Haha! Mmmmmmm Bee!

 

[Maxdicapua]

That paint match is terrible!

 

[Jason_E]

The legacy makes it cool, but still my least favourite skyline I just dont like how it looks. Unless its the Top Secret one orrr the HKS Drag R33:

Prize on Gran Turismo 2 when you did one of the Turbo Challenges

Oh and the R33 is, and always will be my fav Skyline. Best looking anyway

 

[Englebert]

Nah, the R33 is easily the worst looking. UK is full of cheap, rough R33 GTSs which doesn't help the image either.

seriously, do you have a f**king clue in life at all?? go give your mums car a wash, the 33 is by far the ugliest and shittest drive out of all the skyline models, let alone the gtr models!

 

[Kneel]

^lol!

 

[Christopher]

Yeah, the 33's not a looker. But that's kind of it's appeal for me.

It's way down the list, but I'd rather have a fettled 33 than a 34. No idea why, just personal preference.

That said, I'd love a standard R32 V-Spec in Gunmetal.

 

[ForceIndia]

I've always liked the utalitarian (sp) vibe with the 33. But you can't buy a 32, same problem I have with big cars. I look like a primordial dwarf when I drive them.

 

[Christopher]

LOL yeah. You'd piss yourself if you saw me driving to Manchester a few days ago...

I look about as wrong as possible driving the XKR.

 

[Tobs]

id love to have grown up and lived in japan life of cars if such a rush out there, u get old gits the age of 50 tunning there supra, skylines are stuff, yet no other old git will bat an eye lid. Its cool and ok to get your bad ass car pimped out even if ur retired haha nutters

 

[bomber]

R32 is where its at tbh. i love the fact that all the jap insane cars now live on our shores in some small back street garages.

garage saurus R32, built for drag, drift and time attack i believe....

(sorry if a repost, im not reading through 293 pages to check )

its been confirmed, rita the rx7's heart is damaged, she has had a little heart attack and needs some loving...

so the heart is being removed, she will go through a full strip down, have a good clean, and paint, then her internals are going to be ported to allow better flow, she will then be rebuilt and a bigger single turbo is going to go on, bigger injectors, new fuel rails, loom tidied and stripped of useless parts, then it will all be plonked back in and she will be run in then mapped... hopefully should have 400-500 horses at the wheels!

hopefully 3-4 weeks she will be back! oh and in the same time she gonna have her shoes taken off for a clean up and some spacers so she is tucked and flush, and a v mount intercooler... goodbye lots of money... hello stupid car

Really reliable these rx7's aint they

[Kneel]

Poor Strawberry

Instant power, no lag, 400/400, no turbo's to pop. All aluminium engine with a good weight balance still. LS2 ftw!

 

[Christopher]

Pushrods.

if you had read my post instead of being a troll which im pretty sure is a no no on here... you would of seen the reason it went was the rear fuel injector harnes (plug that controls it) had broken off some how... this was on the secondary injectors, which come on when you come on boost...

so the rear rotor had just the primary injector fireing when on boost, there for it ran lean, and detonated... causing the tip to chip...

just like if i disconnected the fuel injector on a 172 and you went and gave it beans, 1 cylinder would run lean, detonate and either put a hole in the piston or f**k the valves... hardly a sign of a rotary being unreliable!

infact my engine was nearly on 50k after looking through receipts and the front rotor was on high 7's on the leading and trailing when compression tested... a fresh built engine is just over 8bar compression, so infact for a 50k engine it had lost very little compression leading to me being right when i said if a rotary is looked after with fresh oil etc... there is f**k all wrong with them!

 

[Christopher]

Well, there's a lot wrong with yours now. <3

I have your logo ideas. I'll email you in the week.

[MaLicE]

there is a reason there are so few lol, its a vile colour!

bayside blue, midnight purple or ztune grey are the best colours... unless its the mines car then white wins.

and rb motorsport being the leading skyline specialist... hnmmm not sure many would agree with that.

Off another forum I use, and seeing as we're all car nuts I thought it best to get as much exposure as possible.

Stolen from Chipping Sodbury.

Posting on Behalf of a friend..

Hello,

Between wednesday 22:00 and 06:00 today (saturday) My wheels were stolen off my car at my workshop in Chipping sodbury (Bristol)

They are

Rota Grid 18x10 ET15 wheels brand new Never evening fu*king driven on! with 225/40 18 "infiaty" tyre brand new (still with sticker)

They had 4x spine wheel nuts and 1 locker on each wheel

Each of the spine nuts were left by the car but 3 out of the lockers were gone.

The Car was jacked on 3 s**tty sill jack (1x nissan with japanese wrting on it, 1x toyota jack and 1x maybe vauxhall) and a spare wheel

Ive been to the police station and taken the evidence down there and everything but i have low hopes...

There are gauges on the dash but no evidence of attemping to get inside. The have come defiantly for the wheels

If people can post up everywhere they can think of to hunt down these wheels please do!!!

 

[BIFCAIDS]

[Firas]
