimeter action to trace them end to end to make sure, and then.... you will have the answers you need. The R34 wiring diagram is available on-line (no, I do not have a link to it myself - I would have to do a search if I wasn't able to go to the copy I have at home).
