even public schools dont allow swearing. we used to get in trouble for that sorta thing, nowadays it seems parents dont care and teachers have to deal with foul mouthed little snots who swear because its cool.

forums will always be full of language and things you wouldn't say to someones face. this whole thread makes me laugh.

*on topic tho, yes this is quite stupid. And i hope they get fined or worse.

Yay for Birds :D

If you knew me in real life, I do swear more than everyone in this thread combined lol. But I agree, in written text, using ridiculous revenge scenarios and excessive swearing comes across as an emotionally irrational response to a bad situation, i.e. no better than the boost guys.

either that or he sounds drunk or high.. with his dog marley lol

It never ceases to amaze me the increasing amount of stupidity and idiocy among people of all age groups, of all 'enthusiastic' passions, of all backgrounds. Burnouts at a funeral; wow thanks, now even more people will give me dirty looks as I drive my skyline.

It tugs at a nerve or two when I see this sort of behaviour; sure I'm young, sure I drive a [reasonably] quick car, but I rarely (if ever) engage in such "performances". Least of all in such a deserving place of respect.

'Tsk tsk.'

agree 100%

im a very curteous driver. and i STILL get a head shake from the person i just let through etc when i could have kept going and let him wait for ages in melbourne traffic.

also, oldies. pwoahhhhh. slow down and come to a stop to let a little old lady cross the street. she calls me a f**ken idiot. lol?

You guys do realize that your over-used profanities are bringing you down to the level, right?

I struggle to take any opinion seriously when all they're saying is "...f**k...shit...f**kwits". It's even harder when you can't even spell your profanity right.

I'm not going to point people out, but Birds has demonstrated a very mature approach to expressing his thoughts as opposed to the various authors of other posts.

George; While comparing shooting people to burnouts is a bit of an extremity, I do feel that's what people do sometimes.

In response to the driveway; that is annoying. Get the boostcruisers out there cleaning it up imo.

As long as the people organizing the cleanup take a "Our mess our responsibility" approach with a mentality of "We don't want to disadvantage the funeral home after what they did for our mate", then it'll be a successful exercise.

Silvia GTR; Good point, I was just thinking in a 'then-and-there' frame of mind and didn't consider alternative locations.

I now know what I'm planning for my funeral... :)

Whoa there, we gotta swearing nazi

gtfo

either that or he sounds drunk or high.. with his dog marley lol

My dog is real and legit. Have not been high for 10 years.

I'm not going to play 'internet flame wars', but I am going to say...

Birds; WOOT I got sigged :D

Also, I'll believe you about your dog, but the weed thing? I'll come to a conclusion based on your age :P

RBNT; I'm not a swearing Nazi. I can be extremely vulgar myself. Note, I also said "over-used".

However, given the topic, public forum and peoples perceptions of Skyline drivers, I don't believe such immature behaviour should be displayed so vividly (in this thread). I'm all for discouraging hooning, but the manner people are using to express their disappointment with what they see as immature, poor driving is simply dragging them down to the level of the boostcruisers.

In years from now, people are going to stumble across this thread, and think, "Oh God, are Skyline drivers really that bad?" It's poor image.

Not that I'm a shining example of a good image, but I do try.

If you were talking to me IRL about this subject casually at a cruise or the like, I would be using curse words to describe them, but I don't think it's appropriate here.

Nee-san; Thanks for linking that thread, gave me such a good laugh. Hamiltonau's post was classic xD

But again, I'm not against swearing in general, it's just in this context I feel it's inappropriate.

mlr; byte me. :P

I remember quote-editting when I was 13.

Edited by SKITTLES

lol, but its the little things in life that me laugh

Also when I was 13 it was 1978 and calculators were the new things at school, Computers and "quote editing" for me is full of awsome newness.

Apart from them being the devil that is.

I often get a wave for letting people in, I also get people trying to brute force their way into tiny gaps and yelling and tooting when I don't really have the room or the time to let them in.

