Also, nice car, shame about the colour. Lose the wing, get some TE-37s or Buddy Clubs or youll face the terrible prospect of me not going all googly eyed about your car. |

Just got back from a drive up to Caboolture and back. :)
Interior is great. :D Sunroof ROCKS, especially when you look up and either watch the stars, or admire the buildings above you. :) 6-CD in-dash stacker is the bomb. :) (though it needs a sub. :/ ) Mods planned so far are: - turbo timer. I'm going to confirm with DoT if these are legal or not (I've heard people say they are, and others say they aren't. Got a Modifications "hotline" number that I'll ring next week, cos it's s***ting me off already having to give it some time after pulling up before shutting it down) - exhaust, not too big (the chick at RACQ thought that 2.5" was the biggest they would allow - bigger than that = no policy) - upgrade the intake, maybe just a better panel filter. Unless I feel like splashing out and getting a pod with full shielding.. - front-mount (maybe... depends on how insurance would be affected). I'm not planning on doing too much to it - you can probably tell that I'm more concerned about insurance than performance (the finance requires full comprehensive insurance - thank God for my Rating 1. ;) ) Wouldn't mind doing some visual mods to it... even if it's a sticker or two on the windows - along the lines of the "Drive it like you stole it" and "If it's too loud you're too old" stickers I had on my Pulsar. :P But I don't want it to be too "ricey". btw, for those curious - from a 2nd-gear rolling start at about 30-40km/h my friend's TT soarer couldn't keep up. :) (granted being manual I could ensure the turbos were on boost, whereas he had to wait for his auto to get the turbos up to speed, but even then he said I was pulling away) Oh, and... some kind of cool car instead of another ricer import ...S15 200sx is not an import. (I know it was built in Japan and had to have been imported for it to be here, but being sold here by the manufacturer makes it not an import for finance/insurance) btw, 108.4c/litre for BP Ultimate sucks. :( |

Other than that keep the way its at and enjoy !! Yeah, the more I drive it the more I think I'll keep it fairly stock. I like the look of the twin exhaust tips (not a fan of big 4" tips etc) and it's nice to have a reasonably quiet car for a change... (gets a nice harsh note when it gets higher in the rev range though ;) ) btw, saw a REAL fast car today - my brother-in-law's best mate has an XR8 ute that he's supercharged. =) Been told it's got enough rwkw to light up the rears anytime, and would probably flog most anything on the road. Sounded nuts when he backed out of the driveway and cruised off down the road - deep throaty V8 rumble that turned into the typical supercharger whine as the revs built, and that was just driving off casually! =O |

turbo timer. I'm going to confirm with DoT if these are legal or notAFAIK I thought it was illegal to leave your car unattended whilst its on. Soooo, that would make it illegal I assume? But ask yourself, what's the chances a cop is gonna ticket the car for it. btw, for those curious - from a 2nd-gear rolling start at about 30-40km/h my friend's TT soarer couldn't keep up. :) (granted being manual I could ensure the turbos were on boost, whereas he had to wait for his auto to get the turbos up to speed, but even then he said I was pulling away)No time slip, no care. |

It means take it down the quarter and get a time slip@!?#!@# I'd actually like to see what it does down the quarter, but as it is, just saying it was pulling away from a Twin Turbo soarer means s*** as the TT soarer might not be running 100% or have a tard driver. 1/4 mile time has more meaning for the individual car itself. Put it this way, you know how you guys have Penismarks 2003 for your 3dcards? Well the 1/4 mile is like that for cars. last edited by Loki at 15:22:23 01/Jun/04 |

