i see your point,but it was only then that there was space in front of me.and with being almost alongside another car,with the extra lane ending,i was doing the right thing.i shouldn't have to speed to allow someone with inconsistent driving to pass and cause more chaos.i think a good general rule is,if someone in front of you is doing nothing wrong,and breaking no laws,then it's not up to people to decide to risk accidents for a car length or two.sure,you can 'want' to pass,doesn't mean you have the right to fark people round because you're impatient.when i got caught behind a guy the other day doin 60 in an 80,yeah i was a bit peeved.and when i eventually passed him,without causing any trouble to anyone,and not speeding,i noticed that his texting while driving was causing his inability to keep with the traffic.is it my job to teach him a lesson?last time i checked i didn't carry a badge,nor gun.i agree that sometimes we are all unnessarily held up by someone who seems to have other things on their mind.and we are naturally going to be a bit pee'd off.but when there's a reason,that's when it's warranted.not just because you 'wanna be in front' that's just childish.

ahh yeah,that would apply to all drivers yeah??oh and the police have said directly to myself,that after 90kph,you can be in any lane you like.before 90,you must keep to the left unless overtaking.at odds with what r.a.c. said a few issues of horizons ago.which was opposite to what the the cops said.of course i'd go with what the cops said but weird for rac to get this wrong,specially as it was an answer to a readers question regarding said topic.all good.happy days :cheers:

regardless, even if it isnt always technically illegal your always supposed to keep left unless overtaking. if everyone followed that simple rule there'd be a hell of a lot less road rage on WA roads

To all my fellow Skyline brothers take care of your car as there will always be dick head commodore drivers on the road willing to challenge us, all we can do is make sure our engines are up for a challenge by modifying them, and smokin these guys at the lights and putting them to shame for choosing the wrong car.

I found that if I ignore them, they get tired of it (since bogans are not known to have long attention spans)& just zoom past & f**k off real quick...

Usually as they get in front they will pull some retarded shit in front of you (by locking up their wheels etc) to declare some race victory.

& every time they do that I secretly pray that they f**k it up & crash into a tree, but so far no luck yet.

Slightly off topic, but when the traffic book states that you must stop & render assistance to a car accident if you are the 1st one at the scene, does that mean you have to get out to help or can you just call the ambulance/police, wait in your car until they arrive at the scene?

Since if some bogan dick was trying to race me & he crashes, all I'm thinking of doing is call the cops/ambulance & when they arrive I will gladly tell them "that I'm only doing this because it is required by law & I couldn't care less if this douche dies or becomes a vegetable for life"

EDIT: actually scrap that, I do care if he ends up as a vegetable for life, that means my tax $$$ will goes towards keeping that douche alive... f**k that!

hey jonno,read the pdf,means the cops were wrong in what they were doing and what they said to me.i accused them of playing games behind me.they were frequently changing lanes behind me,trying to egg me on.plus i knew it was them as they had just pulled someone over earlier and i saw them on side of the road.silver xr6 turbo.they said they were allowed in that lane.i suppose it suited them to say whatever they liked to me.will remember that next time they play games.:thumbsup:

i havnt read any of these posts yet.. just came across the topic.. had a quick glimps at the pics an sorry to see..

pretty unfortunate..

BUT

the tittle of this topic really grinds my gears..

should be tittled pharcking idiots on the road..

no matter what make of car you drive you will always come across someone who thinks they have the rite to tell you its a hunk of junk an some just take it too far..

but the battle between imports an v8's an holden an ford an shit is f**ken rediculous!!!

horsepower is horsepower no matter how it comes..

think of it this way.. decent people that drive skylines hate how people see us an judge us coz of the few dicks that also drive them.. same goes for holden, ford, toyyota, VOLVO for christ sake..

dick heads are just dick heads in general but stereo typing holden drivers is no different to people stereo typing us!!!

Sheeit ive been tailgated whilst driving (at the speed limit)in the left lane of a two lane road. . .and the other lane was empty, back in my younger days that happened once and i sped up a bit to put more distance tween me and the other car. . . on came the disco lights, farkn unmarked cop car! lesson learned so now i just ignore the tailgaters and lettem go around me

keep left unless overtaking (which is the law) and you wont have any troubles :thumbsup:

ahh,yeah,late reply,i was overtaking.car in left lane was doing ten under the limit.they only got a move on when i was passing them,which is when commo driver decided he wanted some overtaking action aswell.no disrespect to commo drivers who don't fark with people.just a hint jonno,i been driving for almost 20 years and i know the laws,don't think that what you read on here is all the info available,its just all the info people are bothered to write.plus,i saw this guy again two weels after said incident.he weaved in and out of traffic,cutting off four or five cars,then just sat in front of them.all well and good to criticise,but if you aint there,you don't the full story.and i agree with above,wonkers come in all cars,you just gotta not be one yourself.

Well,you see sonny jimbo,back in my day(assume old man voice),they taught us punctuation...and stuff and shit.sorry jonno,oh son of rajab of the forum keyboard.thou who permeates every thread.your experience on the roads,and time behind a pc obviously supercedes mine,so go forth,and wreak havok on those who would disturb your keyboard kingdom.sire....

