ESG-642 is the engine code for the ford 4.2L

Like the rb26dett is the engien code for the TT skyline motor.

Rich J · January 29th, 2011, 04:20 AM

AHHHHHH! It all makes sense now lol. Thanks for finally telling me.

oh and demon is the engine code for the 3.8.... and the 54 is my top speed.

Definitely do the tlok, and do it at the same time as the gears (unless you don't mind paying twice for the same install). The tlok will improve your traction, and if you want to make more power then you need more traction. Power is useless if you're not doing anything with it. Also, you won't have to do any more embarrassing 1 wheel burnouts

^^^^ What he said.

Hahah Mcqueen, I found a solution for hiding my 1 wheel peels at the track. I always go in the left lane.

No one ever sits over there on street nights.

Set something up in the Regional section then. It usually dies down during the winter. But once Spring comes it livens up.
