parts mainly, specfically suspension parts that tend to flog out on our shitty roads, and stuff that breaks on 20 year old cars that needs to be procured from specialist wreckers.

Also finding a mechanic who wants to work on imports ($$$ or incompetence, your pick)

Trust me, I've owned both. Not comparing fuel usage as my R32 had a Microtech and bigger turbo, 'nuff said.

I doubt I'd get better fuel economy from an N/A skyline than my LS though (10l/100 or so mostly highway)

farrr less can go wrong in an n/a compared to a turbo. But yes if something does it isn't overly cheap. I did once make it from renmark (SA) to canberra on 1 tank however...

Just leaving this here :)

Not siding with anybody nor saying which is faster or better but read a few pages of LOLs

I have never even owned a skyline :P

Haha u think I wouldn't say this to your face.... You make me laugh (refer to fitness threads for pics and then please be quite)

I would say anything to your face! But I promise to say nice things if you don't leave me behind on mountain passes again...

and you can say whatever you want to me We TSO bros haha :wub:

^ LOL.

Because "everyone" has to win a street race or drift event on public roads...

Just like Paul Walker or Vin Diesel ;)

Most of the testosterone getting flung round is by you. You are the one getting super defensive and insisting we all know nothing unless we prove it. Hell you even made a thinly veiled threat of violence.

I don't need to prove myself to someone with a superiority complex, so you feel free to continue on thinking i am just talking out my arse. And yes i would glady say any of this to your face.

lol clearly just wanted your 2cents as i havent said sh*t in this thread cept for above....

just making your self look like a git

marc, i think you replied to the wrong person. Fryters, not Frosty

Oh look! Some more evidence that na's take skill to drift over high powered cars. This time from 2 d1 world champs

But I mut be talking out my ass and an 'na fanboy' whatever that is?

Im telling you guys, my dick is bigger!

This thread has lost all that could have been salvaged!

Why are natro kids always so defensive? Just like vtec plebs

Read the first few pages, you'll see that most of us were talking based on personal experience, no one was getting defensive. Fryters stated: n/a cars arent that bad, they are fun to drift. I stated, it was pretty quick in its time, up against other cars in the 1990s it did win a bit of races, todays standards are much higher etc etc.. It was from there all the others started challenging our word and having a go at us, saying things like "N/as have no respect", "who buys a n/a skyline", "rb25 n/a is terrible, if rb30s are slow rb25 must be", "why buy a n/a when you can buy a stroked rotary" etc. They laughed at whatever opinion we gave that was in favor of the n/a skyline. It felt like their goal was just to ridicule us cause they drive twin turbo gtrs, xr6ts etc... while we cruise in a n/a. Some people made valid points, others such as fryters was provoked.

You know what's up, thanks man

Lol, I didnt say anything about n/a's on this thread.

Jeez you natro boys need to relax. Maybe you get so frustrated because those sv6's stomp you that you have to jump on the internet and defend your slow punk ass

The only slow thing is you, I have said like 10times now I don't care about power or speed, I wouldn't like na's if I did...

So you're not caring about power or speed right?

Because if you did, you wouldn't buy an N/A right?

Which is you saying, I bought an N/A knowing it had no power or capability for speed.

In essence, I bought an N/A knowing it was slow.

In other words, you just admitted that N/As are slow, yet you're arguing against this in a thread asking "Are N/As slow?"

Please note: Everyone has admitted you can drift them, you can drift many other extremely under powered cars too, yet you're still arguing for some unknown reason.

Am I arguing?

And the thread is are n/a's slow or is everyone talking out their ass. N/a's are slow, but all of you, talk out your asses about what their capabilities are, when you have never really driven one to their limits.

    • So.... the K&N air box thingo was too big, ended up gifting it to a mate, well, by gifting it he actually supplied food and beer at the pub,  which was nice, as it will not sit on a shelf in the garage for the next 10 years I did trim up some of the existing stuff to neaten it all up and gave it some wrinkle paint, unfortunately it currently has a used and abused mish mash of different types of hose clamps, 4 big fat T bolt type (shit), and a few normal clamps of vairing sizes and brands, but..... only until the 6 constant tension black worm clamps that I ordered from EFI solutions turn up next week Currently the current hose clamps are triggering me hard, LOL Is this the final version, probably not, I really want just 2 silicone pieces, a straight bit of silicone from the filter to the MAF is easy and will happen as soon as I head into Just Jap tomorrow, the problematic part is a 30° silicone bend from the MAF to the TB that I can connect the engine breather from the head, I found that there are bulk head fittings for boat bilge pumps that should work, but until I can get a 30° silicone bend the alloy pipe, and the 11ty thousand hose clamps, are there for the foreseeable future 4 hose clamps are golden, 6 are grudgingly acceptable, the 8 currently holding it all together is just taking the piss    I've also ordered 60 more retaining wall blocks for the front yard, I mis-gonculated the height that was required to get above the base of the Photinia's (red robin's) that are the hedge behind the front fence, currently it is 2 blocks high, and about 1/2 a block short, so going 3 blocks high will be above the base of the red robin's, and allow some room for mulch
    • It is the stock air box with the panel filter. Everything else is stock except the exhaust at this point, as I also went back to the cleaned 270cc injectors. I will check the RPM when the IACV is unplugged and report back.
    • As MBS suggested if this is happening when the engine is cold you're going to want to remove the intake air regulator and verify resistance + that the shutter is physically opening and closing. At -20C should be fully open, 20C half open, over 60C fully closed. At 20C should be 70-80 ohms. For AAC valve testing using a Consult cable see if you can raise and lower the idle by commanding more or less AAC duty cycle. Hopefully it's pretty linear as well, shouldn't be like 30% AAC valve is barely idling and 40% is 1500 rpm.
    • Bloody apprentices! 🙄
    • Not sure yet.  Was considering speedtek because it was rated to 800hp, but when I did some research about him I don't think I will go for that🤣 So maybe giken gear set, but I'm afraid it won't be strong enough🙄
