I never have an issue... If it's a nice V8 or other car beside me I give the appreciation nod and we both just cruise off...

Last guy who went to plant it stopped as soon as it started to spool and then fluttered massively from 2nd to 3rd... He looked over with a "I would have bitten off more then I can chew"

But other then that... I only really got it from people I actually egged on, half the people who tear off at lights AREN'T trying to race you... I take off quck all the time in the work Jazz... I'm just driving normally

if sumone wants me to drag them i normally just rev the car up and then let them do whatever they have to do when the lights go green, and i just sit there and watch them then i move hahaha

But your car would so fast with the NOS and the big rims, and body kit and those awesome Vinyls!

Oh, but you've got dodgy knock sensors hey?

Tehehehehe...

I wonder If you were the 300zx that I sorta raced last week.   He gave it some so I just rolled on about 3/4 throttle on the bike in fourth and tore away.

If it was me i wasn't racing, im not quite stupid enough to go up against a bike.

i must say i'm guilty of doing this. had a NA 33 next to me at the lights the other day when i was in the missus SSS pulsar. light went green and i took off not fast, but not like a grandma. heard the skyline take off hard and the nose start to move past mine so i floored it and watched the front of the skyline stop moving foward then start to slowly move backwards. then we both lifted off at 60kmh and he seemed to drop right back. the missus was in the car and found it rather amusing.

also had a run with a r32 gts-t in the pulsar. the 32 was in front of me though and they took of hard so i just floored it to see how the pulsar went compared to the rb20 turbo. it was only just pulling away. but again, it was only up to 60kmh before lifting off.

back when i had my gts-t i had more encounters with commodores wanting to race, but pretty much anytime an import was up against me they would try to race me. so if you put it into terms of % of cars wanting to race, imports were about 98%, commodores about 20%.

oh and 131kw in a 1450kg car isn't exactly a lot. you would find that a lot of magna's ect would actually beat you as they would have about the same power but in a slightly lighter car. my first magna had been thrashed and it still had 127kw. but there are plenty out there in better condition with well over 130kw. there are quite a few with just an exhaust putting out around 135kw at the wheels.

yeah no one is,   except other bikes and since I cant ride for shit I lose and its no fun. :)

i did in my 180sx once, but it was my mate on the bike, so i didn't mind watching him disapear into the distance, LOL

yeah no one is,   except other bikes and since I cant ride for shit I lose and its no fun. :blush:

I do...

250cc bikes get minced... And rolling runs against 600CC sports bikes is priceless when they look back and they've only pulled around 2 car lengths on you...

Then the harleys... They're like racing Excels...

But haven't ran anyone like that in AGES... Maybe I should go for a drive? :)

Well no magna i've come across has been able to "beat me" as of yet. I never exactly said it was the fastest P plater car but it is pretty quick for an NA. Hell a mates standard R33 GTSt (catback,pod) can only get half a car on me, but he isn't exactly the best driver. In any case can't wait till i go ported plenum w/ SR20 TB's, Extractors&frontpipes Done and a proper tune.

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....

Too true, had mine 8 months and no one wanted to drag me, although.....

My mate and I (Black R34 GTT) were cruising home on a main highway and this bright green FPV GT-P comes up alongside me at about 80kmh, looks across for about a sec, then keeps going to my mate in front with the GTT. After that, all I hear is the FPV revving its tits off LOL.

I think he got scared of the GTR badge :)

You both drive GTR's, when both of you come across a big hp supra on the highway, you'll know its karma catching up! :) JOKING! :D

I use to get it a bit with my first car (fto.. sporty looking i guess) but the v35 gets no attention at all, it's great! I've owned it for 1 1/2 years now and i honestly can't think of one time where some random tried to start a drag.

Oh crap spoke too soon, ok once in 1 1/2 years still ain't bad right. Stupid aurion..

Though i don't drive it much these days as i've kept it for a weekender (and hardly at that, quite sad).

I guess the fact that some people don't consider the V's as proper skylines coupled with the fact that Skylines are famous upto and including the R34 shape helps as well...no one really knows what the V is, or cares lol.

300zx's are heavy bastards, my mate had a n/a z32 which got flogged by my ratty old beater r31, i was quite surprised.

Yeah they are heavy as shit, the 4 seater Targa tops especially they're like 1520kg for the N/A Variant.

I'm glad you've finally learnt when I'm having a dig at you... LOL

:(

i must say i'm guilty of doing this.

id say we have all been guilty of this at some stage.........

i can honestly say ive never taken on anyone at the traffic lights in my r34, i dont take off like a grandma or anything usually just in between.

when going to work and home there are a couple roundabouts where you slow down from 100km/h and then speed back up to 100km/h and they are double lanes, and thats when i get some people try to outbrake and speed past me, one of them being a golf gti and it was the same guy at the same spot in the same situation 3 days in a row it was crazy, he is very pushy and constantly chaning lanes trying to get ahead and cutting people off but the 3 times he caught up to me on the inside lane trying to pass me at the roundabout he couldnt and he would begin tailgating me because he couldnt get past. then it goes double lanes again up further and i just let him go with a smile on my face lol it was hilarious.

