i dont think anyone takes to kindly to loosing.  

If i ever see this car again, i will be sure to be more careful, infact i dont think i will ever drag again.

Well I don't think that's the right attitude :mad: I think you should be driving straight to your favourite workshop and asking them what your next mod should be, so you can kick that guy's ass the next time you see him (at Eastern Creek of course) :uh-huh:

No-one takes kindly to losing, but calling him a wanker and accusing him of running NOS when you have no idea what modifications he's done to his car is a little over the top IMHO.

As others have said, the "sleeper" look is very popular these days with guys who don't want all that extra Police attention... I guess you're just one more he can chalk up to his ":Owned: List" :thumbsup:

I’d be wary of green 200sx’s. I know of 3 that look mild but pack a punch. One even had a avo stage 2 cooler that I couldn’t see in broad daylight (I shit you not) plus a 400hp garrett with the 0.6 a/r housing that you couldn’t pick. Chuck on a nice dual muffler jap exhaust with the stock looking tips plus the fuel system/ecu you couldn’t see and there is your 230rwkw 200sx.

Very sneaky customers…

Exactly why the disrespect for NOS users? It's a power adder, functions by stuffing more oxygen and fuel into the chambers, just like a turbo. It has to be set up right, just like a turbo. If you use enough of it you have to build your engine specifically for it - just like a turbo.

Maybe you need some :D

Well technically, what happens is the nitrous oxide breaks up under the heat and pressure into nitrogen and oxygen, hence the oxygen; and the cooling is a welcome side effect. Also unless you are using a "dry" system (shudders) the nitrous system will add enough fuel so that you don't run lean.

I don't use it BTW, I just don't despise it like a lot of people seem to.

I can get him off the mark but thats it.

I never race....

Unlike some crazy old men. MRE your the burnout master.

My turbo doesn't kick in until 4000rpm. So it bogs down off the line.

MRE, your car is pretty stock. Does damn good burnouts too.

My car wouldn't be very quick down the 1/4 mile. Last time I run CTH15 (red rx7) I could just pull away from him. He ran a high 10. But his car is setup for the 1/4. Gets off the line really well. GTS32 (black r32 gtst with rb26), thats very fast of the street, yet not very good on 1/4.

Even Rodneys Gold supra has beaten subzero try09 on the street. That dupra would be lucky if he got a high 12. But Rod cheats, Try-09 runs out of gears and the dupra just keeps going.

Yep thats my point.

Many cars are set up in different ways.

I think he just had a run in with one that was running a Big Turbo and it just took him a bit get the mumbo down.

I saw "Rodneys Gold supra " in action last Saturday night.

Wheel spining @ 100+..............:burnout: Serious mumbo :)

hehe little trick to that. Personally I don't try it cause I'll end up around a pole. Put the clutch in, Rev ya car to 6500rpm while doing 80km/h Change to 2nd or 3rd. Drop ya clutch.. Tell me what happens :)

I did that along smith street one night.. Was showing a mate what rod does. Never again!!! Arse of the car just went completely sideways.. Lucky there was no one next to me, or any parked cars.

      R32 GTS (RB20DE) Injectors Replacement

      By GabsReDeal · Posted

      I checked the injectors again (1 and 2, since they’re easiest to access) to make sure they weren’t clogged. Even though the entire fuel system had been cleaned, I wanted to be certain. Everything looked clean, so I reinstalled and connected everything. When I started the car to confirm everything was okay, it immediately revved up high, so I shut it off straight away. I checked to see if I’d missed a vacuum hose or something, but everything was connected. On the second attempt, the car ran without the high idle, but I noticed a distinct “compressed air” sound coming from the engine bay. Tracing the sound, I pushed injector #6 forward slightly and the noise stopped — it turned out it wasn’t seated properly, despite the fuel rail being bolted down. While holding it in place, the car idled steadily without stalling and ran for over 5 minutes. At this point, I pulled all six injectors out just in case I hadn’t seated them correctly or dirt had gotten onto the O-rings. Unfortunately, I discovered that I had damaged 3 out of 6 injectors (the OEM 270cc ones) during installation. So yes, this was my fault. Since only the pintle caps were damaged, I’ve ordered a Fuel Injector Service Kit from NZEFI to refurbish them. In the meantime, I reinstalled my new injectors – the car now idles fine for over 15 minutes without stalling. I have not attempted to drive it so far. It’s not perfect yet, as it hesitates when the throttle is pressed, but it’s a big improvement. Unplugging the IACV with the new injectors idles at around 800rpm, even with the IACV screw tightened fully. But this is probably due to tune.

      I wanted to try and preserve the front bumper as long as possible, they're not cheap and are made to order in Japan. Taking inspiration from my previous K11 Micra build where I made an undertray for the Impul bumper, I did the same for this BN Sports bumper but a little slimmed down.  This time round I only made a 'skid plate' (if that's the correct wording/term) for just the bumper surface area, the Micra version covered the gap like an undertray. Starting off with a sheet of mild steel approx. 0.9mm thick 4ft x 2ft in size. I traced around the bumper, cut it out and cleaned the edges. Luckily I was able to get two halves from one piece of metal In the video I installed it as is, but I've since then I've removed it to spray and add a rubber edging trim. The rubber trim is suitable for 1-2mm and it's a really nice tight fit. The bolts had to be loosened due to the plates being too tight against the bumper, the trim wouldn't push on I used some stainless M6 flat headed bolts for a flusher finish (rather than hex heads poking down), I believe this style fastener is used for furniture too incase you struggle to source some. The corner's are a little wider, but this may be an advantage incase I get close to bumping it  The front grill got some attention, finally getting round to repairing it. Upon removal one fixing pulled itself out of the plastic frame, one side is M8 that fixes inside of the frame, where as the other side is M5. Not knowing I could get replacements, I cut down an M8 bolt, threaded it inside the frame along with a decent amount of JB Weld.  The mesh was replaced to match the bumper. One hole on the bonnet/hood had to be drilled out to 8mm to accommodate the new stud, once the glue had set it could be refitted. I think the reason the grill was double meshed was to hide the horn/bonnet latch (which makes sense) but I much prefer it matching the bumper Bumper refitted and it's looking much better IMO The Youtube video can be seen here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bVZP35io9MA