I'd actually like to see what it does down the quarter Given that it's completely stock, and stock S15's from memory do a high-14 sec quarter, then I'd say my car does about a high-14sec quarter. :P I could probably get that down into the 12's fairly easily, but I'm not worried about quarter mile times. If I was I wouldn't have spent so much for this thing - I would have just got some dodgy-ass old car for a couple of hundred bucks and then dropped the remaining $30k under the bonnet. ;) I'm just comfortable in the knowledge that when I want to I can beat most cars on the road (most meaning anything naturally aspirated and under 8-cyl) for when my lane ends, or if I need to overtake something, or if I just want to get ahead of someone who looks like they're going to cause an accident and I don't want to be behind them when they do. ;) |

With a good launch and gear-shift technique you'll be giving alot of 8-cyls a run for their money, dont worry about that :) |

With a good launch and gear-shift technique you'll be giving alot of 8-cyls a run for their money, dont worry about that :) Well, it gives my mate's TT Soarer (automatic with I believe it's the 1JZ engine - the 2.5l straight-six) a real run for his money, and he's done work to it. He said he regularly beats V8's, and my dad reckons the 200 feels quicker than his VX SS Ute (manual). I'd need to practice my launches to get under 15-seconds on the quarter I reckon. I'm used to shifting in it now, but first is just a little tricky (I've almost stalled it a few times coming in and out of the driveway, and last night I accidentally lit up the rears in the driveway, which is just loose stones :| ). I haven't tried launching with a heap revs on board as yet - need to go somewhere where a few seconds of wheelspin won't attract too much attention. ;) |

btw, I rang the Vehicle Modifications line (3253 4851, if anyone has anything else they want to ask them) and asked about turbo timers - totally legal.
They fit under Section 213 of the Transport Operations Road Use Management - Road Rules Regulation 1999: 213 Making a motor vehicle secure I got told that "switch off the engine" means basically turning the ignition off. So if the turbo timer keeps the engine running then that's okay because you turned the ignition off and did everything else that's required when securing the vehicle. |

nice ride, im a big fan of any turbo nissan but the s15 is one of my favourites. Probably what i would have opted for if i had a bit more cash then what i spent on my r33.

Few seconds is a bit of a big burnout for a drag =) I didn't mean I'd be intentionally trying to get a few seconds of wheelspin - I meant if I tried launching from say 4000rpm (just shy of peak torque) then it might light them up a little more than I'd like. ;) Never driven a turbo car before, only supercharged with a brass button clutch and it loved to spin the wheels at a measly 2000rpm =| Yeah, this is what I want to practice to find out - is it better launching from 2000rpm or maybe even 2500rpm where the turbo is just starting to come on boost and risk bogging it down a little (and losing boost), or is it better to give it 3000rpm or more and risk losing traction... Though I think with the diff in the 200sx (same Helical Limited Slip jobbie as in the GT-R) I may not have to worry too much about heaps of wheelspin - even the most harsh changes to second can only seem to get a minor chirp from the wheels. last edited by cerb at 21:29:23 01/Jun/04 |

1/4 mile time has more meaning for the individual car itself whats your old bomb running these days loki? and I run quicker times with wheelspin then without. but 2500rpm launches? man I back down the driveway at 2500rpm ;) get some 8000rpm ones into ya http://members.optushome.com.au/bjrose/willow_03_11_017b.jpg also if you run out at willowbank the track is VERY gripy compared to the street (especially since the resurface) be more worried about axle tramp then wheelspin out there. you would prob notice if you tried "launching" at 3000rpm the car would probably take off normally |

Very grippy for 4wds no doubt. Only ever had one run out there and being very inexperienced (at racing/dragging etc.) managed to get huge amounts of wheelspin in my integra on the way to a blistering pass somewhere around 17 odd seconds :P

I jumped onto the burnout pad and thought I'd be a cool kid. Dropped the clutch at 5,500rpm and bounced off the limiter for a while. Then the car started going nuts.....I wandered onto the sticky track. Axel tramp is a bitch ain't it?

