yeah i reported it straight away but understandably they said there was nothing they could really do because i didnt get a license plate. the officer was actually really nice cos i was shaken up pretty bad after it, he just sat there n had a chat 2 me about footy, school, uni etc and made sure i parked my car where it was visible incase they came back, he even compimented skylines as "great bang for ur, buck aslong as u drive it right and avoid fines". if only more officers were like this............sigh

but yeah, i often get drunk bogans yelling stuff and ratty idiots in their VLs. like another time, i went to park just up from davies bay and some rats in a vl up the road started yelling stuff and then 2 of them started 2 run 2wards me, again i mashed the right foot, and they dissapeared. after those 2 incidents, i now never stop in frankston over night (except at lights etc) and im always councious of who is around, behind and next 2 me.

Maybe its just cause its a silvia, but I have never had any problems like you guys!!! The closest thing was some dude tailgaiting real close for like 5 mins on the way to sydney, but he was doing it to everyone so i didn't really feel special.

I thought i would have copped heaps of crap, especially cause i'm still on my P's in a modded s15. But nothing exept some tradies in a VY SS giving me thumbs down and shaking their heads, quick stab on the loud pedal fixed that. Oh well hopefully a skyline is next, so i can enjoy all the abuse any discerning import driver deserves :)

Speaking of tailgaters - the worst, and the scariest shit i have seen - was on princess hwy near oakleigh. We saw a camry coming real fast, and I shit you not - behind it, a big ass truck (something like a mack) - both were going like 100, where the camry went, the truck went - and if the camry had to break suddenly - im sure the force of the truck would have sent the car into a spin or something, and probably into one of the light poles.....

Soo many idiots on the roads these days...

Sorry rhett, but i'm still not buying it.

If the road was congested, (as you say) there would be no chance that you would have been able to go 150 (unless all the other cars which were caught in the congestion were also doing 150?)

Fact is, the roads are full of dickheads.

If you use the road, you're going to encounter them.

I encountered several of these morons last night.

It was dark, it was very wet and slippery, and i had a child in the car.

I don't for an instant believe that the traffic around me would have behaved any differently if I'd been driving a different make of vehicle.

If you are targeted and terrorised by someone on the road, get their plates and report it, or call police while it's happening.

(Or I suppose you could always post about it on an internet forum?)

As frustrating as it is, you just have to learn to compensate for the fact that regardless of how careful you are, there is always going to be some moron who wants to play games with your life.

It's just unfortunate that people aren't taught this when they get their L's or P's, it's something that you have to figure out for yourself.

It's just part of life.

You have to teach yourself to accept it, get over it, and move on.

Either that, or catch the bus.

I get it heaps... perhaps i'm asking for it with the RCEGRL plates.. when I had the little crappy pulsar people used to just laugh etc.. it was ok.

Now with the 32, I cop everything. Old guys tailgating me, young guys sitting right beside my window yelling out stuff, people trying to race, etc etc.. I've had a few bad situations where they could've made me have a accident etc. And its mainly middle age guys who have caused it.

Then there are the other type of people who just give me a thumbs up or something for driving a nice car..

I havent really coped any abuse, well nothing i can blame the car for anyway...But when john takes my car to work, he gets heaps....tends to be young guys chasing him (thinking hes a girl cause of the plates) He even got told he is a 'really ugly mum, almost looks like a bloke' hehehe. ppl just tend to sit at the lights looking at my plates, then after a while start to giggle and point after they get what it says.....

It had too happen, after almost 6 months loser free, i've been boganed. Sitting at the lights as i went through ringwood, this beanie wearing d*ckhead in a poorly repainted VR, complete with in-cabin neons, intentionally waits until i can take off on the green, even though his lane had been clear for about 10 sec or so.

      My first thought is to use something like this https://www.bunnings.com.au/goof-off-177ml-adhesive-remover_p1580913

      A lot of the trim pieces on the E39 are super brittle and just dissolve when you try to get them off. It looks like a previous owner has used what can only be described as an industrial construction foam adhesive to glue down a tiny piece of trim.  Unfortunately this part of the tailgate is starting to rust because of how much shit is in here. This is stopping the water draining and there's a big build-up of dirt that is just staying wet. How can I remove this? Would a flap disc get rid of this?  I think this car spent a lot of time inland. There's so much light coloured, fine dirt and dust everywhere.  Sorry for the pic. I've cleaned this all up now so I'll get another pic of it clean today.

      Surely, just about any shop that has done a Skyline (or Supra, or RX-7, or EVO, or WRX) will have done E85. But perhaps you need to specify what type of car, what type of engine, what ECU, you propose to be using.

      Try an oil additive. There's a couple of options for "easier shifting". These are essentially a similar idea to what Redline put into their Shockproof gear oils. I had a 2nd hand R33 (in fact, as of right now, it is still in the car) that simply would not engage any gear with the engine running, with normal gear oil in it. We dropped that and replaced it with Shockproof lightweight, and suddenly the gear lever did what it was supposed to. At a cost, of course, of the then ongoing damage to internals done by running Shockproof. But the synchros were already totally uninterested in life, so there was no loss.
