John, I'm amazed at your absolutely care-free attitude to this event. If someone followed me, I would pull over only in a very public place if at all. And one day you will chase the wrong dude and he will get out of the car and A. Throttle you. B. Throttle you and take your car. Or C. He will be your favourite off-duty cop and he will throttle you and throw you in jail.

Your actions only perpetuate the road-rage phenomena. Yes, there are fools on the road, but two wrongs don't make a right.

Be the bigger man and let it slide.

Thats it hey. Its the 'unknown' factor. You dont know what is in their car, what they are on, why they cut you off, who they are etc. He could have just robbed a bank, killed the guard and not give a rats if your the next victim.

Seriously dude, say on your average 30min trip, you could let 5 cars in, the MAXIUM that is going to add to your trip is 1min if its heavy traffic.

But in regards to the keying thing, I hope the barstards get real bad hurt, by say an angry bull shark or something. Keying reallly gets on my nerves, if they push hard enough its got to be the hardest thing to fix up properly.

thanks everyone - i really appreciate the sympathy

That scratch looks very deep, buffing it might reduce it a bit however you may need to get it resprayed

yeah it is deep and yeah think your right... wonder if it would be cheaper to replace the bonnet.. probably not hey. i might go and look in the "good places to take your car" sticky thread to see if there are any recommended shops who do respraying

0_o that sucks balls man.. I dunno what it is about skylines but it always seams to attract wanker's attention.... Is it the fact that we could beat them in a race ? or maybe the fact we had enough money to buy a car that isnt falling appart around us ? or maybe the fact that we were smart enough wid our money to actuelly save up for something nice 0_o

This will never be answered but the fact is there will always be retards on our roads and streets and theres nothing we can do... Thats why god created carmagedon... ^^

Word. :nyaanyaa:

Some people just hold onto the past like it was only yesterday. You know what is funny, Southport / Surfers paradise have the highest rate of automobile break ins and theft in Qld, yet you rarely hear anybody say anything bad about those suburbs.

      MLR's Bogan cruise ship

      Yep, that was one of the things we learned fast in the past with our MX5. When you drive with the top down, you are effectively standing out in the sun, 100% of the time, and not getting in any shade (because roads aren't shaded generally!). Just like standing out in the middle of a field on a sunny 27C day is a bit of a bad plan, so is sitting in a MX5 without sun protection.

      I also just ordered some Frankenstein bolts and side mounts to fit a hard top Just in case I do find one, basically so it doesn't need to be fixed to the car with only the front latch.......and then gaffa tape to keep it in place for the RTN journey from wherever I get it

      If your temps are fine now, you probably won't have any issues with where your vents are as they don't look right up at the windscreens high pressure area, so any differences when giving it the beans for extended happy laps would be minimal, but, they should vent heaps when stuck in traffic  Much like how that reverse cowl on my SS let "visible" heat out when stationary, but, because it was basically at the windscreen my coolant temps on the Hwy actually raised because air was being fed into it at speed (110kph), to only come back down to around 90° when I got off the Hwy And your 100% correct about the NC currently not needing vents, but, if I was to add a turbo, and a oil cooler and intercooler in front of the condenserand radiator, and then take it to the track???? It is apparently a recommend requirement if I don't want to worry about coolant or oil temp issues, but, any of the above are possible scenarios, over time As it sits now, with the triple pass radiator and stock air conditioning system, I have absolutely no issues with either temps or air conditioning efficiency, I've been basically daily driving thie car for the last month, both on the Hwy, and peak hour, bumper to bumper traffic, but, that's pretty much expected from basically a standard engine  Talking about no issues daily driving, it was 39° the other day and I was sitting in bumper to bumper traffic on the M5 and then M7, with the top down, and with the air conditioning blowing nice cold air on my feet, balls, and face, well, there was one issue, my head and arms got pretty sun burnt Note to self: leave a hat and sunscreen in the car for such days 🤣

      Mechanic in Victoria

      I would agree, unless you need something specific to the HV motor/battery side repaired or investigated, any mechanic will be able to perform normal services, but if you prefer, maybe look for a mechanic who regularly services/repairs Nissans, the VQ engines are pretty common in the Nissan lineup.  Sorry, I can't make any suggestions, I don't live in Vic.

      Some of them keep working fine. 9 out of 10 of them end up causing an absolute misery bleeding the system and get thrown on the workshop floor in a tantrum and never thought about again because they were never really needed and just added crap to the car that we could have done without. Same-same with HICAS, A-LSD, and various other stupidities that over eager 10x engineers thought we had to have.