Very nice car. I would have liked an S15 but I couldn't justify getting finance on a car (personal choice).
cerb if you want to launch quick in the Silvia you need to dial up about 3500-4000rpm and then let the clutch out quickly and smoothly. Ideally you wheelspin for just a tiny bit of time then gain full traction. Launching at low rpm will result in bogging down, and too high will just leave you spinning and maybe going sideways :D Also, if the car's stock and you're a newbie RWD turbo driver, I'd expect more like a mid 15 pass or higher. Hell my very first run down the 1/4 I posted a 16.027 in the Silvia, though I did have a dying fuel pump at the time. |

oh it's better to let the wheels spin then they'll grab traction after a while. most if not all silvia's get sideways a bit.

for ne one whos interested, you can import early s15's.1999models. id expect it to be a bit cheaper, and the jap spec S and R's put out more power. not shure about compliancing yet, shouldnt be too far away if not already in.

An imported model might be cheaper to buy, but they'd cost more to insure. |

whats your old bomb running these days loki?What the f*** was the point in saying that in reply to me saying that 1/4 mile times mean more for the individual car... I was never saying my car was quick, I was interested in cerbs, not mine... Nice one mr. Negativity. I wouldnt have a clue of my 1/4 mile time, it'd be a spastic thing to bother with because its not a completed car, the engine that's going into it, isn't in there yet and I'm not wasting money on the internals of the original block because its exactly that, the original SL/R block [thus I want to keep it plastic wrapped and kept with the car] and a useless piece of s*** as far as power is concerned. So at the moment with modifying everything else outside of the internals on that block, I'd be guessing it's pushing 18's, and that's a guess at best. With the 308, and I'm pretty sure I can run VN/VP heads on top of the red/blue bottom end without too much hassle, something I've considered but need to look further into, then I'll be aiming to run at least high 13's naturally aspirated after that (with other mods, not just the heads). So what's you're point? I'm doing my project without forced induction, It's not a skyrice box like yours, and I know how to setup an engine to get decent power out of it without forced induction, unlike the typical young rice-fan you are burt. Secondly, I dont really give a s*** if your Skyline can outrun my Torana even after mine is completed, I'll have enough fun rumbling around the street listening to the musical melodies my 8 cylinders create. Heads won't be turning because of some f***** DOOF DOOF music blearing out my skyrice or a note from my blow off valve as I deliberately ensure I change gear near the crowd of people - just to proove to everybody its turbo, so it's gotta be cool... [not saying this is you - but there are posers that do this] But hey mate, it's all your perogative, I don't care if that's your way of doing things [forced induction/new cars], go ahead and do it, but grow the f*** up and be accepting that not everybody likes you, or your pathetic views that only turbo's and skylines are cars worth driving or getting attention, keep dreaming burt, you might pull your hand off your dick and your head out of your arse and wake up someday. In the meantime, goodluck and have fun with the skyline and don't break it. last edited by Loki at 17:49:41 02/Jun/04 |

haha, your a funny one I'll be aiming to run at least high 13's good luck. I'm doing my project without forced induction, It's not a skyrice box like yours, and I know how to setup an engine to get decent power out of it without forced induction oh boo hoo. if your building a car for fast times forced induction is a good start, you should try it sometime if you could afford it.
Point is you want to rant and rave about some car not having a timeslip, and you dont have one youself. do not judge, unless you are judge worthy. unlike the typical young rice-fan you are burt oh nos!@# another mature comment from the master |

