I thought it was my turn to have a rant, so here is the story...

Tonight went for a cruise with my mate up norton summit into lobethal,then back down the gorge, at Kangaroo creek we stop and have a break as im feeling abit tired. Then after awhile a cooner spec VN full of feral skin heads pulls in and starts yelling and harrassing the F*** out of us, so we just boost it out of there only to be followed, but it only took a few corners to loose them.

About an 30-40 minutes later we are getting food at HJ's only to have a junker VL and a VS both full of yobbo's come and start circling around my car so I couldnt drive off, one of them just narrowly missing my car :woot: ... So we just sat in the car looking like we didnt give a shit until the got bored and buggered off.

I just realised now I should of written down their plates and reported them :D

I dont have a problem with commodore drivers in general my brother and one of my best mates drive them and they dont act like yobbos.

Do things like this happen to other skyline drivers or am I just unlucky at attracting these random commodore knob jockeys??

yeh its happened to me a few times... on the way home from work once i got a commodore sitting right up my arse, when i look back into my rear vision mirror i cant see his bonnet thats how close the C*** was, so wat do u do? its farken peak hour so boost'n off into the sun set aint an option... i turn off into mawson lakes, this fag follows me and is hangin out the window yelling at me to pull over.... id pull over and have a crack at him if he didnt look 3 times the size of me. eventually loose him tho as i know mawson lakes pretty good.

a few times i get randoms asking my dumb questions.... like "omg a skyline how much boost are you running??????" and "does it boost hard?????" thaey are my personal favourites.

you always get flamin mongrels like that.. the other day a vr pulled into the car park next to me and my mate.. his music was blazing, we both have 32's so we started up our engines and he shut up.. u gotta set em in line.... just show em whos boss like mentioned earlier dude, else if they threatening, just ignore them... they will eventually get bored... best of luck mate.

I also get it in my daily young commy drivers cutting in frount of me and driving right up my ars. So i slow down to 50kph just to piss them of and when they go to over take i speed up lol then at the lights i just give them a big smile lol

just watch out tho most think they are 50cent or eminem lol

A funny part I forgot my mate was saying after we left one of the guys in the VS was asking his mate in the car "is that thing really have a turbo" :D

I thought having RS-TURBO on the side of the car would be a big enough indication? :D

I guess the only answer is to take them on.... and give them shit for losing to a 2 litre 4 cylinder :woot:

+1 for all the above comments yes there may be some good commys out there but im so sick of them getting up ur ass and wanting to drag u if i had a dollar for every time that happened

no shit, if you had a $1 for every time that happens you would be a millionaire!!

my best mate and his mates all have nice supercharged or v8 spec commy's but i have been cruising with them a couple of times and even they hate elizabethian spec commy's.....but yes i have had plenty of these...i also seen to attract small turbo cars trying to give me a run....but yes if i had a $1 for everytime a commy or ford driver wanted to give me a run i would have a freaking 34 NUR GTR by now

what's going on? they're still spewing over bathurst! they're just jealous because they can't put fully sick nismo stickers on their cars!

but i've had my share of these situations! mainly because my car is rice

Unless they start getting serious n start calling me shit i usually wont do anything. Racing people like that isn't even worth it at all. Im still waiting for the chance to do a keybanger into someones window one day with the corolla. It'll either get them really mad or shut em up. Im curious to see.

ive had a couple of bogans yell stuff after giving em a beating, i usually cant make it out between the bogan slur and my exhaust note so i dont really bother me. usually just laugh at em :)

my bro's gets way worse with his swift turbo, he usually gets the finger. but its funny as hell when he beats the v8s and they seriously get on the verge of crying. we got some of them on film :P

i reckon i prob got more abuse in my dato though back in the day, i reffered to it as fastest bucket of sh*t in town complete with peeling vynle roof. i beat a vs once and there was a lil swerving at me and slamming on the brakes in front of me that followed was quite shocked by it

but when these people do this crap it also confirms they were trying there hardest to win and still got whipped :laughing-smiley-014:

i was travelling around 20kmph and just came out of a petrol station and next thing i new a vl was up my arse..

so he puts on his blinker to overtake and as hes next to me pushing its guts i put my foot down a little, reachin 60 in no time, only for him to swerve back behind me to avoid a truck, he then swerved in front, tried to side swipe me, then pulled in front of me, slammed on his brakes, then went back behind hit my rear bumper, and i had to boost. Not a cool experience, My wallet hated him, so did my rear bumper.. Jerks.

