............Bollox. Really don't wanna argue but logic says that someone who is interested in drag racing but can only afford a $5000 IS going to get chopped by someone who is interested in drag racing who pours $100 g's into a car. All other factors being equal.  Nothing means 0 and it is not 0.

Haha, yeah i dont want to get into an argument either mate. And i have to agree to disagree, u are quite correct though im merely outlining the fact that there are different ways to go about things and spending a heap of cash is not one of them. Tell me the cheapest way to get an NA 33 into the 12 second bracket, and ill tell u i did it with less than 6g's Read my thread "Time for NA power..." although most people said it couldnt be done i did and it now has been, if i invested more time into the project with relatively few more mods this car would run into the low 12's possibly high elevens though circumstances lead to me loosing interest in the project and the beast is now for sale. The new project is already a dead paper weight in the garage, 33 vspec, with blown turbos and alot of legal concerns need to be sorted regarding my warranty on the vehicle and repairs before any development can go ahead but this car will run 10's or relatively close with about the same amount of money o have spent on my previous project. Stay tuned.

you guys should try your luck with one of my mates who runs a EVO 4WD drivetrain setup in his FTO with the VR4 engine :D custom built for track racing and pimping tho, not for drags.

The FTO's are 1190kg's make 150kw & 200nm of torque.

and approx (don't quote) mid 7's to 100km/h and lowish to mid 15 sec 1/4's.

Actually GR FTO's are 125kw and mivec GPX are 145kw.

Interesting Fact : Did you know Mitsubishi made a 4 cyl FTO but i dont think anyone bought it.

if it was ' a bee's dick' then i wouldn't call it chopped.

Quoting Vin diesal in Fast n Furious " It doesnt matter if you win by an inch or a mile, winning is winning"

and as much as i hate the FTO, i do admit it is fast compared to other NA cars and have heard some stories of a done up FTO choppin a few type Rs n shyt...at the end of the day, and FTO is n FTO and its a box....

isn't the mitsy eclipse a FWD as well?

It is - at least the only one in Australia is. -Owned by a US Pilot that come over here to fly for Ansett after the pilots strike. Bob Hawke himself approved the importation of the car and subsequent use on Aust. roads WITHOUT CURRENT REGO! -Just some special paperwork. Met the owner at an Ansett BBQ who told me all about it many years ago.

AWD is available in the US and kicks most nissan and other :Oops: butt.

Hey, I own a Starion as well. :D

Man i don't know why all your N/a are so slow.

ive got a 1994 GTS25 5 speed, all that i have done to it is K&N filter, when i got it, it had a exhaust and thats all that i know of. no extractors. its got 4ws and a LSD.

and i am yet to loose a race to a V6 commodore or falcon.

ive raced 3 r32 GTS-t got to about 120km/h and i was 1 1/2 car lenghts in front of them.

raced a 5L VN Calais with extractors and exhaust and left him about 1 car lenght behind me as soon as i got out of second.

ive raced a BA XR6 N/A same as above.

on a cold day me car does 0-100km/h in anywhere form 6.5- 6.9 seconds. thats if i change gears on time.

Meh, The R33 GTS's are nice cars, if you got chopped by a GTO, goodluck to the GTO, you might chop his ass next time on a better day, Theres no reason you couldnt.

Couple of minor mods should do the trick.

i have a bit of fun beating commodores and falcons and whatever else off the line and then just sit on the speed limit, they get pretty damn cut and then take off (and sometimes loose it on the straight, lol).

:bs!:

You definately need a little more skill to drive these turbo skylines compared to say a pftt.. V8 Commodore.. hahaha

Brainless just put your foot down those commo's/fords.. heheh :P

A Skyline is a drivers car.. :)

A Commodore/ford is a cruiser car. :)

    • Here is the mess that I made. That filler there was successful in filling dents in that area. But in the middle area. I can feel dents. And I've gone ocer it multiple times with filler. And the filler is no longer there because i accidently sanded it away. I've chased my tail on this job but this is something else lol. So I'm gonna attempt filler one more time and if it doesn't work I'll just high fill primer the door and see where the issues are because guidecoat is of no use atm.
    • Ok, so I think I sort of figured out where I went wrong. So I definitely overthinked it, and I over sanded, which is probably a large part of the problem. to fix it, I ended up tapping some spots that were likely to be high, made them low, filled them in, and I tackled small sections at a time, and it feels a lot better.    I think what confused me as well is you have the bare metal, and some spots darker and some are lighter, and when I run my finger across it, it' would feel like it's a low spot, but I think it's just a transition in different texture from metal to body filler.    When your finger's sliding on the body filler, and crosses over to the bare metal, going back and forth, it feels like it's a low spot. So I kept putting filler there and sanding, but I think it was just a transition in texture, nothing to do with the low or high spot. But the panel's feels a lot better, and I'm just going to end up priming it, and then I'll block it after with guide coat.   Ended up wasting just about all of my filler on this damn door lol  
    • -10 is plenty for running to an oil cooler. When you look at oil feeds, like power steering feeds, they're much smaller, and then just a larger hose size to move volume in less pressure. No need for -12. Even on the race cars, like Duncans, and endurance cars, most of them are all running -10 and everything works perfectly fine, temps are under control, and there's no restrictions.
    • Update: O2 sensor in my downpipe turned out to be faulty when I plugged in to the Haltech software. Was getting a "open circuit" warning. Tons of carbon buildup on it, probably from when I was running rich for a while before getting it corrected. Replaced with new unit and test drove again. The shuffle still happens, albeit far less now. I am not able to replicate it as reliably and it no longer happens at the same RPM levels as before. The only time I was able to hear it was in 5th going uphill and another time in 5th where there was no noticeable incline but applying more throttle first sped it up and then cleared it. Then once in 4th when I slightly lifted the throttle going over a bump but cleared right after. My understanding is that with the O2 sensor out, the ECU relies entirely on the MAP tune and isn't able to make its small adjustments based on the sensors reading. All in all, a big improvement, though not the silver bullet. Will try validating the actuators are set up correctly, and potentially setting up shop time to tune the boost controller on closed loop rather than the open loop it is set to now. Think if it's set up on closed loop to take the O2 reading, that should deal with these last bits. Will try to update again as I go. 
    • More so GReddy oil relocation kits, sandwich plates, etc. all use 10AN fittings. And same, I've only used 10AN and my car sees track work (circuit, doing laps, not 10 sec squirt business).
