Cant Enjoy A Decent Cruise Anymore


Recommended Posts

I swear to god I cant go out and have a nice decent drive without idiots wanting to race!! Its stupid you get guys in little corollas and little cars wanting to drag you and they get all excited when I dont even try because they think they win. Just shits me thats all. anyone else out there feel the same. The thing is my Skyline is like probably the only stock GTS-T R33 out there probs where im going wrong but I like keeping my car original not to many mods but im thinking of doing some simple mods to get some extra power atleast an exhaust so people see my car isnt so bone stock probs why they try to race me to begin with. I just thought i would share my annoyance and see what everyone else thinks

Once I was driving along when a lancer pulled up beside me at the lights. I wasn't even putting my car on half throttle and the dude thought I was trying to drag him. What a buttwipe. :D

I was just cruising along peacefully while he was full revving out his engine trying to keep up. Loser. :lol:

gay thing is... If a cop was behind us he probably would've thought we WERE racing,and probably would've pulled me over instead!

there was some loser yesterday, what makes it even sadder is that he was showing off the f**k of it since i was in a 4wd :| A total riced up integra. Sitting at the lights, behind like 4 cars, hitting the rev limiter... sounding like a f*kked up blender. Wish i was in the skyline to show him how a real roar sounds like.

I hate when this happens, its like everyone has something to prove, so they can brag to their mates. gotta love the ones that come up behind you (while cruising along) & get the huge run up and blitz past as if they just owned you

hehe stupid lancers!

other night i was tailgated by a stock brand new lancer for a good 5 minutes, before i gave in and used the brakes :cheers:

he shat himself and backed off, soon after he overtook going hard , only to be nearly taken out by a taxi pulling out, then having to stop at the next lights, which i pulled up to 10 seconds after him :D

mmm must say this is true... im still on my L's which makes it even sadder when people try and drag off an L plater....

but majority of the time i hvae excels, lancers, mirages, you name it .. try and line me up ... i just think to myself that unless they have some crazy sleeper engine job under the bonet.. they have no chance.. so i smile to myself and then take off at aprox 1200 revs with 2k changers.... while thier tin'y little 4 banger screams its way past me lol

This stuff happens because they admire your car and want to see you show it off. I know I try to encourage a drag when I'm in my dad's commonwhore because I actually wanna see that car rip me!

I'm not too sure if those ricer lancers or excels think they stand a chance but I know for sure there must be others like me who enjoy watching a nice import (or any car for that matter) just fly past them. ^_^

Although I can see how you get annoyed, when I drive my Sil I prefer not to do stupid things either but sometimes people try and drag you. :cheers:

This happens to me too, but only seems to be in the evenings. I usually dont bother its not worth the fines and demerits.

I got a big scare when a stock looking magna pulled up against me, revved the engine and egged me on. I only beat him by half a car length because I didnt bother to launch. Turns out it was a VRX lol.

Yeh I dont mind the odd one or two but when it gets to the point when every single traffic lights some guy wants to drag is just nuts. And the whole admiring thing yeh it can be true in some aspects but some guys it there little 4 bangers actually think they can kick your ass and want to drag you for a challenge. like someone else says i dont drag. not into it to lose my licence i just love driving my skyline and giving it hard for my own pleasure not someone elses.

I think your driving around the wrong areas.

I get exactly the same thing if I go anywhere near town or its the adjoining roads, especially at dusk or night.

Here in SA Anzac highway is well know as being a hoon drag strip as it's a multilane road with many traffic lights.

Head for the hills or country roads. :cheers:

Ha Ha yes unfortunately its part of owning an import.

Its always amusing when at a shopping centre or similar in my daily I dont hear revving engines or burnouts. But if Im there in the skyline every commordore, lancer etc will circle me a few times like sharks so I notice them and then when leaving the complex let it rip just to show me " I go fast too" LOL.

I hate it when you rip them to the speed limit then the fly past you well over the speed limit...about 10 seconds later :lol: Then they think they owned you! I had a excel dude going crazy the other day, passed me at about 110 in a 60 zone then got caught at the lights leading into a 100 zone. I lined up behind him light goes green, I go out around him smashing him to 100 and then keep it at 100..much later he flys past with a triumphant look on his face..total looser I was thinking dude I was behind you then passed you then smashed you by 100 meters or more to 100 yet some how you feel satisfied. Thats when I learned that it doesnt matter what you do they will find some way of thinking that they won so ow I dont even bother.

    • to have this type of adjustment possible with a curve as I wish, what budget (engine) should be planned?  
    • People still have Skylines? I thought they're non-existent now. 
    • Harness update time have had great fun and learnt so much already so far with this project. I started off making both the ignition and injector sub harnesses in the hope any mistakes i made here aren't as hard to undo and learn from as the main harness.  A cool comparison of the old harness using presumably TXL wire and the new which is using Tezel. Also opted to use DTM plugs to keep the whole setup as neat and tidy as possible and tucked the wiring under the coil bracket to try and keep it all from sticking out too much. Although the injector harness, I'm not overly happy with as I'm still using the rubber boots that are supplied with the type of plugs it just looks ugly and sticks out like a sore thumb with the white identifiers so a slight redesign may be done.   Then it was main harness time and most importantly trying to route it nice and away from the heat it will use the OEM heater hose routing which is no longer present to keep the harness up high and secure. it's amazing how much smaller this harness is able to be compared to the old one. plugged everything into the emtron and with the help of the tuner again attempted to start it up and instantly fired up and running smoothly on all 6 which was a big shock to myself. So still some routing and adjusting to be done for the final fit up and installing a knock sensor harness plug which is in the post all has gone surprisingly well.     The old harness for shits and giggles.
    • They do that at random every now and then, with almost no detectable cause. Mine has done it a couple of times (over 25 years!!). Never worked out why.
    • I don't post on here and have been lurking for some time now. Many of the topics have helped me out more times than i can count. I was racing yesterday (11/9) and blew a front right CV shaft. I have spares so I popped a new one in. A thread i read previously said to check the engine mounts if you blow a front CV. Upon inspection, the front right mount was completely separated from the upper plate. This discovery saved me time and money, because i would have blown another CV if i went back out. Just wanted to thank you guys and wish everyone luck with with their builds. (Now if we could only come up with a solution for my power steering belt flying off after hitting the rev limiter, lol)