Sorry to say but you asked for that. Accellerating while someone is next to you is just stupid, no matter how nice or crap their car is. The fact he had to swerve back in to avoid a head on collision is just stupid on your behalf, what were you trying to prove? Of course going to enrage someone doing that!

I hope you learned your lesson not to put yourself and others in a dangerous situation like that even if they are being idiots, last thing we need is another news story saying "skyline was racing a commodore when the commodore driver was forced to collide head on with oncoming traffic"

/rant

hah the only sort of 'commodore bogans' I get are the ones trying to get my attention, usually just turn the music up and pretend i cant hear them. The ones that try drag me off at the lights are the best.. i rev the engine a little to make em think im gonna take em on then as they floor it i just cruise off slowly. They will get caught one day..

    • Keeping in mind that I am currently getting flat 10 L/100km on my RB25DET, which means >>500km/tank. I would test this car for vacuum leaks, check codes and AFM signal with NissDataScan as D says, check plugs, do a compression check while they are out.
    • It is hard to be specific half way across the world...but it *seems* like it might have a minor issue. Is the idle stable and does it rev smoothly? I would not expect any pops out of what I am assuming is a standard ECU, standard tune, standard exhaust. You can use Nissan Data Scan to find out exactly what is happening when it runs, the cable/software is reasonably affordable if you are not planning on changing the ECU (which hopefully you are not with an NA skyline) BTW your mileage may not be that far off, these are heavy old tech cars, and being NA might mean you use a heavy foot to keep up with traffic....
    • Hey guys! Y'all are the masters so figured I'd check in on a few items here. - My engine sounds ever-so-slightly more raspy than the other NA RB25s I've listened to. It's barely noticeable but definitely a slightly different sound. - When I back off the throttle at high RPM, I will sometimes get a pop out of the exhaust, assuming this can be diagnosed as misfire. Some history on the car: - Had an exhaust leak in auction sheet but was claimed to be fixed by seller (bought from USA importer).  - Car's coil packs and sparks were replaced when it was sold to me, but unsure on what the gap is and whether the coil packs are correct.  - A prior mechanic had misdiagnosed a pilot or throwout bearing sound as LSPI/detonation. Had played with timing a bit, pops/raspy sound of engine just got worse. Got timing reset. - Had failed emissions a few times. First time went in as is, failed. Second time, replaced cat, still failed, running rich as hell. Third time replaced o2 sensor, passed. Car still smells gassy though. - Timing belt and valve cover gasket also replaced.  - Gas mileage is... low. about 350-400K per tank.  Any idea if I'm having any serious issues here or does this all sound like normal old NA RB stuff and I'm fine to drive it with the pops/slightly raspy engine? If it'll help, I can get drop a video of the sound of the engine.
    • So....to find any R chassis part number, get your VIN (will be something like ER33-xxxxxx for you) and go to: https://www.amayama.com/en/genuine-catalogs/nissan and enter it. From there you have access to a web version of Nissan's part system, FAST. It is a bit tricky to get used to, so maybe have a shot and post up what you think.  You can also search by general model but note in some cases your car might have different options so VIN is safest.  On diagram 211 I got 14075-75T16 for Connector, Water Hose If I search for part 14053‑21U10 that you posted, that is also a water hose but not the one bolted to the plenum and 14075‑04U00 is the fitting where the water hose goes into the block.
    • Yeah now we are talking I much prefer coolers in the front middle because it lessens the chance of a small bump to a corner stopping the whole event. I was thinking the AT cooler can move out of the radiator, delete the AT/engine coolant interwarmer and mount a separate cooler with a thermoswitch somewhere further back as is common in racing, that would be one thing. Beyond that, the engine oil cooler is an obvious one to move to the wheel arch, potentially one on each side, but unused space is an issue. I did have a earlier pic with the bumper off but it doesn't show how busy the corners are: DS is full of the auto driving sensors and PS is totally fully of windscreen washer fluid reservoir But ultimately I was hoping to keep the AC, and the water/air heat exchanger is fundamental so it is not just the radiator that needs to be in front BTW here's airflow to the rad as it ran at the track (one horn is gone now and I'll remove the lights next time):
