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.

    • Thanks for that, I'll check it all out. I can always do the brakes last anyway if its a problem.  The 16's are super cool, if they do fit I'll cruise around with them for a bit.  
    • Well, that's kinda the point. The calipers might interfere with the inside of the barrels 16" rims are only about 14" inside the barrels, which is ~350mm, and 334mm rotors only leave about 8mm outboard for the caliper before you get to 350, And.... that;s not gunna be enough. If the rims have a larger ID than that, you might sneak it in. I'd be putting a measuring stick inside the wheel and eyeballing the extra required for the caliper outboard of the rotor before committing to bolting it all on.
    • OK, so again it has been a bit of a break but it was around researching what had been done since I didn't have access to Neil's records and not everything is obvious without pulling stuff apart. Happily the guy who assembled the engine had kept reasonable records, so we now know the final spec is: Bottom end: Standard block and crank Ross 86.5mm forgies, 9:1 compression Spool forged rods Standard main bolts Oil pump Spool billet gears in standard housing Aeroflow extended and baffled sump Head Freshly rebuilt standard head with new 80lb valve springs Mild porting/port match Head oil feed restrictor VCT disabled Tighe 805C reground cams (255 duration, 8.93 lift)  Adjustable cam gears on inlet/exhaust Standard head bolts, gasket not confirmed but assumed MLS External 555cc Nismo injectors Z32 AFM Bosch 023 Intank fuel pump Garret 2871 (factory housings and manifold) Hypertune FFP plenum with standard throttle   Time to book in a trip to Unigroup
    • I forgot about my shiny new plates!
    • Well, apparently they do fit, however this wont be a problem if not because the car will be stationary while i do the suspension work. I was just going to use the 16's to roll the old girl around if I needed to. I just need to get the E90 back on the road first. Yes! I'm a believer! 🙌 So, I contacted them because the site kinda sucks and I was really confused about what I'd need. They put together a package for me and because I was spraying all the seat surfaces and not doing spot fixes I decided not to send them a headrest to colour match, I just used their colour on file (and it was spot on).  I got some heavy duty cleaner, 1L of colour, a small bottle of dye hardener and a small bottle of the dye top coat. I also got a spray gun as I needed a larger nozzle than the gun I had and it was only $40 extra. From memory the total was ~$450 ish. Its not cheap but the result is awesome. They did add repair bits and pieces to the quote originally and the cost came down significantly when I said I didn't need any repair products. I did it over a weekend. The only issues I had were my own; I forgot to mix the hardener into the dye two coats but I had enough dye for 2 more coats with the hardener. I also just used up all the dye because why not and i rushed the last coat which gave me some runs. Thankfully the runs are under the headrests. The gun pattern wasn't great, very round and would have been better if it was a line. It made it a little tricky to get consistent coverage and I think having done the extra coats probably helped conceal any coverage issues. I contacted them again a few months later so I could get our X5 done (who the f**k thought white leather was a good idea for a family car?!) and they said they had some training to do in Sydney and I could get a reduced rate on the leather fix in the X5 if I let them demo their product on our car. So I agreed. When I took Bec in the E39 to pick it up, I showed them the job I'd done in my car and they were all (students included) really impressed. Note that they said the runs I created could be fixed easily at the time with a brush or an air compressor gun. So, now with the two cars done I can absolutely recommend Colourlock.  I'll take pics of both interiors and create a new thread.
