Who cares!

I appreciate all cars for what they are. I love the technology in the newer jap cars, and I enjoy the old school machines too.

I think I need to meet you sir.

It's always refreshing to meet another like minded soul - for me performance is king - I don't care what badge it wears or in what country it was built.

Too true.

Whilst I don't like just any rubbish on the road (*cough* Hyundai *cough*), I do appreciate a cars worth/performance/technology/tuneability. I've grown up around petrol head family members. I'm not just talking about spectators who frequent events either. My family and my missus family has a history of competition in motorsports. Including myself (the next generation of petrol heads LOL. I've owned cars from my (deceased) uncle's drag spec 250 cross flow Cortina (this thing could bag up the tyres easy!), a 351 powered XM falcon, to a SR20 supercharged 200B and CA18DET 1600 ... and a Ralliart Magna, a Suzuki Liana :laugh

My spread of bikes owned and built is just as fruitful also. Factory turboed GPZ750, Aprilia RS250 race bike, TLR1000, including italian influence of an MV Agusta. I have too many toys, and no one is stopping me :P

My missus' brother drives an old school HR holden with a 350 chev under the bonnet. This thing has been restored/rebuilt to the max (over $70K worth) and its performance is absolute horn. I've gotta get this thing out on one of SAU cruises one day. :P

back on topic... this is what happened to me today

at around 8pm on my way from work to home some guy in late model lexus suv was following me all the way on the north terrace towards port road and hectically flashing his long-beams into me. I tried speeding up but he kept following me... I got really annoying as I was getting headache and couldnt see a shit (did I forget to say he had xenons) so I the moment of anger I waved middle finger at him and sped up which really only made it worse (but I really couldnt help myself)... I tried to shake him off at port road-george st intersection by making it look like I'm going to turn into george street but then last moment making a really sharp left turn into james congdon rd, but didn't work he kept following me and kept speeding up... so then I went on to right turning lane and tried turning right into a side street but he was heading towards me with full speed like he was going to ram me... so I turned my steering wheel full lock to left and did a burnout out from turning lane back into back street and pissed off... fortunately all the smoke confused him and he could only do a U-turn and turn around, but fortunately I was already far enough and disappeared into side streets...

I'm really reallyy getting sick of people flashing lights at me... it happens at least once a day... I mean, usually its sic cants in crappadores, but I mean lexus suv is pretty random... whats wrong with these people? cant they understand that i dont want to race their shit piles of scrap but just want to get home!?

don't know if the guy just randomly picked me cause I got skyline or was it someone stalking me...

Hearing shit like this really makes ya think, do i really want my licence back.. Yeah, still do, If it happened to me I'd pull over, see what he does then. if he pulls over, gun it, like to see him keep up. Just make sure its on a straight and you know the roads and can lose him down a side street or whatever. But yeah whats the world coming too!

i think the luxury suv crowd cant get it through their heads that the 50-100k they forked out on their 'overweight box on wheels' didnt include any

performance. it probably bothers them that a 10-15k skyline can toast them.

you probably did the wrong thing by reacting to this dude though, it seems as it just fueled the fire some more. just ignore them and they lose interest.

i get the falcadores always wanting to race, tailgating, people wanting to see a drift/burnout ect, i just ignore it all & keep driving

its true hey, they see a skyline so that means they need to put on the hero act. if only they knew how stupid they look from our perspective :D

i had a classic the other day, some clapped out old corolla gets up next to me and proceeds to do about 4 keybangers.. sorry mate i dont understand what you are tyring to show here? are you trying to compensate for lack of power by shooting flames out of your exhaust? :(

This crap happens all the time. I like all cars, much like Need for Speed: Tokyo Drift - "That's great, you read the brochure" (Daddy's Viper).

I've had many issues with "Bogans" up my ass with high beams and I simply switch the rear view mirror. If they continue i simply up the Rammstein music with the windows open and indicate to the next lane. If they copy I then slow down a little. If they hit me their fault. I could stop, get out of the car and gather the steel bar in my back seat out, but that isn't going to solve anything in the end.

If it's threatening enough that I have to worry i will drive to some form of police station, or did what i did with my mates on a cruise one, BOX them in and give a two way stare from cars either side and have the car at the front slow them down :( Believe me, i still remember the looks on their faces :D But why bother risking ones life for some idiot with some form of anger issues/psychological problems. Might be a Glenside escapee in the car behind, no matter how good you are at fighting, a gun is a gun, a knife is a knife and you can't reverse the effects. Think smart and stay calm - and safe. Last thing you want to do is floor it at some ridiculous speed only to crash your own car or worse into someone else. That will only give them the last laugh.

OMG I this so reminds me of one time last year right, I was coming home from mates work shop round the 8.20 mark turning off South rd onto Black rd (near the vic) and was doing the speed limit not driving like a dick or cutting anyone off and from behind had a XB/XC white ford ute come flying up my ass and began tailgating m.

Nowwhen i say tailgating i mean i couldnt see his lights close! Checked my speed and was doin the right speed. Guy kept doint it and followed me along black rd once i turned down a back street n saw him keep goin i was like fark this booged it (yes i know for everyone goin to gimme flack for this naughty naughty) and he kept following i did some fairly dodgy manovers trying to get rid of this wanker headed back to blacks then over took cars left right n centre to loose him he did some deadly driving to keep up only got a slight look at him in my rear view when he was honking and flashing me. Beanie, Goatie. etc Didnt get plates and didnt get a better look. didnt pull over coz he couldve had a gun on him who knows.

