I thought it was my turn to have a rant, so here is the story...

Tonight went for a cruise with my mate up norton summit into lobethal,then back down the gorge, at Kangaroo creek we stop and have a break as im feeling abit tired. Then after awhile a cooner spec VN full of feral skin heads pulls in and starts yelling and harrassing the F*** out of us, so we just boost it out of there only to be followed, but it only took a few corners to loose them.

About an 30-40 minutes later we are getting food at HJ's only to have a junker VL and a VS both full of yobbo's come and start circling around my car so I couldnt drive off, one of them just narrowly missing my car :woot: ... So we just sat in the car looking like we didnt give a shit until the got bored and buggered off.

I just realised now I should of written down their plates and reported them :D

I dont have a problem with commodore drivers in general my brother and one of my best mates drive them and they dont act like yobbos.

Do things like this happen to other skyline drivers or am I just unlucky at attracting these random commodore knob jockeys??

yeh its happened to me a few times... on the way home from work once i got a commodore sitting right up my arse, when i look back into my rear vision mirror i cant see his bonnet thats how close the C*** was, so wat do u do? its farken peak hour so boost'n off into the sun set aint an option... i turn off into mawson lakes, this fag follows me and is hangin out the window yelling at me to pull over.... id pull over and have a crack at him if he didnt look 3 times the size of me. eventually loose him tho as i know mawson lakes pretty good.

a few times i get randoms asking my dumb questions.... like "omg a skyline how much boost are you running??????" and "does it boost hard?????" thaey are my personal favourites.

you always get flamin mongrels like that.. the other day a vr pulled into the car park next to me and my mate.. his music was blazing, we both have 32's so we started up our engines and he shut up.. u gotta set em in line.... just show em whos boss like mentioned earlier dude, else if they threatening, just ignore them... they will eventually get bored... best of luck mate.

I also get it in my daily young commy drivers cutting in frount of me and driving right up my ars. So i slow down to 50kph just to piss them of and when they go to over take i speed up lol then at the lights i just give them a big smile lol

just watch out tho most think they are 50cent or eminem lol

A funny part I forgot my mate was saying after we left one of the guys in the VS was asking his mate in the car "is that thing really have a turbo" :D

I thought having RS-TURBO on the side of the car would be a big enough indication? :D

I guess the only answer is to take them on.... and give them shit for losing to a 2 litre 4 cylinder :woot:

+1 for all the above comments yes there may be some good commys out there but im so sick of them getting up ur ass and wanting to drag u if i had a dollar for every time that happened

no shit, if you had a $1 for every time that happens you would be a millionaire!!

my best mate and his mates all have nice supercharged or v8 spec commy's but i have been cruising with them a couple of times and even they hate elizabethian spec commy's.....but yes i have had plenty of these...i also seen to attract small turbo cars trying to give me a run....but yes if i had a $1 for everytime a commy or ford driver wanted to give me a run i would have a freaking 34 NUR GTR by now

what's going on? they're still spewing over bathurst! they're just jealous because they can't put fully sick nismo stickers on their cars!

but i've had my share of these situations! mainly because my car is rice

Unless they start getting serious n start calling me shit i usually wont do anything. Racing people like that isn't even worth it at all. Im still waiting for the chance to do a keybanger into someones window one day with the corolla. It'll either get them really mad or shut em up. Im curious to see.

ive had a couple of bogans yell stuff after giving em a beating, i usually cant make it out between the bogan slur and my exhaust note so i dont really bother me. usually just laugh at em :)

my bro's gets way worse with his swift turbo, he usually gets the finger. but its funny as hell when he beats the v8s and they seriously get on the verge of crying. we got some of them on film :P

i reckon i prob got more abuse in my dato though back in the day, i reffered to it as fastest bucket of sh*t in town complete with peeling vynle roof. i beat a vs once and there was a lil swerving at me and slamming on the brakes in front of me that followed was quite shocked by it

but when these people do this crap it also confirms they were trying there hardest to win and still got whipped :laughing-smiley-014:

i was travelling around 20kmph and just came out of a petrol station and next thing i new a vl was up my arse..

so he puts on his blinker to overtake and as hes next to me pushing its guts i put my foot down a little, reachin 60 in no time, only for him to swerve back behind me to avoid a truck, he then swerved in front, tried to side swipe me, then pulled in front of me, slammed on his brakes, then went back behind hit my rear bumper, and i had to boost. Not a cool experience, My wallet hated him, so did my rear bumper.. Jerks.

Sorry to say but you asked for that. Accellerating while someone is next to you is just stupid, no matter how nice or crap their car is. The fact he had to swerve back in to avoid a head on collision is just stupid on your behalf, what were you trying to prove? Of course going to enrage someone doing that!

I hope you learned your lesson not to put yourself and others in a dangerous situation like that even if they are being idiots, last thing we need is another news story saying "skyline was racing a commodore when the commodore driver was forced to collide head on with oncoming traffic"

/rant

hah the only sort of 'commodore bogans' I get are the ones trying to get my attention, usually just turn the music up and pretend i cant hear them. The ones that try drag me off at the lights are the best.. i rev the engine a little to make em think im gonna take em on then as they floor it i just cruise off slowly. They will get caught one day..

