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.

      Ceramic turbine damage to engine - what did yours do?

      By Lithium · Posted

      Whoa, that's a name I've not see for a long time! Sorry to hear about the engine / turbo damage.  Fwiw with any engine problems it often really a case of just seeing what happens when it's apart, ymmv - I wouldn't rule out the possibility that the damage isn't even from the turbo failure, or possibly from a combination.  The airflow between cylinders isn't dead even, injectors can go off over time as well, with the turbos overboosting if you didn't have upgraded fuel system there could have possibly been a bit of leaning out - stock triggering is often a bit unreliable by this age too.  Basically its an old engine and a few things could have been going on, and you won't know how much work is needed until the engine is apart.

      I'm just shocked there's a euro driver on our roads who is thinking of other road users and not attempting to blind everyone. I wonder if Prank uses his indicator too...

      So whats the deal with the porous block VR30DDTT

      By Duncan · Posted

      Its hard to tell really. The Q50 owner's forum talks about it a lot and has quite a few people directly affected, but no idea what % of cars sold actually had the block replaced. Also, there seem to be 2 distinct issues which both get diagnosed by Infiniti as requiring a block replacement (no wonder they are going broke) 1. "Porous block" where coolant mixes with oil through thin or poorly cast parts of the block 2. Head coolant gallery plugs not sealing. If I was noticing engine coolant loss I'd start with cooling system pressure test (as always) and then I'd pull the cam covers and reseal the coolant gallery plugs on both side before worrying about a potentially porous block.  If neither of those did the trick it would be put in a second hand engine out of japan; I haven't checked pricing but I'm sure there are plenty around by now as they've been in production 10+ years

      Neil's R33 Gts-t Build

      To clarify what I posted above, I thought you both had a situation where it cancelled sooner one way than the other.....if it is reasonably even where it cancels in either direction that is probably normal (consider gentle movements like lane changes, you don't want it to need half a turn of lock to turn the indicators off)
