Ever since i got my 300ZX, i kid you not, i have had someone try to drag me at every second set of lights. It's mostly wankers in V6 commodores that think they are michael shumacher but i have had others, including older people like an old woman in a mazda 6. So tell me do you skyline boys get the same treatment?

If ppl pull up next to me at the lights, I don't bother looking at them and stare off at what ever is in front of me and when the lights turn green I drive off at my own pace.

If they speed off that's up to them, but mostly ppl have been letting me go first, again just drive off at my own pace.

yeah i went from owning a modded commodore to now a basic R34 skyline.. and every1 wants to freakin drag!!!

but as said above mainly the commos and p platers... its really annoying lol

occasionally ill see another jap car that wants to put it down but its not as common as the commo's/common p platers

^^ LOL!

I have had all sorts drag me at the lights... Range Rovers, BMW 318i's, Commos, Falcons...

VW, Ford Territories, Mitsubishi Magnas etc. Chasing after me down the freeway...

You just wonder, if they really have to prove that they are faster...

Lol. Yes they do have to prove it. They have a lot more chance on the street when were not interested then on the track when we are.

At first when i got my 33 i noticed lots of people looking my direction then planting it. Lately i havent noticed it nearly as much as i used to. Had the window down at night time one night at a set of lights and got asked to race for pinks. I just looked at em (p platers in a camry or apollo or something similar) and couldnt be bothered even thinking up a smart reply.

As mentioned above. I do the same, any set of traffic lights put on the deep stare into the distance as far away from the car next to me as possible.

Why would they think that they're Michael Schumacher? Schmacher doesn't drag race.

i dont know where you guys live but i dont get anyone. very rarely i might get some people at the lights or sit up my arse ( but its easy to get rid of them, just a tap of the brake). and if a car is up my arse its always a bmw x5 lately. i hate them and the drivers, they are very pushy.

the drivers arent trying to be like michael schumacher they are trying to be paul walker.

haha it seems obvious to me, so they can say they 'beat' a skyline, like any skyline is some mythical race car. I wouldnt be giving in to temptation if I had an N/A, it could lead to shame and smartarse comments from bogans lol

Well my 300ZX is 131rwkw so it's not slow by any means.

Oh yea man all the time!

It sux really cause sometimes these wankers almost cause accidents. Like today, Almost 3 times!. Its amazing, why on earth they try to race u when ur driving normally. Ive come to the conclusion because of the angry note of the RB, they think your giving it more than you really are... who knows. I think with alot of the bogans however its all Bragging rights.

happens all the time.

i just flutter or gate them as i go past :(

Agreed... spool normally makes them shutup... some makes them more wild... but then if u do it a few more times they realize ur not going to do it... and fang off to the next "super" drag race against a magna..

And most of those cars you named would be quicker than an N/A skyline to begin with lol

I don't know what it is, but I've had my skyline for a year and a half and no one around here is game enough to line up with me! I'm yet to have a v8 commodore driver sit up to the line with me yet, they all seem to want to sit a car length back....

Ford Territory, Range Rover and BMW 318i is faster then a N/A Skyline?

BTW he has a 300ZX.

      Nissan fuga 450gt android screen

      That still isn't a lot to go on. I don't have a Y50 Fuga Head Unit wiring diagram. I can say that a lot of nissans of that age shared head unit plugs, so if you are in Australia something like this would probably help: https://aerpro.com/app091# You plug that into the car loom, then either plug the head unit ISO into that (if it has ISO), or you buy and ISO adapter harness that you wire in. Bit of stuffing around, but once you have ISO its easy to change things in future.

      just an update to this, poor man pays twice  Tried sanding down the pulleys but it didnt do the trick. Chucked another second hand alternator in the na car which I got for free off my mate and its fixed the squelling. Must have been unlucky with the bearings.    As for my turbo car, I managed to pick up a cwc rb alternator conversion bracket + LS alternator for 250 off marketplace, looked to be in really good nick. Installed it , started the car and its not charging the battery.... ( Im not good with auto elec stuff so im not sure if this was all I needed to do but I verified such by using a multimeter on the battery when the engine was running and I was only getting 12.2v )   I had to modify the earth strap for the new LS alternator , factory earth strap was a 10mm bolt which did not fit the bolt on the LS alternator which was double the size so I cut it off , went to repco bought some ring terminals that fit, crimped it onto the old earth strap and bolted it up to the alternator , started the car and same issue. Ran like shit and was reading 12.2 at the battery.  For a "plug and play" advertised kit thats not very plug and play but alas.  My question is , am I missing something ? Ive been reading that some people recommend upgrading the stock 80 amp alternator fuse to a 140 amp but I dont see how that would stop the alternator charging especially at idle not under load.  Regardless ive pulled it out and am going to get it bench tested by an auto elec tomorrow but it would be handy to know if ive missed something silly or have done something wrong.

      My wild guess is that you have popped off an intake pipe....check all of the hoses between the turbo and the throttle for splits or loose clamps.
