When things turn ugly on the road

Last Friday night I was driving home around 11.30pm.  I was driving down  notorious Bell street Preston and stopped at the lights to turn right, next to the Maccas on St Georges Road.  Behind me was a blue lancer with an exhaust you could hear a block away and a full evo body kit.  This shit kicker had three blokes in the car. He then started revving his engine hard.  When I say hard I mean red line, engine breaking revving.  The whole time I'm thinking "Your a bloody tosser"

Anyway the light turns green and he had about as much chance of keeping up as a pot bellied yobbo picking up a grid girl at the F1.

Anyway the story did not end there.  He started following me. I was near home and I went down a few streets in a big circle and the persistant little bastard kept coming.  By now I'm getting pissed off and a little worried so I put the foot down and managed to get a fair way ahead.  I have an eletronic roller door so I hit the 'open' button, drove in and shut the roller door without him seeing where I live.  

Even after doing this I could hear the drone of his exhaust going up and down the sorrounding streets for ages after.

I was nearly tempted to get the old .303 rifle my family has and sit on the roof and blow one of the wheels off his car as he drove past.... Cops would probably have something negitive to say if I did that though...

Anyway have any of you had something like this happen?  Any road rage that has turned into a chase?

Quik: I had the exact same thing happen to me when I had my GTS-T

I was coming home from a friends place about 2am on a Sunday morning and a small car pulled out behind me a few streets from my place. Seing as I could hear yelling from the car behind while it tailgaiting the hell out of me, I knocked the car back a gear and took off down a sidestreet around the corner and they followed. I ended up driving into a carpark at the local shopping centre and waiting 5 mins before driving out and slowly back up the road past the shops only to see him pulling out of a different exit. It was on again.

This time I took off up the highway and once he was out of my mirror i went down a sidestreet, turned around and waiting for the prick to come past but he never did so after about 15 mins of sitting around I head home, watching every direction.

The problem continued when I pulled into my driveway and in my mirror saw the bastards waiting in a culdersac for me - they rolled (with headlights off) up to my driveway while my roller door was going up - I ran in, grabbed a large type baseball bat not knowing what the deal was and jumped back in the car and began to reverse and they took off.

Scared the absolute 5hit out of me and I have been very vigilant ever since.

      Quieter performance exhausts (or muffler add-on options)

      Nope.    Grab a varex and turn it down as you get close to home, win win?

      Quieter performance exhausts (or muffler add-on options)

      By f00stx · Posted

      So, I've had my V36 for about a month now and have already copped an "excessive exhaust noise" notification from QLD TMR, reported by someone in my local area. It's a twin as per the original, and can have a bit of a throaty note to it when idling cold 😄 and if I do get up it a bit, it can be noisy, but it did pass a roadworthy inspection before sale, so.... ... but in the interest of being a good neighbour, I do want to quieten it down a bit. Is anyone here running a quiet aftermarket cat-back on their V36 or 370Z? And the big, bold question: does an aftermarket cat-back really make much of a performance difference on these cars?

      The wiring diagram for the R33 RB25 is freely available, and is essentially the same same as most other RBs (just with differences as to which pin # does which job). To get the ECU to power up, you just need to provide power to the ECCS relay, and have the other power feeds that come in from the top left of the wiring diagram (wrt the ECU) that give perma power to the fuel pump relay, the ECU itself, etc etc, all connected. When you put power on all these it will just come to life. It's pretty clear from the diagram what needs to happen. Just follow the lines from the 12V + supply stuff in the top left over towards the ECU. I've even posted snips of such diagrams (not for vanilla 25, I think for Neo and 26) to various threads here in the last few months, talking about what it takes to get the fuel pump and FPCM up and going. Search these up and they will help get you started on doing the same with the vanilla 25 diagram. Hell, for all I know, I've done the same with that one in years past and have forgotten.

      Yep...so unless someone posts up the answer you will need to probe from the ECU connector to the dash plug with a multi meter in continuity mode to trace the wires.  Note the ECU has multiple - and + (and across different key settings - Battery, IGN and Start) and most likely the power is fed from the connector(s) that is normally near the left hand headlight.

      Thanks Duncan, I am actually just trying to get the Rb turning and running with the RB25DET S2 original loom itself  I am just trying to get it going outside the body and not thinking about the S15 or trying to match anything to the S15 loom at all I am only trying to see if anyone has done this and what pin they found to be the ignition trigger and ECU+/- on the dash connector, that's about it. Thanks
