“Without Prejudice and/or Hypothetically speaking”

gun it down a side street, all of us have had a situation where you just gun it, its not to say its right, infact its bloody stupid, but the temptation is always there, especially when some idiot is trying to crash you. If you learn from it (which you sound you have) then thats all anyone could ask for isn't it? I'm pretty sure you know how much attention your car gets from the wrong crowd as it is, so I doubt you do many stupid things in public with that car seeing as it sticks out like dogs balls.

And who is this guy surposed to be yelling at you, like frk everyone has broken the road rules at some point includeing the old man, guess next time you see the clappadore you should accidentally walk past his car with your keys hanging out of your pocket? I try not to get worked up about road issues anymore because ive realised if they do get an opportunity to damage your car, there is nothing you can do about it so the other guy always has the last laugh, keep your cool and get him back later on where it hurts in the pocket, and he probably won't even suspect it was you.

hey guys, i own a orange r32 thats pretty bloody hard to miss, i also basically am the only one that i know of definately around my area let alone nsw, anyways getting to why i brought this thread up..

i like many skyline owners am a responsible driver that drives and does everything a responsible driver should, although i give it a hit on the freeway every now and then :)

the other night after i finished work i was on my way home when a dickhead in p plates was tail gaiting me, i did the smart thing and slowed down and i even pulled over to the side of the road to let him go past only to have him go slow in front of me hit the breaks and try an coherse me into giving my car a hit. now i have a bit of work done to the car and it has a external wastegate with a screamer that also backfires flames thanks to launch control so you can imagine how loud it sounds.

anyways i thought i have had enough of this shit and i pulled out from behind him and gave it a boot around a street and then turned down another so that i left him and he could not follow me then proceeded to go home as per usual nothing different.

today while i was at work a guy came in and went off his rocker at me about how much a f**king tool i am and driving like an idiot i am gunna kill someone ect ect, of course this made me feel sick to my stomach and utterly embaressed, and i tried to explain the situation to him but all he gave me was your just like every other yound person who thinks they can do what they want, up until this stage i was being courtesy and apologizing for my actions but when he started stero typing me with all those hoon drivers ie holden commodore p platers ect i just got mad and told him where to go, low and behold i see him later on and what car is he driving? a holden gts R8 anyways enough about my rant

basically all i am saying is its not worth it, my reputation ect got hindered because of some low life, in future i will pull over and jst let them keep driving, and i had to get if off my chest as it is eating me up inside

jeremy

what wankers nearly exactly the same thing happened to me accept in my nailing off to get away from the dick who

should be around the next bend but the cops and because i didn't think i would be driving irresponsibly i had my radar

detector off so didn't pick them up and got hit i definitely learnt my lesson after 350 and four demerits

bloody 'p' platers

      Baron's R34 GT-R build thread - car in Japan for 5 years -_-

      By BaronOBeefdip · Posted

      Back again. I returned to Japan in Jul/Aug to spend time with the car on my birthday and remind myself what all the sacrifice and compromise is for. It happened to line up with the monthly morning meet in Okutama, which I have been wanting to go to for a long time. It's a unique event at a unique spot with really rare, interesting, and quirky cars. It's where all the oldheads and OGs gather. The nighttime scene at DKF certainly has its place and should be experienced if you're into cars, but there's too much bad attention and negativity around it now. IMO the better time is Sunday morning at DKF or Okutama; it's more chill and relaxed. I'm glad I was finally able to go, but not sure it's worth the drive from all the way from Nagoya immediately the day before, unless I was already staying in Tokyo for the days right before the meet, because you have to wake up quite early to make it in time. Funnily enough though I didn't drive the car all that much this trip because it was just too damn hot. While there were zero issues and running temps were nominal and the A/C was strong, RBs already run crazy hot as it is. Sure, it took it all like a champ but something about driving these cars in the ridiculous heat/humidity bothers me and makes me feel like I'm asking too much of it. I'm just me being weird and treating the car like a living thing with feelings; I'm mechanically sympathetic to a fault. Instead I was mainly driving something else around - a KX4(silver) 2001 X-Trail GT, that I acquired in May. There's a few different flavors to choose from with Xs, but visually it's the Nissan version of the Honda CR-V. Mechanically it's a whole different story as this, being the top-trim GT, has an SR20VET mated to a four speed auto and full-time AWD! It was a very affordable buy in exceptional condition inside and out, with very low mileage...only 48k kms. Most likely it was owned by an older person who kept it garaged and well-maintained, so I'm really happy with how it all worked out. It literally needs zero attention at the moment, albeit except for some minor visual touch-ups. I wanted something quirky, interesting, and practical and for sure it handily delivers on all three of those aspects. I was immediately able to utilize the cargo and passenger capacity to it's full extent. It's a lot of fun to drive and is quite punchy through 1st and 2nd. It's very unassuming -in the twisty bits it's a lot more composed than one would think at a glance- and it'll be even better once I get better tires on it(yes, it's an SUV but still a little boat-y for my liking). So...now I have two golden-era Nissans in silver. One sports car and one that does everything else; the perfect two-car solution I think👍 The rest of the trip...I was able to turn my stressed brain off and enjoy it, although I didn't quite get to do as much as I thought. I did some interesting things, met some interesting people, and happened into some interesting situations however, that's all for another post though only if people really want to know. Project-wise, I went back to Mine's again to discuss more plans and am hoping to wrap that up real soon; keep watching this space if that interests you. Additionally, while working in the tormenting sweatbox that is the warehouse, I was able to organize most of the myriad of parts that my friend is storing for me along with the cars, and the 34 has a nice little spot carved out for it: And since it can get so damn hot in there, that made it all the more easy to remove all the damn gauges that have mostly been an eyesore all this time. Huzzah. I was standing there looking at the car and said 'f**k it'. The heat basically makes the adhesive backing on the gauge mounts more pliable to work with, so it was far less stressful getting this done. I didn't fully clean it up or chase the wiring though; that will happen once I have the car in closer possession. Another major reason to remove all that stuff is to give people less reasons to get in my car and steal s**t while it's being exported/imported when/if the time comes, which leads us to my next point... ...and that is even though it's time in Japan is technically almost up since it's a November car and the X would be coming in March, I'm still not entirely sure where my life and career is headed; I don't really know what the future looks like and where I'm going to end up. I feel there's a great deal of uncertainty with me and as a result of that, it feels like I'm at a crossroads moreso now than any point in my life thus far and there are some choices I need to make. Yes, I've had some years to consider things and prepare myself, however too much has happened in that time to maintain confidence and everything feels so up in the air; tenuous one might say. Simply put, there's just too much nonsense going on right now from multiple vectors. Admittedly, I'm struggling to stay in the game and keep my eyes on the prize. So much so in fact, that very recently I came the closest I ever have before to calling it quits outright; selling everything and moving on and not looking back. The astute among you will pick up on key subtext within this paragraph. In the meantime I've still managed to slowly acquire some final bits for the car, but it feels nice knowing there's not much left to get and I'm almost across that finish line; I have almost everything I'll ever want for my interpretation and expression on what it is I think an R34 should be. 'til later.

      Thanks for that, hadn’t used my brain enough to think about that.

      R33 GTR running -9 with no tune

      Also playing with fire if they start to flow more air down low than what the stock twins can. It's not even up top you need to worry, it can be at 3000rpm and part throttle and it's getting way more flow than it should.

      You still want a proper tune on the stock ECU though. Stock tune + stock ECU with GT-SS/-9s is probably playing with fire if you're running more than stock airflow/power.