All luck of the draw I guess.

    • Next, remove the upper and lower radiator hoses, both are held with a spring clamp. While you are under there, tackle the Auto Trans cooler lines.  Again both are held on with spring clamps, and as mentioned above you should cap them on the radiator side with an 8mm cap, and on the car side loop them with a length of 8mm pipe - this will stop you losing a dangerous amount of AT fluid during the rest of the job If you've been meaning to add a sender for AT trans temp, this is a great time to do it; put a sender fitting into the passenger side line as that is the inlet to the cooler/radiator.
    • Next you need to remove the intake duct (as with pretty much every job on these cars), it is a series of clips you gently remove with a flat bladed screwdriver. They do get brittle with time and can break, and I have not found a decent quality aftermarket one that fits (they are all too soft or flimsy and don't last either) but the nissan ones are a couple of bucks each (ouch).  Once the clips are off (either 8 or 10, I didn't check) you lift the intake duct out and will see the reservoirs Undo the line into the radiator side cap (some bent needle nosed piers are awesome for spring clamps) and then remove the 4x 10m nuts that hold both in place.  I didn't get these pics, but remove the line under the radiator reservoir (spring clamp again) then remove that reservoir. Then you can get at the intake reservoir, same thing, spring clamp underneath then remove it. BTW This is a great time to put in a larger (+70%) combined reservoir that AMS makes..... https://www.amsperformance.com/product/q50-q60-red-alpha-coolant-expansion-tank/ They also make an Infiniti branded and part# version if that is your thing
    • To drain the Intake Heat Exchanger, there is a crappy drain plug in front of the driver's side front tyre: You should use the largest headed phillips screwdriver you had, and in my case I needed vice grips on the hose above as the plug was tight (tighter than it needed to be, since it has an o-ring seal).  After you have a tray down and open the drain, open the intake heat exchanger reservoir cap (drivers side one) and you should get a couple of litres of coolant To get to the radiator, you need to remove the plastic engine undertray. It is held on with a series of 10mm headed bolts and some clips. For the radiator, there is another type of crappy drain (kind of like a plastic banjo bolt) and you should attach a length of hose to direct the stream of coolant per this pic (otherwise the coolant hits the rad support and goes everywhere). The drain is on the rear of the radiator on the driver's side and a bit hard to find. Put a big tray or bucket down (5l won't be enough) and slowly unscrew the fitting by hand. You only want to remove it far enough for coolant to flow, it you unscrew it right out the whole fitting and direction pipe will come off and you will get a coolant bath (yum!). Undo the radiator reservoir cap and it should empty about 8l
    • So, this shouldn't be such a mission, but there were a few tricks so I thought I'd post up a DIY for it. This was on a Q50 Red Sport but I doubt any other V37 model is very different (maybe just less steps for the intake heat exchanger hoses) I pulled the radiator out to flush it because the car was running hot at the track, but obviously the same steps apply for changing a radiator for any reason including an upgrade. If you are removing the radiator, you of course need to drain and refill, so have 5+ litres of blue coolant ready. You also need to drain the intake heat exchanger to remove the radiator so you will need a couple of litres for that as well. You will also need something to deal with the auto transmission lines, I used 2x 8mm rubber caps on the radiator side, and a short length of 8mm pipe on the car side.....unless you can block these lines quickly you will loose AT fluid and it may be enough to hurt the transmission if you don't refill it. 2 other tools that really help dealing with coolant lines and spring clamps are Bent Needle Nose pliers Hose pliers Between them they will reduce the frustration (and injury) potential by about 1000% Other than that....lets go... "First, jack up your car". Yes really, and put it safely on stands. If you are not confident doing that you need to give this job to a mechanic
    • If the forester is anything like our old 2007 GTB Liberty, I could near on run ling Long's and "rate them", as no matter what, it just hung to the road, even when abusing it in a hard launch in the wet, or throwing it at corners.
