Just wondering if anyone has notice that when you drive your skyline on the road, alot of people come up ur arse at the light for the fun of it. Normal roads for me is fine i hate it when I am on a hill and they do it. Its like they want me to roll back and hit them.

Just seeing if anyone else usually have that happening to them. I drive my other car which is a 2006 model camry and no one come up my back side in the skyline they do it all the time.

Especially P platers!!! Nothing against p plates its just they are the majority of them of them that come up my back side for the fun of it.

Give me your opinion?!

hehe you said a funnyy..

On a serious note, yes you will get dickheads constantly even including undercover cops trying to stir you up. The trick is to act with maturity and you won't have any trouble. It's part of the price you pay for driving a high performance vehicle.

Just sit back and smile and enjoy your ride.

lol that is what i usually do just pretend they are not there and just drive its just it gets annoying on a hill. Dont want to pay for damage to a car so just for safety i use the hand brake.

Lol...although RB25PWR isn't undercover.

Yep, it happens...a lot. I can't remember the last time a local V8 with an exhaust was near me without trying to drag me. P-platers LOVE to race. Police don't seem to bat an eyelid down here though, perhaps my skin isn't olive enough?

I had some fool trying to get me to pull over last time. Oh yeah that's likely to happen.

Also got road raged, there was a freak rain storm and then all cars on the highway had to come to a grinding stop due to a dog on the road. Haha all these fun events in no particular order, was an eventful drive up last time!

Try being a chick in a GTR. I hate driving up the highway to Sydney by myself, people carry on a bit silly!

Lol being honest chicks in GTR's do distract me, but i don't think anything silly ensue's.

Not trying anything here, but a girl in a GTR = hawt. If my girlfriend drove a GTR, I'd marry her the moment the rego went into her name.

But as a general thing, I don't get people being idiots. It's actually quite the opposite. I have a lot of people take of REALLY slowly at lights so they don't G me up for a race or something like that.

I've been having a lulz at it, telling friends "they're taking off slower than the green p-plater hoon in a skyline so they can sit back and bitch about how bad of a driver I am". Even though I'm shifting at 2500 and taking it chill.

My opinion of an idiot on the road is someone who's putting other peoples life directly at risk. Ripping a burnout or trying to drift in an industrial area on a weekend or at night isn't too bad when you've got friends all around you managing the pedestrians, but turning your headlights off at night and almost forcing a car off the road is being a total f**king wank.

And Skyline drivers don't general attract wankers. Infact, in Sydney, I've met plenty of extremely enthusiastic and friendly Skyline drivers. It's commodore drivers that have been giving me the shits recently.

I know how annoying being really really ridiculously good-looking can be. It must be even worse for you..lol

orange moccha frap-a-chinos FTW

the only drink to have if you are really really rediculously good looking

Good looks are a blessing and a burden.

You know, you're just going about your daily life, trying to get on with driving or work or what ever and BAM women everywhere.

For example, see figure 1.

hahaha that is gold!

Terry your car is blue now?

Often im driving normally an as soon as i give the slightest throttle ( just a bit of spooling) people feel the need to gun it lol.

i think theyre idiots, "im not racing you, if i was you would NOT be in front or alongside or anywhere near me" lol

PS To all you Camry/Magna/Commodore wagon owners: i behave on roads an enjoy my car on track, nor do i need to prove my car is faster than your shopping trolley

    • Per Mark Roberts of Sonictune: Mark Robert Author At this time, no. No ETA either 2016-17 models. You will be able to purchase and install a 2018.5+ TCU though   TCU purchasing and pricing info! As we near the release of TCU tuning, I am going to answer some questions I get asked often.   What do I need for TCU tuning? At this time, you will need a 2018.5+ TCU to be able to tune. If you have a 2016-to early 2018, you will need to replace your TCU with the newer version. One good way to know if your TCU is good is if you have auto upshift in manual mode in 1st gear around 6500 rpms. If your manual 1st gear goes to 7k rpm and will hit the rev limiter unless you shift, you have the older TCU.   Why do I need to buy another ecu license/phone flash if I already have it on my ECU tune? The TCU is its own computer module. It is completely separate from the ECU. Because of this, you will be required to purchase a TCU license and, if your tuner has it, the phone flash license required to tune it via phone/bluetooth.   Do I need TCU tuning? TCU tuning is NOT required. However, the faster your setup, the more it will assist in track and dragy time consistency.   If I’m ECU tuned by (tuner A) can I get my TCU tuned by (Tuner ? Yes, since it’s a different module and a completely separate flash, you can have two different tuners. However, it is highly recommend that you have both tuned by the same tuner. For me, my TCU tuning will directly complement my ECU tuning style and features and running my ECU and another TCU or vice versa MIGHT cause some issues. At this time and for the foreseeable future, I will only be tuning my current ECU tuned customers TCUs.     I have a SYVECS AWD controller. Do I still need it? Yes! The AWD controllers main job is to control your AWD system. However, with TCU tuning, you will no longer need the auto-shift function as that will be done through the TCU. The AWD controller will still be very beneficial for racers looking to maximize traction on the launch.     Shift schedule changes: holding gears longer at lower pedal input as well as max shift rpm changes. Please note, the new ECU race rom coming out will address 90% of the shitty drivability issues these cars have through custom maps from myself and Racebox—as well as others I am sure.   Increase shift speeds: as seen in the videos I’ve been posting, the TCU shifts much faster once tuned.   Increased shift pressures: as also seen in the videos, much firmer full throttle shifts.

    • The fancy pants red shock tower brace is finally incoming from MX5 Mania, getting it shipped from 'Merica has been a long and problematic process, and GWR, the 'Merican supplier will not ship directly to consumers outside of the US, Mania basically had to order a heap of them, the colour choice was silver, or red, and we all know anything red adds 5 killerwasps of dynotorques..... Whilst it does fit over a 2.5, and I've seen a few photos and videos of it being installed and fitting, google also says it might get real close to the FAB9 intake front runner, people in the US says it does fit with the FAB9 intake, except for one person who said it slightly touched.......so there is that.....LOL..... As it seems that I am the first in AU to have this combination of parts there's no local knowledge about fitment, so I'm just a willing guinea pig in this endeavour, I'll cross my fingers and toes and hope for the best In other news, I ordered stuff from China  on the same day I ordered the 23° silicone bend from Victoria, the stuff from China arrived a day ago, the 23° silicone bend is still travelling around Australia thanks to Australia Post, and "may" be here next week
    • Very good news...I contacted Racebox about it last night. My car is a 2016 so remains to be seen if it is compatible, requires a TCU swap, or is impossible.
    • What ECU are you running? This is probably the biggest question. If it's a PowerFC, I'd probably change the ECU and get something newer that will handle the injectors in a nicer way.