Point is you want to rant and rave about some car not having a timeslip, and you dont have one youself.I was never stating my car was fast and saying it was outperforming a specific other car was I? High 13's from a naturally aspirated engine is not exactly that hard, you know the straight-six XU-1 Torana's of 30 years old, dead stock as factory run high 15's right? Now, I'm not saying that's fast, but for 31+ years old a car, stock, its pretty f***in quick for a naturally aspirated SIX cylinder. FYI, an XU-1 Is a bathurst spec LJ Torana, so a smaller body, they run a 202 with tripple stromburg carbies. Its not that hard to get Torana's doing fast 1/4's, they barely push the 1 tonne curb weight with driver in the bigger LH/LX frames. From what I recall, the 308's were running 16's down the quarter in the heavier LH/LX bodies. (But again they only weigh 1 tonne). I have a mate with a 253 V8 (4.2L) Valiant running high 13's down the quarter, naturally aspirated. The entire car is twice the size of, and a hell of alot heavier than the old Rana. Go pick up a magazine and you'll see there are naturally aspirated engines running sub 9 secs down the quarter. High 13's is the -final- goal for the car, I never claimed to have it completed in the near future. Because unlike yours, mine is worth keeping for the next 50-60 years. Once again, you're a d******* burt. Just admit the fact that no matter what car you throw money at, you can make it as quick as any other car. Lastly, realise I'm not arguing that moy Torana will ever be better than your skyline, I'm not arguing that older cars are better to work with than newer cars, because the fact is, they're not. They're just cheaper and easier to work on yourself, and look a damn-sight nicer, rarer, and get more attention. But that's opinion. Regardless, an old Chev/Caddy etc. will get more attention than your skyline (or my Torana)... my point? Older cars turn more heads... why? because they're old and rarer because they've been out of production much longer, and look 100x different to the new cars on the road these days. last edited by Loki at 18:13:39 02/Jun/04 |

oh boo hoo. if your building a car for fast times forced induction is a good start, you should try it sometime if you could afford it.I forgot, this one slipped by me.. Do you honestly know anything at all? Apparently your too cock-eyed to realise that it costs MORE to setup a naturally aspirated engine to run at the same level as a forced induction engine. Hence the popularity of Turbo 4's etc. amongst the younger people. Big Power:$Bling$ ratio gains. So cost is not an issue. I wouldnt be building a car if it was either. So realistically, its you who should trying getting the same power out of your engine naturally aspirated... if you could afford it that is. Also, HIGH 13's isn't exactly OMGWOW "fast times" last edited by Loki at 18:22:57 02/Jun/04 |

High 13's from a naturally aspirated engine is not exactly that hard, you know the straight-six XU-1 Torana's of 30 years old, dead stock as factory run high 15's right? I saw a production car race at Symmonds Plains a few years back where some of the Targa Tassie competitors entered... it was pissing down rain, and there was a Series 6 RX7 in third place, running a few car lengths behind an old Torana (SLR 5000 I think...) in second place. But if a brand new twin-turbo rotary not being able to catch a 20-year-old V8 Torana wasn't impressive enough, first place was a GTR XU1 and it was MILES out in front. It was completely annihilating the competition, many of which were Jap turbo's or Aussie V8's. And to do this in the wet was a very impressive thing to see. XU1 = hot. Pity the XU2 never made it to production. :( So N/A cars should never be underestimated, even if they were built in australia and anything up to 40 years old (Phase III GTHO's would be almost 40 now wouldn't they?). |

Loki, I wouldn't mind dragging your car (at a track of course) when I finally get this friggin 3.8 V6 plant into my Gemini. Total cost of the project will be around $6000 including engineering... the weight of the engine isn't too far off that of the original so the weight balance will still be the same meaning it will take corners about the same as it used to... whilst still wiping the floor with most things on the road. And that's a NA engine, so the insurance company red flags won't go up on that at least.

my car beats all of yours, it's a 5'er down the 1/4 mile. ful sik yo... err 5 hours that is, with a tailwind :p
lighten up fags it's just a car. It's not like anyone just called your mum a hoe or told you that your penis is smaller than a gnat. (if you don't know what a gnat is google it). So your car got insulted boo f***ing hoo, my gemini/commodore get insulted all the time, do I care? no! why? because I know they're not show cars or race bred vehicles but they get me from A to B and back again in comfort. That's all that counts to me anyway. last edited by WhoopAss at 00:12:28 04/Jun/04 |
