birds i doubt you drive your skyline correctly.. you prbaly nurse it for some un known reason.

how many accidents have you been on before you call me niiave? car accidents are 99% of the time clear cut where the blame lies its not rocket science if ur hit in the right of from behind whose fault it was whether they've got a hyundai or a skyline.

you talk a lot of shit man honestly.. you cant even believe it yourself.

I nurse my Skyline throughout the course of daily driving because there's a time and a place for spirited driving IMO. I can wait til DECA.

I've been in alot of car accidents. Some my fault, most not, fortunately. I know alot of people who've been in car accidents and I've seen more than a fair share of lawsuits over car accidents. The reason I say you're naiive when it comes to car accidents is because you think it's so clear cut and that people won't do everything they can to save their ass, particularly if they don't have insurance. Work by the assumption that most human beings are out for themselves and even the most honest of people when fronted with a situation that can land them in SHIT will stoop pretty low to avoid said shit.

Hit from the right:

-Pulled out from a side street and you didn't give way to the oncoming traffic

-You were part of the oncoming traffic and someone turning right didn't give way to you

-You went straight through a roundabout and the people turning didn't indicate

-You pulled out of a parking spot and didn't see the car approaching from behind

-You both changed lanes at the same time, moving into the middle lane and sideswiping or lovetapping each other. Who indicated first?

Hit from behind:

-Driver behind didn't brake soon enough / didn't leave enough distance between car in front

-Driver behind got hit by car behind launching them into car in front (you should see the law suits that come from these)

-Car in front didn't have working brakelights

-Car in front intentionally slammed on brakes to scare tailgating driver

-Car in front reversed into car behind

-Car behind was performing a U turn at a median strip and plowed into a car reversing down the side of the street that he/she was turning into

These are quite common but even if you want to call them unusual scenarios I will tell you that it is usually an unusual scenario that warrants the accident in the first place - a change to the norm makes people f*** up during autonomous processes such as driving. Do tell me to go on with some more scenarios, but I know you hate my novels so perhaps my last post in response to you / this topic. Not that you were listening anyway.

Wow, didn't logged on till now and just realised it has turned into some fiery discussion...

I've been driving my skyline everyday over the past 6 years, both R33 turbo (in RED) and my current V with big rims.

Not being stopped once for no reason, the only times got pulled over a couple of time was was due to own fault.

my fair share of driving daily over these years I've noticed a wide spread of dickheads and tools on the road, consisting of:

- the usual falcodores

- magnas

- camrys

- 4WD (black ford & red shitbox pajero)

- white toyota corolla

- yellow S15

- blue V35

- bmw 3xx

they're just everywhere no matter what car they drive

PEACE! to all you brothers and sisters EXCEPT...

1. dudes with post-alcohol aggression

2. girls at premensis time

3. tools in commowhores

4. short mums in 4WDs

5. those with post-operative depression

6. anyone prone to road rage

7. hoons that don't deserve skylines

8. plods that seek out to defect skylines

9. dills on drugs 'n drive

10. ricers

11. grey haireds with impaired vision

12. car thieves

May the judges :) you from even owning a scooter > become a pedestrian ! :)

whilst true, unsuccessful troll is unsuccessful.

birds you just like to deliver tl;dr rants, tbqh you deserve the ribbing you get for having the POS stock wheels on LOL.

Yes obvious troll is obvious, just as unsuccessful troll is unsuccessful.

I see your troll and raise you another troll. What did you ditch the stock rims for RB20 fanboi? 13 inch wheels with 165/25/R13 so your car could actually move off the line?

probably not, like how we missed out on the CA18 R32 (dammit!)

Damn you could have had even less torque than you have now. Imagine how much fun you'd have f***ing around with that real drivers car that needs to be driven instead of sitting in 4th gear all the time.

I'd drive it to the LIMIT like all small motors are meant to be! if only it were legal to retrofit an a12 motor in aaaaah.

got your powerglide in yet? they are quite suited to the way R33 owners drive :)

just FYI birds, all cool dudes drive around on 4 space savers, shit is SO hellaflush

tbqh your car would also look better with R32 stockies lol

I dont really find there to be to much of a negative stereotype with skylines, the only old person I know who has even mentioned it is my mates dad who is like 1 rank below being the state police commissioner. Most of my grandparents/uncles/aunts and parents friends responses to my car are along the lines of: "thats actually a nice looking suzuki coupe (the "S" on the bonnet :devil: ) you have there son, I didn't know they made sports cars.. which model is this?"

    • Yep, that was one of the things we learned fast in the past with our MX5. When you drive with the top down, you are effectively standing out in the sun, 100% of the time, and not getting in any shade (because roads aren't shaded generally!). Just like standing out in the middle of a field on a sunny 27C day is a bit of a bad plan, so is sitting in a MX5 without sun protection.
    • I also just ordered some Frankenstein bolts and side mounts to fit a hard top Just in case I do find one, basically so it doesn't need to be fixed to the car with only the front latch.......and then gaffa tape to keep it in place for the RTN journey from wherever I get it
    • If your temps are fine now, you probably won't have any issues with where your vents are as they don't look right up at the windscreens high pressure area, so any differences when giving it the beans for extended happy laps would be minimal, but, they should vent heaps when stuck in traffic  Much like how that reverse cowl on my SS let "visible" heat out when stationary, but, because it was basically at the windscreen my coolant temps on the Hwy actually raised because air was being fed into it at speed (110kph), to only come back down to around 90° when I got off the Hwy And your 100% correct about the NC currently not needing vents, but, if I was to add a turbo, and a oil cooler and intercooler in front of the condenserand radiator, and then take it to the track???? It is apparently a recommend requirement if I don't want to worry about coolant or oil temp issues, but, any of the above are possible scenarios, over time As it sits now, with the triple pass radiator and stock air conditioning system, I have absolutely no issues with either temps or air conditioning efficiency, I've been basically daily driving thie car for the last month, both on the Hwy, and peak hour, bumper to bumper traffic, but, that's pretty much expected from basically a standard engine  Talking about no issues daily driving, it was 39° the other day and I was sitting in bumper to bumper traffic on the M5 and then M7, with the top down, and with the air conditioning blowing nice cold air on my feet, balls, and face, well, there was one issue, my head and arms got pretty sun burnt Note to self: leave a hat and sunscreen in the car for such days 🤣
    • I would agree, unless you need something specific to the HV motor/battery side repaired or investigated, any mechanic will be able to perform normal services, but if you prefer, maybe look for a mechanic who regularly services/repairs Nissans, the VQ engines are pretty common in the Nissan lineup.  Sorry, I can't make any suggestions, I don't live in Vic.
    • Some of them keep working fine. 9 out of 10 of them end up causing an absolute misery bleeding the system and get thrown on the workshop floor in a tantrum and never thought about again because they were never really needed and just added crap to the car that we could have done without. Same-same with HICAS, A-LSD, and various other stupidities that over eager 10x engineers thought we had to have.
