Last night 3 little sh1ts (aged: 12, 8, 7 - approx) rang my doorbell. My wife calls me over and says 3 kids wanna wash your car....

I go outside and these 3 little sh1ts are asking me if its turbo, what top speed is, blah, blah blah....

Then they start BEGGING me to let them wash it! They kept going on and on!

Then one of them looks at the speedo and says: "It only goes to 180, my mums commodore is faster coz it goes to 220", and I p1ssed myself.

I had to put it in the garage coz they wouldn't go away!

Love pulling up next to try hards, example...gemini's with 3" tips and HSV stickers or just tossers with ricey stickers all over little shit heaps.(how can people not realise that shit just looks gay?)

If they have a girl in the passenger seat my favourite call is "How much for ya missus" and wave a five buck note.

i was the p plater in the r33 that the old yob in the f100 yelled"rich boys die young"

the funny thing was i was with about 4 other p platers in cars that cost 3 or 4 times what mine did.

i love yobos they have no idea

Every time I read this thread it CRACKS me up and I am still smiling for hours afterwards!!!

I don't so much get anything said to me but what I do cop is lots of attitude -

Firstly cos I am an oldie and secondly cos I am a woman and thirdly becuase I own a Skyline. I am FOREVER getting wankers in Celicas, V6 Commondores et. al. wanted to have a go at me...You can see them thinking "Oh s... a Skyline! Oh s... a WOMAN! OMG she's OLD" - then I drop the clutch and go for it...... :D:D

Most of the time I don't bother and that is the worst because you can sense their self-satisfaction BUT every now and then I let fly - to see the look on their faces is better than priceless!!!!!!!!!!!!

For Gawd's sake a week or so back I even had a guy in a little Toyota WORK TRUCK trying to have a go at me. Puuhlease... :headspin: :headspin:

I think its a common drawback of owning a skyline, you get everyone falcodore wanting to drag you. i get them all the time, i just get to 60/80 as fast as i can, then stay there. tey make it there duty to do the loser flyby with their hands out the window either thumbs up or birdies. i value my licence and car too much to go speeding through the city.

i've only just moved into a new place, and there's a guy up the road with a WRX, he makes it his duty to drive past my place every night whenever i've left my car out the front to rev his car as he goes past.

I've even had some guy in the city (drunk) say, "i wasn't pissing on your car mate, i'd never do that to a skyline, its too cool, is that a GTR? make it drift, bag it up mate, do some nuts" yeah, ill do that with cops across the road watching my every move.

and if i pass someone on the road coz they're going slower than posted speed limit, they speed up and drive past me staring. its disturbing sometimes.

after drilling a VS SS with some work done in a stock looking mr30 4 door with (at the time) standard 14" rims, the woggy dude open his window and says:

"thats not standard"

i laughed but he was cool, the first and only time i ever did over a V8 and the dude was impressed

had a teenager in a vs want to have ago.............

after i handed him his arse he pulled up and asked me how much i payed

:(

I pulled alongside an Evo 6 one time in my Fiesta and thought i'd try to beat him off the lights for a laugh.

I nodded at him, lights turned and i did the best start i've ever done. Then he must have done the earliest, slowest shift ever because i started to get away from him, then we reached 60 and kept it there. I couldn't believe it!

His girlfriend sat next to him was scowling the whole time as i moved into his lane after the drag. Maybe it was because i won, maybe it was because he had raced, i don't know.

I know that any fool in an Evo can beat a Fiesta so the guy probably wasn't too bothered about racing me.

I think its a common drawback of owning a skyline.

It's the same with any performance car mate.

With my dad's Ultima GTR it used to worry him because he'd over take kids in

xr3is and other cheap 150+bhp cars and they'd try to keep up with him round the corners and stuff. My dad was worried that those types of people are the ones that end up killing other people due to their bad driving.

It was funny one time when he was on a motorway and he came up behind an Aston Martin DB7, so the DB7 went for it accelerating up to top speed as quickly as possible, so my dad stayed with him, the DB7 hit top speed and pulled into the next lane and my dad went sailing past him. At least the DB7 flashed his lights in acknowledgement.

    • So stock ECU does not like anything above 10 psi?  That Nistune one is just for "try" if it will be any different, I know it need to be tune for that. I know but YOU may know about these problem but i/we dont. They few little Skylines here let alone people who know anything about tham so that is why iam asking here  
    • So now we have a radiator with no attachments whatsoever. It lifts up with a particularly tight spot between the drivers side air box mount and the lower radiator outlet, but if you've got this far you will sort that too. This is the lower mounts with the rad out so you can see where the rubber bushes go, it is a straight shot upwards Done! Assembly is the reverse of disassembly, with blood less likely to be shed.
    • Right, onto the second last trick. The Air Con condenser is mounted to the front of the radiator and stays in the car when the radiator is removed. There are 2x 10mm headed self tappers holding the top of the condenser to the radiator, remove those The bottom of the condenser is attached to the radiator with clips. You need to lift the condenser out of those clips and clear (up, then forward). f**ked if  could work out how to do that last bit with the front bumper on. I hope you can, and you share the trick.  Bumper removal probably deserves its own thread one day once I've recovered the will to live, but basically you need to remove the wheels, front inner guard liners (clips and 10mm headed bolts), the self tapper between the guard and the bumper at the rearmost point of the bumper (same as an R32 that bit), any remaining clips at the top/front of the grill, an absolute bastard design with a plate that holds the top of the bumper above the headlight each side (only 1 bolt which is tricky to get to, but the plate catches 2 places on the bumper and must be removed....carefully!) and push clips between the bumper and guard under the headlight. If you've done all that you will be faced with wiring for the fog lights on both sides and in ADM Q50 RS at least, 4 nasty tight plugs on the driver's side for the ADAS stuff. So, the clips at the bottom look like this on drivers side (looking from the front) And on the passenger side (also from the front), you can see this one is already out Clearance on both of these are super tight; the condenser needs to move up but the upper rad support mount prevents that, and the radiator can't move down far because it is (rubber) mounted. Once you achieve the impossible and drop the condenser off those mounts so it does not stop the rad moving, you are good to go
    • OK, next the shroud needs to come off and there are a couple of tricks. Firstly, there is a loom from near the passenger side headlight to the fans, coolant temp sensor etc and there is no plug to undo.  In my case I was OK to leave the shroud on top of the engine so I just undid the passenger side fan plug and about 10 of the clips which gave enough free wire to put it aside. The fan plugs were super tight, the trick I used was a small falt screwdriver to push down on the release tab, then a larger flat screwdriver to lever the plug out of the fan unit....be careful with how much force you apply! If you need to remove the shroud altogether for some reason you will have to deal with all the plugs (tight) and clips (brittle)....good luck. I removed all of the clips and replaced them with cable ties that I will just cut next time. Also, in the Red Sport / 400R at least, the intake heat exchanger reservoir hose is bolted to the shroud in 2 places with 10mm headed bolts; so remove them (the hose stays in the car; no need to undo it at the t fittings down at the radiator lower mount. Once you've dealt with the HX hose and the wiring loom, there are 3x 10mm headed self tappers holding the top of the shroud to the radiator; remove those.   The shroud then lifts out of the bottom mounts where it sits on the radiator, up and onto the engine out of the way. Simples
    • Ok, disregard my “rate them” comment, sorry for my unrealistic input
