Cheers man! Loving my skyline! Not quite sure. Taking a drive tomorrow morning to my grandads at like 6am. I'll let you know what I'm getting, I only got 5psi around the block, not even pushing it.

Remember how I said about there will be a vl that will race anyone? f**k man. On kings smith rd? I think it is a custom green vl with esp racing on the back window, with a sr20 or something in it thought he was fully sik sideways ... I got to 90kph quite quickly and he was on my ass... Then over took me and kaned it down the road hitting close to 9,000 rpm... Pissing out with smoke. Would have reached 200... Then he got stuck at a red light. I had no one in the right lane so yea. Bogged down in first really bad then spun into second. Then felt like a dickhead so I backed off, and yet agian he flogged it past me after sitting on my ass for 5 mins. f**king tosser! It's guys like that make you angry...

I never thought I'd like a 4 door skyline.. But man yours is sexy! Oh and does your driveway have any black paint left over from when I left? Haha

Mani you can send off your 34 turbo and use the SS1 in the mean time. Then when it's back you can sell it

Turns out I can pay him $950 and he sends me a high flowed one and then I send him mine back once installed and he gives me $100 cash back.

Can't argue with that really.

Although I might keep my stocker as a spare if its only worth the $100 cash back.

Hopefully I can sell the SS1PU for a fair price.

Haven't checked shaft play or anything but we will know in a month or so time when the 34 finally arrives

a custom green vl with esp racing on the back window,

Yeah that VL lives near here I think. I doubt it has an SR in it but maybe. More likely it's an RB running on 4 cylinders due to Flogging it too much. :D

Didn't notice paint. It was a very light touch.

Did nothing on my car but the girlfriend picked up a sss n15 today so gave it a wash and will detail it for her tomorrow and find some rims to replace the ugly 17'' chromies once it passed for rego. I chucked a tsurikawa on the back for lols as well.

I know of a green VE with a walkinshaw bonnet who loves to race anyone, shame that I always seem him in the oppisite direction hitting redline every time. There are a few regular nob heads, another is a HSV senator who fengs it about - doing 120+ in 50's - beyond stupid. ANNND a VE ute (Young driver) who seems to like to cut people off or doesn't know the road rules.

Speaking of stupid - if anyone knows a Black Pearl WRX RS (Hatch) with the number plates AJC - tell the idiot to pull his head in. I've seen him 3 times on my way to work and he has been an absolute idiot all 3 times. Swerving in and out of cars, almost hitting bumpers and flogging it to 140km/h every chance he gets - I was following him for a bit but he got wayy to dangerous so I backed off, later I drove passed him as he was stuck behind traffic and gave him an earful of a turbo. I'm suprised he hasn't crashed his car yet.

@Andrew - As I am all for people giving their cars a kick - I wouldn't like to see an L Plater doing it nor would I want an L Plater "beating" me at the lights LOL Whoever is "teaching" you how to drive must be sleeping :P Whenever I kicked Dad's car (Nothing impressive) I got a belting :(

L plates or not you shouldn't be doing that shit on the road. It's what gives us a bad name.

True true - but saying that is so unrealistic that's it's not worth saying at all. You may as well say "If you're going to do it, at least do it in as 'safe' environment as you possibly can". Because at the end of the day - people will put their foot down - fanging 150km/h is just stupid but accelerating off quickly in a 'safe' environment can be done with little harm.

My meaning was that to single out L platers is wrong, them doing it is no worse than someone else.

It also gives us a bad name and we do not accept nor encourage that type of behavior here on sau..... :ph34r:

I've got the appropriate 'safe' environment for you and it's NOT a public street. it is called a racetrack, which the streets we drive on are not. we need a dragstrip in canberra...

Agreed, no one should do it because it does give us a bad name. However it is worse a L-plater doing it as they are still learning to drive and have very lttle experience.

I would rather an L plater do it with an experienced driver showing them the ropes than on the P's with no one to guide them.

Canberra roads are a dragstrip - FORM ONE LANES BABY !

Most the time a driver crashes is mostly being out of control. An L-Plater, generally does not have the skill / know-how on how to correct driving - A Driver with an L-plater does not have control the clutch, brake or accelerator - and is only available to a bit of the steering wheel.

