Ok Mr Mad et al, I shall endeavour not to 'contaminate' YOUR forum/soapbox any further. No offence intended to anyone. I value Road Safety just as much as ANYONE else and I'm critically aware of the enormous energy and potentially destructive forces wrapped in vehicles at speed. A solid core of driving skill, vigilant attention/anticipation, respect for others and an understanding of vehicle dynamics and what is/is not appropriate speed/driving behaviour in prevailing conditions, is what seperates a driver from a steering wheel attendant. I just thought this was Skylines Australia not 'Road Safety Sermon 101'?! I didn't catch your badge number but I 'd suggest that giving lectures and name calling is a not a particularly effective technique when it comes to spreading the Road Safety message!? Remember those basic human courtesies again? P S : I'm really 70 years old, wear a Cardigan and drive a Prius (slowly) to bowls once a week. You may feel better now?

Ahem; Dear Mr Mad082 et al, I have been driving high-powered vehicles and competing Club Motorsport for more than 20 years. In fact I was out gaining valuable driving experience and skills while you were still graduating from Kindergarten. Given I'm now in my 40's and have survived with all my faculties intact and not so much as a scatch to either myself or others, I ask that you grant me some courtesy and perhaps keep your opinions to yourself. As the saying goes, "Opinions are like arseholes; everyone's got one!" Just because you have an opinion, that doesn't automatically make it right! If one has nothing positive to say, perhaps say nothing at all!? I'm all for people expressing an opinion but slagging people off whom you really know very little about, is neither polite, nor mature. Obviously we don't all have to agree on here, but a little basic human courtsey never goes astray! Polite intelligent dialogue or, nothing at all. Please play nicely people!

Hey Skavenski. That's interesting. I definately didn't think there was any difference between Auto and Manual!? I love the purity of a manual but for a daily, I can't go past the luxury of an auto. I'm getting too old an lazy to push a clutch pedal! Lol! Cheers.

Hi all! I’m looking at buyingan R34 GT-t. I wanted to ask all youSkyline-o-philes, what is the easiest way to defeat the GT-t Traction controlsystem? I test drove a GT-t Auto in the wet recently and despite switching the TCSoff, it still kicked in when I tried to drift her! L I gather fromprevious posts that this is normal operation? I was of the belief that ‘off’was ‘totally off,’ (as in you are on your own!) I have to say one of the greatestpleasures of such a sweet Turbo RWD chassis as the R34, is being able to driftit when the mood (often) takes me! J Especially inthe wet! Woooowho! J So, can I simply pull the TCSfuse or disconnect the TCS module (which I believe resides in the boot) and/ordisconnect the secondary throttle body butterfly, as basic defeats? Or better still, I believethere is a good TCS interceptor device(s) available that allows the system tobe TOTALLY switched off and back on again when desired? This would be awesome! ‘Off’ when I want toplay and ‘on’ when I’m (rarely) behaving! Lol! J Also, has anyone bought aSkyline from or had any dealings with Global Vehicles in Fawkner Vic? Would anyone recommend any particularImporters/Dealers in Melbourne? I’m in theDandenong area. I believe Power Road Car Sales in Dandenong are reasonable? Some may beg to differ though of course! Interested in people’s experiences/feedback. All advice greatlyappreciated! J Cheers! J
