John, I'm amazed at your absolutely care-free attitude to this event. If someone followed me, I would pull over only in a very public place if at all. And one day you will chase the wrong dude and he will get out of the car and A. Throttle you. B. Throttle you and take your car. Or C. He will be your favourite off-duty cop and he will throttle you and throw you in jail.

Your actions only perpetuate the road-rage phenomena. Yes, there are fools on the road, but two wrongs don't make a right.

Be the bigger man and let it slide.

Thats it hey. Its the 'unknown' factor. You dont know what is in their car, what they are on, why they cut you off, who they are etc. He could have just robbed a bank, killed the guard and not give a rats if your the next victim.

Seriously dude, say on your average 30min trip, you could let 5 cars in, the MAXIUM that is going to add to your trip is 1min if its heavy traffic.

But in regards to the keying thing, I hope the barstards get real bad hurt, by say an angry bull shark or something. Keying reallly gets on my nerves, if they push hard enough its got to be the hardest thing to fix up properly.

thanks everyone - i really appreciate the sympathy

That scratch looks very deep, buffing it might reduce it a bit however you may need to get it resprayed

yeah it is deep and yeah think your right... wonder if it would be cheaper to replace the bonnet.. probably not hey. i might go and look in the "good places to take your car" sticky thread to see if there are any recommended shops who do respraying

Go see Carey at showdown customs Everton hills, he does a good job at a good price.

0_o that sucks balls man.. I dunno what it is about skylines but it always seams to attract wanker's attention.... Is it the fact that we could beat them in a race ? or maybe the fact we had enough money to buy a car that isnt falling appart around us ? or maybe the fact that we were smart enough wid our money to actuelly save up for something nice 0_o

This will never be answered but the fact is there will always be retards on our roads and streets and theres nothing we can do... Thats why god created carmagedon... ^^

Ben u play too much games. i have no idea what 'carmagedon' is? can u speak english?lol

It's a game where you score points for running people over :)

I get the same shit in our BMW. Everyone cuts you off, tries to race, etc... These people have a very small penis :)

judging by your reaction and the fact this shit actually happened to your car, you dont happen to live in woodridge or anything do you? =P

Word. :nyaanyaa:

Some people just hold onto the past like it was only yesterday. You know what is funny, Southport / Surfers paradise have the highest rate of automobile break ins and theft in Qld, yet you rarely hear anybody say anything bad about those suburbs.

    • AHHHH gotchaa, I'll do that once I am home again. I tried doing the harness with the multimeter but it seems the car needed a jump, there was no power when it was in the "ON" position. Not sure if I should use car battery jump starter or if its because the stuff that has been disconnect the car just does send power.
    • As far as I can tell I have everything properly set in the Haltech software for engine size, injector data, all sensors seem to be reporting proper numbers.  If I change any injector details it doesnt run right.    Changing the base map is having the biggest change in response, im not sure how people are saying it doesnt really matter.  I'm guessing under normal conditions the ECU is able to self adjust and keep everything smooth.   Right now my best performance is happening by lowering the base map just enough to where the ECU us doing short term cut of about 45% to reach the target Lambda of 14.7.  That way when I start putting load on it still has high enough fuel map to not be so lean.  After 2500 rpm I raised the base map to what would be really rich at no load, but still helps with the lean spots on load.  I figure I don't have much reason to be above 2500rpm with no load.  When watching other videos it seems their target is reached much faster than mine.  Mine takes forever to adjust and reach the target. My next few days will be spent making sure timing is good, it was running fine before doing the ECU and DBW swap, but want to verify.  I'll also probably swap in the new injectors I bought as well as a walbro 255 pump.  
    • It would be different if the sealant hadn't started to peel up with gaps in the glue about ~6cm and bigger in some areas. I would much prefer not having to do the work take them off the car . However, the filler the owner put in the roof rack mount cavities has shrunk and begun to crack on the rail delete panels. I cant trust that to hold off moisture ingress especially where I live. Not only that but I have faded paint on as well as on either side of these panels, so they would need to come off to give the roofline a proper respray. My goal is to get in there and put a healthy amount of epoxy instead of panel filler/bog and potentially skin with carbon fiber. I have 2 spare rolls from an old motorcycle fairing project from a few years back and I think it'd be a nice touch on a black stag.  I've seen some threads where people replace their roof rack delete with a welded in sheet metal part. But has anyone re-worked the roof rails themselves? It seems like there is a lot of volume there to add in some threads and maybe a keyway for a quick(er) release roof rack system. Not afraid to mill something out if I have to. It would be cool to have a cross bar only setup. That way I can keep the sleek roofline that would accept a couple bolts to gain back that extra utility  3D print some snazzy covers to hide the threaded section to be thorough and keep things covered when not using the rack. 
    • Probably not. A workshop grade scantool is my go to for proper Consult interrogation. Any workshop grade tool should do it. Just go to a workshop.
    • In my head it does make sense to be a fuel problem since that is what I touched when cleaning the system. When I was testing with the fuel pressure gauge, the pressure was constantly 2.5 bar with the FPR vacuum removed. When stalling, the pressure was going up to 3.0 bar (which is how it should be on ignition).
