apparently i wasnt showing off or anything, i was just going about normally, when you guys just sped past me and slowed down again.. i was just keeping a mate in sight.. as said earlier i didnt know about the roads. Even when left lane ended i gave signal to merge into right lane but as soon as i started moving in i saw the skyline started to gain speeds again... i didnt mean to do anything. Sorry about that though...i was also not allowed to speed as i was with my wife. i had no issues with any other members.

I lost sight of my mate right after leaving the carpark, where a skyline stopped, i stopped bit ahead and saw a white r34 stopped by to help so i continued. I guess we just a little misunderstanding.... cheers

No excuse for undertaking at a ridiculous speed after a lane ends. that's dangerous and stupid. It's illegal to undertake at all. the op said follow road rules.

Not weighing into the above conversation at all, but actually it is legal to undertake give there are marked lanes, and it is considered safe to do so.

^^^ This is what I saw...

While the showboating by the 2 skylines wasn't excessive what really annoyed me (being stuck behind them) was they'd showboat on the overtaking lanes, driving like the type of dick's they're complaining about, but then when it came to a slight bend (remember this is in the first half) it was all brake lights to well below speed limit... I'm talking bends with no recommended speed reduction signs...

After that I was reallyglad to be in the first group that left the truck stop, these guys knew how to drive!

Overall a fantastic cruise.

It's also dangerous and stupid to take people's account of things as truth.

He said he went into emergency lane after lane ended.

Very well, but this isn't what I'm posting about. Let's review what you said...

It is clearly not illegal to undertake. It is obviously illegal to undertake where there isn't a lane or where there is unmarked lanes. No one would argue that one, it's just common sense.

Okay both were driving like dickheads

I probably should have said that, I thought the three of them were friends the way they were continuously overtaking each other.

But I hate above all else when people living in glass houses throw stones.

He said the the lane was ending so he speed up to try and squeeze in.

Try and do that in front of a cop and see if that's legal.

Obviously you can undertake on highway if someone is in the right lane and going 70km/h other wise everyone would have to stop and go to 70km/h

Let's not get started on the legitimacy or logic of road rules...

For all we know he was just keeping left like he's suppose to, and the guy in the right lane was slowing down due to a slight bend coming up :P relativity's a bitch in these situations.

Dude, take a breath, and actually read.

What I said was that I'm not getting involved in what did/didn't happen. Wasn't there, don't have an opinion.

Do you see the difference in the above posts? That is all I'm trying to convey. You can undertake on the left on marked lanes if safe to do so. End of my point.

      Exhaust silencers/varex exhausts

      By PotatoCake · Posted

      Yeh... literally every time i jump on a forum, see an instagram post or see an engine bay at a car show, i get an idea and add it to my 'to do' list. So what started off as, hey can u just make a couple of intake hard pipes because my dumbass bought the wrong apexi kit, blew out into a 2 week job including braided brake lines & custom bash kit for the front lip haha.  Getting Luke from A4E engineering to make a full custom exhaust with a controllable aes dump valve so i can actually switch between quiet and loud, because right now its just loud all day every day. Then after that go and get the tune redone flex e85 & 98 as i get bugger all milage from e85, makes going for longer drivers difficult

      Car looks clean as. You ended up getting quite a bit done 😂  So what's the plan for the exhaust?

      Rb25det vs Rb25de rods and crank are same?

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      The only Neo rods that were any different to any other RB25 rods were the DET ones, and they were the same as RB26. Here is a Neo DET rod. O5U part number visible. Here is a post in a thread here on SAU with evidence from someone who has done this before. There are photos in the thread of normal RB25 rods.

      Magnetic Drain Plug Snapped in Half

      By joshuaho96 · Posted

      Sure, but why assume that will be the case forever? And why assume you'll be able to do an oil change to swap back to a stock drain bolt before that happens? And does it even matter when I change the oil at fairly short intervals? Life can be funny sometimes and unexpected things can happen. Like breaking a collarbone so you can't do any work on your car for a few months but the oil change is due so you have to take it to somewhere and hope they don't do something stupid like stacking the new drain plug washer on top of the old one.
