i thought they was spelt poogo and shitren thank god for spell check

It's Poogoe .... and I think you'll find Citron is much smarter than shitren (lookup what Citron stands for in a dictionary).

seeya,

Shane L.

PS: Oh cr@p .... One of you even has the name "mid life crisis".... You guys are hilarious ... There's nothing like taking the pi$$ out of yourself rolllaugh.gifrolllaugh.gifrolllaugh.gifrolllaugh.gif

Here's me expecting the usual braindead "my car is faster than yours" , "betcha I could beat your cr@pbox type comments" ....... Where's the "mines bigger than yours" type comments confused.gif I'm very impressed with the level of maturity around here given it's a skyline forum.

hey all,

i got a mate who works at nissan/renault,  who says they're the biggest buckets of shit on the road, not to mention the ugliest, the new ones just look wrong.

loved the pics of that clio sport burning. thanks for the wallpaper...

Don't forget who owns Nissan.... Yeah that's right, Renault.. the French. :lol:

well i'm just passing on what i've been told. he is the one who has to pull them apart and put em back together. apparently the windscreen wipers spin the wrong way, the indicator/wiper stalks are on the wrong side and just little stupid things like that, yes i know it is european, but every other company changes these before selling them

I love hearsay. The earth is flat! the earth is flat! I'm just passing on what i was told...

If you mind and therefore bodily motor functions can't convert to using stalks on the other side of a steering column, maybe you shouldn't be operating a vehicle.

And not "every other company" converts to RHS indicator stalks when importing to Australia - most euros I've driven recently run LHS indicator stalks...

But apart from those problems, nice observations :)

French cars have won the last five WRC, this years F1, own Nissan (and green lighted the upcoming GTR)and have been responsible for some of the most innovative advancements in motoring. I've owned a french car, the Peugeot 205 GTI for 10 years and love it. I have 2 GTRs. I'd say there are more wanker Skyline drivers than Citroen and Peugeot drivers.

My Uncle owns a Citroen Xsara, bought new. Its a very luxurious car and mechanically its great but its been back for warranty service four times for electrical issues. During that time they gave him a new Alfa Romeo 156 as a courtesy car lol damn that was a sweet car.

And yeah on both cars the indicator stalks were on the left which is weird but it only took a few hours to get used to, but I bet I looked like an L plater at the start when I kept activating the windscreen wipers

WOW 2 pages and nobody has mentioned Volvo drivers, I used to have a sticker on my helmet saying " Volvo aware rider" they wre a bread of their own back in the 80's but they seem to have realised their mistakes and now are seen to be a class car, I'm still wary of them, never had a problem with the frogs though I'm sure they have their percentage of unaware drivers as well.

I know its not what this thread is about but...

I have more trouble with Holden SS Ute drivers. Everytime someone wants to drag me at lights or pulls up next to me (whilst moving) and revs their engine it's a bloody SS Ute! What makes them think they could beat a GTR anyway? Mostly I ignore them and let them be... mostly.

Lol the thread title made me giggle like a girl :)

HOLY SHIT indicator stalk on the wrong side, must be a pretty unsafe car with shit build quality.

I wish people would have a more broad mind and get over a badge/brand/model.

werd. get over the holden hate people.

Although old people are a reasonable scapegoat. Once I saw this old couple merging onto a country freeway. exept they didnt merge, they drove along the shoulder for quite awile. f**k it was funny.

I would say what thype of car they were driving, but It doesnt matter. I see heaps of suburban drifters in beaten up silvias then anything else, although there is still plenty of guys in old commys.

You would burn all these insanely brilliant cars?

EVEN CITROEN have had some important cars in their history. Citroen DS anyone? When it came out way back in 1955, it was a symbol of French technology. It had power steering, four wheel disk brakes (inboard at the front), headlamps that turn with the car (like Mercedes have JUST brought in), fully independent hydro-pneumatic self levelling suspension with adjustable ride height, sleek aerodynamic body (for the time), front wheel drive (once upon a time thought to be a good thing), hydraullic semi-automatic clutchless gearbox, and in the big engined models it could hit 120mph.

So not all French cars should be burnt. Just the senior citizens that drive them.

Fin.

I went through a round about yesterday, and a senior citizen in a hyundai literally did not look to his right (Where i was coming from) when he pulled on to the round about, Strong application of brakes and middle finger and i was again on my way. It just shits me when people don't even pay attention to the traffic arounf them

    • Good luck on the weekend mate
    • Must have been an absolute nightmare to drive when the power steer was out, the rack ratio/wheel size/caster is all set up for power assistance
    • Welcome to SAU, what are you looking at buying?
    • 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
