Yesterday was nice weather as you all know, went for a cruise! However i was a bit pissed off when parked in a car park standing next to the car smokin a ciggie and some dude about 40 rolls past in his commo stationwagon and pops down the window and says ' aww how many of ur other mates have you killed in that car' , obiviously referring to the recent crash with the black skyline. F***ing wanker. I wont tell you what happened after that :D But is this the attitude of people to anyone owning a skyline? This dude was like 40 something...i'm surprised he even knew what a skyline was the fkn knob.

why do people assume that just cos u drive a fast car ur a hoon?

Cos they can never afford a good car, so they bag people who can. And the Skyline accident just gives them fuel... d!ckheads man, they'll always make those smart arse comments. I would've cracked it hard if it were me.

yeah there would be more commodore and falcon crashes BUT stats would only help if it was a RATIO figure. So say there are 2 million passenger vehicles in Vic, 5,000 are Skylines, 500,000 are commodores. Say you get 25 skyline crashes, 100 comodore crashes, the ratio for the Skyline crashes are 1:200 and the ratio for commodore is 1:500 - Even tho there are 4 times more commondoor crashes, relatively speaking, there isn't.

and did you know 78% of statistics are made up?

:D

kinda like people saying, well if fast cars are so dangerous, how come i don't see any Lamborghini Gallardo's crashing all over the place. uhhh because there might be 2 driving around in Oz???? All gotta be relative. Just like per capita type figures. By this stage tho, you've probably lost the commondoor driver with big words like "the".

If he was 40, male, caucasian, i would have made some peadophile comment. Not wanting to stereotype tho :D

    • Hey guys, Just want some advice on r34 GTT ac system. Since I’ve owned it, the ac compressor, doesn’t matter the set temperature or ambient temperature, runs for around 10 seconds then disengages the clutch, then re-engages everywhere 30 seconds or so and keeps repeating this.    is this normal?   I had it recharged today as it was slightly low and thought it would fix it but still does it. it cools fine in summer even prior to the recharge, except for the usual warmup when stopped or in traffic (still yet to wire overheat fan to on with ac)   any thoughts would be much appreciated 
    • To plug the hole. The engine plant may not have known whether the car it was going into had a gauge or not. It was a long time ago and the integrations might not have been fully modern. Or they might not have cared because the extra inventory and processes to save a few cents on the sender might have cost more anyway. But please tell me you are not still confusing the idea of a pressure gauge sender, and an oil pressure light switch. The switch will be out there. In a separate hole. Probably with only one wire running to it. Running the light.
    • Blower needs to go low on the exhaust side, displacing the AC and PS, which you have to decide whether you want to keep and how and where to relocate if you do. Electric option for PS is, at least, helpful. Sadly, there is no workable 12V electric AC of any value. Whilst the blower is the last compression step before the throttle, and so it might seem a good idea to have it near the inlet manifold (as mentioned above), you probably want it to go through an intercooler first, so, having it on the opposite side of the car facilitates that air flow path. The turbo discharges into the blower, so proximity of the turbo's compressor outlet to the blower's inlet is nice. But then you might want to intercool that too, before boosting it again....which would probably be a ball ache. Routing pipes out to the front and back could be a bit shit. If there was room for (at least) a small (but preferably larger) water to air core on that side, then that would probably be the best approach. I guess a reasonable alternative would be to locate the blower where the alternator is (more or less, associated with the inlet manifold, per Matt's thought), and somehow incorporate a water to air core into the manifold, sort of like they do for modern blown V8s. The big difference here though is that those V8s have only the one throttle (upstream the blower) and only the one compression step (the blower) and no need for too much in the way of bypass/blowoff valves. Whereas in a twin charged 6, you do need to think about one or two bypass valves associated with the 2 compressors and you would prefer to have the intercooling done before the air has to pass through the throttle. You'd like the throttle to work approx the same no matter what the compression is doing. But if it is located in hot air stream before a cooler, then sometimes the air will be real hot, sometimes it will be quite cool, and the throttle mapping/response will be quite different between those two cases. The throttle, if sized for hot air, would be too large for cold conditions. It's all a ball ache.
    • Package SC on exhaust side. Remote mount turbo. Still a fair bit of room when you get creative on the inlet side of the motor too. Especially if you can get really creative with the welding, and effectively build it into the bottom of the inlet manifold. Would definitely take some design work, and some trial and error, to make sure flow works well still! Might be easier to just start with the Nissan March though... All the work is already done for you...
