Do you still have the big wing on it? I've only ever had one person try to drag me, and that was a VN last week!! Chop was dished of course. A couple have tried to run me on the freeway....chop dished. Then I remain at the limit, look over as they pass & they are looking straight ahead. :worship:

All I suggest is don't bite. :spank: Drags aren't for the street.

nah mate removed the T wing hahaha u know i figured by the time i mean ahah i know its illegal but yea umm....this honda wants to bOp me aye and i was thinking of standing it up hahah and not even goin to appear lol i mean i only drive my GTS to get around....danno what he does with his family car hahah but he seems to really want to give me some chopping....but yea all i heard was his one was a vtech and has a air filter...and only what i have is just air filter and muffler hahah i wreckon it'd be a close run or something if it does happen?

but i danno hahah maybe hes been watching tooooo much fast and furious hahah i like drift bible aye but its so hard to get the stuff right in my car when its my turn lol

Maybe because you drive a skyline and most people assume you would want to race since the image a line gives off nowdays (damn politicians). Yeah drags are for the strips but we'll all be lying if we say we dont give another car a go at the lights once in a while huh (not that I encourage street racing now kids). Dont underestimate a honda (or any other marks) cause when the VTEC kicks in YOOO, you'll be shock at the outcome haha. My stock lude can take out a stock 33gts with minor mods and its a tip haha but not by alot.

Due to the hunger for power and a more aggrasive look Im upgrading to a 34 but still will be keepin the lude for time being. Also be prepare to get more hoons trying to drag you after FF3 comes out that will definately pump them up haha.

Well vtec is not all that the american boys make them sound like if its a bloody T88 turbo or something. Maybe its because they havent driven a line before since they cant import them in the states =). As for FF3 the movies gonna suck but we're all gonna go see it anyways when it comes out ahha.

Nice to see you removed the wing, this is often the cause for people wanting to race skylines. Although you may lose around 5hp - try also removing any visable asian style air fresheners. I find that having one of these makes people want to race me ALL the time.

i find the best way to respond to any retard in some slow bucket of crap is to do some of the following

. drive dead on the speed limit and not bother (boring)

or

. chop them, but on and off the throttle so you play with them like a cat and mouse, usually waving and or blowing kisses or similar. i did that once and when i pulled up at the lights the dude thought hed be funny and tell me my car broken cos it was stuttering. when i told him what i was really doing, he got emo and closed his window. god its too easy sometimes.

another tip wait to a grap in traffic, then block them in. not only does it save you racing, it also makes them angry. so you win times 2!

these days i just let them go past me, its not worth my car and license to make some moron look like a... moron. end of the day i know a lancer /accent/ excel/ vn v6/ magna etc is not going to be worth my expensive bp 98.

There was this chick in driving along Morley last night thinking she was a rally driver. She tried to take on a soarer and then pulled up next to me revving her engine. When I laughed she stuck her finger up at me and cut me off and was playing with traffic all the way to her street.

i had some guy in a soarer trying to instigate a drag (down here in melbourne). Lights turned green, he did a bit of a wheel spin, and took off. I just carried on about my business as per usual. Dont see the point in risking it. In fact, the worst i have done is testing out the turbo on the freeway entry ramp (which in itself was done when there were no other cars near me).

