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

I come from team drag and still enjoy track days. Are you saying we are all tools. Pete Im so cut

    • I thought that might be the case, thats what I'll start saving for. Thanks for the info 
    • Ps i found the below forum and it seems to be the same scenario Im dealing with. Going to check my ECU coolant temp wire tomorrow    From NICOclub forum: s1 RB25det flooding at start up Thu Apr 11, 2013 7:23 am I am completely lost on this. Car ran perfectly fine when I parked it at the end of the year. I took the engine out and painted the engine bay, and put a fuel cell with an inline walbro 255 instead of the in tank unit I had last year. After reinstalling everything, the engine floods when the fuel pump primes. if i pull the fuel pump fuse it'll start, and as soon as I put the fuse back in it starts running ridiculously rich. I checked the tps voltage, and its fine. Cleaned the maf as it had some dust from sitting on a shelf all winter, fuel pressure is correct while running, but wont fire until there is less than 5psi in the lines. The fuel lines are run correctly. I have found a few threads with the same problem but no actual explanation of what fixed it, the threads just ended. Any help would be appreciated.

I found the problem though. There was a break in one of the ecu coolant temp sensor wires. Once it was repaired it fired right up with no problems. I would have never thought a non working coolant temp sensor would have caused such an issue.
    • Hi sorry late reply I didnt get a chance to take any pics (my mechanics on the other side of the city) but the plugs were fouled from being too rich. I noticed the MAF wasn't genuine, so I replaced it with a genuine green label unit. I also swapped in a different ignitor, but the issue remains. I've narrowed it down a bit now: - If I unplug and reconnect the fuel lines and install fresh spark plugs, the car starts right up and runs perfectly. Took it around the block with no issues - As soon as I shut it off and try to restart, it won't start again - Fuel pressure while cranking is steady around 40 psi, injectors have good spray, return line is clear, and the FPR vacuum is working. It just seems like it's getting flooded after the first start I unplugged coolant sensors to see if its related to ECU flooding but that didnt make a difference. Im thinking its related to this because this issue only started happening after fixing coolant leaks and replacing the bottom part of the stock manifolds coolant pipe. My mechanic took off the inlet to get to get to do these repairs. My mechanics actually just an old mate who's retired now so ill be taking it to a different mechanic who i know has exp with RBs to see if they find anything. If you have any ideas please send em lll give it a try. Ive tried other things like swapping the injectors, fuel rail, different fuel pressure regs, different ignitor, spark plugs, comp test and MAF but the same issue persists.
    • My return flow is custom and puts the return behind the reo, instead of at the bottom. All my core is in the air flow, rather than losing some of it up behind the reo. I realise that the core really acts more as a spiky heatsink than as a constant rate heat exchanger, and that therefore size is important.... but mine fits everything I needed and wanted without having to cut anything, and that's worth something too. And there won't be a hot patch of core up behind the reo after every hit, releasing heat back into the intake air.
    • There is a really fun solution to this problem, buy a Haltech (or ECU of your choice) and put the MAF in the bin.  I'm assuming your going to want more power in future, so you'll need to get the ECU at some stage. I'd put the new MAF money towards the new ECU.
