the RB's are deffinitely better than the SR's... consider the RB26DETT engine found in the Skyline R33 GTR... that is one mad engine with the ability to reach around 1000+ bhp.

proudy, u got a good point there of just evrytime moving the rear less worn tyres ot the front and replacing the rear tyres instead. Other than that, just switching them over evry now and then (either 6 months or 12 mnths, depending on my driving) would also work. And I hate 'Freaky Friday' too... i...

Ripspeed's Nissan S13 Drift Racer

Late Friday morning I went for a little drive down to my local Ripspeed branch with a few friends to see what they are getting up to these days. Here's what we saw: http://upload3.postimage.org/114618/0414_141637.jpg The picture doesn't really so much, but that engine was completely taken apart, res...

I think it looks very good. however I do also think that maybe spray painting it black or something similar would make it look a lot better.

ok, no need to worry about removing the intake resonator and y-tube anymore... i got bored about an hour ago and decided to just go ahead and do it. it still sounds great, but i think its louder now, as i noticed peoples heads turning from about 300 meters before i even got past them. and I noticed ...

I know, it's the same deodorant but different names in every country. in South Africa (where I'm originally from) it's called "Ego". so there is: -Lynx -Axe -Ego ... but it's all EXACTLY the same company... so why change the name? some people are idiots. full stop. and back to the air intake busines...

I have looked at my tyres and... well, the name on them does not at al lring a bell. The tyres on the car have never been changed and are still the ones that came out of the factory. I have noticed a lot of traction loss in them even in dry when me and a frend of mine had a mini drag race, all mine ...

I was looking at strut braces yesterday and earlier today and I really want to get some. the strut braces are not too expensive either. The Lanos even has a little panel in the boot on either side that can be removed to add the strut bars. and the front ones... well their self explanatory... danglin...

well Lynx is a brand of deodorant for men in the UK. and here's the Lynx Click advert in short: Ben Affleck walks through the streets of Hollywood with a "clicker" in his hand. (a clicker is a small instrument used to keep count of certain things, one click adds one unit to the total) As Ben walks t...

I was thinking of lowering my 1.4 Lanos aswell... but don't have the money to buy performance shocks and coilovers at this time. (damn, i really need to get a job as soon as possible :? ) But, isn't there a possibility of lowering a car's stock suspension? I'm kinda hopeless when it comes to suspens...

Yeah I will eventually take out the y-tube etc. probably during the next week. The only reason I couldn't do all of it today was because I didn't have the appropriate tools. I only had enough to swap over the air filters. has anyone seen the new Lynx Click advert? well i've got one of those clickers...
