At the risk of sounding prejudice against certain cars...

whats with all of the bad stories about cars...being about commodores and falcons?

I read the news everyday at work and this is one of the latest articles:

http://www.theaustralian.news.com.au/story...5-12377,00.html

People keep telling me i have a hoon car, but i havent really read of any skylines being crashed except for that red one...which i bet was stolen...

BUT working in a country town, everyone here loves commodores or falcons and gangs up on me because im into imports!!!

Anyone know any other stories or anything?

Or even, can show me stories in the news involving skylines or WRX's? :thumbsup:

5 minutes, hai 5!

Most commodores rear vision is impaired by a big f**k off skin/unit/show some/thor sticker, so they don't bother looking behind them any more because they can't really see. That's reflected to the rest of their driving habits, true story.

And I was going to buy a VE SSV Ute next :P

Do they make them for men yet??

It ain't only falcodores being tools. Had a 200sx infront of me on the freeway last week decide that it would be a good idea to spin his wheels, in the rain, amongst traffic, doing over the speedlimit and nearly lose it into the side of another car :)

Article from: Australian Associated Press

A P-PLATER was caught driving at 180km/h before crashing his car on the NSW north coast, police said.

Highway Patrol officers were doing speed checks on the Pacific Highway at Bonville just after 4pm (AEST) yesterday when they detected a Holden Commodore allegedly travelling at 180km/h, twice the legal speed limit for P-platers.

They followed the car, which went out of control on a sweeping bend at the top of the Lyons Road overpass off-ramp and crashed into a safety railing, police said.

Police arrested the driver, an 18-year-old from Fernmount who was uninjured in the crash.

He was taken to Coffs Harbour Police station where his P1 licence was suspended and he was charged with driving at a dangerous speed, negligent driving and exceeding the speed limit by more than 45km/h.

He is due to appear in Coffs Harbour Local Court on July 13.

I still havent seen any reports in some the same context about skylines, WRX's etc lol

"wheel-spinning continued for more than five minutes"

falcons can do 5minute burnouts now? :)

You haven't abused an EF obviously.

Yes, falcons have a rev limiter. (Bwaaaaaaaba---baaa-bbaaa---baaaaa *drop to 1* bwaaaaaaaaaaaaabababababababaa) and so on.

Can't even believe that car sold...

    • Yes the gear for the R33/34 is different, it is red and has a different number of teeth. My part didn't come with that gear though, so I don't know how many teeth are on the red one. You'd have to reuse the 260RS/R33 gear, as long as it's not destroyed.   Haha, as unfortunate as that might be it was working fine for about the first 1500km I've had the car for now.
    • Update all   thanks to the workshop manual, it lead me back to checking fuses as mentioned central locking and door open lights worked when acc was switched on. diagram attached shows two points of power 1. ACC and 2.  Batt with the later being fused (#28) I did check the fuses using a multimeter but I must have stuffed that up also. Went back and checked the batt fuse in interior fuse box and you wouldn’t believe it… a blown fuse. replaced fuse and everything is now working as it should including the climate control   thank you all with your positive insight and knowledge.    
    • Where is the warning "That this thread is super old"   I just went into a 5 year old thread, went to do a reply, and couldn't see anywhere obvious a warning of it being super old
    • Duncan is correct. Pitwork (and Toyota's own cheap brand "Drive Joy") were primarily created as brands to sell other manufacturers car parts. It would be weird if Nissan sold parts for Toyota vehicles with a Nissan logo on it, so they created Pitwork to sell parts for other brans Toyota, Honda etc. They are not the same as Nissan genuine parts, although they *do* meet Nissan's standards for replacement parts. They aren't supposed to be a substitute for genuine parts, but a cheaper alternative that is better than Ebay fake parts from you-know-where.
    • Thanks GTSBoy, much easier to work with it now it's free!
