I think its more a case of misrepresentation of the owner and the car by the mag in this case. By pandering to the kiddies that read the mag, they've lost the attention to detail and aren't on the pulse about what interests true enthusiasts, and other skyline owners who want to build similar cars or are simply curious as to what lies under the hood.

Albert/4evagtrs, you're not representing ANY of the members of this forum with your comments, so please don't try to pass yourself off as a Skyline enthusiast. In fact, here... have a ban.

Reading this thread confirmed a few things for me;

#1 Don't let my car get into a magazine, they will sensationalise anything for a headline and make me look like an idiot

#2 Don't let my car get into a magazine, they will make mistakes that make me look like a fool

#3 If I just have to have my car in a magazine, proof read every word and picture, otherwise they will make errors of fact and judgement that will make me look stupid

#4 Don't believe everything I see written in a magazine, they make mistakes that make me look like a goose when I quote them

#5 Don't count on increasing the value of my car because it's been in a magazine, everyone now knows it has been living on the edge and engine failure is only a bad batch of fuel or a hot day away. Plus because of #1, #2 and #3 they think I am an idiot/stupid/fool/goose and wouldn't buy a car off me if it was the last one on earth.

#6 Since it's been in a magazine, my car is now the target for every thief that wants to steal it. For every idiot that wants to drag it off. For every RTA inspector who wants to defect it. For every cop who wants it off the roads because I am a car enthusiast, hoon and a menace to society.

If you ever see an article on one of my cars in a magazine you will know I wrote it myself, took the pictures and proof read it at least 3 times. I don't trust journalists, they are there to sell magazines, not look after my interests. Plus I will have changed the colour, the rego, my name and lied about the state it's in. So if you see a pink R32GTST with Tassy rego, "FAKE" number plates and "HobartKid" as the owner you will know it's mine.

:blink: cheers :D

PS; no offence to Tasmanians.

he works with computers.. The car was not an overnight build. was approx 2 years in the making...

Off topic, but is it just me or is every car in those mags built with the proceeds of "working in I.T." or "working with computers"....Amazing how many early 20s computer geeks with huge disposable incomes there are these days! :O

Thats correct, im one of em :P

Reasonably well paid, virtually no expense's (read: a Mrs)

beats being a uni bum :)

I've worked FT for 4 years, straight outta school and into my current job within 6 months.

Not that this thread is about school, or the I.T Industry :P

#5 Don't count on increasing the value of my car because it's been in a magazine, everyone now knows it has been living on the edge and engine failure is only a bad batch of fuel or a hot day away.

As many a time before, couldnt agree more.

The truth is out there

    • @Darrel It's so tempting to say e85 is borderline magic. It cools the intake charge, so if you're flirting with the edge of the turbos compressor map it helps dramatically cool down the hot air the turbos are pumping. It is very resistant to detonation so you can crank the timing, I don't really want to say you won't be knock limited anymore.... but you probably wont be knock limited anymore lol. I wouldn't be surprised if you made 20% more power swapping to e85 (provided you have the fuel system to support them, bigger injectors maybe bigger pump etc). 
    • @Murray_Calavera nah, not available yet, they're gearing up for it but won't be available for a few years. So you reckon fuel is the main issue? When this bottom did over 600rwhp it was running big single, twin Z32 MAFs and believe it or not, e manage blue, an old school piggyback 😅 not really a fair comparison but I guess it shows how a big single differs to smallish twins.   
    • @Darrel Can you get pump e85 where you are? If you want to max out those turbos, e85 + bigger modern injectors will be the easiest way to get you there. 
    • Hi @Butters , thanks for your reply. Pump 97 BTW but yeah, I get that old tech is what it is and can't compare to modern stuff but I still believe 500 is achievable, even with these smallish twins. Their effective limit is around what, 24 psi? Intend to go single one day but then again, I'm not chasing big power and might not be worth the investment. Just wondering what if any factors are limiting my setup after a few changes. Let's call this Dyno 02. This is after R35 MAFs, 720cc injectors, DW300 FP, HKS step 2 264/264 cams.
    • Was away on holidays last week and hadn't heard from powder coater, so I gave them a bell and it was all ready. Went and picked it up yesterday and gave it a clean this afternoon and started bolting it up.  Mate finally got around to ordering my new ECU, hopefully thats here this week and I can start getting that mounted and finish the wiring on it. Tomorrow I'll try and get the exhaust back in and see what else I can tick off the list