    • Hi all,   I’ve got the biggest lot of problems with my R33 GTS-T   It was a freshly rebuilt 25th anniversary RB25DET (plastic cas, neo cams) probably 6 years ago now   The engine was running so well but I fkd up badly and trusted someone I’d known for 10 years that was well known around Plazmaman for his welding and fab work. I added a lovely photo of some of his previous work. Not sure why my car was worked on by whoever did this shit     I’m normally someone who would never open myself up to something like this, I still can’t believe I did it. Trusting him literally fkd it all up for me. Everything has been a struggle, like it’s almost been 6 years that’s how much I’ve just on and off been trying to work it all out.    All I wanted was a car that danced down low, like full boost from around 3~3500rpm to redline, don’t really care what power it puts down (if it ever does) but I just wanted it to be quick to get on it.    He recommended the turbo to get, I picked Hypergear but he told me to get the front 4” with a T4 and 0.68 rear housing.    I was expecting all these beautiful welds, tidy fab work and paid for it to be ready to go to a tuner when I got it back.    I got a car back that was an absolute mess, I actually couldn’t believe it was my car anymore. I don’t think you could even call what he did welds, they’re disgusting.    So I stripped everything he touched off it and with every bolt I loosened it just got worse and worse.    I covered it and literally built and finished another car in the meantime but now it’s getting to the point where I really want my Skyline back.   Its a struggle because I paid him to do all this shit because I didn’t know how to and now I’ve had to try and figure it all out omg    Please excuse the bird shit horrible welds, I’ve got my show pony car and am so beyond dealing with this car I don’t even really care at this point.    If someone told me about what he did to my car I wouldn’t have believed them but it happened to me. It was unbelievable. He went missing, my car went missing, it came back missing parts, the straight af chassis rails bore the scars of being dragged up a trailer backwards, even the sandwich plate was bent. Everything was leaking and open to whatever fell into it, rounded off/ missing bolts, power steering oil and coolant everywhere, no gaskets, parts stolen off it, even managed to damage the sump pan.   Promised me he’d finish the car, knew what it meant to me, I paid him thousands and thousands just for him to trash it. He told me he was fully licensed and insured, come to find out he’d cancelled his ABN, so obviously no insurance. I had laid up insurance on the car and would’ve been covered but I was scared they would’ve written it off or because the business was no longer trading I’d still be liable.    He was supposed to:  New fully custom mild steam pipe exhaust manifold with turbo location moved from factory position to high forward mount. (I don’t know if it is a mild steam pipe, I’ve got a funny feeling the waste gate isn’t in a very good position and I don’t think the outlets off each cylinder are equal) 4” custom stainless steel dump with external gate (he re-plumbed it) Cut and shut OEM intake manifold with throttle reposition (I ended up doing the throttle reposition) Box in pod filter (left out) New 100cel catalytic converter (pretty sure it’s there but unsure if it’s 100cel) Front mount intercooler piping fabricated to suit (all smashed up and rusty holes where he was supposed to make it look standard where fmic piping passes through. I don’t even think my front bar is going to fit 🙄) Custom 5” intake pipe from pod to turbo (didn’t come with it so had to do something to make it work with the Z32 afm)   Engine: Full cylinder head service & machining  Brand new valves Precision upgraded spring kit Engine block honed New bearings  New piston rings  New ARP conrod bolt kit New ARP head studs Cometic head gasket VRS kit   ATR43SS2 ball bearing turbo 0.68 rear housing  Turbosmart 45mm external wastegate (got delivered to the fab bloke, I’ve got no idea what spring is in it, I’m assuming the one that came pre installed) Walbro 260 fuel pump  Nismo 740cc injectors (tested to 880) Spitfire coil packs GCG FMIC RB25DET manual 5 speed 4:11 rear diff   I’ve got an Apexi Power FC in it atm, I was hoping to just get it to operating temp to make sure everything was okay before towing to a tuner but it’s over-fuelling too much. I don’t think that’s going to happen so i think I’m going to get either a Link G4 or Haltech for it. What do you guys recommend? I can’t work out the power FC so just gonna give up on that one     It’s got an exhaust leak coming from somewhere I can’t see 🙄    The fuel pressure was steady but now it like drops from 40 to 20psi randomly (noticed this yesterday)    I’ll attach pics of the shit he put on my car and the engine bay now as it sits    I really just need some help, I need a tuner in Sydney I can trust, I’d like to be with the car while it’s being tuned if possible, I know it looks terrible but unfortunately I’ve just got to put up with it for now and fix the cosmetic stuff later   Do you guys think the manifolds are going to be okay? Or do I throw the exhaust manifold and try again?   I don’t even think these combinations are going to work tbh   I know everything I fitted was rated to be able to take at least 400kW but most rated higher    If you’ve gotten this far I really really appreciate it 🙏 I don’t mind if you trash me or the car, I made a rookie error and f**k I’ve paid for it. As you’ll see 🙄  
    • From everything I’ve heard you’ll be waiting a long time for  the parts to arrive 
    • Have you looked at the workshop manual?
    • Hmm. I've gotten pretty good outcomes from talking to them about things that I've had go wrong or ideas for improvement. Have had a lot to say about the R32 FUCAs, and they have sent out some replacement parts for those, gratis, on a couple of occasions. Mind you, I have bought a couple hundreds of $ of replacement rod ends for them too!
    • I have a r34 sedan 1999 manual converted need some help with my speedometer it only reads upto 98km and then stops currently still running the auto cluster any easy fixes no speedo drive is connected yet, if someone has a video for wiring up the manual speedo sensor with the auto cluster please send through
