Right Boof, firstly my dad doesn't have time to go on the internet, so I do it for him, if you want to right stupid comments to a 13 year old, by all means go ahead, im just hear for POSITIVE comments, and constructive critism, and since when has drifting become the new rice, about 3 months ago it was huge, to my belief, but please correct me if i'm wrong

That post sounded rather defensive have i hit a nerve?? Have YOU actually asked your DAD what HE wants to do with it or are you just asking questions for the sake of it (i seem to remember someone else on another forum being like this getting every turbo car under the sun and not getting any of them hrmmm :talk2hand) Seems at 13 though you won't be driving the car for a bit yet, even when you do get your licence i can't see an insurance company insuring a turbo import to a 16 year old, i have enough drama's and im 25!!

Yes thats the whole problem with drift, unless you are a FULLY SICK drifter these days you don't get respect, i get asked daily if i drift mine and when you reply with NO i prefer to turn corners you get weird looks and i've been abused at times as well...Drifting is good don't get me wrong just unless you can drift now you don't rate...Suits me don't worry :(

Nah man, not defensive, just sick of older guys sayin shit about me because im 13

Yes i am young but not immature, for insurance reasons i will not be drivin the 31, maybe something a bit more stock,

but honestly, it gets annoying when about 90% of people ignore or question you about age and honesty, firstly if I wanted to be a d@#k, i would lie about my age, secondly, if i wanted to be a lier, i would say that iv'e got a 2000000horse power R35, at least im honest,

but lets just leave it at that

sorry, I agree with Boof - good call. Methinks there is some time wasting and dreaming going on here, disguised as a legitimate question.

you reckon im dreaming, suit yourself mate, that pic in the avatar is my dads skyline, go to just got a skyline, youll even see pics, seriously, what is so hard about believing I aint a bulls@#$er

... just unless you can drift now you don't rate...Suits me don't worry :cheers:

You obviously come into touch with the wrong people - people who themselves have probably never even tried drift.

EVERYBODY starts at the beginning, I mix with some people that do drift regularly, the only time they get pissed off is with wanabes who talk the talk, but dont walk the walk.

anybody who truely loves the sport would only encourage others to give it a go. Hell, I cant drift for sh1t, but it didnt stop me thrashing my car at mallala while Bai (signals D1 driver) looked on. Did he look down his nose? Not bloody likely - did he laugh when I stoved my car into a concrete barrier - sure did, as did I, but I am sure he has totalled many a car in his time too.

Drift is here to stay, getting bigger all the time. Everybody should at least have a go at it before they start knocking it. Its just about as much fun as you can have with your clothes on.

the new rice? jeez that sounds awfully remaniscant of "only milk comes in 2 litres" its a valid sport, and draws bigger crowds at Malalla than V8 tourers.

I dont know why people automatically assume that Old Skyline = Drift, but I agree with Shane, people ask me all the time aswell, and when you answer "No" they look a bit perplexed.

To the little kid

People assume you are a dreamer because you seem to swap between speaking for yourself and your dad (if its really his questions...)

Yeah drift is the new rice, people make their cars look a bit driftish to look cool, I'm possibly guilty of this but I bought the wider dished wheels so I could put some stickier rubber on while retaining a smaller diameter for a bit more sidewall flex, and the car had a big muffler off the boat, and I really dont give a **** what the car looks like anyway (which is why I cant remember the last time I washed it and I refuse to patch up a few things that were bodged when I got it.... but you see a lot of cars around with the drift look now

[quote To the little kid. People assume you are a dreamer because you seem to swap between speaking for yourself and your dad (if its really his question).

