hi ecl.

definitely a totally different kettle of fish! The teg had spoon springs, injen CAI and Trust PE2 exhaust. Not very modded - saying that though the little pocket rocket managed a 121.9kw atw which was quiet impressive compared to stock (roughly 105kw atw). it handled like a dream and the K20A2 in my opinion sounded the goods (most prefer the B18C). i felt i knew the car and what it could do (had an EM1 civic coupe before it).

Jumping into this GTT is hugely different - im still figuring out when the car starts and finishes - its sooo long! can definitely feel the power increase - turbo spools nicely! such a change coming from one of the best handling FWD produced to a rear wheeler with so much power - i think i may need to take a driving course to understand the car better. As soon as my exams are finished i'll be able to spend more time with her and give a better analysis.

Both great cars though - i didnt sell the R to upgrade/downgrade to a skyline - i just dont like owning cars over 75000kms and managed to get a decent price still.

BTW - thanks all for your help re the park lights - sorry for the n00b questions - got the parkers from autobarn today.

Justin

    • Alrighty, I'll have to grab a couple pics and type out something soon in another post. I haven't driven a modern X no, this would be the first one really. Yeah the rental boxes are always cheap as chips right? So I'd doubt that anyone was handing out GTs to go and abuse. But I s'pose I could be wrong for sure. New cars these days though? Pretty unimpressed with what I see now; 20 years and all that, like you said. It just kind of worked out to have these two cars now. I'm pretty pleased with that, don't need much else. I'm sure you lads are right about the temps and for sure, you wouldn't have much time to drive 'em down there if you all were like me. I do hate sweating all over the seats though😆
    • Let large companies that are making money off selling kits do the preliminary engineering for you. If they all do -10, then that is all you'll ever need. 
    • Hopefully it ends up being something manageable, like a hone, rather than a full bore—it would be a huge relief if it’s not as bad as it looks. Hang in there; these setbacks are annoying, but it sounds like you’re handling it as smartly as possible.
    • At the end of the day, it’s all about understanding the odds and being comfortable with the potential cost, whether it’s horsepower on a build or chips on a roulette table. And I have to say, the Laine example made me laugh—some people really do embrace that carefree, “roll and see” attitude!
    • Thanks MBS206, i got that PDF but got abit overhelm with all the connections and tracing of wires. I wasn't expecting to plug the dash harness anywhere. i was just going to use my electronics jumper wires to plug into the right pins like ECU power, ecu ground, ignition trigger etc... I do have a few ratchet straps locking it down tight. Fire extinguisher ready and only a small amount of fuel at a time, enough to submerge the pump.