Reckon he was def on drugs. He gave up after a bit. Just thought id put the word out to warn others in this area the guy either has something against skylines, imports or all of the above. Just a warning to all. I didnt prevoke this either incase anyone is thinking that. Not gonna do nething to attract attention to my car so attracts dickheads n thieves. Just keep an eye out lads n ladettes!!!!

Prob go report it in morning to the local police but without plates not much good!

I get this same wanker twice a week in his shit blue GLI Falcon, wannbe XR6, driving home from work. He sees me and he starts wanting to race me, tailgating me and carrying on like a f**king idiot. This isn't some random moment, this occurs 2 times a week for the past 4 months and he just hasn't caught on that I am NOT interested. :blush:

I had a gut full for the wanker last week when he came close to hitting my Stagea, so I reported him to the police.

AA235H is his plate. If you see him, just report him to the cops. Enough complaints and he'll get owned.

    • Hello,new to the group, I bought a R32 from auction recently, wondering if anyone knows the cars history, seems to have the usual go fast bits on it, plan is to do an engine swap- add 2 extra cylinders and 1 extra turbo. https://www.dropbox.com/scl/fi/i4rjmlzubjbwjtguh6f4s/IMG20241011140744.jpg?rlkey=q0lumm251377vknbqktfwrycq&st=7scvwx4e&dl=0 https://www.dropbox.com/scl/fi/ro24qmwzlczzlfsr4y05x/Screenshot_2024-10-10-10-49-23-90_9a2f5bb2149dae94cd1e190effc09b33.jpg?rlkey=oyguh26ttshlf04ccp48odf4v&st=xloae97b&dl=0   New to forums and posting pics, if links don't work, take it easy on me, 42yrs old and I tune carburettors!!  
    • As far as I know, Infiniti stopped importing vehicles before 2020, even though they were still selling their stock for at least a year or 2 after that, they were older build years, therefore, you can import a 2020 400R, because you couldn't buy an AuDM 2020 built Q50 RS. As for insurance, you might need to go through one of the enthusiast insurance companies, they tend to insure a lot more grey import models than the mainstream insurers as Duncan mentioned.
    • loved seeing the zenvo on the a1 just after the hatfield tunnel i was the guy in the white van trying to egg you on it sounded awesome and those exhausts glowing red inside insane cheers for the thumbs up tim and tom.
    • So.... when I'm finally getting around to having my power steering leak sorted, now it looks like I've got the same issue most A/T Skylines are having. My A/T light will randomly come on and I'm stuck in 3rd gear until I turn the car off and on again. Only 3 weeks ago I did a complete transmission service: Oil flush + new gasket + new filter. This came out of nowhere!! It wasn't like the car was driven hard. I drove about 3 mins down the road to get fuel and boom!!!  Anyway, I have a few questions and hope you fine people can help me out here. All questions are in red. 1. The solenoids: I was looking at the parts catalogue in Amayama and I could only find the Solenoids as an assembly. https://www.amayama.com/en/part/nissan/319404ax05 I read in another thread that Solenoid A = 31940-4AX02 & Solenoid B = 31940-4AX05 but the Amayama product has only the code of B. Is this the right part? Can anyone who has done the Solenoid changes or seen them confirm if this is the complete set of A & B?   2. Gasket and Filter: I'm not going to try change the solenoids myself because it seems difficult to do in a home garage with just 2 jack stands. I plan to take it to a shop and get it changed. I was also going to buy the transmission sump gasket at the same time so I don't reuse the same gasket. Should I just use the existing gasket as it has only been on the car since OCT 19th? (~3 weeks) Should I be buying a brand-new gasket and a filter? Does this job involve taking the filter out?   Thanks in advance to everyone. It's hard to find a video of someone doing a solenoid change on a R34 so any help you can give answering my remaining questions would make me less stressed.
    • Yea - From what I have seen from the video, the car idles like any R34 lol 50PSI of fuel pressure is hardly super abnormal, the regulator is working because the pressure remains static when the throttle gets revved, i.e pressure remains the same when manifold vaccuum changes. Bigger pumps on stock rails always bumped the pressure in the rail without using an aftermarket regulator to change that. Do you know what your IAC is actually doing? Has there been any data showing the stepper motor % etc? There's no way your idle is actually moving around the way the cluster(s) are indicating. You would hear the difference with the engine RPM flying to 3k and 1k in mere seconds. I'd be checking the wiring to the tacho. What the tacho is telling you and what the engine/ecu is telling you are different things. I assume your ECU doesn't display the spike. So whatever is telling the tacho to be at X rpm is doing something weird. When the going gets insane, you're on the wrong path. You've ruled out plenty of things that are working correctly/aren't the issue. Your idle isn't doing what the tacho is indicating. You have two seperate issues, I don't think they are linked, and the idle seems reasonably okay unless it's stalling which.. well, it hasn't. Troubleshoot the stall if it occurs by figuring out what your IAC is doing vs what it is being told to do.
