Living in the Redlands it has now become a game to go out at night and if you make it home without being pulled over it is a blessing.

I was thinking it must be me or my skyline that must look like a hoon car then it all became clear tonight.

Some idiot in a white 33 out to prove you don’t need a long neck and feathers to be a goose goes racing through traffic on birkdale road acting like a tool.

I would like to personally thank this idiot for skylines getting the reputation they have.

A master crafted piece of machinery that cannot be driven on the road without attracting attention from the police because of the childish immature stunts pulled by docile wieners like this idiot tonight.

Next time any of your are pulled over for a license and breath test remember not to take it personally as this is being done because they don’t discriminate and sell skylines to idiots too

If they wont sell guns to babies why let this fool have a skyline

talk about a 1 million and 1 times, just get over it mate....

I think a hoon is a hoon, it is programed in their little brains, it does not matter what type of car they are in, it could be a gemini with a 13b wedged in the engine bay or a VN Commo with the airbox removed and Monza steering wheel from Super Cheap. They will be smacktards on the road any chance they get.

Generally speaking these Hoons (sic) are harmless. They weave and dodge and chirp the tyres at the lights and make the boring people shake their heads. But, theres a difference between hooning and downright dangerous. The tragic death referred to in another thread on here is the result of going beyond hoon to insanity.

Who here hasnt given it a boot away from the lights occasionally or neck and necked with one of your skyline buds on the freeway somewhere, To others that is just downright hooning, To us its harmless fun, and thats all it really is. From the little I have seen of the skyline community they arent a dangerous breed of peeps. They enjoy their cars and do play a little but i have yet to see anybody step over the line. And one thing you must always remember......Theres no hoon like an old hoon. :happy:

This forum is like a broken record some times, watch these tools because they arte the kaos factor in action and there is no telling the results.

When i had my silvia it had a low vertex body kit, debadged, shiny black with a straight through (dump pipe replace for the last 2 months) 3" system and all the other usuals...

It was loud when it wanted to be.. and i was never pulled over..

THinking of it now.. i was kinda lucky..

Had the skyline for about 2 weeks now.. and have not been pulled over..

I guess it's the area and also if you attract dickheads too ( tards who want to race you on a road)

Ive been lucky... heres hoping it stays that way :)

All shapes and sizes, Had some cock come flying passed me in his oh wow xr8 ba falcon, im like wtf, then next slows down and here i am cruising along and next he wants to drag, just shook my head and kept on driving, but true about V8's been a target for awhile then imports came hot on the market, so now we have the heat. Mind you it wouldnt get easier when we have thes fktard young people who are fully sic and go out and then bang kill them selves in our skylines either. There is always a minority factor that you cannot ever avoid, doesnt matter what car you do have or they have , there is always going to be a select few that will ruin the reputation.

Just remember one thing, if you are a club member and you are doing these things with your SAU badge flying high you should know better, as you are representing the club.

I agree. they are made for driving, I agree also that no matter what type of car. Idiots will be Idiots. What can you do. If you posted this hoping that this guy may read it, what if he doesnt even come on here? i see alot of skylines around and alot of them dont even come on here.

Im starting to sense a hint of jealousy. Could it be that all these wieners whining about skylines being hoons could be a direct result of them secretly being jealous of our stunning looking cars, and how easy it is to pull away from them. At least it gives you something to look at as we drive past. while you remain putting along in your Granny Kart wishing you didnt have to have it all the way to the floor, just to make the speed limit.

Ive had me skyline for 8 months now, and havnt been pulled over once yet (touch wood). And Also have all me points.

i live in the redlands too!

yeah i had an interesting day yesterday.... on my way to queensland raceway i got cut off by a rav4 and then HE gave ME the finger - i was the bigger man (even though i was like half his age) and didn't do anything.

and then last night on my way to birkdale from capalaba - two of those turbo pulsars (GTiR?) and a supra came SPEEEDING by! they were sooo coool man :)

I havent been pulled over for a "random" breath test for over 2 years.......guess it must be my onroad attitude.

Ive never been pulled over in my skylines all together...

I have owned skylines now for 5 years and in this time have never been pulled over...

I put it down too keeping it somewhat stock looking and driving it with the right attitude...

Also it might help to have a partner who works for the police... :)

I think sometimes we should all from time to time remember why we baught these cars and what they were designed to do..........

Yeah i just wanted a yellow car... :P

Nah i wanted to get into trackdays and have a nice looking car with a bit of poke...

what does that mean?

Im running with the old 'you dont buy a fast car to not go fast' saying.

A lot of it comes down to luck tho Im sure of it. 99% of us would have done stupid/'fun' stuff, just the time, place, and karma weither or not you get booked or not.

And for the record I've only been pulled over once in my car in the past 3 years, I was speeding at the time. I also used to go to all the 'hot' spots and never once got even looked at twice much less pulled over.

