Dude they are like the hitler youth, I have a clean record and seeing them do an illegal handbrake turn at a no u turn sign to "random breathe test" you is always a good laugh.

How is that funny I'd say its friggin dsigraceful

Speaking of bogans, I pulled up at a 24hr deli about 10pm last night and parked next to a VR commode. The driver of said car was listening to some crap music while waiting for his top bloke mate to exit the shop. I was sitting there idling waiting for my mrs to also exit the shop. As the faggots boyfriend starts to exit the shop, the top bloke cranks up the fast & the furious theme song, starts his 5L with no muffler with his foot flat to the floor, lets it rev to 4k and gives it a couple of pumps. His boyfriend gets in the car and they drive off singing TOO FAST TOO FURIOUS n shit as they make heaps of noise but go nowhere after pulling out on to the road.

These seemed to be those new types of bogans that kind of think they're trendy with their flat brimmed hats, tatts, lip piercings, UNIT stickers etc.

Oh and they were buying nangs (a whole sleeve) :laugh:

If I wasn't so belted relaxed, I might have said something but instead I just smirked and cranked some House of Pain.

I got only stopped about 5 times in 3 years, 2 where for "random" checks & the others were all breath test.

No one seem to pay much attention to the car... which is good I guess.

SOOO true it's not funny. Alot of people have poor scope of performance cars. Anyone who sees my car straight away goes "is it manual?"

"yes"

"nice, it's a gtr right?"

"no, GTS, non-turbo RWD"

"oh"

*akward silence*

"they made non turbos?"

"yep, i'm driving one"

"why didn't you get a turbo?"

Try being a P-Plater.

I've loved Skylines since I was 10/11 years old, so I decided I'd fork out the dosh for a non-turbo R33 Skyline.

I get pretty much the same thing. Except worst...

"Non turbo ay? Why didn't you jsut buy the turbo? You know you get *insert upgraded components*"

"Yes, I know, I'm not a f**king idiot. Look at whats sticking out to the left of my plates.."

"*insert random jabbering* haha you drive a non-turbo what a waste of money would have been better off buying a turbo *insert more insults*"

I got sick of the constant flack from everyone. So I bought a turbo skyline with the intentions to leave it at home and build it up to the car I've always wanted.

"WHy didn't you buy a GTR? GTSTs are shit rah rah rah R32s are shit rah rah rah R34.. now thats a real car... rah rah rah"

Sooooooo I'm selling both my skylines and I'm going to drive an excel.

You know what's even more annoying..?

"Oh you drive a shitty like excel."

Even worst is my girlfriend

"The excel is a piece of shit"

Mmmm... enjoy your massive loan sweety.

Edit:

In re: to douchebag-driven aussie fuel guzzlers.

Friend was driving his R33 with over 270kwartw.

"supercharged" v8 commonwhore guns it to show off... friend flew up behind him not even trying. Having good chuckles that this guy was trying to lose us and we're there easing up behind him using half his fuel :)

Even better is my friend who has a commonwhore and tried to show off etc.

He goes driving with me, and we were in a massive rush so I was getting there as soon as possible (our jobs could have been on the line if i didn't). So I'm going through backstreets and finally get there. First comment? "I couldn't have taken those corners like that in my commodore..."

Then we decided we'd race. Dead flat, empty road with cars monitoring traffic (well lack-there-of) out in the sticks; nice and safeish. No trees / power lines around, just flat property (no fences). Race to 120.

Guess who won ;]

Also, I never get pulled over any more in my silver R33 :) It's bone stock, and looks clean. I'm often in my office attire when I drive, so cops are just like eh and drive off.

i got stopped twice in an hour.

This can be arranged....

I had an older HWY patrol cop pull me over once, surprisingly was one of the nicer cops i've come across, gave the usual wrap and said 'these cars are pretty quick hey'

couldn't help but smile at that.

I had similar. Got told it was so nicely modified that i would likely never get a defect! He let me off with a warning for too low but that was the only issue he picked up, and I have since fixed it. He was also surprised that susch a stock looking engine bay could make a bit over 400hp to the wheels.

I am a P-Plater, and it shits me to see the current trend of red P-Platers humming around in 5/5.7/6l commys, plates up, car full, and generally not giving a f***, and getting away with it. While i'm stuck copping it for playing by the rules.

Buy a GTR? It's funny how the people who say this typically drive maroon, auto, VN clunk-a-whores with 500,000km. I think even the lightly modded GTST's on the forum would make them s*** their pants.

Coming back from work just then driving on the main road I had some Cop speed up & sit on my a** for about 10 seconds. I noticed it & thought screw this & indicated to turn off at a side street.

He didn't follow.

I then drove back home through a series of small roads.

The end.

Fitting an exhaust pipe the width of a soft drink can to your car won't just attract the attention of the neighbours and passers by, it's likely to get the cops on your tail.

A former senior highway patrol officer says heavily modified Japanese imports garner the most attention from the boys in blue.

