sorry not about skylines but just though id share this with you guys.

pure example of why bikers die from dick heads on the road.

went on a small ride with about 6 mates on australia day, we cruised up to the beach. on our way home we were cruising down salisbury highway (in sa) we were doing the speed limit and there was four of us at this time as the other two made there way home. there was a guy pulled up on the side of the road as we rode past he pulled out and was driving behind us. All four of us took up both lanes this guy was up our ass for no reason like full on tailgating he starts flashing his high beams and everything. then without any thought he pushes his way through a samll gap between my mates missing side swiping them by bare centimetres. then we start flashing him and beeping at him. then this geek starts slaming on his brakes trying to get us to run up his ass starts flicking his cigs at us then throws a full 1.25 litre bottle of water at us missing my front wheel by inches (if i hit it i wouldve been laters). then starts swerving as if to knock us off our bike from the start of salisbury highway to the main interection. hes constantly breaking and swerving then we get to light i jump off my bike ready to rip him out his car, he pulls out a club lock tried knock with it through his window other mates boots his window i spit on him trying to get him out so i can knocj the shit out of him. then he tries to reverse over us. light turns green so we spped out of there hes in front chucks his car in reverse and tried to knock us. we speed through traffic at like 100 weaving in and out, i dont know how but he did caught up to me i didnt see him he fully cut me off and missed my front tyre by like 4 centimetres he slams on his breaks and break and swerve to the other lane he starts swerving and breaking i couldnt get past him, some lady pulls up and shows me her phone as to call the cops on me probably. so i go around her and he trys catching up but i totally flexed it out of there. i swear i was shaking like hell cos he just missed hitting me when he cut me off. just an example of a dick head on the road. you might have a go at me for retaliating but if he didint have his doors locked i wouldve ripped that fag out the car and gave him a good hit or two or 5. we did nothing wrong from the start only until he nerly side swiped us for no reason. from now on i might have to carry an extender batten on my bike

MY PET HATE = when people blatantly ignore the road rules. "Keep left unless overtaking". Even when it isnt signposted every km (ie freeway) it is still a general traffic rule.

You would have seen this guy comming up behind you, wanting to overtake.

and if we werent on the left hand side still doesnt mean you go to push through nearly clipping two guys do ya!!!!!!!!! and if you wanna start talkin about road rules why did he need to speed and what about all the other 100 road rules he broke. come on man think a bit!!!!!!!!!

if you want to be a self appointed vigilante for the road rules and 'teach people a lesson', then be prepared for a bit of backlash when you go to enforce your new found cause.

otherwise, sit back and let the wankers go.

he just had a shit lil swift

ROFL, sorry, but that is really funny, caught on a bike, in traffic by a swift, I am still laughing. that must have been one fully sick swift.

Anyways, I do think that as Pawley suggests, its pretty rude to hog the road, and I do believe its illegal too???? one of my pet hates.

If I am in the right lane, I do keep a good eye on traffic coming up and move over if I am in their way - probably because it sh1ts me sooo much when people dont move over.

BUT, I dont think it is any excuse at all for road rage - people think they have a god given right to be on the road - I dont blame him for flashing lights or hitting the horn to pass (cos I would do that if someone was hogging the road:p) but if people want to hog the road, its not my job to sort them out. I reckon that people that think they own the road will always tell you what a great driver they are and how crap everyone else is - they seem to forget they are human too and make mistakes (still hate people hogging the right lane though:p)

Next time, although you may be in the right, try just pulling over and keeping out of the idiots way, cos being right wont help you when you are in a hospital with many broken bones and possibly crippled for life. Bikes dont offer much protection, it is hard enough staying out of the way of cars that dont see you without getting them to come gunning for you. It sucks I know, but it really is easier to let dicks like that be on their way, without revving up their little pea brains.

If you are on a bike, remeber you have a perfect weapon with you. A bike helmet, if you hold on to the chinstrap close to the where it attaches, well would be ideal for self defence. Also, as it is a helmet, you can take it off to talk to someone, then if you were to use it, its a 'reflex' action, not a premeditated action like picking up a baton or a club steering lock;)

Anyways dude, glad to here no one got hurt.

