People Who Give Us A Bad Name


Recommended Posts

earlier today i was at the lights on magil rd turning right onto payneham rd when a maroon r33 came around the corner. As it saw me it hit the gas and ran straight up the backside of a stationary commodore that was in the right lane to turn right. I couldnt see how much damage was down but once both drivers got out of their respective cars the owner of the commodore looked very pissed off and rightly so. Now if i told you that i had never tried to 'show off' in my car, especially to a fellow skyline driver i would be lying however this is just plain stupidity and gives us all a bad name, especially in this case seeing the traffic was very congested due to the norwood food and wine festival only a few hundred metres away. If the owner of the skyline reads this im not trying to have a go at you mate, this could have well happened to anyone and we all have lapses in concentration from time to time but i think with a little bit of common sense incidents like this can be avoided. Anyways thats my story :P

Yeah i have seen some people do some stupid stuff had a guy in a 32GTS(-t?) follow me yesterday he seemed to be a bit carless going around a few of the corners and round abouts near the woodcroft college area.

I spose hes gonna need a good panel beater...... YEp its wankas like that, that make the revenue raisers hate us even more....

wasnt me... but if that person wants to offload any maroon bodykit items from the crashed line (ie rear bumper and after some 400R side skerts) id be willing to take them off their hands.

"One less ugly coloured skyline off the road =P"

Ugly colour -- what the -- its closer to red than most other colours.. so that means it goes faster!!!

Why is there so much aggression between fellow skyliners, ive read some posts that are less than friendly. Were all ment to be enthusiests, just some people have different oppinions.

My opinion is that i was not a very sensible driver as a youngster but since i have grown and matured so has my driving. Now when a fellow driver tries to drag me from the lights i just ignore and watch them blow away knowing that more often than not there one corner away from being caught. In saying that not all older people are mature, i had some idiot the other day the pulled a handbrakie right infront of me on a crowded road and took of in the other direction only to pull over about 300m up the road. The stupid thing about it though was that he was not alone, there were to girls with him so he is not only endangering his own life but others aswell. Some people really need to learn the hard way, and unlucky for this driver he did perhaps he will thinik about it before he tries it again.

well said hr32.

actions talk, bullshit walks.

thats one thing that f**ks me off on this site. People preach about driving sensible(which is the good thing to do). Im sure they do some dumb shit through the week and refrain from posting it on this site dont they? They just fill in time pretending to be noble and responsible and write someone else off!

get a life idiots!

Mate i do some dumb shit yeh......BUT i don't go and post it up on here, so yeh i do refrain for posting it up here because i don't think everyone needs to know the stupid shite i do!

If you have been written off by someone for something stupid that you have done/posted, then it's probably your own fault, most people on here just wanna keep it sensible so others that look on here can't give US or ME or YOU or any other import/worked car a BADDER name than we already have!

good call

They make for some great Beery Pub stories, but!

Fact is this - Every driver out there on the road is unsafe at some point in time whilst driving and 'in control' of their vehicle,

    • Stock ECU (or more accurately stock tune) absolutely refuses to go over 10psi and behaves like you have seen. The Nistune is the same if it is the stock tune. If the Nistune chip has been tuned, the resulting tune could be literally anything for any combination of parts. The Nistune just makes the stock ECU Tunable.
    • So stock ECU does not like anything above 10 psi?  That Nistune one is just for "try" if it will be any different, I know it need to be tune for that. I know but YOU may know about these problem but i/we dont. They few little Skylines here let alone people who know anything about tham so that is why iam asking here  
    • So now we have a radiator with no attachments whatsoever. It lifts up with a particularly tight spot between the drivers side air box mount and the lower radiator outlet, but if you've got this far you will sort that too. This is the lower mounts with the rad out so you can see where the rubber bushes go, it is a straight shot upwards Done! Assembly is the reverse of disassembly, with blood less likely to be shed.
    • Right, onto the second last trick. The Air Con condenser is mounted to the front of the radiator and stays in the car when the radiator is removed. There are 2x 10mm headed self tappers holding the top of the condenser to the radiator, remove those The bottom of the condenser is attached to the radiator with clips. You need to lift the condenser out of those clips and clear (up, then forward). f**ked if  could work out how to do that last bit with the front bumper on. I hope you can, and you share the trick.  Bumper removal probably deserves its own thread one day once I've recovered the will to live, but basically you need to remove the wheels, front inner guard liners (clips and 10mm headed bolts), the self tapper between the guard and the bumper at the rearmost point of the bumper (same as an R32 that bit), any remaining clips at the top/front of the grill, an absolute bastard design with a plate that holds the top of the bumper above the headlight each side (only 1 bolt which is tricky to get to, but the plate catches 2 places on the bumper and must be removed....carefully!) and push clips between the bumper and guard under the headlight. If you've done all that you will be faced with wiring for the fog lights on both sides and in ADM Q50 RS at least, 4 nasty tight plugs on the driver's side for the ADAS stuff. So, the clips at the bottom look like this on drivers side (looking from the front) And on the passenger side (also from the front), you can see this one is already out Clearance on both of these are super tight; the condenser needs to move up but the upper rad support mount prevents that, and the radiator can't move down far because it is (rubber) mounted. Once you achieve the impossible and drop the condenser off those mounts so it does not stop the rad moving, you are good to go
    • OK, next the shroud needs to come off and there are a couple of tricks. Firstly, there is a loom from near the passenger side headlight to the fans, coolant temp sensor etc and there is no plug to undo.  In my case I was OK to leave the shroud on top of the engine so I just undid the passenger side fan plug and about 10 of the clips which gave enough free wire to put it aside. The fan plugs were super tight, the trick I used was a small falt screwdriver to push down on the release tab, then a larger flat screwdriver to lever the plug out of the fan unit....be careful with how much force you apply! If you need to remove the shroud altogether for some reason you will have to deal with all the plugs (tight) and clips (brittle)....good luck. I removed all of the clips and replaced them with cable ties that I will just cut next time. Also, in the Red Sport / 400R at least, the intake heat exchanger reservoir hose is bolted to the shroud in 2 places with 10mm headed bolts; so remove them (the hose stays in the car; no need to undo it at the t fittings down at the radiator lower mount. Once you've dealt with the HX hose and the wiring loom, there are 3x 10mm headed self tappers holding the top of the shroud to the radiator; remove those.   The shroud then lifts out of the bottom mounts where it sits on the radiator, up and onto the engine out of the way.
