As much as this is the FI section you have to agree this is where all the mech heads hang out.. nobody goes to the NA section to talk about building motors etc. That section is all about who has the best looking slow skyline.

a video thread is definitely cool.. like the dyno thread. This turbo setup will make you lol this hard.

I like the idea.

yeah dyno videos suck. seen one seen all. i dont even watch my own car on the dyno lol

I think a good reference video thread would be in car of the speedometer while driving on the street or track with a description of mods listed. Eg would be.. r34 gtr 2.8 -5 than you can compare with the next guy who has a standard -5 or -7. It would also make peoples choices easier who is thinking about -5 or -7 and you can compare the lag and how fast it builds revs ect

Yeah this is a good idea it will help those people make choice on what set up they want, if they arnt able to go for a drive in a car with a similar setup to get a feel for it. this will at least give them an idea of what it will be like.

Problem with this is if you have a decent after market ecu you can fudge the Tacho to make things look alot better than they really are, that also goes double when they show ecu data video captures for speed aswell..... Also put R32/33 GTR Front n rear diffs/gears in an R34 GTR like alot of Jap shops used to do and watch the speedo!!! Not to say way too many Dyno's DONT seem extremely generous, but IMO listening to a car on the DYNO once you hear "THAT NOISE" you know something special is on the rollers..... I think put any and all video's up, there's always gona be haters and admirers..

least give them an idea of what it will be like.

Why not go visit wasteland?

That way if some dick head decides to post something stupid ACA etc can't access without creating an account and finding the video.

Aka wasteland isn't viewable without a login.

I think this thread is just asking for trouble

But that's just my opinion

Nice video's guys.

I don't see how its asking for trouble if the video is of the speedometer? In video 2 its obvious he is at the track as well.

Feel free to move to appropriate section if you think its best though

    • Ha ha, yeah, I've had one following me around in my parts boxes since about 2007 I believe. Just a little iddy bit hole drilled in the one I have to let it vent out once pressure was removed from the engine side. Still no idea what I'd put it on, ha ha.
    • Just read this... Just a little bit of a wild one! Do you think the driver was testing out a new feature/device for how to lose the cops in a high speed chase?   I also suspect, if the box has a road sweeper that does magnetic metal pick up, he does a LOT of work in the machining industry. Which is what most of that looked like, machining chips from a mill or lathe. And I bet they're RAZOR sharp! And from an environmental perspective they really do need to actually collect all of those little pieces too. I wonder how many people still cop flat tires over the coming months on that road?   As for insurance company, yeah, it'd be interesting to hear what they say to the owner. But realistically, he's right, that "It's his fault". In the way that, it was his truck that spilled it, so they need to clean it up. However, neither he, nor his insurance company may bear the end cost if they do an investigation and find out it was caused by someone elses negligence (And they know who)...
    • Yeah, no matter what bad things people can say about Julian from Autospeed, he at least was capable of thinking and his inclusion of a check/relief valve in the plumbing for the Audi boost controller, that I made a copy of and used for years**, completely eradicated that problem. **It's still lying on my workbench where I put it about, um, 18 years ago and have never found a home for it!
    • I didn't actually know this! I've seen photos of the H1, mainly outside shots, and they just look "different". I guess there'd be a few little changes like nicer rims, and probably the fact they have nicer looking paint with some depth and shine, which will make any vehicles body look different to the very flat colours of the defence force.   I've watched the guys on GHPC convert their Humvee to LS1, and they've done some really nice front shock upgrade. I'm waiting for the next video on it with the rear end done. I can't remember if they've already done it, or I dreamed it, but I believe they're also supercharging theres. They will be in the future doing proper long travel suspension too.   If you ditch out your big V8, as rubbish as it must be, send it to my place. I'll let the unreliable V8 motor and box be here. I just like V8s... So I'll find something to do with it... Even if that something is just taking up valuable space in the yard. I might have something Skyline I can send back in payment... Or even Ford Barra motors  (From memory you're in Canada yeah?) So you can then play with the legendary Aussie 4L version of an RB...  Except they don't have that distinctive random miss at idle like the RB25 does.
    • Or you mean the age old problem of early 2000's manual boost tees, where they never let the pressure out of the line between the boost tee, and the waste gate, so after your first trip on boost, the damn wastegate liked to stay open and be laggy on gear change?