Oh and vendetta, he may be braking rules, but who knows the next time you block the way of a speeding car, it may be a doctor on an emergency call, or someone going to be by the side of a dying bike crash victim? I really do think if you want to start enforcing the road traffic act, you should become a cop:D

just as the saying goes

just cause someone else is a dickhead dont you be one to.

could of caused something more serious like run over a kid just cause some guy was a wanka.

dont see why you would put yourself at risk just because of someone else.

i personally would of just pulled over called the cops let the dick pass and enjoy the rest fo your day

    • Good luck on the weekend mate
    • Must have been an absolute nightmare to drive when the power steer was out, the rack ratio/wheel size/caster is all set up for power assistance
    • Welcome to SAU, what are you looking at buying?
    • I checked the injectors again (1 and 2, since they’re easiest to access) to make sure they weren’t clogged. Even though the entire fuel system had been cleaned, I wanted to be certain. Everything looked clean, so I reinstalled and connected everything. When I started the car to confirm everything was okay, it immediately revved up high, so I shut it off straight away. I checked to see if I’d missed a vacuum hose or something, but everything was connected. On the second attempt, the car ran without the high idle, but I noticed a distinct “compressed air” sound coming from the engine bay. Tracing the sound, I pushed injector #6 forward slightly and the noise stopped — it turned out it wasn’t seated properly, despite the fuel rail being bolted down. While holding it in place, the car idled steadily without stalling and ran for over 5 minutes. At this point, I pulled all six injectors out just in case I hadn’t seated them correctly or dirt had gotten onto the O-rings. Unfortunately, I discovered that I had damaged 3 out of 6 injectors (the OEM 270cc ones) during installation. So yes, this was my fault. Since only the pintle caps were damaged, I’ve ordered a Fuel Injector Service Kit from NZEFI to refurbish them. In the meantime, I reinstalled my new injectors – the car now idles fine for over 15 minutes without stalling. I have not attempted to drive it so far. It’s not perfect yet, as it hesitates when the throttle is pressed, but it’s a big improvement. Unplugging the IACV with the new injectors idles at around 800rpm, even with the IACV screw tightened fully. But this is probably due to tune.
    • I wanted to try and preserve the front bumper as long as possible, they're not cheap and are made to order in Japan. Taking inspiration from my previous K11 Micra build where I made an undertray for the Impul bumper, I did the same for this BN Sports bumper but a little slimmed down.  This time round I only made a 'skid plate' (if that's the correct wording/term) for just the bumper surface area, the Micra version covered the gap like an undertray. Starting off with a sheet of mild steel approx. 0.9mm thick 4ft x 2ft in size. I traced around the bumper, cut it out and cleaned the edges. Luckily I was able to get two halves from one piece of metal In the video I installed it as is, but I've since then I've removed it to spray and add a rubber edging trim. The rubber trim is suitable for 1-2mm and it's a really nice tight fit. The bolts had to be loosened due to the plates being too tight against the bumper, the trim wouldn't push on I used some stainless M6 flat headed bolts for a flusher finish (rather than hex heads poking down), I believe this style fastener is used for furniture too incase you struggle to source some. The corner's are a little wider, but this may be an advantage incase I get close to bumping it  The front grill got some attention, finally getting round to repairing it. Upon removal one fixing pulled itself out of the plastic frame, one side is M8 that fixes inside of the frame, where as the other side is M5. Not knowing I could get replacements, I cut down an M8 bolt, threaded it inside the frame along with a decent amount of JB Weld.  The mesh was replaced to match the bumper. One hole on the bonnet/hood had to be drilled out to 8mm to accommodate the new stud, once the glue had set it could be refitted. I think the reason the grill was double meshed was to hide the horn/bonnet latch (which makes sense) but I much prefer it matching the bumper Bumper refitted and it's looking much better IMO The Youtube video can be seen here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bVZP35io9MA