All righty then, i really dont want to appear as a dreamer to those who think i am, i just want to gain information about my favourite car obviuosly, and at my age, if people think i am a dreamer, thats understandable, because i know there are lots of annoying 13 year olds out there, like i said before, i just come to this site to firstly discuss, and share knowledge since my dad doesnt have time for this stuff, i go on here

anyway cheers to those out ther who are helpful and can look past my age

Tom

u cant stop a 13 yr olds dream, i have a dream and im 13, i dream to have a nice japanese imports, its his dads car, if him and his dad want to drift it then let them, its their car, its their choice, just coz ppl are younger than u r duznt mean u have to criticise them for having dreams, remember when u set ure mind to sumthing u can do nething

i leave it at that

    • I think the concept is highlighting the various scenarios where thicker oil helps, and thicker oil potentially doesn't help and only generates heat and costs power, in turn for safety which isn't actually any safer (unless you're going real hot). If anything this does highlight why throwing Castrol 10w-60 for your track days is always a solid, safe bet. 
    • Jason should have shown a real viscosity vs temp chart. All the grades have very little viscosity difference at full operating temperature.
    • Oops... I meant to include the connector  view... BR/W - power from fuse L/W - motor negative to fan control amp (and off to HVAC pin19) OR/B - PWM signal (from HVAC pin20) B --  ground  
    • Yep, if you are applying filler it sounds like there is something wrong with the body lol. Safe to assume there is going to be a lot of sanding going on if your still applying fillers.  Picture a perfect bare metal panel, smooth as glass. You lay down your primer, it's perfect. (why are you going to sand it?) You lay down the colour and clear, it's perfect. No sanding at all took place and you've got a perfectly finished panel.  You won't be chasing your tail, sounds like you were prepping to start laying filler. If your happy with the body after the sanding, there is some bare metal exposed and some areas with primer, no issues at all, start laying the filler. You are safe to lay filler on bare metal or primer (of course check your technical data sheet as usual for what your filler is happy to adhere to).  This isn't a 100% correct statement. There is primer that is happy to adhere to smooth bare metal. There are fillers that are happy to adhere to smooth bare metal. Just make sure you're using the right materials for the job.  Typically if you are using filler, you would go primer, colour and clear. I've never seen any instances before where someone has laid colour over body filler (maybe this happens, but I haven't seen it before). So your plan sounds pretty normal to me. 
    • I don't think there's any way someone is push starting this car.. I honestly can barely move it, and moving it and steering it is just flat out not possible. I'm sure it is, but needs a bigger man than me. I have a refurbished starter now. The starter man was quite clear and consise showing me how nothing inside a starter really should contribute to slow cranking, and turned out that for the most part... my starter was entirely fine. Still, some of the wear items were replaced and luckily it didn't show any signs of getting too hot, being unfit for use, etc. Which is 'good'. I also noticed the starter definitely sounded different, which is a bit odd considering nothing should have really changed there.... Removed and refit, and we'll pretend one of the manifold bolts didn't fully tighten up and is only "pretty" tight. GM only wants 18ft/lb anyway. I also found a way to properly get my analog wideband reading very slightly leaner than the serial wideband. There's Greg related reasons for this. The serial output is the absolute source of truth, but it is a total asshole to actually stay connected and needs a laptop. The analog input does not, and works with standalone datalogging. Previously the analog input read slightly richer, but if I am aiming at 12.7 I do not want one of the widebands to be saying 12.7 when the source of truth is 13.0. Now the source of truth will be 12.65 and the Analog Wideband will read 12.7. So when I tune to 12.7 it'll be ever so slightly safer. While messing with all of this and idling extensively I can confirm my car seems to restart better while hot now. I did add an old Skyline battery cable between the head and the body though, though now I really realise I should have chosen the frame. Maybe that's a future job. The internet would have you believe that this is caused by bad grounds. In finding out where my grounds actually were I found out the engine bay battery post actually goes to the engine, as well as a seperate one (from the post) to the body of the car. So now there's a third one making the Grounding Triangle which is now a thing. I also from extensive idling have this graph. Temperature (°C) Voltage (V) 85 1.59 80 1.74 75 1.94 70 2.1 65 2.33 60 2.56 55 2.78 50 2.98 45 3.23 40 3.51 35 3.75 30 4.00   Plotted it looks like this. Which is actually... pretty linear? I have not actually put the formula into HPTuners. I will have to re-engage brain and/or re-engage the people who wanted more data to magically do it for me. Tune should be good for the 30th!
