i've had cops and regular joe's do that to me. i tap the brakes a couple of times but it doesn't seem to work.

speaking about brake lights - i hate it when cabs tap the brakes and tail gate, it shits me cos it is confusing (don't wanna single out cabbies, but they are the only ones i recall ever doing it)

having said that, i've been on the other side and tailed other people, but i don't tail them to annoy them, i want to get past them.

guys, you drive skylines - unfortunately it goes with the territory

I know it sux, but thats the way it is.

Case in point - taking photographs at Homebush Sunday night, and a divvy van drives in with two cops in it. You can bet your ass that if the cars being photographed were a bunch of skylines or other HPI's the shit would have hit the fan.

The cops looked and saw an Audi A3, Cooper S, Golf GTI, and TT Roadster. They just engaged reverse and drove straight back out. We were there for over an hour - even the local security guys drove in and out and didn't say anything...

and people wonder why I drive what I do... :D

WARNING

New Unmarked Highway Patrol unit in Menai and southern suburbs, patrolling southern sydney

brand spanking new BLACK SS COMMODORE, full highway patrol unit, looks like the car ya neighbour drives, including rear wing, and full SS bodykit, V8 badges...

WATCH OUT

I was talking to the 2 cops in the Menai Subway queue this arvo, and acted like a goody goody to get some info, and they were operating out of sutherland, patrolling the Sutherland shire, and St George areas, targeting street racing, illegally modified cars, and young drivers (that means they are the P patrol).

KNOW YOUR RIGHTS - they seemed like heavyweights, likely to push you around to make a bust.

Just a friendly warning from Son of Sydneykid

DAM ****EN STRAIGHT !!!

We where there a group of about 10 skylines taking photo's there and we got told to move on because it is illegal to take photo's there. When we moved they continued to harrass us and threatend to fine us !!

I wish i had unlimited fund i would sue the pricks for discrimination.

Maybe if everyone donates lots and lots of money to the forums we could get a class action going?! :uh-huh:

      R34 gtt rb25det neo timing belt kit

      By drifter17a · Posted

      So been ocd with timing mark but checked from few angle and seems both cam are on and crank is matching as well to the slot on sump and crank pully   i noticed crankshaft cover has been robbed as per attached pic. Any ideas why? Could my balancer or harmonic be on its way out? should I replace the cover? https://ibb.co/ZR1JFYRR

      So now doing the change and first time dealing with rb so little nervous giving engine power and potential for screwing it up When you align all marks and then remove crank bolt, timing move little I assume you can put the bolt back in once you have removed the pully to get timing to where you want?   here is pic of my both intake and exchust cam aligned, depending on angle you look they seem to be either aligned or a half tooth or so out. Any thoughts? Should you angle your face and look at each mark that way as if looking straight rather than from above as it can be misleading   <a href="https://ibb.co/ZpnhcvbF"><img src="https://i.ibb.co/HfWrGR9b/IMG-4447.jpg" alt="IMG-4447" border="0"></a> <a href="https://ibb.co/4wm2wn4q"><img src="https://i.ibb.co/JWBqWwr1/IMG-4445.jpg" alt="IMG-4445" border="0"></a>   https://ibb.co/ZpnhcvbF https://ibb.co/4wm2wn4q

      braided lines for the turbos

      By sunsetR33 · Posted

      Thanks for the reply @GTSBoy Haven't really thought of that yet, but you are right. If the hose was damaged it should be absolutely pissing by now. I'll put some heat sleeve around it for good measure since I'm already removing the line anyway.  Maybe I'll put on some of the stock hardlines if I ever fully remove the turbos again. Maybe when T51R modding the compressor housings? Might be a fun mod on GT28s for that "fake single turbo" effect.

      Unpeeling the Orange

      By sunsetR33 · Posted

      Update 1: I did some work on the car already before finalizing this post and my "issues" list. I dropped the Tomei exhaust in favor of the HKS Hi Power Silent. Sounds nice and I can actually hear myself think now. Also gives me a realistic chance to legally drive without silencer inserts. A bit of cheating was necessary to still be able to mount the Top Secret style diffuser. Some malusage of washers and a bit of "convincing" toward the brackets and exhaust hanger seemed to do the trick. The shaky steering wheel has been resolved as various suspension components were worn, like sway bar bushings and link bars. Most notably the two steering tie rod ends. Had some trouble finding bushings because my sway bars are not OEM thickness, 23.x up front and 27 rear. But non adjustable, so no aftermarket I suppose. Maybe they are nismo units? Turbo oil drain hoses were definitely still the originals and are new now. Wasn't the cause of the turbo oil leak sadly. Currently removing the rear turbo because of it, I suspect the braided oil feed line is the culprit. This issue needs to be dealt with so I can work towards actually getting the turbo setup legal and inspected. Two new issues to add to the list as well. Rear Main seal is probably leaking. Time will show how bad it is, I don't really want to drop the gearbox right now just for the stupid seal. Could fix a few other things in one go once I do that. Front right driveshaft grease is going past the cv boot, so at some point I'll fix that too.