    • Sorry, just assumed that talk of coloured pads meant EBC red/green/yellow/shit stuff. I don't know the DBA pads, but it's a reasonable bet that they will be OK. DBA make good stuff generally. Those 4000 series rotors I linked to are very good. I may well replace the RDA rotors I have with those when required.
    • The average previous owner for these cars were basically S-chassis owners in the US. Teenagers or teenager-adjacent. I often tell people that neglect is easier to fix than something that was actively "repaired" by previous owners.
    • Update 3: Hi all It's been a while. Quite a lot of things happened in the meantime, among other things the car is (almost) back together and ready to be started again. Things that I fixed or changed: Full turbo removal, fitting back the OEM turbo oil hardlines. Had to do quite a bit of research and parts shopping to get every last piece that I need and make it work with the GT2860 turbos, but it does work and is not hard to do. Proves that the previous owner(s) just did not want to. While I was there I set the preload for the wastegates to 0,9bar to hopefully make it easier for the tuner to hit the 370hp I need for the legal inspections that will follow later on. Boost can always go up if necessary. Fitted a AN10 line from the catch can to the intake hose to make the catchcan and hopefully the cam covers a slight vacuum to have less restrictive oil returns from the head and not have mud build up as harshly in the lines and catch can. Removed the entire front interior just shy of the dashboard itself to clean up some of the absolutely horrendous wiring, (hopefully) fix the bumpy tacho and put in LED bulbs while I was there. Also put in bulbs where there was none before, like the airbag one. I also used that chance to remove the LED rpm gauge on the steering column, which was also wired in absolute horror show fashion. Moved the 4in1 Prosport gauge from sitting in front of the OEM oil pressure gauge to the center console vents, I used a 3D printed vent piece to hold that gauge there. The HKB steering wheel boss was likely on incorrectly as I sometimes noticed the indicator reset being uneven for left vs. right. In the meantime also installed an airbag delete resistor, as one should. Installed Cube Speed premium short shifter. Feels pretty nice, hope it'll work great too when I actually get to drive. Also put on a fancy Dragon Ball shift knob, cause why not. My buddy was kind enough to weld the rust hole in the back, it was basically rusted through in the lowermost corner of the passenger side trunk area where the wheel arch, trunk panel and rear quarter all meet. Obviously there is still a lot of crustiness in various areas but as long as it's not rusted out I'll just treat and isolate the corrosion and pretend it's not there. Also had to put down a new ground wire for the rear subframe as the original one was BARELY there. Probably a bit controversial depending on who you ask about this... but I ended up just covering the crack in the side of the engine block, the one above the oil feed, with JB Weld. I used a generous amount and roughed up the whole area with a Dremel before, so I hope this will hold the coolant where it should be for the foreseeable future. Did a cam cover gasket job as the half moons were a bit leaky, and there too one could see the people who worked on this car before me were absolute tools. The same half moons were probably used like 3 times without even cleaning the old RTV off. Dremeled out the inside of the flange where the turbine housing mates onto the exhaust manifolds so the diameter matches, as the OEM exhaust manifolds are even narrower than the turbine housings as we all know. Even if this doesn't do much, I had them out anyways, so can't harm. Ideally one would port-match both the turbo and the manifold to the gasket size but I really didn't feel up to disassembling the turbine housings. Wrapped turbo outlet dumps in heat wrap band. Will do the frontpipe again as well as now the oil leak which promted me to tear apart half the engine in the first place is hopefully fixed. Fitted an ATI super damper to get rid of the worn old harmonic balancer. Surely one of the easiest and most worth to do mods. But torquing that ARP bolt to spec was a bitch without being able to lock the flywheel. Did some minor adjustments in the ECU tables to change some things I didn't like, like the launch control that was ALWAYS active. Treated rusty spots and surface corrosion on places I could get to and on many spots under the car, not pretty or ideal but good enough for now. Removed the N1 rear spats and the carbon surrounding for the tailpipe to put them back on with new adhesive as the old one was lifting in many spots, not pretty. Took out the passenger rear lamp housing... what do you know. Amateur work screwed me again here as they were glued in hard and removing it took a lot of force, so I broke one of the housing bolts off. And when removing the adhesive from the chassis the paint came right off too. Thankfully all the damaged area won't be visible later, but whoever did the very limited bodywork on this car needs to have their limbs chopped off piece by piece.   Quite a list if I do say so myself, but a lot of time was spent just discovering new shit that is wrong with the car and finding a solution or parts to fix it. My last problem that I now have the headache of dealing with is that the exhaust studs on the turbo outlets are M10x1.25 threaded, but the previous owner already put on regular M10 nuts so the threads are... weird. I only found this out the hard way. So now I will just try if I can in any way fit the front pipe regardless, if not I'll have to redo the studs with the turbos installed. Lesson learned for the future: Redo ALL studs you put your hands on, especially if they are old and the previous owners were inept maniacs. Thanks for reading if you did, will update when the engine runs again. Hope nothing breaks or leaks and I can do a test drive.
    • No those pads are DBA too  but they have colors too. I look at the and imo the green "street" are the best.