    • Place the new daughterboard in the case and mount it using the 3 small black rivets provided, and reconnect the 3 factory ribbon cables to the new board Then, use the 3 piggyback cables from the daughterboard into the factory board on top (there are stand offs in the case to keep them apart. and remember to reconnect the antenna and rear cover fan wires. 1 screw to hold the motherboard in place. Before closing the case, make a hole in the sticker covering a hole in the case and run the cable for the android unit into the plug there. The video forgot this step, so did I, so will you probably. Then redo the 4 screws on back, 2 each top and bottom, 3 each side and put the 2 brackets back on.....all ready to go and not that tricky really.      
    • Onto the android unit. You need to remove the top screen because there is a daughterboard to put inside the case. Each side vent pops out from clips; start at the bottom and carefully remove upwards (use a trim remover tool to avoid breaking anything). Then the lower screen and controls come out, 4 screws, a couple of clips (including 3 flimsy ones at the top) and 3 plugs on the rear. Then the upper screen, 4 screws and a bunch of plugs and she is out. From there, remove the mounting brackets (2 screws each), 4 screws on the rear, 2 screws top and bottom and 3 screws holding in the small plates on each side. When you remove the back cover (tight fit), watch out for the power cable for the fan, I removed it so I could put the back aside. The mainboard is held in by 1 screw in the middle, 1 aerial at the top and 3 ribbon cables. If you've ever done any laptop stuff the ribbon cables are OK to work with, just pop up the retainer and they slide out. If you are not familiar just grab a 12 year old from an iphone factory, they will know how it works The case should now look like this:
    • Switching the console was tricky. First there were 6 screws to remove, and also the little adapter loom and its screws had to come out. Also don't forget to remove the 2 screws holding the central locking receiver. Then there are 4 clips on either side....these were very tight in this case and needed careful persuading with a long flat screw driver....some force required but not enough to break them...this was probably the fiddliest part of the whole job. In my case I needed both the wiring loom and the central locking receiver module to swap across to the new one. That was it for the console, so "assembly is the reverse of disassembly"
    • But first....while I was there, I also swapped across the centre console box for the other style where the AV inputs don't intrude into the (very limited !) space.  Part# was 96926-4GA0A, 284H3-4GA0B, 284H3-4GA0A. (I've already swapped the top 12v socket for a USB bulkhead in this pic, it fit the hole without modification:) Comparison of the 2: Basically to do the console you need to remove the DS and PS side console trim (they slide up and back, held in by clips only) Then remove the back half of the console top trim with the cupholders, pops up, all clips again but be careful at the front as it is pretty flimsy. Then slide the shifter boot down, remove the spring clip, loose it forever somewhere in the car the pull the shift knob off. Remove the tiny plastic piece on DS near "P" and use something thin and long (most screwdrivers won't fit) to push down the interlock and put the shifter down in D for space. There is one screw at the front, then the shifter surround and ashtray lift up. There are 3 or 4 plugs underneath and it is off. Next is the rear cover of the centre console; you need to open the console lid, pop off the trim covering the lid hinge and undo the 2rd screw from the driver's side (the rest all need to come out later so you can do them all now and remove the lid) Then the rear cover unclips (6 clips), start at the top with a trim tool pulling backwards. Once it is off there are 2 screws facing rearwards to remove (need a short phillips for these) and you are done with the rear of the console. There are 4 plugs at the A/V box to unclip Then there are 2 screws at the front of the console, and 2 clips (pull up and back) and the console will come out.
    • So, a bit of a side trip, but one that might be interesting for people with JDM cars and japanese head units. I know @Pac previously posted about a carplay/android auto adapter he installed which used the AUX input, and @V35_Paul put in one of the Tesla style units that replace both screens. The option I went with was a Lsait LLT-YF-VER5.87_2 (https://www.alibaba.com/product-detail/Lsailt-8GB-Android-Multimedia-Interface-for_1601187633672.html). Price was $1,150 for a single unit although they are much cheaper if you are willing to buy 2....$857ea. Make you you get the version 2 not version 1, it is faster and has a better UI - this is the manufacturer listing: http://www.lsailt.com/product/348.html. BTW if you've never bought from Alibaba before, don't be concerned....these guys can't stay in business unless they are responsive, ship fast etc, they were excellent (probably faster shipping than most local places) So, this was my task for a lazy Sat afternoon....looks complex but was all done in a few hours (it probably helps that I had some of it apart before so it was a bit familiar). I also decided to add a HD USB drive recorded at the same time and the unit also supports an aftermarket reverse cam (if you don't want to retain factory) and also AV in and HDMI out It looks much worse than it is, in fact in was genuinely all plug and play (no custom wiring at all). This video was pretty good (skipped a few steps), unfortunately they are an Aussie seller but no longer sell this unit (I guess Carplay/AA adapters are easier to install and much cheaper) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T5hJfYOB8Dg
