Do you still have the big wing on it? I've only ever had one person try to drag me, and that was a VN last week!! Chop was dished of course. A couple have tried to run me on the freeway....chop dished. Then I remain at the limit, look over as they pass & they are looking straight ahead. :worship:

All I suggest is don't bite. :spank: Drags aren't for the street.

nah mate removed the T wing hahaha u know i figured by the time i mean ahah i know its illegal but yea umm....this honda wants to bOp me aye and i was thinking of standing it up hahah and not even goin to appear lol i mean i only drive my GTS to get around....danno what he does with his family car hahah but he seems to really want to give me some chopping....but yea all i heard was his one was a vtech and has a air filter...and only what i have is just air filter and muffler hahah i wreckon it'd be a close run or something if it does happen?

but i danno hahah maybe hes been watching tooooo much fast and furious hahah i like drift bible aye but its so hard to get the stuff right in my car when its my turn lol

Maybe because you drive a skyline and most people assume you would want to race since the image a line gives off nowdays (damn politicians). Yeah drags are for the strips but we'll all be lying if we say we dont give another car a go at the lights once in a while huh (not that I encourage street racing now kids). Dont underestimate a honda (or any other marks) cause when the VTEC kicks in YOOO, you'll be shock at the outcome haha. My stock lude can take out a stock 33gts with minor mods and its a tip haha but not by alot.

Due to the hunger for power and a more aggrasive look Im upgrading to a 34 but still will be keepin the lude for time being. Also be prepare to get more hoons trying to drag you after FF3 comes out that will definately pump them up haha.

Well vtec is not all that the american boys make them sound like if its a bloody T88 turbo or something. Maybe its because they havent driven a line before since they cant import them in the states =). As for FF3 the movies gonna suck but we're all gonna go see it anyways when it comes out ahha.

Nice to see you removed the wing, this is often the cause for people wanting to race skylines. Although you may lose around 5hp - try also removing any visable asian style air fresheners. I find that having one of these makes people want to race me ALL the time.

i find the best way to respond to any retard in some slow bucket of crap is to do some of the following

. drive dead on the speed limit and not bother (boring)

or

. chop them, but on and off the throttle so you play with them like a cat and mouse, usually waving and or blowing kisses or similar. i did that once and when i pulled up at the lights the dude thought hed be funny and tell me my car broken cos it was stuttering. when i told him what i was really doing, he got emo and closed his window. god its too easy sometimes.

another tip wait to a grap in traffic, then block them in. not only does it save you racing, it also makes them angry. so you win times 2!

these days i just let them go past me, its not worth my car and license to make some moron look like a... moron. end of the day i know a lancer /accent/ excel/ vn v6/ magna etc is not going to be worth my expensive bp 98.

There was this chick in driving along Morley last night thinking she was a rally driver. She tried to take on a soarer and then pulled up next to me revving her engine. When I laughed she stuck her finger up at me and cut me off and was playing with traffic all the way to her street.

i had some guy in a soarer trying to instigate a drag (down here in melbourne). Lights turned green, he did a bit of a wheel spin, and took off. I just carried on about my business as per usual. Dont see the point in risking it. In fact, the worst i have done is testing out the turbo on the freeway entry ramp (which in itself was done when there were no other cars near me).

    • Ok glad you clarified on the frenchy’s options , I was worried about if my oem hoses would fit the new compressor or not if I just bought the bracket/compressor kit ,  didn’t realize they also sold a larger full conversion kit. Hmm may just go oem in that case then to make it easy only because I plan to sell this car to upgrade to a 32 GTR or 34 GTT.
    • Right, here's a video of the basic operation at least.  This is what you can expect day to day when you turn the car on and it boots from standby.  The only thing from a media point of view I haven't gotten working is for it to autoplay plexamp when it turns on from standby (it works from cold boot) but that's more of a plexamp problem as it will autoplay other music players.  Also attached is my one stray cable.  It's part of the screen's wiring adapters but there's just nowhere for it to go in my car.  I've just now done a bit of research and found a matching port on a 2010-2014 head unit with BOSE.  Mine has no BOSE so that's that case pretty much closed I think.  Plugging in the Infiniti AC panel basically did nothing for me, so that's a dead end as well.  Next port of call is to mess with this CANBUS module and see what I can find from it.  I found this resource containing the DBC files for a 2010+ G37 : https://github.com/icecube45/Dash_InfinitiG37/blob/master/InfinitiG37.dbc I'll now have something to go from when I try to extract my CANBUS data so I can see if the HVAC Mode, Fan Speed, Temperature, etc. match and also the gear shifter position.  It's a pretty big assumption that it's just mismatched CAN signals but considering all the devices in the CAN network are talking to each other (AC can be fully adjusted just with no info on screen) it might be a safe one.  I will report back WhatsApp Video 2025-02-26 at 12.49.10.mp4
    • Thanks for that Paul.  Do you think if I posted a picture you'd be able to remember where it went? 
    • Sorry Duncan, I didn't get a notification for the replies.  Thanks for responding!  It's a full Android device, but does allow you to use CarPlay/AA as well.  This is the one I bought from NaviRS on AliExpress: https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005006368602668.html?spm=a2g0o.order_list.order_list_main.111.59aa1802JDzQ0E - the 2K 8G-256G CAM variant but it seems to have gone up by £170 since I bought it!  My purchase was £307.14.   It's not the fastest thing in the world but performs perfectly adequately.  It stays on standby unless I disconnect the battery and let it power down, then it's just a fairly standard Android bootup time from cold.  The DSP Equaliser is very nice and made the standard stereo system sound pretty decent compared to the stock screen.  Perhaps I can take a video of it when I get a sec. It *allegedly* supports the reverse camera, but I'm yet to get that working.  It has options for reverse cam (a camera unit can be bought separately) or 360 cameras (also bought separately).  To be fair it doesn't seem to detect that the shifter was put into reverse but I'm working on a theory about this as well.  At the moment I'm going without which is a bit annoying considering the car is an absolute canal barge but so far I haven't caused any damage I'll grab a picture of the wire I'm missing later today when I can get outside.  My theory, by the by, is that not only is the head unit different, but the CANBUS network has different signals for the different years.  I think this because I have a spare AC panel from a newer Infiniti G37 (as opposed to my Nissan panel) which wouldn't control anything except the volume when I had it wired up with the stock system.  I'm going to throw it back in and see if the screen will respond to it.  I've just ordered an arduino CANBUS module so I can have a look at the signals going around the car and see if I can spot anything.  I'm thinking if I can work out what it's expecting vs what it's getting I might be able to translate and relay the signal back but so far just a theory anyway. I also found this on my travels, so far the only one that specifically matches my car: https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005002822934280.html?spm=a2g0s.imconversation.0.0.33433e5fgttovi If you look at the picture of the before, it has the card reader slot, and the picture of the head unit is exactly the same as the one pictured in my original post.  I asked if they sell the cables separately but sadly they won't.  I didn't want to just buy this one because it's a super old Android version and only dual core - likely slow as hell. 
    • As above, you did refill the coolant and burp the system before running it again didn't you?
