I agree with hicks ay, I dont think its age, it all comes down to road awareness and common sense, like I've only had my license for just over a year but I've had my license long enough to know I can drive better than like 75% of people on the road, most people just dont have a clue when it comes to driving ay

dont mean to brag or nuttin but thats just tha way I see it, I know when to be careful on the road or when theres an opportunity to have a bit of a thrash but yeah it comes down to being sensible and knowing the limits of ure car

I don't think it would be age...but I can't really say seeing as I'm the youngest here but I think its all to do with the attitude of the driver.

Anyone see that story Today Tonight ran about young people in high performance cars? They had 3 blokes with an S14, modded WRX and GTR. It sorta proves what phat25t said...."it comes down to being sensible and knowing the limits of ure car"

I've got a link to the story if anyone is interested.

i agree there aswell, some have more roadsense than others which can keep them out of trouble, but that doesnt mean they can handle a scary situation.

You may think your a good driver but when it comes down to it, most people panic and lock it up.

I use to be like everyone else thinking I was a top notch driver, doing this and doing and getting away with it, but when it comes down to the crunch in a scary situation this wasn't the case.

I try to race at MC +max action every month now to help improve my driving..

BTW, everyone get your asses into gear and race at the PRO-MAX challenge.. get some skylines in there and show everyone what they and YOU can do.. panzy's :D

I partially agree with the comments regarding age where there is more chance of them losing control but attitude has the most to do with it. There are some older d#ckheads out there who couldn't drive a shopping trolley.

Makes me jealous though the age of some of you guys having Skylines as I am 34 and only just got one. Started out with a Ford Escort then a Corolla !!! Sports and performance cars were only but dreams in the mid 80's.

Good to see some of you though are 25 plus - doesn't make me feel so bad being so old

I don't think age has a lot to do with it. Don't get me wrong, a fresh P plater is obviously more likely to crash, but I don't think you can say a 20 year old is a worse driver compared to a 30 year old, just because the 30 year old has had more driving time under his belt. I think you can drive or you can't. And as far as i've seen, on all the cruises, most people here seem to handle there car pretty nicely.

My 2c.

Although most of the youngies here would argued that age does not matter, and it comes down to the driver's ability and common sense.

Well having turn 30 recently I have to disagree :D. In general, young male driver between 18-25 age group have the highest fatality rate of all age groups. Why is it that insurance company won't insure people less than 25 yr old, and if they do, the premium is so high ??

I think at this age people tend to take MORE risk and coupled with the inexperience driver behind a high powered car you’ve got a nasty combination. I don’t know why people tend to take more risk at this age, and mellowed out when they get older, perhaps because the testosterone stop flowing as you get older, or perhaps losing your hair stops you from going out and impressing the ladies or perhaps you just realized you're just a human being and accepted your own frailty..

    • Sounds like you've got an interesting adventure ahead here with local support if you have trouble! My guess is that, unboosted, you will be OK with a small upgrade like -9. What will happen is that once the stock ECU sees more airflow than it expects it will add a heap of fuel and pull a heap of timing to be safe because it can't understand how it could get that much air without there being an issue. You will see clouds of black smoke and it won't pull hard through the midrange and top end. So, overall it will be a bit frustrating but should be OK. If you are still nervous set the base timing back 2o through the CAS, but it will be even more sluggish everywhere. As said above through...this is not my guarantee your engine won't be blown into a million pieces, leaving you looking for very hard to find parts A better idea is get a computer with logging ASAP, wire in a wide band O2 sensor and a use remote tuner. I've done multiple cars this way and while it is not as good as a specific tune on a dyno they can get it 90% right. I'd suggest if you can afford an R33 GTR these days you can afford an ECU and tune. And if you can't afford that you sure won't be able to afford the rebuild if it goes bad in the meantime,.  
    • Yeah it would be nice if someone took the time to put that sort of information together, but there are a lot of variations in looms. I think you are making this way hard for yourself if you just want to get it running....sourcing an SR20 with the right wiring will be a billion times easier than matching the RB loom to an S15 chassis. If you do end up going this way, you just need to trace every wire in the loom with a multimeter, 95% of them will go to a location you can confirm at the ECU.....and then post it up for the next person who needs it  
    • Just top it up with water, and keep a general idea of how much you added. It is normal for water to be pushed into and pulled out of the reservoir through the cap, and it should not be more than half full or it will be likely to overflow when hot. Any decent mechanic can do a pressure test of the cooling system to confirm if you have a leak. Keep in mind if it is only leaking a little and when hot it may well evaporate before you see it hit the ground
    • I'd ask the shop what they used and use that. Mixing coolants is sometimes OK, sometimes not, and you have know the details of each coolant to know whether it's a good idea or not.
    • Is it alright to top up with just another green coolant?
