Just got a dragyWhat performance metrics should I record to prove to /o/tards that my car is better than theirs, and therefore I am a better person
>>29016804Elantra N
>>29016779also some old pulls from before dragy with the onboard data loggingnot sure the accuracy compared to dragy but numbers ranged from ~4.8 - 5.6 s 0-60 so there's definitely time to be gained from a good launch
>>29016857actually next time i'll just log with onboard and dragy and compare directly
>>29016779Very close to what i got.
>>29016972What car though?
Welcome to 4chan's Offroad General! On July 4th, 2026, we mark 250 years of American freedom. Conquering untamed trails in 4x4s is our manifest destiny. Just like Lewis and Clark, we conquer the unknown, tackling the most unforgiving terrain that our beautiful country has to offer. Other countries will never have the trails and trucks that Americans are blessed with. Give me liberty, or give me death. Previous thread: >>28936348
i was amused someone tried to paint over this greasy shit
I am about to inherit one of these off my dad bc he's getting a new car and I kind of need a 4x4 to tow a trailer and do tip runs and stuff. Nonetheless this is a big car for me. I was just gonna get a 2x4 hilux prior to this development. It's a Nissan Patrol GU Y61 with the 3.0 TD engine. He just spent like thousands on a new injector pump. I understand these engines like to go bang sometimes.Should I keep or sell. Do you reckon it's worth much? It's pretty good condition, it has a 3 inch lift and is otherwise stock. Also has 20 years of service history and about 250kms on it. He's taken it on the beach like twice. Suppose I could use it to go camping.
>>29016096Just filter them. Eventually they'll either get board or kill themselves, hopefully both. Agreed it's been shitting up every thread it's in.
>>29016586If the cargo area is flat with the seats down/taken out you can use it for a roo-proof tent. If it's 20 years old it's Past Time to start taking things off underneath to put in fresh bolts and/or anti-seize. The more you work on it though, the more you'll like it.
>>29016866>you can use it for a roo-proof tent.Took me a couple hours to decipher cunt to english.

Can you disable the "driver attention" camera in hands free driving cars but still make the auto-driving work without you having to look straight ahead 100% of the time? My car has hands free but just a torque sensor in the wheel and no camera, but I figure any future car will have a camera and a nanny system, can this be defeated?

bro gunna put a dry sump in his car before upgrading to rods that aren't chopsticks
>>29017089Gee and you wonder why people LS swap these things if they want to make power. You could easily make 512 all motor.
>>29016912>reflect a gold on hood>not on brake booster and brake fluid reservoir
>>29017267the dry sump will come at a full engine rebuild at 100K miles, Currently on 80K miles. I'm looking at other things to put in the engine and considering going from a supercharger to a twin turbo setup as well, but it's not very likely.>>29017285But i actually built my car and didn't choose "LS SWAP" in a menu in forza horizon. Do you understand how that's different?>>29017292On the Z33/Z34/RZ34 the brake booser, clutch booster are in their own compartment in the engine with a false firewall that absorbs mose of the heat. The shielding is to protect the carbon fiber hood. It may not be needed but i put it on there anyways because i like that hood.
I'm a classics and 4x4s guy but that's a nice looking car and I bet it's fun as fuck to drive.

>Bought a 2015 toyota corolla as first car ever>Already convinced of the idea that switching to anything else in the future would be a downgrade
I bought a '90 camry with 250k miles on it for $850 ten years ago. That was a good car, I miss it.
why wouldn't you just buy a 7-9 gen? they're the actually retardedly reliable ones. anything after that is less reliable
>>29016263>bought a BMW E39 as first car ever>Already convinced of the idea that switching to anything else in the future would be a downgradeThat was 15 years ago and I've owned plenty of interesting cars since, I'm glad I never fall for the goyota trap.I drove some of that gen Corolla as rentals a few times and they were abysmal and simply felt like cheap, disposable cars with anemic drivetrains.

>>29012292>That gunk/varnish is pretty common with those mystery mixes, similar shit happens when you let fuel sit for years in the tank of a oldtimer for exampleYeah, I'm aware of that as something that happens when you leave a car sitting for six months/a few years. >That shit in the video is another matter, it looks like "adulterated" petrol, it was quite common back in the day all over eastern Europe, to the point that it was advised to use petrol stations belonging to the big brands because they were less like to do it>"Adulterated" doesn't mean just water in most cases, it's adding all kinds of shit like kerosene or petrol that didn't pass any norms due to errors during distillation and mixing it with quality in hope no one noticesThanks anon.Officially it's just ethanol being added but in reality, who knows?I guess they're using the low quality stuff that would otherwise get thrown into mazut or something.

