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.

    • Forgot to include this but this is the mid section of my steering rack that looks like it has a thread/can be turned with that notch mentioned in the post:
    • Hey everyone, Wanted to pick some brains about this issue I'm having with rebuilding my 33 rack (PN is 49001-19U05). All of the tutorials/videos I've seen online are either R34 or S Chassis racks which seem to be pretty straightforward to disassemble but this process doesnt carry over to my rack. Few of the key differences that I've noted The pinion shaft on the other racks bolt on with 3 torx bolts: Whereas my rack bolts on with 2 allen head bolts: These changes are pretty inconsequential but the main difference is how you pull the actual rack out of the housing. The other skyline/s chassis racks can be taken out by tapping the rack out of the body with a socket and it just slides right out. I'm unable to do that with my rack because there's a hard stop at the end that doesn't let the seal/shaft be tapped out. Can also see a difference in the other end of the rack where mine has a notch that looks like you're able to use a big wrench to unthread 2 halves of the rack whereas the other racks are just kinda set in with a punch. My rack: Other racks: TLDR; Wanted to know if anyone has rebuilt this specific model of steering rack for the R33 and if there were any steps to getting it done easier or if I should just give this to a professional to get done. Sorry if this post is a bit messy, first one I've done.
    • I would just put EBC back on the "I would not use their stuff" pile and move on.
    • Can I suggest you try EBC directly again and link them to as many competitor catalogues as you can to show their listing is incorrect, eg https://dba.com.au/product/front-4000-series-hd-brake-rotor-dba42304/ If you have access to an R33 GTST VIN and your VIN, you could also use a Nissan Parts lookup like Amayama to show them the part number is different between 33 GTST and 34 GTT which may get their attention
    • So i got reply from EBC and they just this site where you can clearly see those 296mm fronts on R34 GTT. I send them photos and "quotes" that 296mm are not for 34 GTT and they are too small. But it will be very hard to return them cuz nobody here knows 100% and they just copy those EBC catalogue :-D https://ebcbrakesdirect.com/automotive/nissan/skyline-r34
