These rides are built with one thing in mind – performance . They feature huge Brembo brakes, large diameter wheels and a race-inspired interior.

Combined with a turbocharged 2.0 litre double overhead cam engine, the Megane RS250 offers magnificent road feel and fantastic performance.

And, as an added bonus, the prize car comes with one year of comprehensive Shannons insurance!

So, are you interested? Enter now by going to the Shannons Supercar Showdown website at http://www.shannons.com.au/supercarshowdown/ and fill in your details – Simple!

They're also ugly as fark.

and you'd need a hefty wallet for genuine servicing and repairs.

that's just MY opinion.

So now you've killed off the competition, you're the only one going for it - right? ;)

It'll smash 90% of skylines around a racetrack

But yeah, the servicing / reliability of Renaults does worry me. Still, I'd happily add it to my collection.

I have to be at least 21 to enter.

I dont want your performance trolley anyway !

Think of it this way...

Many thieves wouldn't be caught dead (in the act of) stealing it ;)

So if you're the one who wins it; would you sell it?

in about the same amount of time it would take me to grab the keys if you just gave me your n1.

meh, is rather look good going slow, than look ugly going fast

Stupidity is not one of my qualities Luke ;)

Another thought...

If one of us wins this, it needs to be brought down to Texi for a run through the cones backwards :)

Reece? Dave?

lol.. i'm your biggest competitior..

family's owned renaults for at least 10 years. sister just wrote off the last one..

and they're actually fairly reliable tbh... no problems at all.

    • How dare you sell your unreliable Skyline and buy a reliable, Toyota/Yamaha car with a strong gearbox, torsen LSD and Toyota reliability. At least you won't need to worry about oil pumps, big catch can, oil restrictors, blowing off power steering belts, sheering off 3rd gear, failing ABS relays/pumps, etc.
    • Hope you aren't too sore after that one, might take a day or 2 to notice yet and I guess it is a loooooong drive home. On the bright side, tube frame front end is a thing at superlap, right?

    • The chart of front pressure to rear pressure (with one being on the x axis and the other being on the y axis) is not a straight line on a typical proportioning valve. At lower pressures there is a straight line with one slope, and at higher pressures that changes to a lower slope. That creates a bend in the line at that pressure, called the knee point. If you do not change the proportionng as the pressure gets higher, you will suffer excessive pressure (at one end of the car or the other, depending on which way you look at the proportioning action) and then get lockups at that end. The HFM BM57, from my memory of previous discussions, is based on the BM57 from a different car (to a Skyline), with a different requirement for the location of the knee point and the distribution of pressure front to rear, and so is not a good choice for an upgrade on a Skyline. Here's a couple of links to some old posts, one from here, one from elsewhere. A lot of it pertains to adjustable prop valves, but the idea is the same. There are plenty of discussions on here about this issue from al the many years of people wanting a cheap/accessible option. https://grassrootsmotorsports.com/forum/grm/learn-me-brake-proportioning-valves/236880/page1/ https://grassrootsmotorsports.com/forum/grm/learn-me-brake-proportioning-valves/236880/page1/
