Haha. As an ex magna owner I can say there's a lot of wankers around. I had a 100% stock looking one that made 190.3kw at the front wheels and it was the fastest non turbo one in Australia. I always had other owners try and go me and I would just laugh at them

^agreed. I get VR/S/T/X commodore owners starting on me. I did take him on once and backed off halfway through because around the corner was the popo (I got flashed but old mate didn't see or care) and and he got done

I don't seem to get anyone hitting me up for a run @ the lights lucky you :P

My only encounter has been with a guy who works at the same shopping center as me in an Evo 9 who wanted to have a go LOL surprisingly he didin't pull much on me until it was time to back off due to the 80kph speed limit even he was surprised

I cop it all the time, usually off the inbreds in old shitbox commy's.

Lately i've noticed that a few BA/BF falcon drivers on their P's try racing me too. I reckon my car is one of the fastest P plate legal cars on the market, aside from the SV6 commonwhores put out 210kw. I beat anyone with a p plate just about now lol.

Edit: Also HEAPS of bogans in landcruiser utes and hiluxes try racing me, i just don't even bother and pretend not to notice them..

not many people over here know what a v series is. i get a lot of questions about what it is especially cos it has no badges. no one is expecting the whistling turbo either but they get the message when it hits 3000+rpm gotta plumb that bloody screamer pipe back in lol

I do get my share of people trying to get me going. Sometimes I'll entertain them but if I see P-plates, then I'm just a slow old man. Inexperienced drivers are not to be encouraged in an activity they know little about yet.

What annoys me is if i beat someone they either get angry and tail gate me or will keep trying over and over..

I've been on my P's for longer than normal, lost it for 6 months last year so i've had them for 4 years now.. I consider myself an experienced-ish driver but i do understand what you mean with the d*ckheads that just get their P's and try to race everyone.

i like 'spirited acceleration without loss of traction' - but i don't race anyone. it's far too easy for things to get over 30km'h above speed limit - and then i lose my car, my license, and most likely my job without a way to get there anymore.

yes - victoria is a nanny state, it's out of control - but the rules are the rules and i don't see any point in testing them.

    • Wanted to add some of my R33 GTST  R34 GTR wheels, 18x9 ET30 with 255/35/R18 PS4S'   BBS RE-V7 029 18x9.5 ET22 with 255/35/R18 PS4S' Needs a bit of camber   
    • Lamb roast on Saturday will be different 🥲
    • They are under bucket shims. Tomei provides a test shim kit and then any measurement of shim required. 
    • I always wondered how you were supposed to buy a set of 24 buckets and somehow magically have every single one of them yield exactly the desired clearance. I would have thought you'd need to assemble a cam with either 12 "sample" or "example" buckets of known top thickness (or a single such sample/example 12 times over!!) measure clearances at every valve, and then do the usual math to work out what the actual "shimness" of each bucket needed to be, before buying the required buckets to make up he thicknesses that you didn't have on hand.
    • I now seem to be limited in power due to my rev limit/hydraulic lifters in my built RB25. I'm looking into converting over to Tomei solid lifters. Question for anyone that has done the conversion. I was always under the impression that when using the Tomei solid lifter conversion, you would also require new valves (Longer or shorter stems, I can't remember which).  I don't know where I got this idea, as so far I see no mention of this in any of the Tomei documentation. It just states I need the Tomei solid buckets, solid lifter cams and upgraded springs. As my head is already built, all I would need is another set of 1000$ Kelford cams, 500$ buckets and about 4H hours of my time installing and I'm off to the races!?!? There's no way it's that simple, I must be missing something?