If this is a cataclysmic event I would take the most reliable and rugged vehicles I could find. So five 5th gen Toyota Hiluxes with as much fuel, oil, and other consumables as I can fit in the beds.
I accepted an entry-level tech I position with a county's fleet management yesterday. I've heard being municipal fleet is a cherry spot to be if you're going to be a mechanic so I'm pretty content. Today I got an interview offer from my county's school district for a bus mechanic position I applied to earlier this week, which their shop is only 10 minutes away from where I live compared to an hour for the city fleet job. I already have a start date for the city fleet job, but the school district interview lands before that so I'll be able to scope out their offer, if I even get one. I don't have any experience in diesel or heavy vehicles, all my experience is in regular automotive. No idea what to expect from a school bus shop. I assume pay and benefits are relatively the same. How shit is working on school buses compared to cars to have a 10 minute commute or is city fleet the clear winner?
>>29016426You can transfer later on anyways.
>>29016553True, if the position gets posted again
>>29016426You're more desirable with some city fleet XP
>>29016603It'd be a good resume material for sure. Right now I only have 1.5 years as a Audi dealer lube tech and 5 years as a freelance mobile mechanic and hobbyist. The city fleet hiring team thought that was impressive enough to hire me though, thankfully.
>>29016094Do the school busses. You want to fuck with school boards, not city council.
In 15 years every new utilitarian car will be a 20k usd chinese electric, and ice cars will be the equivalent of owning a show horse
>>29016748Then ask the Russians if they're satisfied with Chinese trucks.For three years, it's been impossible to buy new trucks from European manufacturers on the Russian market. They've been replaced by Chinese companies, but it turns out that Russian-Chinese cooperation isn't going well at all. Russians complain not only about the quality of Chinese vehicles but also about the Chinese treating Russia like a colonial country. A forum titled "Chinese Trucks in Russia: Initial Operational Experience and Prospects" was held in Novosibirsk. It brought together representatives of Russian carriers, Chinese companies, and economists. It quickly became clear that cooperation isn't working out as the Russians expected.There are trucks that do high mileage and don't need repairs, but about half of Chinese trucks require major repairs to key components, such as the engine or transmission, at mileage levels not exceeding 500,000 km, which in real-world truck terms means 3-4 years of operation.Many complaints also concerned the unreliability of the ELECTRICAL system (!) and the fact that even basic maintenance tasks, such as battery replacement, are extremely complex and require diagnostic equipment.Another problem is the lack of local warehouses and service centers. As a result, dealers take a long time to repair vehicles because the necessary components must be imported from China. And for transport companies, every truck that is out of service means real losses.Russians at the forum also emphasized that the Chinese do not treat Russia as a serious partner or a serious market in which they want to make long-term investments, for example by building production plants or opening official representative offices.On the contrary, they said, the behavior of Chinese companies is more akin to treating Russia as a colonial state whose market must be exploited as quickly and as effectively as possible.
>>29016755you may have noticed I said utilitarian cars, not work trucks
>>29016759Russians have also had unpleasant experiences with Chinese passenger cars.Studies conducted in 26 Russian regions, covering 17 Chinese brands, revealed their vehicles' susceptibility to corrosion in Russian climatic conditions. According to analysts, the bodies of Chinese cars begin to rust after just 2 to 5 years of use. In extreme cases, especially in Siberia, the first signs of corrosion appear as early as 6 months after purchasing a new car. The problems don't end with corrosion. Owners of Chinese cars report problems with heating systems that can't cope with Russian frosts, frozen door handles, and unreliable touchscreens.The experiences of Russian taxi companies, which have massively switched to Chinese vehicles, are particularly striking. According to industry data, these vehicles currently constitute 70-80% of taxi fleets in Russia. However, their operational lifespan is only about 150,000 km. km, while vehicles from Western brands, including Korean and Japanese, operate efficiently for 250,000 to 300,000 km. One of the most pressing issues facing the Russian automotive market is the availability of spare parts for Chinese vehicles. The Russian Association of Motor Insurers reports that delivery times for components from China have nearly doubled, now standing at around 45 days. For less popular models or more complex repairs, owners may have to wait up to six months (!)
