i've had cops and regular joe's do that to me. i tap the brakes a couple of times but it doesn't seem to work.

speaking about brake lights - i hate it when cabs tap the brakes and tail gate, it shits me cos it is confusing (don't wanna single out cabbies, but they are the only ones i recall ever doing it)

having said that, i've been on the other side and tailed other people, but i don't tail them to annoy them, i want to get past them.

guys, you drive skylines - unfortunately it goes with the territory

I know it sux, but thats the way it is.

Case in point - taking photographs at Homebush Sunday night, and a divvy van drives in with two cops in it. You can bet your ass that if the cars being photographed were a bunch of skylines or other HPI's the shit would have hit the fan.

The cops looked and saw an Audi A3, Cooper S, Golf GTI, and TT Roadster. They just engaged reverse and drove straight back out. We were there for over an hour - even the local security guys drove in and out and didn't say anything...

and people wonder why I drive what I do... :D

WARNING

New Unmarked Highway Patrol unit in Menai and southern suburbs, patrolling southern sydney

brand spanking new BLACK SS COMMODORE, full highway patrol unit, looks like the car ya neighbour drives, including rear wing, and full SS bodykit, V8 badges...

WATCH OUT

I was talking to the 2 cops in the Menai Subway queue this arvo, and acted like a goody goody to get some info, and they were operating out of sutherland, patrolling the Sutherland shire, and St George areas, targeting street racing, illegally modified cars, and young drivers (that means they are the P patrol).

KNOW YOUR RIGHTS - they seemed like heavyweights, likely to push you around to make a bust.

Just a friendly warning from Son of Sydneykid

DAM ****EN STRAIGHT !!!

We where there a group of about 10 skylines taking photo's there and we got told to move on because it is illegal to take photo's there. When we moved they continued to harrass us and threatend to fine us !!

I wish i had unlimited fund i would sue the pricks for discrimination.

Maybe if everyone donates lots and lots of money to the forums we could get a class action going?! :uh-huh:

      Is there a significant price difference between the Evo/gtr/350z brembos vs the F50? Looks amazing.

      R33 fuel setup

      By Dose Pipe Sutututu · Posted

      I was actually being a tightarse at the time LOL... My OCD is tickling me into running a 2nd 8AN Teflon hose all the way down and removing the 2x OEM hardlines. My other side of my brain is telling me to run 2x hardlines front to back (also acts as a fuel cooler, so win win).

      As I mentioned in an earlier post, I had some trouble with the Silvia's brakes dragging back in 2023. I managed to sort it out then, but the same problem came back to bite me late last year. Just take a look at the picture – I had a feeling the handbrake was acting up again, and I was right. Anyway, I'd been wanting to upgrade to bigger brakes for a while. Not that the Silvia's brakes were bad, but it was more of a "want" than a "need", you know? It was funny, though – at the time, I couldn't find any Evo Brembos, 350Z Brembos, or GTR Brembos for a decent price (of course, tons of them popped up online after I already bought my kit!). I ended up going with an F50 Brembo kit, which came with adapters, brake lines, 330mm rotors, and top hats. The F50 Brembo caliper was used in a few other cars too, like the FPV. I also decided this was the perfect opportunity to ditch the Silvia's ridiculous rear brakes and that awful handbrake (some of you were definitely right about that!). I picked up some R33 calipers and all the necessary bits – rear drums, backing plates, and new hardware to refurbish the calipers. Of course, it wouldn't be a project without a few hiccups. Turns out the brake master cylinder was playing up and basically (to put it simply) keeping the brakes engaged. I had it overhauled, and after some adjustments, everything was working again. The whole process took a while, as you can imagine. To top it off, the front right wheel bearings were shot and needed replacing too. This is a rare occasion where I'm posting an update while it's all still fresh! These pictures were taken just this afternoon.

      I was just going to say that it's good to see you picking up the pace again. Hope the surgery goes well. More downtime just means more time to come up with new ways of digging a deeper rabbithole

      Correct part# for coilpacks for a S2 ER34

      By soviet_merlin · Posted

      How do they compare in size? I have the Yaris coil packs in mine and they work fine. But they are either bigger or sit differently so the engine cover doesn't fit anymore. Not the end of the world but not great either. Do the R35 ones sit flush?
