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.

    • Drain it. I got official Matic D but you can get whatever is listed as Matic D compatible.
    • Thanks guys,  Yeah I should at least have them dynoed, at least then I know what I've got as a starting point.  The springs on these are hard as rocks. I vaguely remember Russman saying he was going to sell the shocks to me with the rocks fitted, as he was keeping the softer springs for his new setup.  I didn't click at the time but of course that was to let me know the shock/spring wouldn't be matched.  I also remember pricing up new springs around 2014-15, but, house, money etc. it never happened. So that was another reason to have them rebuilt. I have rebuilt the forks on many motorcycles so I think I could handle the seals on these easily enough, but getting the valving right would be a rabbit hole I cbf exploring.  Duncan, interesting to hear RP was tuning these back then. I might give them a call.  In the mean time I have been busy fitting sway bars. The Whiteline rear sway bar I purchased 15 years ago finally got fitted, along with the Whiteline front bar that showed up last week. Just waiting on new links for the front sway bar to finish that off.  And my spare set of advan AVS VS5's should be back from the powder coaters in a Pearl White finish sometime this week, with a set of Hankook RS4's lined up for fitting.  And then I just have all the suspension bushes to do. A comprehensive kit is on the way... Lots to do before the Ararat hill climb. Cheers guys 🍻   
    • Nice car! I’m glad folks in the US have gotten past the FnF and are buying real cool cars like the 260RS I was with a bunch of mates in Portland about a year ago and spotted a green Stagea (just a regular 2.5T AWD) parked about 2 blocks away and they were like “a what?” So I made a bet with them for a round of beers and said “ok one of you run down there and tell me if the steering wheel is on the correct side” 5 mins later the American comes trudging back up the hill and goes “he’s right guys. Ok what beer do you want?”
    • Should replace OR drop the tank, give it's good clean. Might be worth replacing that entire fuel level/pump/cradle thing with this: https://frenchysperformancegarage.com/products/fpg-s13-180sx-r32gtst-single-pump-hanger-kit-billet-hat-6-v3-fpg-089?gQT=2
