Tell us the story. We've all heard heaps about Skylines owning heaps of other hi-perf cars but has anyone been owned at the lights by something totally unexpected or anything else you thought you could take? Don't want to start a depressing thread or anything just curious! :burnout:

Just about everything "use to" smoke me @ the lights! Until I got my RE540S. I use to just accept the fact that I was going to have to play catch up once I got traction (on 255 Falken ZE502 Ziex).

The odd LS1 VX/VT SS sticks out above all else, always caught them by 2nd or 3rd though. Since the new rubber I've not seen tail lights :rolleyes: Yet!

I've got one embarasing story.

A VN commie pulls up next to me and give it the rev rev. I though "not again......"

Lights go green we both tramp it and I just spin... and spin... and spin, all through first and second. Wasn't until third that I got traction but by that time we were doing 80 and the drag had finished........... We kept neck to neck all the way to 80 !!!

The next week I got rid of my $93 rear tyres and put on a set of 901's at $240 each....

Much better now !!!

But I can just see what the bloke is telling all his friends "I kept up with a modded R33, their not so good after all" :rolleyes::D:D

hehehehehehe

fatz u r a cunny funt

I was almost smoked by a VN, and an EB falcon!!!!

I was day dreaming until last minute when I realised these pricks were revving to drag me.... then the lights went green and I bogged down :rolleyes:

By the time I caught up, I was embarassed! So I had to give them another run at the next lights just to prove a point!!!!

I once got smoked in my R31 by an odd looking datsun 200B. Turns out this guy had the front end extended with a 351 in it!!!!! Now that's very unlikely!!!

Depends, can be hard sometimes balancing taking off slow enough as to not simply sit their smoking, and not stalling the ****ing thing with an in/out clutch!

But if u get a good launch...its all over for the other guy.

We got munched.. and I mean munched.. We didn't even take off we were soo amazed.. We pulled up beside a very well recognised EVO3 around these parts... (Not purple one) and were going to give it a run when we saw all the gauges on his dash going nuts.. then the lights turned green and where we were looking there was no car.. He was like 100m's ahead.. It was ****en fast!!

I love drags from the set of lights... nothing beats it. I probably lost a few but I only remember beating people... not loosing.

Yeah my mate in his MKIV supra chops me all the time :D and the odd S14/S15.

Oh and this one time i lined up a pac peformance RX3(roll cage and all), i knew i was in trouble when he told his mate on the phone "bro i'll call ya back i'm busy" throws the phone down and pulls out the hand controller changes a few settings, the light goes green the skyline got CHOPPED !!!!.

Yeah this one time, i pulled up at a set of lights and this really loud combi pulled up next to me (Not healthy sounding at all.

lights turned green and i watched in amasement as the front wheels came a good foot of the ground and this thing took. I was left stopped at the lights with my jaw dropped O.M.G

:Owned:

Never yet.

Only by pensioners in white Camrys with venetian blinds and housewives in BMW 316 compacts and Telstra technicians in fully loaded Hiaces... but then who gives a phuqq about things like that.

If I'm over 3,000rpm, it's all over red rover...

T.

Yes I have never raced red900ss from the lights. I think his foot never slipped off the clutch and 3 secs later I realised that he needed help and I (thought i) had to catch up to him, but didn't.....

B-man was owned that night - never again tho......

I was sitting at a set of lights at Arana Hills (Brisbane) and a ford metor with a bloke about 50 years old reved it and i smiled and just took of as normal as i though he was joking.... Once we were both half way accross the intersection the metor lit up the front wheels with the sound of a jet engine and then a large back fire and a snap to second and then another jet engine noise and i was in that much shock i didnt even relise i still had my hand brake on.....

Anyway i meet this bloke about 5 weeks later when i was doing some work at a local shop and its got a cordia motor and running gear and a fully polished turbo on the front... I said what kind is that and he said i found it (?????) the cordia motor has been re-built and the turbo is un known... (All this in a metor)

This bloke works for a wreaker and he picked it up out of a 90's model corolla..... (Wierd)

But thats the most suprising CHOMPING i have had.....

This little metor had more rust than paint so i guess that means it was lightened... LOL

The only time i have ever raced like full on seriously was a motor bike that was about 5 years old. I had a full car load and it was about the 3rd week i had my car and 4 sets of lights in a row we took each other on (level up until about mid-2nd where i kept going hard and he literally stood still). He was trying so hard in the end that he musta let the clutch out too quickly and the hole front end bunny hopped and he launched off the seat and nearly over the handle bars. The next set of lights he congradulated me on a smooth car and turned off a side street.

    • Not R7R. Meant to type R&R, obviously enough.
    • Bugger "making it look stock". I put one conventional internally fused Hella relay behind each globe. I just pulled the plugs off the back of the globes and built new loom segments with male and female plug parts to match up to the original loom and the globe, and used the original power wires to each globe coming from the switch through the original loom plug to trigger the relays. Ran a big fat (also separately fused) power wire across the front of the car to feed all the relays. It's as ugly as f**k, but it is wedged down between the headlight and battery on the RHS and the airbox and headlight on the LHS, and no-one ever looks in my engine bay, and on the odd occasion that they do I simply give no f**ks for what they think. Fully reversible - not that you'd ever want to. For f**k's sake. It's a Skyline. They made million of the bloody things. We've been crashing them into roadside furniture for 30 years now. There is a negative side effect to putting relays on the headlights. The coil current is too little to properly clean the contacts in the switches and they get blacked up and you have to open them up every couple of years and clean them manually. I have 25 years of experience on this point.
    • I was poking through the R34 wiring diagrams vs R33 and noticed that the R34 has proper headlight relays while the R33 is like the R32 and sends full headlight power through the headlight switch. I'm not afraid of wiring but I really would like to do this in a way that looks OEM (clipping into open positions on the OEM relay box) and also unlike the factory wiring which interlocks the high beam and low beam on the halogen series 1 GTR headlights I want to make it such that turning on the high beams keeps the low beams on as well. Any advice on how to locate the specific connectors + crimp terminals + relays I need? I was thinking one NO relay for low beams and another for combined high + low running off the factory high beam headlight connector. I don't really want to splice into a crusty old probably discontinued factory harness so fully reversible is my goal here.
    • Pretty sure they run the same engine as the Q50 hybrid which specifies 95 RON.  I ran 98 in mine for a while, but it made no difference in performance or economy, so I have been using 95 for the last few years.  I have never hit 6.0L/100km, but have returned mid to high 6 on the highway.  Being a hybrid, fuel economy is a lot more dependant on how you drive it.  At 110km/h, mine never goes into EV mode on the highway, so returns closer to 7.5L/100. urban driving can return low 8s if you are careful or over 10 if you are a bit more enthusiastic on the throttle.
    • About a quarter of what you want to do. It's only R7R, not R&dismantle&replaceparts&reassemble&R. ? It is stock. I already told you, you will NOT have broken those. It's f**king 4th gear for Christ's sake. You just chipped the teeth off.