Well correct punctuation requires a space after said punctuation, so if ur gonna try and be a smart ass, get it right ur self, or u'll like a bigger dick then u already do

oh o,more interweb police.i love this.you get misinterpreted.then misjudged,by all these perfect people on the web.it's awesome that i'm only on here when my life doesn't get in the way.but hey,if you feel the need to gang up and do the pack mentality thing,then go right ahead.and i thought it was only the american forums that were like this...i was wrong.and the smartass thing?seems like more than one playing that game.more the merrier.:nyaanyaa:

Well correct punctuation requires a space after said punctuation, so if ur gonna try and be a smart ass, get it right ur self, or u'll like a bigger dick then u already do

Never had a run in while driving my skyline, but when I had my 180sx I had a couple of good ones.

First one was being tailgated on a single lane section of road. Guy was right up my ass, yelling and waving his hands trying to tell me to get out of the way. It was a 60 zone and I was doing a bit above that. Further ahead the road became double lanes and about 50m before then I caught up to the guy in front of me. I chose the right hand lane while the guy in front of me went in to the left. I dropped back so that I was sitting behind the the guy in the left lane, but not leaving enough room for the bogan commodore driver behind me to get past us. He pulled up and started abusing me, typical rubbish telling me to pull over to fight him etc. I grabbed a whole handful of silver coins out of my center console and hurled them at his car, downshifted and planted my foot on the accelerator.

Second occassion was on the freeway with four lanes of traffic. The three lanes on the left hand were going about 90 and I got into the furtherest right lane and was sitting on 110. I looked in my rear view mirror and watched this guy in a Jag come flying up from out of nowhere. He must have been doing over 150 because of how quick he came up behind me. Same stupid thing, honking, flashing his lights, yelling, waving his fists to get me to pull over. I ignored him and sat on 110 for about ten minutes. During that time he must have tried to get past me about half a dozen times, getting into the left lane and trying to get ahead. It never worked for him, he kept getting caught up in the traffic and ending up behind me again. Finally he got beside me and swerved at me a number of times, trying to run me off the road. Then he pulled in front of me and slammed on his brakes. I had already been slowing down to give myself some room from this looney luckily, so I stopped about 4m behind his car. Traffic in the other 3 lanes still going at 90 so I couldnt just switch lanes and take off. Then this guy gets out, some huge islander guy carrying a little metal bat. I was really running out of options as the guy approached me. There was a fairly wide shoulder on my right, enough to get a car down, but that's where this idiot was walking towards my car. I decided stuff it, if it was going to him or me, I'd rather it was him. I put my foot down on the accelerator, started feeding the clutch out and just hoping that he would get out of my way. The guy shit his pants and jumped onto his car to get out of the way as I came screaming past. I lost sight of him in the rear view as he was getting back in his car, never saw him again.

    • You just need to remove the compressor housing, not the entire turbo. I would not be drilling and tapping anything with the housing still on anyways. 
    • So, I put my boat on a boat. First of all, I'm going to come out and say it. Why is Tasmania not considered a holy goal, an apex that all road-legal modified cars go to, to experience? This place is an absolute wonderland of titanic proportions. If people are already getting club runs for once in a lifetime 30 person cruises to Tassy then I've never seemed to see it. It is like someone replaced the entire place with an idyllic wonderland for cars, and all of the people living there with paid actors who are kind, humble, and friendly. Dear god. After doing a lap of almost all of the place I've found that it's a great way to find out all of the little things that the car isn't doing quite right and a great way to figure it all out. All in all, I drove for 4 hours a day for a week and nothing broke. I didn't even need to open the engine bay. This is by all means a great success, but it has left me with a list of things to potentially address. I also now have a 3D printed wheel fitment tool which annoyingly hasn't got any threads in it to actually assemble it. I might be able to tape it together to check the sizing I actually want to use, but it'll likely involving pulling the shocks out to properly measure travel at least at the front, and probably raise the car while I'm at it, at least in the rear. I scraped on quite a few things and I'm not sure how else to go about it. I was taking anything with a bump at what felt like 89 degree angles. And address those 10 other tasks. And wash the car. God damn it is dirty. And somehow, the weather was perfect the entire time - And because I was on the top of Mt Wellington it turns out it was very much about to freeze up there. I did something I typically never do and took some photos up there in what must have been -10 and the foggy felt like suspended ice, rather than mere fog. If you own a car in Australia, you owe it to yourself to do it.
    • Damn that was hilarious, and a bit embarrassing for skylines in general 😂 vintage car life ey. That R33 really stomped. Pretty entertaining stuff
    • Hi, I have a r32 gtr transmission. Does any of you guys have an idea how much power it will hold with the billet center plate and stock gearset? At what power level and use did yours brake with or without billet plate? Thanks, Oystein Lovik
    • Saw this replica police car based on a Mitsubishi Starion XX parked next to a 'police box' (it's literally a box) in Hirohata, Himeji City in Hyogo prefecture the other day. It's owned by Morii-san who is a local Mitsubishi Starion enthusiast. According to a local radio station blog post, he always wanted to make a police car himself based on ones he saw in his favourite Manga comics.  As it's illegal to modify a car to look like a police car and drive on the road, Morii-san tried many times to get permission from Aboshi police station headquarters nearby. They refused initially by after they got tired of that they granted him permission. However, the car can only be displayed on private property and obviously can't be registered as long as the police livery is present. The car was completed at a cost of 1.5 million yen (US$ 10,000) in addition to the car cost. A location was chosen outside Hirohata Police box where the car can easily been seen from the street. Morii-san has two other Starion road cars, both widebody GSR-VRs.
