Some of you may know I have the R up for sale and recently I stuck an FS sticker on the rear windscreen.

Ever since doing that I have had a lot of "performance" cars try and run me... not that I bite :( Notably an RX8, EVO7, Subbi Liberty, New WRX and a Corolla I think. I just like roundabouts as I power through them and the morons then speed passed me like some f*kn grinning hero who has to prove himself :)

Must be the season for try hard wannabe's or they are just trying to get my number down, who knows

:);)

I don't understand it really, I even have time to indicate out of the roundabouts. The cars in question are no match for a GTR, the drivers are dreaming.

If I can pass this car on with the dignity I retain as a member of this vibrant community then I have done myself proud as a Skyline owner.

Can I get a Ahem, heh, I think so

:P

its just the dicks up ur way, i was up that way friday arvo and was continuely harrassed by ppl to race,

some hero in a gold v6 auto gas powered VL with sick rims tried to get me to have a go for ages and some clown in a stock last model WRX also raced up behind me then next to me, this is really the first time i have experianced ppl trying to race me for a very long time, i aint got no GTR but my car would still easily smoke both these, luckily i have matured alittle over the last couple of years, other wise it would have been game on.

some times its just not worht the petrol.

aww man, serious convo, I was troll hunting :banana:

Oh well, SV6 powwweeeeeeeeeeeeeeeerrrr

I need to race now, all antsy after the F1, I am so awesome it hurts :P

Ve sv6 methanol drinking twin turbo, on NOS! will destroy you all!

nah seriously its my drive car for work and its slow, and the only thing it has going for it is the fact it has better aerodynamics due to the hail storm.. BUT i reckon id still chop everyone in this thread in it! i know GTR's and their all slow and cant handle and stuff..

Yeh it's Funny and Entertaining to see other People drag in u a Skyline... I just let them go if they try to..

I kinda think about the other Drivers on the Road.. I had New Ford Turbo 6.. Sped up n on my ass coming on the the freeway..

i didn't do anything i just moved to the other lane n continued as normal :-) but when i'm on the Track on a Track Day it's a different Story :D

haha look forward to it.. surely your referring to my sv6 work vehicle haha:)

na theres 50 billion identical ones of them around, impossible to tell who it is. meant if i see your gtr

the best is when your in a really slow car and you try race faster cars, people usually get really serious about it, its hilarious

hahah yeah im hearin ya.. if im drivin a shitter (sv6 for example) i love given it a rev at the lights to "G" some hero next to me up, and then watch him drop it at the lights and chuckle to myself as i cruise slower than normal :)

lol

me and a mate were on our way to barbagello drifts just today. this legitimate bogan looking lunatic probably in his 40's, in a stock vt v6 ute sped up beside us and said the following

"HEY MAN I GOT ONE OF THOSE.. 720 BRAKE HORSE POWER..." (was in an r33 gts-t)

"oh yeah? you going to the drifts?"

"NAH MATE...IIH#$UOGHOFU&*($... THIS IS MY RALLY CAR"

gives us a wave and then floors it, gets ahead of us probably at around 70-80kmh. before i know it his car is sideways, fishtailing about 4-5 times, manages to regain control and speeds off.

far out couldnt stop laughing, was one of the funniest encounters ive had.

    • Meh, At 60 years old, I have been doing dumb stuff for much longer than you mate, I am the true King And unfortunately I cannot be a maroon, as I am not brownish red As for not getting ITB's, the plenum intake will apparently show typical gains across the board and increase induction noise a bit, but, have all over less dort than ITB's Cost difference for the extra ITB dorts was significant though, the total parts for the plenum set up is "around" $2kAUD plus shipping, the ITB's were $4kAUD plus shipping, I was contemplating really hard about paying the extra $2k for all of the dorts, but weirdly, some form of common sense, from listening to the platform experts prevailed  As for the NA mod hate by some, I've had a few boosted cars, with all their inherent issues, I'm now looking at simplicity and legalities for a street car, maybe I'm just getting old, and I'm quite happy to spend some of the kids inheritance, 5kw at a time 🤣 And think of all the money I'll be saving on consumables that something with boost needs, like engines, gearboxes, diffs, clutches,  tilt trays... etc. etc. etc. 🤪
    • Haha.  I wouldn't say I am either but I've definitely been around it plenty.  I'm guessing you know the dial in is basically to make a handicap to level the playing field between racers.  The car with the slower dial in goes first and in theory if they run their dial in time and the faster car also does then they cross the finish time if they also have exactly the same reaction time - if you go faster than the dial in them you lose, but if you are too slow there's a good chance the other person will get to the finish line first. I'm normally supporting other cars but they were all pretty dialled and were egging me on to race as well, here's one of the cars I tune (Starlet) which ran within like 1 hundredth of its dial in through the competition: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=inEBu-d9Gn4&t=69s
    • Where ever the fuel reg gets it reference is what I use to T into for map reference been a very long time so where it goes to plenum/runners I have no idea but never had issues. 
    • What ecu? Same shop every time? Same ambient temperature? If timing is correct then pull plugs and see if lean or rich. Dyno can also read different if they have changed ramp rate or not set tacho/speed properly  
    • I've never done dial in's just straight up, whatever that's called. I'm far from a drag (racing ) expert.
