hehe yeah... yeah thats the one :D was in waverton...

hey... talking about... err 300Zs and cars n stuff...

this morning on the m2 (there was this ???(slow car?) infront of me...) so i was cursing along at around 100.. then this 300Z just buzzed past on the inside lane (like blink and you would have missed it)... it must have been going 140-160 or something... I was thinking ... hehe niiiiicee.... well... I just floored it (felt like saying hi :D ) Finally I sorta caught up at the end of the M2 but there was this small gap in the traffic and it ducked in and hammered on down meanwhile I was stuck in traffic ... (hey I still got a full no claim bonus and drive reasonably 'safely' :D )... buut anyway... by some miricale my lane was going pretty quick and I managed to find it again off in the distance and even caught up to it (sweet car)... so I was stuck behind it in traffic again when it darted off down the transit lane never to be seen again... buut anyway... while i was catching up to it I found this white R33? GTS Skyline which amost did the exact same thing to me yesterday... (i know it was was the same one cause of the rego) Just think its kinda cool how you keep seeing the same cars almost every day on ur way to work ...kinda feel like getting to meet them as you see them every day :)

all mentioned speeds have been exagerated... I never drive illegally or condone any illegal behaviour :D

  • 2 weeks later...

well heh... mabye we should start a new M2 thread or something :)

... So i was driving home today... and there was this cop on a bike around lane cove... I figure... great... i'll just follow him and get home quick... I just didn't realise how quick at the time.

He didn't have his lights on or anything but still going pretty quick. Still, I managed to only be about 5-10 seconds behind him when I get to the M2... so i'm keeping a constant distance (doing ~145) i was like wtf... and just kept up, eventually a car pulls between me and the cop and slows me right down but by the other end of the toll gates I ended up infront of the cop.

He's in the left hand lane and beside me, I hang back and let him merge in front of me (and the slow ass WRX which was infront of me pulls over to let him through)

well i was flooring it for a few seconds just tring to keep up (~130 now)... shortly afterwards he's stuck in traffic at the M2 tunnel... the car in front must have realised he had a cop behind him cause we dropped to exactly 100kph the whole way through the tunnel (no lane changing is allowed inside the tunnel).

We get to the other side of the tunnel and the 2 cars pull over and now were crusing along at 125 (there's 2 more cars in front) so the cop flashes his headlight at the first car which pulls to the left to let him past ... does it to the 2nd... and nothing happens (I think he accelerated to about 130) ... about 3 seconds later the cop puts his siren on (for about a second) and the other car finally takes a hint and pulls to the side (friggen people who don't "keep left unless overtaking")... as soon as the road is clear he takes off... I decided to hang back doing about 160 from which he was still going outta sight...

Thats the 3rd time i've heard of cops flashing there lights/sirens at speeding traffic on the m2 (because there going too slow).

First was a few years ago when i was in a friends MX5 going about 150 (we totally freeked out and pulled right over as we had nfi where i came from)...

My brother has had it done to him (while doing about 140)

and I just saw it being done tonight...

in the excitment of the drive home yesterday there was one really important thing i forgot to do...

... (get gas)...

... parked in waverton again today with 1.8L left and ended up making it to the gas station with 0.5L to spare :D

Speaking of the M2, do any of you guys drive a grey R32 GTST with nice gold AVS wheels?? Was driving on the M2 this morning about 8.30am.

If so, i felt like a tool for waving only to be ignored. ( i felt like that kid thats always last to get picked for a side before a game of soccer)

Even so it was a neat 32

    • Stock ECU (or more accurately stock tune) absolutely refuses to go over 10psi and behaves like you have seen. The Nistune is the same if it is the stock tune. If the Nistune chip has been tuned, the resulting tune could be literally anything for any combination of parts. The Nistune just makes the stock ECU Tunable.
    • So stock ECU does not like anything above 10 psi?  That Nistune one is just for "try" if it will be any different, I know it need to be tune for that. I know but YOU may know about these problem but i/we dont. They few little Skylines here let alone people who know anything about tham so that is why iam asking here  
    • So now we have a radiator with no attachments whatsoever. It lifts up with a particularly tight spot between the drivers side air box mount and the lower radiator outlet, but if you've got this far you will sort that too. This is the lower mounts with the rad out so you can see where the rubber bushes go, it is a straight shot upwards Done! Assembly is the reverse of disassembly, with blood less likely to be shed.
    • Right, onto the second last trick. The Air Con condenser is mounted to the front of the radiator and stays in the car when the radiator is removed. There are 2x 10mm headed self tappers holding the top of the condenser to the radiator, remove those The bottom of the condenser is attached to the radiator with clips. You need to lift the condenser out of those clips and clear (up, then forward). f**ked if  could work out how to do that last bit with the front bumper on. I hope you can, and you share the trick.  Bumper removal probably deserves its own thread one day once I've recovered the will to live, but basically you need to remove the wheels, front inner guard liners (clips and 10mm headed bolts), the self tapper between the guard and the bumper at the rearmost point of the bumper (same as an R32 that bit), any remaining clips at the top/front of the grill, an absolute bastard design with a plate that holds the top of the bumper above the headlight each side (only 1 bolt which is tricky to get to, but the plate catches 2 places on the bumper and must be removed....carefully!) and push clips between the bumper and guard under the headlight. If you've done all that you will be faced with wiring for the fog lights on both sides and in ADM Q50 RS at least, 4 nasty tight plugs on the driver's side for the ADAS stuff. So, the clips at the bottom look like this on drivers side (looking from the front) And on the passenger side (also from the front), you can see this one is already out Clearance on both of these are super tight; the condenser needs to move up but the upper rad support mount prevents that, and the radiator can't move down far because it is (rubber) mounted. Once you achieve the impossible and drop the condenser off those mounts so it does not stop the rad moving, you are good to go
    • OK, next the shroud needs to come off and there are a couple of tricks. Firstly, there is a loom from near the passenger side headlight to the fans, coolant temp sensor etc and there is no plug to undo.  In my case I was OK to leave the shroud on top of the engine so I just undid the passenger side fan plug and about 10 of the clips which gave enough free wire to put it aside. The fan plugs were super tight, the trick I used was a small falt screwdriver to push down on the release tab, then a larger flat screwdriver to lever the plug out of the fan unit....be careful with how much force you apply! If you need to remove the shroud altogether for some reason you will have to deal with all the plugs (tight) and clips (brittle)....good luck. I removed all of the clips and replaced them with cable ties that I will just cut next time. Also, in the Red Sport / 400R at least, the intake heat exchanger reservoir hose is bolted to the shroud in 2 places with 10mm headed bolts; so remove them (the hose stays in the car; no need to undo it at the t fittings down at the radiator lower mount. Once you've dealt with the HX hose and the wiring loom, there are 3x 10mm headed self tappers holding the top of the shroud to the radiator; remove those.   The shroud then lifts out of the bottom mounts where it sits on the radiator, up and onto the engine out of the way.
