Is he a wanker ?

It's quite possible. How many individual signs do you need to be able to make the determination? Let's count a few.

  1. The pose.
  2. The pants.
  3. The shirt.
  4. The expression.
  5. The arm jewellery.
  6. The air horns (they ARE airhorns, right?)
  7. The ear jewellery (I know, right!)
  8. The JWB.

Any others?

I own S15 silvia with rb25det. Before looking into Silvias and Skylines I was thinking to buy a XR6T. I drove 3 different Falcons and they yeah, they are impressive cars when you compare them to its competition. They are better then 2005 Commondore SS, Toyota Camry Sportivo and such.

You can easily make 300kw+ with basic mods, injectors, intercooler, tune.

Big sedan is better daily driver.

My question is how many of you buy/build modified turbo car so you can commute to work and drive 20k a year? If everyone was using such cars as daily, average miliage on your Skylines would have been 300-400k in 2015. The main thing fun cars offer is fun and a different experience.

So I drove 3 Falcons and a number of JDM cars before making a decision. What I found was.

1. Skyline or Silvia with less power feels faster and more exciting then a Falcon. Lighter cars with more aggresive power curve always feel faster. In the same way as 300kw xr6t will feel faster then 300kw V8

2. You need to really push Falcon to get some excitement. Skyline, Silvia or WRX feel exciting on half a throttle.

3. Handling...........Falcon is closer to Camry then to any real sports car. In the past I thought handling is not important unless you on a racetrack. That's until I expirienced what good handling is. It feels fantastic even at 50km/h.

Yes, it takes some effort to make 250-300 kw in a JDM car. But such car feels terrifying compared to many much more powerfull cars.

After driving modified JDM car I was dissapointed in e46 M3 and in some other cars. Main problem was level of excitement. It is just not same.

LOL bungy jumping is even more terrifying

But is does not compare to a good car that feels like you expect it to

This is a car forum not a scooter forum

Nice troll attemt though

Speaking of Korean cars, maybe 200kw feels scary in Korean car. It's beside the point, S15 feels like better quality car then BF Falcon. FG Falcon feels more like a modern car.

Funny how someone started this topic on Skyline forum. It's something I've noticed before. You never see a rotary guys or skyline guys starting similar topic on V8 forum or BMW M3 forum.

Maybe because they really enjoy what they have. So there is no need to tell others that they are wrong about something.

Bungee jumping has better ground rush. Skydiving has better fun/$ and longer thrill factor.

I once drove the JMS S12 Silvia (Gazelle). 650HP FJ20. Used to lift the front left wheel 450mm up into the air - on the street. That was scary. A turbo 13B S1 RX7 was a similar sort of ride and equally scary. A 1000HP HKS engined Supra I drove didn't have the chassis flex of those two, but simply leaped into the future whilst leaving large portions of the tyres behind. That was the most scary.

    • For once a good news  It needed to be adjusted by that one nut and it is ok  At least something was easy But thank you very much for help. But a small issue is now(gearbox) that when the car is stationary you can hear "clinking" from gearbox so some of the bearing is 100% not that happy... It goes away once you push clutch so it is 100% gearbox. Just if you know...what that bearing could be? It sounding like "spun bearing" but it is louder.
    • Yeah, that's fine**. But the numbers you came up with are just wrong. Try it for yourself. Put in any voltage from the possible range and see what result you get. You get nonsense. ** When I say "fine", I mean, it's still shit. The very simple linear formula (slope & intercept) is shit for a sensor with a non-linear response. This is the curve, from your data above. Look at the CURVE! It's only really linear between about 30 and 90 °C. And if you used only that range to define a curve, it would be great. But you would go more and more wrong as you went to higher temps. And that is why the slope & intercept found when you use 50 and 150 as the end points is so bad halfway between those points. The real curve is a long way below the linear curve which just zips straight between the end points, like this one. You could probably use the same slope and a lower intercept, to move that straight line down, and spread the error out. But you would 5-10°C off in a lot of places. You'd need to say what temperature range you really wanted to be most right - say, 100 to 130, and plop the line closest to teh real curve in that region, which would make it quite wrong down at the lower temperatures. Let me just say that HPTuners are not being realistic in only allowing for a simple linear curve. 
    • I feel I should re-iterate. The above picture is the only option available in the software and the blurb from HP Tuners I quoted earlier is the only way to add data to it and that's the description they offer as to how to figure it out. The only fields available is the blank box after (Input/ ) and the box right before = Output. Those are the only numbers that can be entered.
    • No, your formula is arse backwards. Mine is totally different to yours, and is the one I said was bang on at 50 and 150. I'll put your data into Excel (actually it already is, chart it and fit a linear fit to it, aiming to make it evenly wrong across the whole span. But not now. Other things to do first.
    • God damnit. The only option I actually have in the software is the one that is screenshotted. I am glad that I at least got it right... for those two points. Would it actually change anything if I chose/used 80C and 120C as the two points instead? My brain wants to imagine the formula put into HPtuners would be the same equation, otherwise none of this makes sense to me, unless: 1) The formula you put into VCM Scanner/HPTuners is always linear 2) The two points/input pairs are only arbitrary to choose (as the documentation implies) IF the actual scaling of the sensor is linear. then 3) If the scaling is not linear, the two points you choose matter a great deal, because the formula will draw a line between those two points only.
