i quite enjoy leavin $70k hsv's etc for dead , not coz they are fast cars , but coz the silly bugger has spent so much money on a shitbox.

Tried racing them around a corner? Just cos they're slow in a straight line doesn't mean it's a shitbox. By that logic, a $2m McLaren F1 is a shitbox because a $20k GSXR1000 will beat it over the ¼ mile. It's a different matter of course if they think their car is the fastest thing around, or if they somehow think that you're 'below' them because you didn't spend as much money as they did. Then it's time for an arse whipping :)

Hehe yeah, the earlier model R1's weren't *that* fast in gear. At Darlington Park I dragged one off going down the back straight - niether of us could believe it, I just shrugged my shoulders and kept passing him :) Was that a 1st gear run on the bike? Most litre bikes will do over 130km/h in 1st and many also have torque limiters, so it's not until second and sometimes third that they get full power. Try it from 150 or 200 :)

Actually my brother ran a black R32 GTR on my bike, 2nd gear roll-on from about 100 to 180 the GTR was only four or five carlengths back. It shot flames on backoff too and sounded angry he reckons :)

Hrmm.. geeez.. mayb y this is some of the reason why I have had a lance n a magna tried to wipe me out.. :)

Ah well.. I dont race at all.. tho.. I did by accident once tested and confirmed that my traction control does work (ie. the slip light blink like crazy and I was not going anywhere), the ford behind me was not too impress tho.

one night travelling to surfers paradise from tweed area, we had these guys in a monaro, i wasnt driving as i had a bit to drink but even in currumbin were we were 2 or 3 cars back in traffic, he had to dump the clutch and do a burnout(for god knows why) and then all the way up, they were trying to race us.. at one set of lights we were finally matched, i told driver, dont worry about them as i cbf dealing with getting car confiscated if anything happens, anyway the drive of monaro revvs engine.. and almost stalls it(you know kangaroo hoping or whatever, its like a mili second away from stalling) , he then did the big fly by when we were sitting on speed limit 10seconds later, so we did the appropriate wanker signals to him(after about 3 or 4 times over the trip telling him were not bothering on public roads)we could stop laughing the rest of the way..

i mean seriously, i dont mind at night, on 'private roads' if asked politely(as in good nature) having a run with something.. but this whole, yoru car is shit, thing.. well i guess i missed that phase :S but whats with dickheads trying to race at every lighst after saying no already..(oh should be noted, all people in the monaro had beers in hand.. even the passenger was passing the beer to driver to take swigs )

Ok I had to add this one,

Girlfriend picked me up in the line from the station the other night...

Mr Joe Cokhead in his new M3 at the lights we take off slowly so he stabs it and reaches that rattly M3 exhaust note that seems so common yet reminds me of a $50 tip on an excel, so what happens next...

Girlfriend punches first bangs second...seeeya...

Next lights pull up on the other side of him...windows down both cars, girlfriend leans over me and says "Should let your wife drive, she couldn't do any worse..."

I am really starting to hate M3's I like the look but the fart in a tin can sounding exhaust makes me wonder how well manufactured the rest of the car is...

Ok was at Aspley with my car, and these guys were geeing me up for a run for the past 5 weeks or so and I couldn't run them because I needed to get my bigger fuel pump, because I was leaning out at around 10psi with the new turbo. Finally they come up to me again after fuel pump install and tune.

They told me that I was going upagainst a 5L VN and pointed to a black kitted VN parked no to far away. "it's got extractors, exhaust, chip, and a cam" Thats it I said? to which they replied yep.

So we cruise on out to the highway, on the way out the VN gives it a little while alongside me, and a particulsr sound grabs my attention... yes I herd that whine of a supercharger winding up. My mate herd it aswell, so we figured we were in for a decent run.

Had a run form 80 in third and he pulled 2 car lengths while i was lagging, They were all yelling and laughing shit as they tore away form me. Caught up and had a run from 100. different story, they pulled half a car length, then i came onto boost and pulled past them changing into 4th.

On the way back down the freeway raced from 2nd at about 20. He broke traction hardcore but still pulled 2 car lengths wheelspinning away from me as I was lagging then I hit boost broke traction, hooked up again at top of second, hit third spun till about 120, hooked up and once again passed them changing into 4th. Was a lot of good clean fun.

Not having to worry about wheelspin!? You try moving forward with an open diff on the pan!

You've beaten me on the skidpan in the past Marc.

You bake biscuits. An Air biscuit is a fart. I actually got that out of Cleo or something. Also obtained another good definition from there.

Wanking Spanners, noun; hands.

2 of my favourites from a chicks mag, they are turning dirty.

    • Can I suggest you try EBC directly again and link them to as many competitor catalogues as you can to show their listing is incorrect, eg https://dba.com.au/product/front-4000-series-hd-brake-rotor-dba42304/ If you have access to an R33 GTST VIN and your VIN, you could also use a Nissan Parts lookup like Amayama to show them the part number is different between 33 GTST and 34 GTT which may get their attention
    • So i got reply from EBC and they just this site where you can clearly see those 296mm fronts on R34 GTT. I send them photos and "quotes" that 296mm are not for 34 GTT and they are too small. But it will be very hard to return them cuz nobody here knows 100% and they just copy those EBC catalogue :-D https://ebcbrakesdirect.com/automotive/nissan/skyline-r34
    • Hi, is the HKS  Tower Bar still available ? negotiable ? 🤔
    • From there, it is really just test and assemble. Plug the adapter cables from the unit into the back of the screen, then the other side to the car harness. Don't forget all the other plugs too! Run the cables behind the unit and screw it back into place (4 screws) and you should now have 3 cables to run from the top screen to the android unit. I ran them along the DS of the other AV units in the gap between their backets and the console, and used some corrugated tubing on the sharp edges of the bracket so the wires were safe. Plug the centre console and lower screen in temporarily and turn the car to ACC, the AV should fire up as normal. Hold the back button for 3 sec and Android should appear on the top screen. You need to set the input to Aux for audio (more on that later). I put the unit under the AC duct in the centre console, with the wifi antenna on top of the AC duct near the shifter, the bluetooth antenna on the AC duct under the centre console The GPS unit on top of the DS to AC duct; they all seem to work OK there are are out of the way. Neat cable routing is a pain. For the drive recorder I mounted it near the rear view mirror and run the cable in the headlining, across the a pillar and then down the inside of the a pillar seal to the DS lower dash. From there it goes across and to one USB input for the unit. The second USB input is attached to the ECUtec OBD dongle and the 3rd goes to the USB bulkhead connected I added in the centre console. This is how the centre console looks "tidied" up Note I didn't install the provided speaker, didn't use the 2.5mm IPod in line or the piggyback loom for the Ipod or change any DIP switches; they seem to only be required if you need to use the Ipod input rather than the AUX input. That's it, install done, I'll follow up with a separate post on how the unit works, but in summary it retains all factory functions and inputs (so I still use my phone to the car for calls), reverse still works like factory etc.
    • Place the new daughterboard in the case and mount it using the 3 small black rivets provided, and reconnect the 3 factory ribbon cables to the new board Then, use the 3 piggyback cables from the daughterboard into the factory board on top (there are stand offs in the case to keep them apart. and remember to reconnect the antenna and rear cover fan wires. 1 screw to hold the motherboard in place. Before closing the case, make a hole in the sticker covering a hole in the case and run the cable for the android unit into the plug there. The video forgot this step, so did I, so will you probably. Then redo the 4 screws on back, 2 each top and bottom, 3 each side and put the 2 brackets back on.....all ready to go and not that tricky really.
