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!!! :D

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! :D

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

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.

    • Yeah, plenty of air flow, there is a dedicated path that feeds the air in to the OEM intake tube behind the bumper As for a "tangible effect", maybe, but getting the pod/intake air out of the hot engine bay is worth it psychologically to me, even if it gives no performance difference, so the tangible effect in my Lizard brain saysss yessss  In the end, to me a tangible effect isn't always about performance, sometimes it a sound or a look, or even a...... feeling  Ooga-Chaka Ooga-Ooga Ooga-Chaka Ooga-Ooga Ooga-Chaka Ooga-Ooga Ooga-Chaka Ooga-Ooga
    • yeah first and reverse is where you will find clutch release issues (whether hydraulic or mechanical) because the difference in revs required is the highest there; particularly changing down from 2nd to 1st when still moving. To be clearer though, it is possible that the clutch release bearing is the wrong height. This is less likely than a hydraulic issue but it is not unheard of when you are mixing and matching
    • Quite right, if you make it to that pension you deserve every cent
    • Hi all, Restoring r33 series 1 rb25det. All the heater hoses were on their way out, have replaced them and put it all back together. After testing I noticed a small leak from behind the head on the actual metal water line to the turbo when cars warm. I tried running a longer hose over it but it kept leaking...   I am about to take the (stock) manifold off again😔 to change the water line does any one have any lines they recommend? I was looking at Aeroflow Turbo Oil & Water Line Set but not sure what everyone else recommends. Car is completely stock but want to upgrade turbo eventually. it looks like ill have to disconnect a lot just to replace these lines so if there's anything else recommended to do please let me know. Thank you in advance!
    • From memory, on the R33 GTSt at least, while everyone says "It's not adjustable", I found when I changed clutches in mine, it just needed a small adjustment on the rod length. But be very wary here, as you could end up trying to push the pushrod in the master too far, or blowing out the slave.   Most likely though, if the master/slave isn't bypassing internally or leaking out, then the throw out is the wrong height compared to the fingers on the clutch, so when it moves to disengage the clutch, it isn't 100% disengaged. You can check part of this out too by jacking the car up, having the engine running, put your foot on the clutch and try to engage 1st gear. If it goes in pretty easy (Compared to the ground) and/or the wheels start turning a fair bit and it takes a bit too much brake pedal to bring them back to a stop, this is likely the issue.  I'm not sure if you can adjust the height of the forks etc in these though, it's been that long since I've touched any RB gearbox.
