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.

    • I read this and thought "ah! I will do this scissor jack on the tow point thing!" I just use my floor/low profile/costco jack and lift the car up by the tow hook itself, then slide jack stands under. Never thought about using scissor into floor jack combo :p
    • Well, my new WMI system took much longer to finalize. I actually missed my dyno appointment last Friday and lost my 150$ deposit. I'll be going back in the next week or two.  To sum it up. I only kept the AEM tank from my old setup. I replaced the AEM pump with a higher flow/pressure ProMeth 30GPH pump. I also swapped over to a 6AN low pressure feed line to the pump from the tank. There's also a pressure switch you cannot see on the pump high pressure line.    This is feeding 6x 200CC direct port nozzles and 1x 500CC Pre Throttle body nozzle. All fittings are Swagelok, because well why not. I also have a 300PSI pressure sensor up front.    I now have my Haltech ECU controlling everything. I start my pump with a basic relay at 5PSI and deadhead it. I then PWM a 3000CC methanol Injector to control flow starting around 10psi. The pressure switch in the trunk, along with my tank level are safeties before I ever get to 10PSI, and then I use my pressure sensor upfront as a secondary safety to cut the WMI and corrections in case the injector blocks or a line ruptures.  Wish me luck on the dyno!    
    • So, I'm back with bad news. There's no jack long enough on this planet that will reach the front subframe. If by some chance there is, it would weigh 200lb's.  I purchased a long reach jack... The damn thing weighted 120lb's and was massive. Didn't even come close, was still short at least a foot. It was a pain, but I brought it back. Next I decided HA! No problem, I'll get an Extra long reach jack. Well, I couldn't lift the box... It must have weighed 160LB's and luckily there was an open box in store. I took measurement and was still nowhere close.  Sadly I've lost hope and have accepted defeat. 
    • Thanks for that tip, niZmO_Man. I think the battery is OK. It's quite a new one, but I'll check. Last time I needed a new battery, everything electronic was fine, except that there wasn't enough current to turn over the starter. I decided to order one of the partial AV system translation CDs from Car Audio Workshop in NZ. That might have some effect, or help me diagnose the date problem. 🤞
    • I suppose it was relatively stock too, the JZ motor handle most mods thrown at them without even breaking a sweat
