hehe, yep Necris, Scotty's right. The catalytic converter is used to control emissions in unleaded cars. Normally it's a big freaking restriction in the exhaust pipe. Think, water pipe with a potato with holes through it stuck in the middle.

In turbo cars back pressure is bad. It impedes the flow of air which means the amount of air spinning the turbine is less, which means less boost, which ultimately means less power and torque.

In non-turbo cars back pressure is a necessity, but you need to make sure there is just the right amount.

lol Hiss!


Scotty, that's my next car!@$!!!!! Copy cat.

You know I haven't looked back at all those photos in a long time. A mid 20's mid-life crisis. Funny thing is, if I hadn't spent all that money through my mid 20's I most probably would be driving an rs4 of some description right now. LOL.

But I wouldn't have had the track or workshop experience.

non-turbo's need back pressure ...... like having a 3 inch exhaust on your otherwise stock 4 cylinder, like most morons out there?

Yeah, those cars with stupid canon's are ridiculous. Large fart cans that do nothing but reduce torque and top end....

nice Wil...

i'd post a similar thing for mine (S14), but it'd talk me out of trying to sell it. i'm showering it with neglect currently flat battery in the garage) trying to forget how good it is to drive, so i can sell it without emotions. still having cravings (whats that, little voice? you want to go buy a coke at a servo... in gosford or the 'gong? OK, we'll go do that for a few hours)

You know, I nearly bought an s14a instead of my car. But the only good one I found sold before I got to have a look at it.

Every other one that was for sale at the time, that I could look at, had been thrashed.

I'm glad I got a straight 6 though. I much prefer the sound of the RB engines.

I thought you were getting a S15 when you were talking about getting a Silvia. I'm glad you got the Skyline instead. I am going to drive it this weekend :)

Told you Autosalon was going to be shit. You'd have more fun going to a track day with your camera.

yeah - i was hoping that people would have a bit of class & do up a European car.

all of the cars of the same model were EXACTLY the same - nobody showed ANY creativity: lower car, add body kit, add novelty oversized exhaust*

no matter how big the exhaust, it STILL sounds like a 4 cylinder. simply cannot compare to a v8 (or more cylinders :D )


SIDE NOTE: not many Skylines there.... Evo's were the most common

you have done a fantastic job on that. its got that magic word that soo many people strive for, "clean". Much respect for not overkilling. how big is the dish on that btw ??. and do you still have the car :p? Only critism i can find it maybe lower the rear a touch for aesthetics. but with that said may not handle as well etc etc love the regular style muffluer too over the cannon...

Yeh thats my car :). series 2's look soooooo much better than the series 1. still rather a 34 though. ahh thanks for the offer too. id probably go with a shaved lid before replacing a broken spoiler tho

Very jelous of yourself and poison gettin on track :(. we dont really have as much opportunity up here so i only ever really get to the drags. Where are you located ?

Thanks dude :).

Dish on the rear is about 10cm's (a little less than). Wheel width is 9.5" with 265 rear tyres. The rear inner guards were "cut" (feels like they used an angle grinder) in Japan by the original owner I'm assuming. The tyres would be rubbing otherwise.

I think I'd rather an Audi... lol. Never, ever thought I'd want an Audi before. RS4, or S5 is what I'd choose nowadays.

I still love my car though. Don't think I'd ever want to part with it.

We're in the Hills District in Sydney. So it's a fair hike to any of the tracks (except Eastern Creek).

nice wish i had wider wheels. mine are like cheese cutters so break loose quite abit :(. did you have to rebuild the engine for that final figure they they sounds like melting numbers to me lol. and one thing you didnt note in the progressions was how much smooth the power curve was getting.

Audi R8 for me or aston martin db9. now those are 2 sexy cars, stil lurve my skylines tho. oh so nice to drive. and the new gtr seems to be haulin some major ass too :)
