But see you are the only one who realises this... everyone else who owns one thinks that they will smash a skyline in there stock berlina ;)

He would be the 2nd one... To date ive never picked a race with any skylines or silvia's in my LS2. Unfortunetly ive had dickheads in their VL's, VP's, VR's etc at the lights trying to initiate a drag. There are decent V8 owners out there, shame there reputation is tarnished by the bourbon drinking, cigarette smelling yobos in there $2k commo's.

Well, I do get overtaken by little cars because I'm very cautious in the streets, because my car seem to attract police cars .... like this morning, got pulled over again and I wasn't doing anything dangerous. I told my wife about it, she reminded me to sell the car, once again. So I keep at absoloute speed limit most of the time and let other cars overtake me.

Hey Anthony, mines fairly stock looking, and I never got pulled over (minus the 4 under covers driving through King Cross on a Friday night with no plates. Was coming down from QLD)

Does yours look all kitted out?

Dude i am only joking like most others on here, every type of car has some sort of tool/booner driving them, this unfortunatly includes skylines.... it's just that we typically pay out on the commonwhores and rex's :P as they do on us...

:P I get the Leb, subwoofer, chrome wheels, on bump stops thing almost every week hahah. They might get a “soccer mom Tarago” “Safe cardigan wearing Camry” or “San Fran Fudge Fun Jeep Wrangler” from me.

Its all tongue in cheek fun :ninja:

Ain't it funny that the stereotypical Ricer is a Leb with gold chains, or a chain smoking Asian, but when we did the poll on SAU the norm was a caucasian white aussie pink neck [we aren't game enough to be red].

The only true reason there are more commonwhore or fordpill rejects out there is cos they are cheap and available with heaps of parts and are a known entity. So if Car'n the Blues ever gets out of his depth with his Kmart spanner set he can call on any garage mate to help him out.

If he had to go through the same learning curve and have to rely on the same experts/garages we did he would look like Pumpkin at the railway station.

Mine looks stock too. But it is very loud. I come home, it shakes the whole house, sets off car alarms. Very loud BOVs goes off every gear change. I try to be courteous and drive on high gears. The cop this morning was nice about it, since I do have a clean driving record and I'm probably older than him. He didn't scruitinise the car, but I am expecting a small infringement notice.

Note that, my neighbour is a highway patrol cop, he's a big fan of my car. He also has some loud machines in his garage.

Yeh, Just Lookin, keep looking. Your on the wrong forum.

He did it on the Nissan Silvia forums too.

Can you get a infringement notice for noise? i thought they would just yellow card you on the spot, the buggers :dry:

Did what exactly..?? My point was, there is no sence in bagging or commenting on ones driving abilities/habits, when yours arnt any better. Simple really.

Awww Bullet32 has lots of sence, I mean cents, or was it sents, umm scents, ooops I really meant sense. :P

Okay okay I put myself down now before someone else does... I really am the biggest loser :rofl:

I think its funny reading statements like "Then he did....... So i then proceeded to rev/speed/overtake".. Only to end your stories with an insult.. Not taking into account that your actions were as stupid as theirs were.. The looks on their faces when they display such behaviour only to be pulled over by an unmarked car is priceless..

Keep the stories coming thoe, its a good read..

Bullet32, your silver Ferrari often goes over 100km/h up the Monaro in the mornings as i casually look at you whilst driving to work, yet here you are telling stories of others selfish acts!!

QUOTE - so naturally this pissed me off, so I sped up and overtook him..."

Why dont you be an even bigger hero and tell me how fast you were going?

Yes Bullet32, you are officially my biggest loser encounter.

Who the F*ck are you and why have you brought your soap box here?

Did I ever say that I was the worlds best driver? No... This is simply for pointing out the people on the road who make us laugh because of how hard they try.

No matter what you drive you can be pointed at and laughed at by someone, there will always be many different people with many different likes and dislike.

I'll bet that if you went onto the Commodore or Falcon forums you would find a thread about Skyline and Silvia "Losers" or "ricers", its called friendly competition... Deal with it or dont post here.

Oh and by the way, if you see me on the Monaro in the morning going over 100km then you probably see the other 1000+ cars that are going the same speed and Im sure that you would have done it more than once, so dont get all high and mighty mate.

I think youre in the wrong place... Play nice or leave.

    • As GTS mentioned, it takes a bit of faffing, some fiddling and a little modifying.  With the strainers, you can buy different styles. Some sit flat on the pump, some angle down.  Here are some photos of mine, ignore the ugly welds lol. 
    • The smart thing is to actually locate the pump at the right point down the hanger, so that the strainer can stay sticking out at a right angle, but near the bottom. This is the perpetual hassle with retrofitting any different pump to the factory hanger. Some just go where you need it to, some need fiddling and faffing, and modifying of stuff.
    • Some updates. After a lot of praying and some inspecting of crank threads, we've found that they were both kinda munted but nothing seemed terminal. The other option was drilling and helicoiling the crank. That is obviously the last option so we decided to at least try to get a OEM GM bolt in to GM Specs. So after honing/linishing the balancer from it's .002" interference fit to a .0018" to .0015" to .0013" it eventually slotted on to the crank. ATI state the interference is nominally 0.0007-0.0009... so it's still snugger than ATI reckon and explains the issues we had to fit the thing to begin with. New GM bolt went in at 37 ft/lb then torqued 140 degrees after which was EXTREMELY   but it tightened up to 140 degrees and it was a lot of force. So all things considered, the balancer is secured to the exact specs that GM want with the OEM Stretch bolt, (that ATI say you can use..) and the balancer itself is seated and snug AF. So WOO. Engine is now back in the car with lots of swearing. Bellhousing bolts done up, driver side manifold is on, AC Compressor and hard lines are back on the car. Next step will be to connect various engine bits/wiring/intake/radiator etc. Then oil and coolant and ... test start it? And of course, looking into this issue... which actually doesn't look so bad - It looks like it can be twisted back into shape with a set of multigrips. Anyone wanna buy my bonnet? Boy it looks good over there and sunk cost sucks.
    • Also this may be a stupid question, but how would you recommend getting the strainer on a downwards angle ? as they tend to obviously clip to the bottom of the pump which usually sits level 🥴