End of the day, its never going to change, if you dont like it sell the car and buy something else. I know you shouldnt have to, you should be able to have any car you want and not get hassled, but the world ain't perfect.

i think we need a sticked topic where people can go and vet their frustrations....

so bored of reading :) wah..wah.. wah... soume dick cut me off...wah.. wah... it pisses me off when people do stuff on the road... wah.. wah.. wah.. :P

Col? Sticky a complaints thread then every one can use that.....

Yeah i recon its all about right place right time sorta thing. I don't drive crazy round town or where people are. My mates and i have a good place right away from town up in the bush. A good old dis used airstrip is the go right in the middle of a tree plantation area. Think it was used as a emergency fire fighting airstrip long time ago. If we feel like some fun we just go there with no people around.

I hope to make it to the racetrack soon tho. just saving up for a tandem trailer and a ute to pull it. then it will be the racetrack for me.

    • This. As for your options - I suggest remote mounting the Nissan sensor further away on a length of steel tube. That tube to have a loop in it to handle vibration, etc etc. You will need to either put a tee and a bleed fitting near the sensor, or crack the fitting at the sensor to bleed it full of oil when you first set it up, otherwise you won't get the line filled. But this is a small problem. Just needs enough access to get it done.
    • The time is always correct. Only the date is wrong. It currently thinks it is January 19. Tomorrow it will say it is January 20. The date and time are ( should be ! ) retrieved from the GPS navigation system.
    • Buy yourself a set of easy outs. See if they will get a good bite in and unthread it.   Very very lucky the whole sender didn't let go while on the track and cost you a motor!
    • Well GTSBoy, prepare yourself further. I did a track day with 1/2 a day prep on Friday, inpromptu. The good news is that I got home, and didn't drive the car into a wall. Everything seemed mostly okay. The car was even a little faster than it was last time. I also got to get some good datalog data too. I also noticed a tiny bit of knock which was (luckily?) recorded. All I know is the knock sensors got recalibrated.... and are notorious for false knock. So I don't know if they are too sensitive, not sensitive enough... or some other third option. But I reduced timing anyway. It wasn't every pull through the session either. Think along the lines of -1 degree of timing for say, three instances while at the top of 4th in a 20 minute all-hot-lap session. Unfortunately at the end of session 2... I noticed a little oil. I borrowed some jack stands and a jack and took a look under there, but as is often the case, messing around with it kinda half cleaned it up, it was not conclusive where it was coming from. I decided to give it another go and see how it was. The amount of oil was maybe one/two small drops. I did another 20 minute session and car went well, and I was just starting to get into it and not be terrified of driving on track. I pulled over and checked in the pits and saw this: This is where I called it, packed up and went home as I live ~20 min from the track with a VERY VERY CLOSE EYE on Oil Pressure on the way home. The volume wasn't much but you never know. I checked it today when I had my own space/tools/time to find out what was going on, wanted to clean it up, run the car and see if any of the fittings from around the oil filter were causing it. I have like.. 5 fittings there, so I suspected one was (hopefully?) the culprit. It became immediately apparent as soon as I looked around more closely. 795d266d-a034-4b8c-89c9-d83860f5d00a.mp4       This is the R34 GTT oil sender connected via an adapter to an oil cooler block I have installed which runs AN lines to my cooler (and back). There's also an oil temp sensor on top.  Just after that video, I attempted to unthread the sensor to see if it's loose/worn and it disintegrated in my hand. So yes. I am glad I noticed that oil because it would appear that complete and utter catastrophic engine failure was about 1 second of engine runtime away. I did try to drill the fitting out, and only succeeded in drilling the middle hole much larger and now there's a... smooth hole in there with what looks like a damn sleeve still incredibly tight in there. Not really sure how to proceed from here. My options: 1) Find someone who can remove the stuck fitting, and use a steel adapter so it won't fatigue? (Female BSPT for the R34 sender to 1/8NPT male - HARD to find). IF it isn't possible to remove - Buy a new block ($320) and have someone tap a new 1/8NPT in the top of it ($????) and hope the steel adapter works better. 2) Buy a new block and give up on the OEM pressure sender for the dash entirely, and use the supplied 1/8 NPT for the oil temp sender. Having the oil pressure read 0 in the dash with the warning lamp will give me a lot of anxiety driving around. I do have the actual GM sensor/sender working, but it needs OBD2 as a gauge. If I'm datalogging I don't actually have a readout of what the gauge is currently displaying. 3) Other? Find a new location for the OEM sender? Though I don't know of anywhere that will work. I also don't know if a steel adapter is actually functionally smart here. It's clearly leveraged itself through vibration of the motor and snapped in half. This doesn't seem like a setup a smart person would replicate given the weight of the OEM sender. Still pretty happy being lucky for once and seeing this at the absolute last moment before bye bye motor in a big way, even if an adapter is apparently 6 weeks+ delivery and I have no way to free the current stuck/potentially destroyed threads in the current oil block.