"The cars with the big drainpipe exhausts — the Subaru WRXs and the [Nissan] Skylines and [Toyota] Supras — you look pretty hard at because they've usually been heavily modified and the modifications can be illegal," he says.

He doesn't hate US mmmbop..............he just hates YOU :nyaanyaa:

No, you weren't. It's about 100% unlikely that vehicle 'a' is half as efficient at extracting motivation from fuel as vehicle 'b' given what each of them is.

To make power you burn fuel. To make more power you burn more fuel.

Given similar weights to ease up behind him you were burning as much as/more fuel, not half as much.

    • Wheel alignment immediately. Not "when I get around to it". And further to what Duncan said - you cannot just put camber arms on and shorten them. You will introduce bump steer far in excess of what the car had with stock arms. You need adjustable tension arms and they need to be shortened also. The simplest approach is to shorten them the same % as the stock ones. This will not be correct or optimal, but it will be better than any other guess. The correct way to set the lengths of both arms is to use a properly built/set up bump steer gauge and trial and error the adjustments until you hit the camber you need and want and have minimum bump steer in the range of motion that the wheel is expected to travel. And what Duncan said about toe is also very true. And you cannot change the camber arm without also affecting toe. So when you have adjustable arms on the back of a Skyline, the car either needs to go to a talented wheel aligner (not your local tyre shop dropout), or you need to be able to do this stuff yourself at home. Guess which approach I have taken? I have built my own gear for camber, toe and bump steer measurement and I do all this on the flattest bit of concrete I have, with some shims under the tyres on one side to level the car.
    • Thought I would get some advice from others on this situation.    Relevant info: R33 GTS25t Link G4x ECU Walbro 255LPH w/ OEM FP Relay (No relay mod) Scenario: I accidentally messed up my old AVS S5 (rev.1) at the start of the year and the cars been immobilised. Also the siren BBU has completely failed; so I decided to upgrade it.  I got a newer AVS S5 (rev.2?) installed on Friday. The guy removed the old one and its immobilisers. Tried to start it; the car cranks but doesnt start.  The new one was installed and all the alarm functions seem to be working as they should; still wouldn't start Went to bed; got up on Friday morning and decided to have a look into the no start problem. Found the car completely dead.  Charged the battery; plugged it back in and found the brake lights were stuck on.  Unplugging the brake pedal switch the lights turn off. Plug it back in and theyre stuck on again. I tested the switch (continuity test and resistance); all looks good (0-1kohm).  On talking to AVS; found its because of the rubber stopper on the brake pedal; sure enough the middle of it is missing so have ordered a new one. One of those wear items; which was confusing what was going on However when I try unplugging the STOP Light fuses (under the dash and under the hood) the brake light still stays on. Should those fuses not cut the brake light circuit?  I then checked the ECU; FP Speed Error.  Testing the pump again; I can hear the relay clicking every time I switch it to ON. I unplugged the pump and put the multimeter across the plug. No continuity; im seeing 0.6V (ECU signal?) and when it switches the relay I think its like 20mA or 200mA). Not seeing 12.4V / 7-9A. As far as I know; the Fuel Pump was wired through one of the immobiliser relays on the old alarm.  He pulled some thick gauged harness out with the old alarm wiring; which looks to me like it was to bridge connections into the immobilisers? Before it got immobilised it was running just fine.  Im at a loss to why the FP is getting no voltage; I thought maybe the FP was faulty (even though I havent even done 50km on the new pump) but no voltage at the harness plug.  Questions: Could it be he didnt reconnect the fuel pump when testing it after the old alarm removal (before installing the new alarm)?  Is this a case of bridging to the brake lights instead of the fuel pump circuit? It's a bit beyond me as I dont do a lot with electrical; so have tried my best to diagnose what I think seems to make sense.  Seeking advice if theres for sure an issue with the alarm install to get him back here; or if I do infact, need an auto electrician to diagnose it. 
    • Then, shorten them by 1cm, drop the car back down and have a visual look (or even better, use a spirit level across the wheel to see if you have less camber than before. You still want something like 1.5 for road use. Alternatively, if you have adjustable rear ride height (I assume you do if you have extreme camber wear), raise the suspension back to standard height until you can get it all aligned properly. Finally, keep in mind that wear on the inside of the tyre can be for incorrect toe, not just camber
    • I know I have to get a wheel alignment but until then I just need to bring the rear tyres in a bit they're wearing to the belt on the inside and brand new on the outside edge. I did shorten the arms a bit but got it wrong now after a few klms the Slip and VDC lights come on. I'd just like to get it to a point where I can drive for another week or two before getting an alignment. I've had to pay a lot of other stuff recently so doing it myself is my only option 
    • You just need a wheel alignment after, so just set them to the same as current and drive to the shop. As there are 2 upper links it may also be worth adding adjustable upper front links at the same time; these reduce bump steer when you move the camber (note that setting those correctly takes a lot longer as you have to recheck the camber at each length of the toe arm, through a range of movement, so you could just ignore that unless the handling becomes unpredictable)
