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.

See how much easier that is with a little punctuation? was going to fix the other 'huge wall of text' posted by someone else on here but he seems so mentally unstable (hey he said it first) that he would probably track me down and re arrange my lounge room while i was sleeping just to make a point.

Anyway i think two lessons can be surmised so far from this thread..

A) if someones flying up behind you (however illegal and rude it is) just get out of the way. You will save yourself an assload of trouble.

B) was going to say something about Commodore drivers but I think I will just re-iterate how important A) is. Get outta the goddamn way.

ok carry on, best thread i have seen for a while. :cheers:

      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.

      Mistakes were made, my R34 Story

      By Kinkstaah · Posted

      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.

      R32 gtr transmission strength, billet plate

      By cosline · Posted

      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

      Spotted on the street....

      By Rezz · Posted

      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.
