I know this has been covered many times but i had to bring it up again, what is the deal with wannabe skyline owners thinking that we will

care if they sit next to us and rev their engines? On the way home this arvo i had 3 p platers in commos try to race me, a bloke in an xr6

go screaming past me and another guy in a new sr5 hilux hang out the window and say " wanna race " i mean god damn it's getting pretty

old, and that was within an hour.

On the plus side i did see green p plater in a nice silver stagea, got a wave as well, now that's respect LOL.

Bro.... I have to agree and also bear witness to such idiotic things...

I mean... to them, Skylines, Silvias, WRX's etc are "BEAST LIKE" sports cars... so once they line up next to ya... they're like... ok, here's the benchmark...let's race them... I have nothing to lose, but if I floke it and win... it would make the other bloke in their Riceboxes look bad...

For example, my car is pretty made-up and modded... stopped at the lights next to Holden VL or something... and they just went totally nuts!! LOL

SO yeah, sad but true.

shiny objects can fool em.

I used to get it a lot too, only it's usually from the commo crowd, so I couldn't give a crap. What is it with the commodore? As soon as the V8 races start, they're all revving to go! For this reason alone, I cannot buy a commodore ever.

i find more middle aged womean and tradies in there AU tradesmans and shit tailgaiting me... drives me insane. just cause our cars are awesome doesnt mean we have to impress other drivers. haha

^^^ lol its funny cos its true, they try so hard but dont make any distance.

i dont really get anyone doing that alot, only when its a merge in lane and the commodore just has to prove it can accelerate. Maybe its cos im a girl, cos when my bf drives my car it happens to him alot.

so you dont want people to race but you do want people to smoke tyres.....riiiigggghhhhhttttttttt........

.....but if its a "hero" in a VS commodore i let him gun it and sit back and admire the roar power of it :P

haha classic cause its true dude!

i don't get that because I put on my vin disel face masks on every time I drive and they all know how amazing vin disel is at drag racing so they don't even try. I own their asses before they even know it.

lol

All of the above i find amusing, but what annoys/amuses me, is when a commodore driver lines up next to u at the lights takes off slowly (because he knows if he canes it you will) then like a minute later comes flying past u at 180.. what are they trying to prove lol.. It's even funnier when you drop it back a gear and catch there speed by the time they're next to you.

lol yeh i had this happen to me was in the right lane and in the left lane there was a commo v8 vs (muzza) which needed to merge as lane stops...anyway i saw him and accelerated so he could not get past me on the asphalt, so what does he do? He just goes through the emergency lane which is gravel and overtakes me,there was dust and rocks everywhere and he nearly lost it! what a tool........

i am 1 of these people, except i would pull up next to a commodore in my skyline and do it. and i never had many takers.

i also like pulling up next to skylines with their big chrome wheels and big bodykits that are all show and stock go and then there's me that had stock wheels, with some more go, and then beating them.

now i do it in my current car. a 99 magna. i'm going to race my mate with his 33 at willowbank this weekend. i told him that if he beats me there is something wrong, but i am still hoping for a high 14 second pass, which is quicker than some skylines on here.

    • A few small updates since the previous post and lessons. I decided to do a little interior light upgrade on the 110. I quite like the iilumo items, even if they're a bit of a premium over other brands. You'll also note the Stedi Fogs, that will go into the S15 fog lights as I needed to match the bulbs since I got the new ones earlier. I hope they fit as the body is quite a bit longer than your normal bulb.  Annoyingly, I managed to trip the fuse, which normally wouldn't be an issue until I located the fuse. I can't say I've ever come across this. I had lucked out that someone nearby had a spare, but oddly enough Toyota dealerships seem to keep this in stock. I ordered some to keep in my stash and as luck would have it, someone else nearby tripped the same fuse so I passed on the favour.  I also did a little service on the 110 ahead of some additional work coming up. It's been annoying that Goleby's stopped carrying this particular HKS filter for the 110, so now I need to keep them on order from Japan. I also took the opportunity to install a bash plate and number plate riser. The plate riser is such a cheap but nice fix to help really tidy up the car. I'm tempted to now also replace my headlights, on this car. Both items were from Project Aero.    I also needed to replace the rear tyres on the 110, and after trying to get it aligned learnt that I need to replace some bushes in the front end, so that's next.  Closing out this update with a nicer picture as always! 
    • Yeah mate, never miss it.
    • Any going to watch World Time Attack at SMSP this year?
    • Appreciate the correction on the "ground", that will make a huge difference to looking at this. That makes complete sense about AF70/AF71 which is what I had come down to being the issue, one of these. I'll have another look in the ignition wiring when I get a chance next week. I'll also make up a jumper wire for running that AF73 test.  ECU is fine, relay itself is fine, pump harness is fine and the pump itself is fine. I am going to upgrade the Walbro 255 anyway with a DW300 I have since I need to replace the fuel sender and I'm going to upgrade the FPR with my chasebays kit ready for new plenum/injectors/dbw, but I'll get this working first. That's why this is so frustrating.
