Well.... that makes it all OK then doesn't it. :)

So once you have done an advanced driving course, it's OK to drag people on the streets and endanger innocent lives?

I'm sorry, but I don't care if you've done an advanced driving course or not, if you completed an advanced driving course, then why are you still treating other peoples lives with such blatant disregard?

(Not to mention that advanced driving courses are conducted under controlled conditions)

Some people never grow up......

Spot on!

As for the Advance Driver Course, the one thing they hope you walk away with is an attitude conducive to better/safer driving, not car control.

Driving at anytime can be dangerous, and plenty of good people loose their lives or well being in simple/terrible car accidents. If your going to race on the street at least respect the fact that IT IS DANGEROUS!!!!!!!

... or are you saying you have better car control then Possum Bourne, and somehow can see into the future.

i dont think you can get a fine for the drag on calder man.

im pretty sure if u do u can contest it, cause she has no proof. unless u told her how fast u were goin. then its ur word against hers. u should of said u were doin about 110, and u werent too sure cause u were too busy looking at the guy who was "stalking you", you were afraid, life in danger etc... etc... bullshit.

just hope u dont get it.

R31 Skyline Chick...

I am sure that if we followed you around on a daily basis with a camera, filming your every move in your R31, we would see you breaking the law some-how as well.

Sorry to say this but you seem to be on some sought of HIGH HORSE in regards to your driving. Well I am sorry but I just don't believe it.

We are car enthusiasts and in my opinion I believe that the best place to drive our cars properly is on the track.

HOWEVER, that is not possible all the time, therefore if someone chooses to give their car a bit of a run once in a while, let them, that's why we bought them. It is not as if we are drink driving or driving under the influence of drugs etc...anyone who does that has s**t for brains.

In summing up, get your hand off it. (I in no way mean to offend)

... as you state, I'm an enthusiast... not a rev head.

I feel no desire to go around being a menace on public roads.

Follow me around with a camera if you must. :P

It is not as if we are drink driving or driving under the influence of drugs etc...anyone who does that has s**t for brains.  

How is it any less dangerous to drive at high speeds on public roads?

Might as well be drunk, because at least when you kill someone you can say

"I'm sorry your honour, I was having an alcoholic blackout at the time of the accident, and I don't recall killing 2 entire families."

It sounds a lot better than

"I'm sorry your honour, I was just bored and had nothing better to do, so I thought I'd go and kill some people and blame it on the car."

:uh-huh:

That is a bit harsh and blown out of proportion. What I would call "Not spot on"

Have you had a bad experience with cars/accidents or something because I sence a bit of hostility?

I am an enthusiast and a rev-head...generalise me if you must.

I go to Willowbank and drag my Skyline because I like to do it. I don't however go out and drive over the speed limit because : "I am out hunting for 2 entire families to kill"

Again...calm down and re-read what you have been typing.

1)I do not condone any form of dangerous driving on public roads that puts innocent peoples lives at risk.

2)Every day you drive your car you put innocent lives at risk. Shit happens and that is life. Driving responsibly will always safe-guard you from accidents but will never fully protect you.

It is all a part of growing up, and mistakes are such for a reason, they teach lessons.

Part of growing up?

Maybe that's the problem....

I'm all grown up. :P

I've lost enough innocent mates to terrible road accidents.

I have zero tolerence for people being assholes on the road.

Public roads aren't for playing games.

If you want to be a terrorist, go to Iraq. :)

[edit]

I don't need to re-read what I've written, I'm well aware of how I sound, maybe when you lose some mates to someone elses stupidity, you may realise where I'm coming from.

Hopefully you won't need to lose anyone close to you before you realise what I'm talking about...

Maybe when you have children of your own, you might understand how precious life is.

Nobody is invincible.

    • Even more fun, leave all the ADAS stuff plugged in, but in different locations, hopefully avoid any codes!   And honestly, all these new cars with their weird electronics. Pull all the electronics out Duncan, and just shove an aftermarket ECU and if needed a trans controller in, along with a PDM. Make it run basic but race car styled!
    • To follow up a question from earlier too since I had the front bar off again (fking!) This is what is between the bumper and the drivers side wheel And this is the navigator side, only one thing but its a biggy! So basically....no putting coolers in the wheel arches without a lot of moving other stuff. Assuming I move to properly race prepping this car I'll take that job on and see how the computers respond to removing a whole bunch of ADAS modules
    • So I prepped the car for another track day on Wednesday (will be interesting to see coolant temps post flushing out and the larger reservoir, with a forecast of 3-14 being 20o cooler than last time I took it out). Couple of things to mention; since I am just driving the car and not taking a support vehicle, I took the rear seats out and just loaded the back up Team Trackday style. Look at all that space! To cover off removing the rear seat....it is weird (note the hybrid is probably different because it wouldn't have folding rear seats) Basically, you remove the lower seat base, very similar to a r series but it is a clip that pulls forward to release the base rather than it being bolted down. Easy Then, you need to remove the side section of the rear seat on each side. There is a 14mm head nut at the bottom of the side piece, the it slides upwards off a hook at the top to release; you also need to unhook the seatbelt from the loop at the top. Then the centre piece is weird. You need to release/fold the seats forward with the tab in the boot on each side From there, there are 2,x12mm headed bolts holding the rear of each seat to the folding bracket, under the trim between the rear seat and the boot (4x christmas tree clips there, they suck). The seat is out but you can see where the bolts attach to the bracket
    • As discussed in the previous post, the bushes in the 110 needed replacing. I took this opportunity to replace the castor bushes, the front lower control arm, lower the car and get the alignment dialled in with new tyres. I took it down to Alignment Motorsports on the GC to get this work done and also get more out of the Shockworks as I felt like I wasn't getting the full use out of them.  To cut a very long story short, it ended up being the case the passenger side castor arm wouldn't accept the brand new bush as the sleeve had worn badly enough to the point you could push the new bush in by hand and completely through. Trying a pair of TRD bushes didn't fix the issue either (I had originally gone with Hardrace bushes). We needed to urgently source another castor arm, and thankfully this was sourced and the guys at the shop worked on my car until 7pm on a Saturday to get everything done. The car rides a lot nicer now with the suspension dialled in properly. Lowered the car a little as well to suit the lower profile front tyres, and just bring the car down generally. Eternally thankful for the guys down at the shop to get the car sorted, we both pulled big favours from our contacts to get it done on the Saturday.  Also plugged in the new Stedi foglights into the S15, and even from a quick test in the garage I'm keen to see how they look out on the road. I had some concerns about the length of the LED body and whether it'd fit in the foglight housing but it's fine.  I've got a small window coming up next month where I'll likely get a little paint work done on the 110 to remove the rear wing, add a boot wing and roof wing, get the side skirt fixed up and colour match the little panel on the tail lights so that I can install some badges that I've kept in storage. I'm also tempted to put in a new pair of headlights on the 110.  Until then, here's some more pictures from Easter this year. 
    • I would put a fuel pressure gauge between the filter and the fuel rail, see if it's maintaining good fuel pressure at idle going up to the point when it stalls. Do you see any strange behavior in commanded fuel leading up to the point when it stalls? You might have to start going through the service manual and doing a long list of sensor tests if it's not the fuel system for whatever reason.
