White 4 door R34 on Weidlich Rd just off St Helena Rd

Thanks Graeme I'll keep that in mind for next time. It was on the same section of Springvale Road and at a similar time frame to when I bumped in to you one night along there.. I was hoping to myself that you'd be driving along there again to witness it and save me hehe. I can see where a lot of road rage comes from. People like the ones I encountered are just asking for someone to ram them or hop out and give them a whack.

I saw a 180sx with Ferrari tail lights, it's not the same one is it? lol

Taz, I didn't get their plates in the heat of it all I remember was the Commodore's plates began with 'WAY'. I was thinking even if I reported it, what cop would believe that two cars were menacing a Skyline and the Skyline driver was just trying to do the speed limit? maddowse, I'm not sure the motives.. if any at all. Maybe they just decided to pick a random car to p*ss off for fun. I'm the same as you, I don't care race, gender or whatever. Be nice to me and I'm 100% happy and nice in return. I have many friends of all different ethnicities. But last night, what I experienced made me think "and you think everyone is racist against your kind.. look what you're doing to bring it on!" Anyway just for the record, I'm of Asian background but born here maybe they were being racist to me! Haha. I see what you were trying to point out though

Didn't want to start a new thread so figured this one was relevant enough for me to post my experience tonight I was driving home just now heading north along Springvale Road and got fking menaced by two cars who obviously knew each other. I was cruising along at 80km/h coming up to Wellington Rd intersection where the lights were red and there were a few cars stopped. As I approached, the light went green and I cruised through the empty lane without having to slow down too much and passed the cars there that had to accelerate. Then before I know it, this VT commodore flew up at huge speeds beside me and then hit the brakes so he was side by side with me. Not caring much, I kept going at 80km/h and noticed this sh*tbox other car that was following the Commodore was right behind him too. At this point, I was in the far left lane, the Commodore in the middle lane and the sh*tbox behind the Commodore. We stopped at the Ferntree Gully Rd intersection in that formation. I saw the guy in the Commodore was some Indian guy. The light went green and I drove off casually and the two other cars accelerated pretty fast off in front of me. Then I was doing 80 again and they seemed to slow down waiting for me. I drove at 80 not changing my speed and eventually came up beside them again. Then the guy in the sh*tbox changed lanes to the far right lane, speeds past the Commodore and myself at over 100 and then cuts across the lanes to the far left, my lane, and hits the brakes and uses the Commodore to box me in. They were both braking side by side in front of me even though there were no cars around at all (it was 12:20am so roads were pretty empty). Eventually we were doing 50 and I started getting frustrated. Changed to the middle lane and then to the right lane, to which the Commodore moved to the right lane to block me and the other car moved to occupy the middle lane. Going about 45km/h past Glenny, I put it in 2nd and faked indicating and moving to the left lane. Surprise surprise, the sh*tbox moved left and the Commodore moved to the middle, to which I switched back to the right lane and punched it past them and back up to the 80 speed limit. That wasn't the end, they both sped up and passed me at well over 100 again and proceeded to block me and box me until we were going 50 again. I went to change lanes and pass again but the sh*tbox guy obviously had no care for his sh*tbox and cut in to my lane as I was in the process of passing him, causing me to have to brake and hit the horn (to no effect obviously). Extremely frustrated, I decided to turn on to Burwood Hwy and take a different route home. Need to put a breaker bar in my car I'm just glad my car is safe. I don't know what they were trying to do... maybe they were bored and just looking for anyone to menace on the roads tonight but their driving was extremely dangerous. I do that 45 min drive from Springvale to home most nights after midnight and have experienced a lot of incidents of people trying to race me, I just want to drive home in peace and never engage. Tonight was a whole different experience though!

Sorry, mentioned Geoff because he was my importer, and a very honest friendly one at that

What's the rebuild got to do with SSV doing my compliance? I didn't even import through SSV and I have no issues with Prestige Motorsport either, I had a wonderful experience with both importer and compliance workshops. The engine went on me while I was on track, nothing to do with them at all imo.

Maybe! While I was parked there waiting to pick up my girlfriend, he drove past twice in 10 minutes haha.

I spotted this same one on Thursday night going down Toorak Rd towards the city. He turned on to citylink and I went straight and through the city. Then I got to Docklands and parked and he drove past me again. Maybe my way was faster?

Did you go to them to attempt a trade in with your old car? I never thought of this option! haha

Love having these meets so close to home, I'll be there as long as I'm not held up at work again!

Duckyys, AFAIK the G-Meter is on the Nismo MFD? I actually only found that out when I hopped in another GT-R and realised it didn't have it whereas mine did. To get in to diagnostic mode with the engine on, this is what I did. - Key in the ON position but engine off still. - Turn the key to START the car. In the split second the power to the screen turns off, press and hold the joystick in. - When the GT-R logo sppears, click the joystick 5 times within 3 seconds. It might take a few tries at this to work because the timing of pushing the joystick when the screen is off has to be right. Once you are in diagnostic mode with the engine turned on, drive up and down the street until all the sensors have turned green. To recalibrate the TPS follow these instructions. 1. Turn the key to the OFF position. 2. Press and hold "RETURN" and "MODE" buttons at the same time. 3. Turn the key to the ON position while still holding down RETURN and MODE buttons. 4. When the GT-R logo appears, release the RETURN and MODE buttons and click the joystick 5 times within 3 seconds. You will then enter the calibration for TPS. It will be in Japanese, but the first screen asks you to have 0% throttle and press the joystick. Then it will ask you to hold 100% throttle and press the joystick. Then it will show you a guage to confirm. Turn off the car to exit.

I got my car complianced there. Can vouch for their friendliness and workmanship. Seem like a great bunch there.

Pics of bonnet? Location?

Sorry I couldn't make it, stuck at work until late again Sounds like you all had a good time, how was the cafe place?? I'd really like to check it out.. where is it? Charli you went through twisties in Eltham afterwards? I could've come out to join that, it's my area

Spotted a grey R35 on Greensborough Hwy this morning

Not sure if this has been posted already.. http://www.themotorreport.com.au/50241/vic...-more-than-1000 A JOINT operation between Victoria Police and the Environment Protection Agency has seen 1369 EPA notices issued to drivers and riders of excessively loud cars and motorcycles... ...While it did not offer specific breakdowns on numbers, Victoria Police noted the Nissan Skyline range as being the main vehicle of choice for the majority of offenders caught so far. Other listed include the Holden Commodore (Ute models in particular), Subaru Impreza, and the Honda Integra and Civic."

Haha agreed, the staff there are horrible! The dumplings are actually good though.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jzOkNtZJ7Uw See you guys tomorrow!

Spotted a bunch of Skylines parked near the Kebab joint on Princess Hwy tonight around 7:15pm. I was grabbing some yummy kebabs

Spotted a white R34 GTR with RE Customs sticker on the side rear windows just near Springvale station this afternoon.

Haha even better

Yeah, I bought a twin pack of uniden CB radios for cruises a few years back. Try to go for the ones that are more powerful because as soon as you use them on the open roads with a few trees around, their working distance is pretty poor. I got 1 Watt ones

Ah nice haha I'll bring mine to the next cruise I come on with you guys and join in the convo haha

I'll make it for the carwash meet but won't be able to join for dinner again sorry! Every second Thursday I meet with my other car crew for a carwash at 9pm and this is the same day again haha I'll still swing in before I head to the other carwash though. These meets are great other than the clash
