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......

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.

i assure you i did not do this dangerously in anyway as i work for a motor company and have been on an advanced driving course.  

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

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.

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.

      A 1.5 way is a 2 way. It is just a 2 way with a less aggressive ramp on overrun.

      The ABS and/or TCS being missing/broken will not cause the engine to misbehave. It just casues CEL to come on and annoy you. The CEL is useless if it is always on, so you have to do the things you have to do to get rid of it, so it can be useful. Being a Stag ECU, then yes, it will not expect TCS to be present. But it will expect ABS to be present and working. You will need to either make the ABS CU talk to the ECU (don't ask me what that will take on an NA R34), and make sure the hardware is working....or, you just need to blank it out in Nistune. Do not persist with the stock ECU. You will just have problems. Gte it Nistuned. Start from there. DO YOU HAVE A BOOST SENSOR? The ECU's boost sensor that it. It is connected to the loom at the rear of the coil cover. Usually rides on the firewall on an R34, but is usually bolted down to a bracket along with all the other crap at the back of the coil cover when a Neo is dropped into another car. If you do not have it, the ECU will shit the bed. So, do you have one?

      So sadly the fuel pump etc was not it. The pump and filter is new and it is still cutting around 4000 rpm. A read something about ABS/TCS (engine is from stagea and ECU too so no TCS) and i dont know for 100% that my car has ABS. It has ABS "cube" in engine bay but i dont think it works(or at least from my braking experience). Can be something like that?  I will be driving the car next week to Nistune tuner to properly see what is wrong...

      the Tomei LSD fluid with lsd kit. frustrated that it was shaking the car to crap and affecting everything else negatively, I pulled the diff last night, and removed the lsd carrier, could not find anything wrong, however it seem to be 100 locked up acceleration, and deacceleration, wondering if they sent me a 2 way not a 1.5??  either way I installed the stock open carrier back in place. test drove everything smooth as butter again. no shake, shutter, random, what felt like clutch slip and grab or drive shaft play, etc. something differently wrong in side the lsd. I might bother taking it apart (if possible) to figure out what's going on inside this carrier, as bought too long ago to return.  only draw back is its back to a one wheel wonder.
