Dam these Bloody skylines!!! I wasnt even into cars before i bought one, i didnt even know ANYTHING about cars before i bought one. I bought my modded GTST and the power scared me so much i nearly sold the thing right away *my first car was a 60kw Excel then a 200 rwkw skyline, but after time the power just kept feeling less & less and all I can think about now is my next mod. I fall asleep thinking of how to get my car faster... Dam these skylines, they make modding a car more addictive than crack. I want to have a 11 sec car... but if i get my gtst maxed out for 11's , i'll only want 10s!! Dam these machines, addictiveness sent from hell. Now i just wana get a GTR so i can make some serious horsepower & probably blow ALL my money on having a ridiculously quick car. I need to be satisfied with what i got... AHHHHHHH:crazy:

haha... maybe crack will be a cheaper habit :rofl:

Anything will feel slow after a while.. When your line feels slow, drive and excel or a barina for a week then hop back into your line.. It will feel as fast as hell!!!!!

SAU does not condone the use of crack :jk:

who here actually drives an excel for a week just to get sky-high again?

If your worried about getting addicted to "skylining" then choose a less addictive (and less costly) habit, such as Gambling, drinking or maybe become an adrenaline junkie and start skydiving (avoid the pun)

Guys I drive a 1982 Ford laser all week to work and back!

On Friday night my urge to drive my 340 rwhp skyline is stronger than any addiction to any drug :-)

And yes the line feels a whole heap faster on the 1st day when you have been driving a laser all week... by sunday you are used to it all over again... then back to the ooooold laser :-( It's monday and I am already having withdrawal symptoms...... i need a hit of skyline please Mr Dealer ahahah :-)

I feel the pain. I was so proud of myself, being able to save money, till i bought my skyline. Now it only stays in my bank long enough till i can afford a power fc, intercooler, boost controller.....the list is never ending....I'm pretty much stock at the mo (only had the car 2 months) but in my head i'm chasing 2000rwkw (no thats not a typo)

If someone has a cure for this ( i cannot in any way forsee this coming to a natural end) please let me know.

the only cure for your 2000rwkw addiction is to actually satisfy it. But then you might be left wanting more... MORE :D

      Mistakes were made, my R34 Story

      By Kinkstaah · Posted

      I'm back from the dyno - again! I went looking for someone who knew LS's and had a roller dyno, to see how it shaped up compared to everything else and confirm the powerband really is peaking where Mr Mamo says it should. TLDR: The dyno result I got this time definitely had the shape of how it feels on the road and finally 'makes sense'. Also we had a bit more time to play with timing on the dyno, it turns out the common practice in LS is to lower the timing around peak torque and restore it to max after. So given a car was on the dyno and mostly dialled in already, it was time for tweaking. Luis at APS is definitely knowledgable when it came to this and had overlays ready to go and was happy to share. If you map out your cylinder airmass you start seeing graphs that look a LOT like the engine's torque curve. The good thing also is if you map out your timing curve when you're avoiding knock... this curve very much looks like the inverse of the airmass curve. The result? Well it's another 10.7kw/14hp kw from where I drove it in at. Pretty much everywhere, too. As to how much this car actually makes in Hub Dyno numbers, American Dyno numbers, or Mainline dyno numbers, I say I don't know and it's gone up ~25kw since I started tinkering lol. It IS interesting how the shorter ratio gears I have aren't scaled right on this dyno - 6840RPM is 199KMH, not 175KMH. I have also seen other printouts here with cars with less mods at much higher "kmh" for their RPM due Commodores having 3.45's or longer (!) rear diff ratios maxing out 4th gear which is the 1:1 gear on the T56. Does this matter? No, not really. The real answer is go to the strip and see what it traps, but: I guess I should have gone last Sunday...

      What brakes on R34 GTT(Europe)

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      310mm rotors will be avilable from Australia, Japan, and probably a few other places. Nothing for the front can be put on the back.

      The filter only filters down to a specific size. Add to that, the filter is AFTER the pump. So it means everything starts breaking your pump even if its being filtered out.

      Just like in being 14mm too small (296mm) makes it not fit, being 14mm too big (324mm) it also won't fit. You want to find the correct rotor.

      @GTSBoy Ok so that was the shops problem...they showed R33 rotors on R34 page and i did not know 296 do not fit(and are for R33) Yes i bought "kit" with rotors and pads. Pads are ok(i have GTT calipers front and rear). They have some 324mm but no 310mm. So i dont know if they would fit. I have 17inch LMGT4s So another question. Can i fit those in the rear or they are just "too" big for that?
