Damn Tailgater's

[shepo]

Hi all,

last week i picked up my new baby, (R32 GTR) i will be uploading some pics soon.

One thing i have noticed since i got it is the number of idiots that fell the need to ride my arse! this never used to hapen in my old car!

So what i am thinking is, is it the GTR badge on the boot? Im guessing that they just assume that i wanna race them...

Does this hapen to anyone else with GTR's out there?

But i must say that it is very annoying, and one day it will probably turn into road rage!!!

[vinnie32GTS4]

hey mate

ive got a 32 too however mine is not a gtr and i stil get tools who tail gate my ass..pisses me off actually coz wat if i gotta stop real quick. You just gotta get used to i guess and if they piss u off enough then boost away lol

[Black Widow]

shepo unlucky mate...maybe they love ur car so much they wanna get close enough to take a big wiff of the exhaust fumes???

[FATAZZ]

don't boost away...good chance it will then be a cop.

Just go slower and slower,they'll eventually get the picture and go around.

[TezGT-R]

Get a new bumper sticker "The closer you get, the slower I go".

Or make your exhaust shoot flames and burn their front bumper...

[(OO)SKYLINE(OO)]

Yeah you get f**kers out there that do it.

Their mentality is "oh GTR check it out and see if he wants to race".

Those ppl have no F**king idea cuz they drive shit cars or don't know shit about cars.

If it pisses you off that much, I was told ppl get an Anti Lag system then ya Godzilla will really blow fire!

[GTR-32U]

turn wipers and water squirters on for some time.Wash all the sh$t from your windscreen all over the car behind...works great on highways

[lingeringsoul]

tune it RICH!!!!! make is spit fire!!!! you won't have any trouble from tailgaters ever again.

i get people hug my ass off at the lights. they think cause its a line I will do quarter mile take offs off the light so they can shoot infront of traffic along side me. alot of the times they've been dissapointed...ha.

[shepo]

i think maybe if i just pretend they are not there, and not bother looking in the mirror. if they run up my arse its their problem!

it does shoot flames by the way... its awesome!

I've noticed this too since buying a skyline. Previous car was a WRX, no one really bothered me, now I get these economy cars up my arse from the lights or they pace next to me wanting to race. Sorry guys not going to waste precious fuel on teaching a lesson to your Mazda 3/Corolla/Crapadore.

tailgaters sh1t me regardless of what car I am driving.

I had this excellent idea - and how good would it be if you could build it.

but basically a small pipe right at the back of your car that releases a really really foul smelling gas/liquid

that would really stick to the tailgaters car- that would get them off pretty damned quick

If its particularly bad tailgating ( and I am doing nothing wrong ) I will tap the brakes and give em a bit of a scare - this results in either them backing off or getting irrationally pissed off hhaha

god I have seen some classic facial expressions in my rear view mirror.

but I mean what does it actually acheive?

on mountsbay road I saw this old and fcking huge F truck right up the arse of a small hatchback - I can tell you right now the hatchback would stop a LOT faster than some old F truck with ancient drum brakes hahah

sounds like a good idea and would not be that hard to do. Just get a generic type windscreen Washer bottle and squirter. and run it under the car with a nozzle facing windscreen height.As for stinky stuff ? God knows what you could use...Stale milk, stale beer....the mind boggles

Ive had to do that too, strangely enough though it happened in my previous car ( Lantra ) havent had any dramas in the Skyline which Im suprised about. Why people must sit on my arse I will never know, dont they realise Im gonna hit the breaks and go slower? LOL

Just ignore them.

[bloodzkull]

+1 for spark cut rev limiter and scare the f**k outta them

[VB-]

dont sit in the right lane doing 90 and you shouldnt have a problem

PS - invest in a Bee*R rev limiter

[joeyjoejoejuniorshabadoo]

i've often wished i had a Bee*R rev limiter in the car for that reason... but i'm not popping my motor just for a little road rage revenge

If you get one, for God's sake make sure you do it upwind of the tailgater. This is what happens when you're not:

Another solution I was recommended was to carry small bags of 5c pieces (or any other shrapnel you can find, like old nails or something).

If someone tailgates you, speed up. If they decide to speed up too, grab a handful of these coins, pull to the left, and toss the coins out the back. You'd be unsurprised at what driving into small bits of metal at 70km/hr does to the front of a car, and it costs you very little.

It was even better when 1c pieces were in circulation. You could toss a lot of metal out for the cost of a soft serve.
