I've had my r33 for nearly a year and have been meaning to ask this question since i bought it. I found a red road flare mounted under my glove box. Just wondering if they are in every skyline and also if it would still be ok to use (as its about 10 years old now i'm assuming).

Finally if i get drunk and decide to do party tricks with it do i just need to pop the top off to get it started?? (note: you will not be held liable for any stupid crap i do :rofl: )

Cheers

All J cars that I've been in in Japan have them. Dono if it's regulation or something but yeah they have it for safety.

I guess when they come to Aus they stop being for safety and start to be for fun :rofl:

Don't pop any near the sea I think that gets the coast guard/rescue people goin.

They work fine dude, just lit up a couple last week : )

Pop the top, and spark it up like a match (there is a section there to do it)

so its U who steals them before owners get them!!!!!

my old car had one, other than that i have rarely seen them, i guess the importers have all the fun!!!!!!

Check out the owners manual, i was curious about it so i flicked through that. From what i understood from the cartoons, it's for those occassions when your car breaks down on a railroad and you need to signal the train to stop. Or you could get off your ass and push the car.

thats why the r33 are so much better lol...maybe you could purchase an aftermarket super flare just to outdo us.

Yeah i'll have to think of something interesting to do with it. Maybe douse a mate in bourbon and throw it to him....hahah jokes.

guess i'll just keep it, never know when it might be needed, carjacking for example

    • Really, anyone modifying a car isn't being financially smart. We're doing it for the things we love. And honestly, a high revving, light, NA car is actually pretty darn fun. I used to have a Swift Sport, and I miss that thing as a daily, and yes, doing something like some intake and exhaust stuff would have made minimal gains, but would have bought an even bigger smile

    • Yeah, playing with naturally aspirated is not smart bang for your buck power wise, but then I've never been known for being smart when it comes to cars and modifications 
    • I mean from V8 world there are gains to be made in intakes and such over stock items, but definitely only if you tune them. We're talking about I dunno, 10kw here and there on a 300KW v8, gains made by tuning in the 0.2 AFR that it changes so YES but also no you won't notice it other than the sound. Duct the air as mentioned 750,000 times and you will notice happier IAT's which definitely make a difference N/A. I mean my unsubstantiated guess is you'd go from 140kw with everything stock (after cams) to 145kw with everything and a tune :p
    • I decided to "spend baby spend", and "risk it for the biscuit" 2 Orders were made buying parts that I "don't really need but really really want" totalling $2.5k AUD 1: In stock items (intake plenum and throttle body) 2: The airbox thingie, with no real ETA for them getting more stock, so patience will be required
