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.

    • 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).
    • ECUtalk pages don't mention they support the ABS computer (consult port has more than one CAN), so you might just need a different scan tool. But, I would expect ABS is a different light to the brake warning/handbrake light, do you see an ABS light come on for a few seconds when you turn the key from ACC to IGN? But since you said: I'd have a look at the ABS sensors in the rear hubs to make sure they are not damaged, disconnected etc.
