Since australia day, well since i have gotten my skyline (about 2 months ago now) there have been so many idiots that just do stupid things like tailgate me, and just cut me off. There must be a big sticker on my car that says tailgate me and cut me off please i like it.

Other than that, how many accidents have happened recently, last nite (australia day night) well about 1am the morning after ;) coming home, this vs commodore comes past me over the wrong side of the road doing 100+kmph in a 60 zone, comes up to a red light, goes through it, slamming his brakes, t-bones two cars, one of which got spun around and hit another oncoming car. Now the passenger got out with a blood soaked head, and got to the side of the road asking for help, an ambo did come later, and the driver staggered out of the car, looked fine, and then ran off a short while later, then the cops rocked up getting statements off everyone, this sort of driving activity shits me to tears, i tear up the road and race people to a certain speed, never dangerously or in any dangerous areas, maybe princess hwy sometimes :( hehe

so where is all the media placing commodore drivers as wankers?

oh hang on wait, if this was a skyline or 200sx, or any import it would of been on the news.

any ****wit that drives like that deserves severe punishment doesnt matter if they drive a skyline (looks around the room) lol

Geez, most commodores are too slow to cause major accidents, come on! haha

Nah in all honesty, Most drivers I see on the roads that have no idea are old/ middle aged and female, boganish middle age men in Commodores.. 20-25 year olds in Commodores.

And 17-20 in Imports.

But the most dangerous out of all those, being the Import drivers, as they're usually boosting around blind corners etc. Whereas the Commodore drivers are usually tailgating and the middle aged women just have no idea.

my prevoius cars, were in order of owning, a 1986 holden camira (throws up) a 1987 vl calais turbo, and a 1978 holden hz gts monaro, so as you can imagine most of my cars have been, well, they stand out. but i see people doing stupid things no matter what cars they have, i am actually finding that european car drivers (audi, bmw and mercedes) to name a few actually have no idea how to drive whats so ever. As if they think they are to good to have to follow the laws and have any sort of decency.

but yo get your good and bad drivers in all cars, just some more than others, young p-platers in performance cars, whether its a v8, turbo or what ever think they are top shit. I used to drive a bit like an idiot, but had the brains to do it in the right sort of places, ie. totally visable, and totally empty road ahead.

Watch the road very carefully !!!!!!!!

also watch out for new cars with dints on them already ;)

They can't put shite in the media about commodores and falcons being dangerous and bad

I believe its all part of a governement plan to get rid of imports, they make it harder to import them, they bad mouth them in the news, they make us all out to be street racers. If they put bad stuff about australian made cars in the news, it'll lower the sales of the crappy holdens

I delivered my son's R33 after his return from o/s. No matter where I drove, someone wanted to go faster, and they were all Excells, Corollas etc. I took note the Clubsports and XR6 turbo's had nothing to prove, just cruised on with a wave.

I know what grunt it's got, how it can stop and handle generally.

But those little shit boxes going 120 plus on the pizza cutter tyres scare me as much as the 3 tonne 4-wheel drivers doing 130.

And what's with that bright red light on the rear skirt of Hyundai's. Got to be illegal, like driving into high beam continuously.

Regards.

The biggest problems i always find is the P platers in vn commodores. It doesn't seem to matter if they only have a v6 thats only running on 5 cylinders and is blowing smoke out the exhaust, as far as they are concerned if you see an import, its race time.

But since i have been driving a skyline for the past two years, it has become "normal" for me to be cut off or challenged to a race at every second set of lights. i suppose its the price you pay for having a nice car.

      The alloy coolant reservoir has a sight glass, so as long as I can see coolant in the sight glass it's GTG, as for PS, it isn't anything catastrophic if it gets low, and as it hasn't lost a drop since I have owned the car I cannot see it being an issue, even after putting the "big block" 2.5 in....LOL The only time it gets slightly messy is at oil changes, as the oil filter sits above the frame, and I need to use a plastic bottle with its bottom cut off to catch the flow when loosening the filter

      Good on you for taking on the job, but it is a big one. Even if you have bolt on manifold and turbo, you will need: Post throttle pressure source to boost controller to wastegate (and FPR, and ECU/MAP sensor) Pre throttle pressure source to top of BOV(s) Oil feed - you can take that from the standard port in the middle of the block Oil return to block under the turbo - this is much trickier than it seems to route a decent/wide pipe past the manifold. You really can't use rubber hose because it is way too hot there, and also the oil out of the turbo core is a bit frothy so it needs to have a decent diameter Water feed - you can take that from the standard port in the rear of the block. Water return - mine runs to a T into the heater box return, just make sure you don't create a high point making bleeding hard. All of those lines should use 200 series style teflon braided hose with heat shielding because everything needs to be routed past the manifold. Also a turbo beanie is a really good idea to minimise the chance of the car catching fire (under bonnet lining in particular) You also need to decide a cam cover breathing solution as well, will you vent externally via a catch can (probably illegal) or return to the intake (plumbing required and can oil up everything over time) Keep in mind the intake and exhaust piping in the engine bay will be custom so you either need to be able to fab ally and steel or have someone you can get a car that isn't running to. Get the wideband fitting welded into the dump pipe at the same time. Also, just my opinion, a screamer pipe attracts attention and doesn't add power, I'd plumb it back if you want to be allowed to keep the car on the road. BTW do you know anything about how healthy the motor is, and what power you are targeting? Doubling or tripling the factory power on an unknown motor is a little risky. Also fuel system will need some attention (pumps, high current hanger, direct power and earth feed, injectors etc)

      To back this up, I'm always looking on the outside, seeing the level, and then opening it up anyway, as I'm worried the level I've looked at, is more so a scunge line. Then you end up dipping your damn finger in it too depending on the type of tank you're looking at just to make sure I'm not going insane.   PS, Mark, polish up the none moroso one a bit and then give it a clear coat. The Moroso one looks to be way shiner (not mirror polished, just shinier) and it'll still look weird with the two different alloys beside each other. Either that, or Id probably paint them a flat black...
