People who can't merge properly, can't change lanes properly, can't negotiate roundabouts properly, can't indicate properly, people on the freeway who can't do the speed limit, and people who don't in

+1 for there being zero good parking spots in Perth at all. No matter where you park you always come back to find bird s**t, tree sap, berries/seed things, or to find you were parked near a jealous commodore driver who couldn't resist the frustration of owning a crap car, and runs a key down the side of yours.

Hear hear!! :bomb_ie:

WGMG, is that one friend I'm sure most of us have, that is always bugging you to let them drive your car which is bad enough by itself. But then if like me you're stupid enough to let them, they start torturing it.

Stalling it constantly, one got the clutch pedal stuck in? (never happened to me before or after this), and actually grinding my gears. After getting like halfway round the block, you're like "nup GTFO".

I'm amazed at how bad they were, sure I would've stalled it a few times while getting used to it especially considering the car had a hideous idle hunt when I first got it and stalled by itself.

The downside to owning a Skyline. :closedeyes:

WGMG - the weak as piss tissues they give you at work. Just got an attack of the sneezes, grab 2 tissue to be safe, fold the f**kers in half to be extra safe (dont wanna infect my coworker next to me because he is a body builder who looks like a condom stuffed full of walnuts) and then sneeze into the carefully folded mass, only to blow the whole package to smithereens, and cover my left hand monitor with snot.

So now I have a roid rage filled beefcake glaring daggers at me, a LCD screen covered in snot and spit, and fragments of wet tissue strewn throughout my keyboard.

WGMG is when you're casually walking along and you're about to pass someone because there walking f*king slow then when you're about to overtake the kunts start moving across as well.

wgmg is peple who don't re-read the post they have just finished writing, to check for spelling mistakes.

Im no grammar nazi, Im sure i get my there their and they're mixed up all over the shop, but peOple who obviously don't even bother reading what they've written, shit me.

One of the many driving related things that happens to me every single time im on the freeway is, Im cruising along at 100 with cruise control on and in a 100 kmh speed limited vehicle.

I'm slowly catching the vehicle in front, so lets say they are sitting on 95. Thats fair enough, nothing wrong with that.

I change into the overtaking lane and one of the following things happens.

Now keep in mind, these things happen even when there are streams of cars passing this person,, i can be sitting there for a couple o minutes waiting for a gap so i can get past aswell. not tailgating either,, ive got 50 back-seat drivers sitting behind me.

1) The second my indicator goes on, they speed up, i dont even have to move across, just the indicator is enough to scare them into acceleration.

2) I move out and start to overtake, when the nose of my coach gets up beside their drivers window they crap themselves and tromp it.

3) This one is the most annoying, they let me get almost all the way past them, then they speed up and sit with their front bumper level with my rear bumper. They just sit there and after a while of being stuck out there in the overtaking lane i just have to throw the indicator on and wait for them to wake up.

Its pretty rare to pass someone on the freeway in a coach without one of these things happening.

WGMG - People that take advantage of others. Especially when the person being taken advantage of, is the sort of person who is always happy to help out a mate. These type of people should be treasured as mates, not used or ripped off just because you think you can get away with it.

What really grinds my gears today is wankers posting crap on a thread that has nothing to do with the original question and talking a whole bunch of shit about whatever setup you are working on. Fckrs your mother needs a slap for not raising you right. Also what grinds my gears is people on motorbikes riding down the middle lane to stop in front of my skyline then take off slowly ruining my drag launch practice. +1 Dale too. Grrrrr :ph34r:

      Pops when backing off throttle, rough-ish sound through rev range.

      Keeping in mind that I am currently getting flat 10 L/100km on my RB25DET, which means >>500km/tank. I would test this car for vacuum leaks, check codes and AFM signal with NissDataScan as D says, check plugs, do a compression check while they are out.

      It is hard to be specific half way across the world...but it *seems* like it might have a minor issue. Is the idle stable and does it rev smoothly? I would not expect any pops out of what I am assuming is a standard ECU, standard tune, standard exhaust. You can use Nissan Data Scan to find out exactly what is happening when it runs, the cable/software is reasonably affordable if you are not planning on changing the ECU (which hopefully you are not with an NA skyline) BTW your mileage may not be that far off, these are heavy old tech cars, and being NA might mean you use a heavy foot to keep up with traffic....

      Hey guys! Y'all are the masters so figured I'd check in on a few items here. - My engine sounds ever-so-slightly more raspy than the other NA RB25s I've listened to. It's barely noticeable but definitely a slightly different sound. - When I back off the throttle at high RPM, I will sometimes get a pop out of the exhaust, assuming this can be diagnosed as misfire. Some history on the car: - Had an exhaust leak in auction sheet but was claimed to be fixed by seller (bought from USA importer).  - Car's coil packs and sparks were replaced when it was sold to me, but unsure on what the gap is and whether the coil packs are correct.  - A prior mechanic had misdiagnosed a pilot or throwout bearing sound as LSPI/detonation. Had played with timing a bit, pops/raspy sound of engine just got worse. Got timing reset. - Had failed emissions a few times. First time went in as is, failed. Second time, replaced cat, still failed, running rich as hell. Third time replaced o2 sensor, passed. Car still smells gassy though. - Timing belt and valve cover gasket also replaced.  - Gas mileage is... low. about 350-400K per tank.  Any idea if I'm having any serious issues here or does this all sound like normal old NA RB stuff and I'm fine to drive it with the pops/slightly raspy engine? If it'll help, I can get drop a video of the sound of the engine.
