wow this is popular!!!

this is so strange to me!!! i cant believe all these stories!!!! i never knew people cared that much! this is the first annoying/bad experience.

i usually get waves from kids in the back seat, or husbands in the passenger seat haha.

i spose i dont see much of a car scene in shellharbour, just everyones sv6 with straight pipes blaring through the main street.

Ahem. Don't knock car's till you own one. :P I just bought a SV6 210kws at the engine. Not bad for a NA V6

Give it a few years and you will will have your own awesome stories one day :)

yeah, i get p platers in VR/VS commos trying to run me all the time. noone wants to play with a V8 though :/

eh, you get immune after a while. more fun is to sound like you're gonna run them (ready for launch) then just pull back at the light and coast off slowly while they flog it like dickheads

always good for a laugh

im nice to those who look like they just admire the car and will give them a bit of sound.. only for 50M or so

I love the bogans out my way, especially out in my mates 180.. open screamer+open window means they usually shut up quickly :D

I assume you're talking to me as YoYo's a guy :D

One time, again on the Hume, a car load of guys did what I already posted above but they also wrote their phone number on a big piece of cardboard and kept waving it out the window every time they went past me lol

Another guy was next to me at the lights at Rockdale and then followed me to where I parked at the shops and gave me his number.

YoYo's guy?

Hahaha give it time Jarrad. If guys start giving you numbers though you might want to change the way you wave at people :laugh:

Bahahahahahahahahahaha

Cant believe some of these stories of people being spat at mellow.gif

Not a bad story but, one time on the Gold Coast I was in the passenger seat of GTRseans R34 GTR and we were pulled over for an roadside RBT.

The cop's first words were "nice car mate" thumbsup.gif

I've never heard a cop complimenting a skyline before lol

Sydney is the worst.

You will always get hassled when you drive a recognised performance car here.

The best thing to have is some decent tint so you can wind up your window and ignore the kents.

I had 2 of them compliment my R34 once at a servo as they walked back past me to their patrol car :D

It seems as though I get a lot of admiration from high school girls. Maybe it's because I look young myself :P.

And every dick in his beater wants to test their power to my GTR. Haha.

It's kind of a double edged sword really, lots of admiration, but also alot of bogans saying wtf do you drive a jap pos, and I don't reply, I let my engine drown them out :). I love that sound haha.

A good story though. Was driving around Alexandria, my girlfriend and I, passed a Audi a5 with the wedding ribbons and bride and groom(groom driving). We made eye contact as I was coasting past, he smiles at me and just plants it a little maybe for 30m, so I was like aaawwww I'll give you a wedding present so I just gave it a little for him. He drives past afterwards and gives me a friendly wave.

      The final part arrived today to un-clampify and simplify the intake Who would have though a 1/2" hose stainless bulkhead fitting designed for below waterline bilge pumps would be what I needed Test fit on a 3" offcut I had laying around to see if it would work, and it worked a treat All going well the intake will be on its "final version" tomorrow

      R32 GTS (RB20DE) Injectors Replacement

      By GabsReDeal · Posted

      I checked the injectors again (1 and 2, since they’re easiest to access) to make sure they weren’t clogged. Even though the entire fuel system had been cleaned, I wanted to be certain. Everything looked clean, so I reinstalled and connected everything. When I started the car to confirm everything was okay, it immediately revved up high, so I shut it off straight away. I checked to see if I’d missed a vacuum hose or something, but everything was connected. On the second attempt, the car ran without the high idle, but I noticed a distinct “compressed air” sound coming from the engine bay. Tracing the sound, I pushed injector #6 forward slightly and the noise stopped — it turned out it wasn’t seated properly, despite the fuel rail being bolted down. While holding it in place, the car idled steadily without stalling and ran for over 5 minutes. At this point, I pulled all six injectors out just in case I hadn’t seated them correctly or dirt had gotten onto the O-rings. Unfortunately, I discovered that I had damaged 3 out of 6 injectors (the OEM 270cc ones) during installation. So yes, this was my fault. Since only the pintle caps were damaged, I’ve ordered a Fuel Injector Service Kit from NZEFI to refurbish them. In the meantime, I reinstalled my new injectors – the car now idles fine for over 15 minutes without stalling. I have not attempted to drive it so far. It’s not perfect yet, as it hesitates when the throttle is pressed, but it’s a big improvement. Unplugging the IACV with the new injectors idles at around 800rpm, even with the IACV screw tightened fully. But this is probably due to tune.
