I've been working in the metro area for the last couple of months and i've noticed that commodore drivers while tailgating me and baiting me as usual are'nt as numerous as they once were. The main offenders now seems to be tossers in XR6 Turbos, utes and 4 doors...am I alone here or are you guys and gals getting the same grief?

Had a guy in an xr6 on a test drive try to get me going, he's unlucky my engine & oil temps were still low otherwise I could have probably saved him the trouble of buying a HMAS Ford. I've found it to be SS Utes myself.

ppl that drive riced up lancers always peeved me off for some reason...

and the new Hyundai Sonatas. Biggest Honda Accord lookalikes ever.

And P-plated drivers in Mercs, Audis and the like dressed up with stuffed toys in the back window restricting their vision, let alone their already dodgy driving.

... this should be in the gear grinder thread shouldnt it :D

I Was going along Warton Road and a guy in a red/grey HSV tried to get me to drag him, you know how they come up along side you and rev their car.. I just :( at them... not worth it lol

I have noticed alot more XR6's on the road, but none that want to drag, they like to fly past in an attempt to show me what they can do though :(

Last sunday I was talking my 78 yr old Dad to see some friends and we pulled up next to an SS ute. My 3inch exhaust must have triggered some kind of penis envy so he gave it a rev to 3 or 4K. So my Dad looks around at him then at me so i give 6K sustained rev for 4 or 5 seconds and me and my Dad had a good laugh as the SS dude limped away owned.....ahhh another father son bonding moment at the expesne of a plonker :/

I never get any attension :D

3 inch turbo back into a cannon its definately loud enough... it just doesn't look riced enough to attract the attension of lancers and excels.

I havn't even been pulled over since I bought the car, I'm jealous

I guess the worst ones I've seen are the VY/VZ Commodores and BA/BF Falcons, they feature blue and white decals and have blue and red lights.

Always tempt me and they always want to have a "chat" when they catch up.

      Wheel Sizes & Offsets For Skylines

      If only it were that easy! I also needed to remove seats, shocks, brake calipers, send my car through a fence, and use measuring and ended up guessing because I didn't remove seats, shocks and brake calipers. It can be hard sometimes Can be a little more complex than 'just measure' if you want to truly measure the entire wheel through all of it's suspension travel. But if you aren't going for every last mm then yeah, you can check the space you currently have and guesstimate.

      If you own a car, and it has wheels on it, and you know the offset of those wheels, and you have a measuring device, you have everything you need to work out if other wheels will fit.

      MAJOR FUEL ISSUES 25det neo r32

      By MBS206 · Posted

      Put a clamp on your return line. I have a feeling it's sucking air, and introducing bubbles to your fuel. With a lot of fuel, less problematic. I'd honestly be redoing all the lines in the tank and clamps on everything.   Also, you've given two different answers to the same question: Asked if being followed by the police you could get down to use the whole tank, you said yes you could, so long as you keep off boost. However, you then followed this up that free revving, it would also cause the issues. I'm doubting free revving is enough to make any noticeable boost on what is likely a decent sized turbo.   So now I have to ask, can you actually drive it lightly and use all the fuel, or does it break up even free revving? Also, have you put a fuel pressure gauge on it? Can you hear the pump change noise at all when you're having this issue?
