Jayce I am sure you have some funny stories to tell from the Bike side though!!

I think this thread needs life breathed back into it. I'd love to contribute with a recent story, but I'm not out there driving in the real world all that much. Surely, post SummerNuts, there's some stories to be told?

Travelling down the Tuggeranong expressway this morn. 4WD work ute fully loaded and steel toolboxes. Decides he wants to go fast and rip a 2.5 TT Supra in reasonable trim. BAHAHAHA

Weird! What was he thinking.

Anyways a fire engine pulls out and takes up both lanes down the express.

Wanker in 4WD is so keen he sits on its ass so he's got the drop if/when the Fire engine (lights, sirens blazing away) turns off.

Watched from a good distance. Must of thought he was serving it up @ 120kms. LMFAO. A 2nd gear effort for the Supra...

TOSSER!!!!

My biggest loser award goes to all those family friends I have who buys BMW 318s & tries to show them off as being a rich man's car...

DUDES, those are like the bottom of the BMW 3's range, come back & show off when you can afford a M3 or at least a 335!

Just had a conversation with a family friend, she saw a typical 318 & said that she likes that car coz when you drive one it shows to everyone around you that you are in the rich class, my reply was: "no ones thinks you are rich for driving a 318, just makes you into the 'wannabe' rich group". That shut her up good.

one of my cousins came to australia recently (from austria) and one of the things she asked was "why do these people think taxis are cool" (3 series/e class's = taxis in europe)

i couldn't give her an answer

On Australia day I was walking up a busy road when some tosser in a dark green VT Commonwhore chopped springs stockies etc, does a u turn and rips a shitty single pegger burnout. I laughed so hard.

the amount of times i wish i had a video camera recording in countless, the other day i saw a fully shit chromed up crap box attempt to be fully sick and drift (i use that term very loosly) or should i say spin the wheels while turning at a decent speed only to realise he was carrying too much speed and couldnt spin the wheels and mounted the kerb, dust everywhere and then sped off like nothing happened..... i was laughing so hard that i got tooted by the car behind me cause the light went green..... it was one of the best wanka moments ive seen.

ive only had some loser in a 300zx attempt to drag me on my bike (K7 600) hmmmm, me thinks he not very smart. anyway little did he know that i knew there was a mobile speed camera around the corner from the lights so i gave a little rev, took off slightly quicker than normal, didnt go over 75kms and i can see him and his mates laughing at me in the car...... their smiles quickly turned to holy shit looks when the 300 slammed on his breaks seeing the camera way too late (he woulda got done for sure) i slowly caught up to him after the camera, i get the f you/finger etc etc, i reply with a massive grin, laughter and wanker gesture and leave em behind.....lol....

Ok, ok I know I'm digging up a really old thread here, but seriously... I need to rant!

Why is it that almost every time I drive my Skyline I get hassled by idiots in Falcodores or Commonwhores!!??

Yesterday morning, I was driving to work on the Monaro Hwy, in the left hand lane minding my own business when a white VR ute with 20" chromies and white walls and a Blue VE SS came past me (sitting almost inside the tailpipe of the Corolla in front)...

When the guy in the ute saw my car he slowed down and let the Corolla in front of him get about 100m away and then proceeded to pump the throttle over and over (so that the ute lurched forward).

I think he as trying to incite a race or something (although I have no idea why cos we were in peak hour morning traffic).

I ignored this and kept pace with the traffic in the left hand lane, so eventually (after getting bored) they both took off.

After about 2 minutes, I turned off the Hwy on to Hindmarsh Drive to head into Fyshwick... So of course sitting in front of me at the lights were the white ute and the blue SS (revving their V8's at each other) and when the lights turned green the two of them chopped and weaved between the cars until they had a clear road in front of them to speed away (at what I can only guess was well over 100kmh in an 80 zone).

This sort of thing happens to me at least every second day...

Is it just because I drive a Skyline or does every Falcodore driver have something to prove?? :P

-End rant-

i think they are just annoyed that a car from the 80s can still kick their arses

I cop the same thing on Monaro, Mick.

I'm usually sitting on around 95 up over the hill from Theodore (which is usually behind another car that is doing 95, i'm happy to mosey along in the morning), and then yeh, same deal.. Last time it was a Red Lancer (possibly evo V), so many people dont understand, 'time and place'..

    • Hey all, I'm working on a project car and I believe I made some mistakes. I'm looking to remove the clear coat from my car on most panels (except for panels where the paint has blistered, I will sand this), but wanted to know if these steps are correct?   1) Get a red scuff pad (abrasive one) instead of sand paper to remove the shine from the surface 2) get 400 grit sand paper and go over the entire car with a random orbital sander so the surface is smooth and the primer can grab onto something 3) On the blistered paint, go over it with around 120 grit sand paper, go to 240 to smooth out the scratches, then finish on 400 grit. Anything to add in here or any feedback?
    • Agreed, another vote for the Haltech CAN wideband.  No voltage offset errors is a beautiful thing.
    • Just get a Haltech CAN wideband, no need to wire any delay circuits, or relay, etc. Since I've moved to a Haltech CANbus wideband, I have not replaced a single sensor for over 5 years (if not longer, can't remember when moved to Haltach).
    • Small analogue delay circuit with a relay. Just need a trigger, say, fuel pump running for more than 5s or so? Or, you could go full mental and write a sketch for an Arduino.
