You could go on the defence. I saw a numberplate surround here on a chicks car and it read: If you're going to sit up my arse... ...at least pull my hair.

Agreed, i love to drive fast heck i'm still a speed freak, but on the streets nope, i simply could not live with myself if i killed somebody innocent just trying to get home because i wanted to have some fun.

I get that it's up to him how he drives, but do we really want people with this kind of attitude in the club? Your call, just throwing my input.

Have you actually read earlier in the thread, where people replied to you regarding the firmer suspension on the roads you are using it on and the explination on why your problem has been caused? the question who asked has been answered long ago. The day that it stops is going to be the day you total it, and i really do hope you arn't too badly hurt, i'm sure you're a decent lad. Once you have a frontal lobe you will start to understand what we are getting at.

It's really hard i think for somebody who hasn't lost somebody to really sink it into them, both of us could go without saying these things because he probably thinks we are tugging it. but the fact is if something did happen, we are going to sit here going, should we have said something? I know we seem like captain sensibles to these young guys. I'm only 24 i'm not exactly old, and i myself used to be incredibly wreckless. Speeding everywhere, pulling wheelies between cars down the motorway all sorts. Then i had to go comfort the mothers, fathers, brothers, sisters. while thier boy is laying there in a pine box. I still to this day cannot really figure out a way to get through to them, as i was told this stuff myself back then and i just fobbed it off. Oh they're just boring, oh they're just wimps etc etc i spent this money to go fast!... Sadly i don't know what to say to get through... i really don't pretty much nothing then was going to change, but i guess when they lose somebody close, somebody they really care about, that it will sink in as it did with me. Either that or they will get killed themselves and then maybe thier mates will slow down. The reality of that situation is that the only person that scenario doesn't benefit is them. Remember, short time thrill, long time dead.

I've always wanted a good enough reason to use this smiley... Seriously... :ban:

I'll gladly call any woman who drives a z between the ages of 23-28 :whistling: On a more serious note, some people are just bullies and ba***rds

I'll call them, numbers? :drool:

Yet another thing i havn't gotton onto yet. Geez at this rate you'll be done before me! Keep up the good work

LOL! , sweet comeback. :death:

Shouldn't be a problem, you shouldn't do that speed on the road. By law and the fact they are not designed for it. On a race track surface you won't have the problem. simple.

First paragraph has some screwy sentances there but it's 6am and i'm not firing on enough cylinders to care.

So because we have fast cars we must speed on the road? no it's called a race track. Why is okay to imply is, the way is seems you think it should be implied is so you can't get nicked for it by the boys in blue, rather than recognising it is behaviour we do not partake in. It's the guys like you that think it is okay to do this kind of stuff so we dont get caught, that makes it so i can't be driving along enjoying my weekend without being pulled over and accused of being a street racer for having some nice modifications to my car. The autobahn is unrestricted and everybody who drives on it knows that, and those who do not drive at the high speeds do not enter the fast lanes. they also go through stringent driver and license testing to get a license that will allow them to do that. the autobahns are also VERY well maintained. Funnily enough, you arn't on the autobahn. you arn't even in that country. so it is not the same whatsoever, for the reasons stated above. I was passenger in a car once... my mate decided to race somebody the guy racing us lost it, spun us both out and we spun and rolledand he went cartwheeling down the road. flew out of the car and smeared himself down the road. that was his lot. I've also seen my best mate take off down a straight on a motorcycle and lose control and get chopped in half through the waist by a wire rope barrier. You can have all the time and place in the world. when it goes wrong, you arn't in control anymore at high speed. Driving a 20 year old car on public roads at 160mph, yeah sounds really smart.

Very well said, nothing i can really add to that.

Now you're just plucking at straws. Completely different scenario. 160mph on a public road is just nothing short of idiocy. I'm not continuing this own with you as i prefer discussion with people who have some intellect. and a frontal lobe.

Not really... 60mph you got a chance of survival in something as solid as a Z, even in a head on... When you are doing almost 3x that speed you're guaranteed dead, and what about the poor ba**ard you hit?

I'm going to have to add here, do not use a manual boost controller, they are absolute crap and you get boost spikes, electronic boost controller is always stable and in cabin adjustable. Cost you more, but not as much as a screwed engine or turbos.

It's generally not the speed that kills you, it's the sudden stop as your organs mince through your rib cage and you start gasping for air and spitting blood.... then choke on your own blood. Then die. Sounds like a nice way to go.

One more...

My last Z with the wheels the old owner put on it, didn't like them myself, but they are black with polished lip...

I live on a gravel road, i'm dreading the day its finished and i have to go down it with coilovers in, they hardly ever grade the damn thing, has all these ripples in the corners from all the 4x4's. Stock z shocks are too soft though.

Yeap coilovers on a shoddy roads are awful, you'd need to run around a 4kg spring at the most, stock are 2.8 and 3.0 roughly from memory.

Fronts for a lower spec r32 will fit, but the rears wont as they are a round lower mount not fork like the gtr and gts-4 Actually in my last post i meant to say gtr and gts-4 not gts-t... gts-t rears will not fit, they have to be for a 4wd r32 skyline.

The only non z32 coilovers that will fit are r32 gtr and r32 gtst, but generally you have to make the top hats a bit smaller. Fitting coilovers alone is never going to be right, you really have to have the proper arms and the right spring rates for your usage. Personally if buying coilovers i go for body adjustables, then you are changing the length of the overall shock which gives you seperate spring preload adjustment.

Well said, road is not place for it, something goes wrong it's game over.