No one should be doing things that put themselves at risk of crashing (Putting your foot down in a 180kW car on dry roads with little to no bumps can be done safetly). But again, you're right in the sense that people shouldn't do it, but hell, even sometimes I give Rosie a bit of a kick - but I do this near no other cars that if I cause a crash I am hitting nothing but trees / off road.

All of the above.

:spank:

Except Jeremy's comment.

You disagreeing with what I'm saying? :S It seems people are not understanding what I am saying. It is REALITY that people do it. I'm not hiding the fact that everyone is a little angel on the road, becuase they're not- so instead of covering up what people do, I am explaining to do it in the safest place - and I'm not referring to burnouts and fishys. I'm talking about putting your foot down going 20km/h the speed limit of 80/90km/h

It seems that everyone is acting like their an angel on the road who drive like a grandma LOL

im not talking about drifting or anything. Either way. Id rather a Learner learn from someone before they go out by themselfs. I have no idea why they dont teach controlling a car sideways for your L's. Similar to the stay upright course for bikes but for cars they teach you how to drift basically.

And jeremy i agree with you i terms of putting your foot down a bit. But alot of drivers (including open license) will have no idea what to do the same as a L plater.

Mik - if your not using the other exhaust give me first dibs plse

No Mine!!!

Swapped back to the old muffler today.

Someone re welded my pipe, now it fits even better. Sweeet. :D

No more melting the bar. Thanks man, its heaps better.

Great it fits, I was stressing a bit that it wouldn't fit or line up properly with everything else. Good thing I didn't just chuck it :D

    • Hi, i’m making a rb25det coil loom for Vag short coil. Can anybody tell me which Ecu signal wire belong to coil number 1 and 2,3,4,5,6? The connecting switch in above pic is 8 wire i think white is for +12v and black for earth.
    • Was there ever a model of the Stagea m35 that didnt have a badge on the grill? I thought I saw that somewhere, some aero edition or something? I cant find it again? davemoto
    • Its a 2002 vr-x four VQ25DET, silver. Coil overs, lowered, polished alloys and sport exhaust. Bit of a project, was sitting in a shed for a while but runs and drives great.
    • I wasn’t able to replicate the sound anymore. It was a one time sound so maybe it was just coincidence but it was like small pebbles being dropped in a coke can.   should I try cleaning the MAF? It could be it’s functioning but dirty? I don’t know.
    • Update 4: Hi all. The car drives again! Haven't driven for long, only to store it in the garage again, but the test drive was successful. The coolant and oil leaks seem to be fixed for now. Temps on the engine were also very good, while moving I never even saw 80C water during the approx. 30 minute drive. Ate up all the coolant in the reservoir though so will have to fill that even more when I go to the car next time. One thing that pisses me off is that the RPM gauge is still f**ked, I even resoldered the board twice and used copper paste on the silly screws that are used as connections. Next time I take it out I'll take apart the board and fit new components, I'll see if I can get a replacement IC for it.  I have an appointment set for 22nd of September for the engine tune to 370hp. Alignment also still needs to be done. My hope is that I can get all the legal stuff over with by the end of this season. Anyone of you have advice regarding intercoolers? Currently there is an APEXI core fitted, one of those weird hybrid ones, 600x270x76. I don't think it's bad but it's not new and now I still have the chance to change it now to legally include it in the paperwork. Only issue is that the only options that would arrive in time are a HKS Type R intercooler or generic Ebay spec intercoolers comparable to a JustJap one. Ideally I'd order a Plazmaman but it takes over a month to receive which would mean making the car legal has to wait until next season. Would love to hear some input on this. Same story for my injectors, the previous owner was a nunce and put ID 1050x on the engine. They work but are obviously not ideal at "normal" power levels. But I don't see a reason to change them unless the tuner says it's necessary. I read online before buying a different exhaust that the top secret style rear diffusers won't fit due to the size of the rear resonators. My buddy and I made it work by slightly "adjusting the shape" of the mounting bracket and making some spacers out of 3d print for the mounting bolts. Fits like a charm. Just putting this here in case someone has this problem. Even the hefty HKS Silent Hi Power rear can fits without hitting anything.
