to be honest, i think banning p platers from driving high performance vechiles will significantly cut down the problem. i am 18 and on my green p's. and i know that i am contradicting myself when i say that im looking to buy a import a bit further down the line, cause im all for the power restrictions. but im still getting a import, because, well, i can.

I think its very dodgy how people that can't even read or speak english are on our roads with lisences, that is also dangerous!

Maybe the government should arrange better availability for use of tracks, for people to go to rather than on the roads.

I am sorry to hear about the accident although I hate thinking the impression it gives us skyline drivers!

take it easy

Im all for power to weight restrictions Frankie

Because that shit don't affect us :P

I'm reminded of how things are different now that P platers have to wear them for 3 years and there's lots more paperwork and tests.

Even if there's education and all the restrictions in the world, kids will still crash high powered cars. You know that sick |

I don't think P/W restrictions is going to help.

A stock Falcon does 182kW, a Commodore now does 175/190kW.

The sad fact is that these things are endemic to our nature just as John Conner says in Terminator 2.

But you can still reach 160km/hr in a Corolla.

What happens when they start crashing cars like that when dragging on the M2/4/5?

it takes alot of bitumen to get to 160km/h though....

let them, motorways are far more safer to go high speeds on - weren't they built for just that?

maybe you should include people who can't spell either mate :P

Well ive just come back from the Northern beaches earlier this evening when i saw no less than 3 R33 GTS-T's speed off from traffic lights and one white R33 GTS-T series 2 with BC or DC as the first two letters of the plate racing a commodore along the main road in Mona Vale - If this is you, your a fawking idiot.

That was probably me... lol jkz

So you chopped the Commodore?

Good one bruv :P

Seriously, there are lotsa tools in Skylines.

One thing though... apparently this incident that sparked off this conversation was not a drag... just a cruise and they guy just hit boost and spun out at 70km/h.

I call some suspicion but it's not more believable than a 33 dragging a Honda Civic :confused:

"Government should make race tracks more available"

lol this is gold if you join 3 car clubs you could do a supersprint every weekend for 100 buck and actually learn to drive

my experience is that the people with really done up cars(looks and rice) come to one day find out there shit cant take it (cant understand why a 50 year old laps quicker in there mini) and never come back cause there not fast enough and not looking cool enough... lol

best one i ever saw was a mirage with all the rice...stick it into the wall on the first lap at Oran park(must have thought it was Brighton and tried to do 150 around a 90 corner)

People whinge about access to race track if all the p platers out there actually wanted to go to the track suddenly there would be more days due to demand

i must say there are diffrent people who attend drags and circuit day..

and in general that is a good thing ... the two dont mix and i must say i like it that way

im all for getting more younger drivers down to the track but realistically i like the fact they dont go there and "in general" the people who do are people i would assosiate with more

but i supose there are just as many up themselves people at circuit day as there are tool at the drags..

lol

    • 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.
