Hope everyone is enjoying their holidays. I just got back to NSW from a week in Melbourne with family.

Just so happens I was on the Hume, in Victoria, overtaking a couple of trucks doing around 110kms in my missus I30. Next thing you know a R33 flys up my ass doing about 140kms thinking that he can sit up there about 3cms to push me doing his speed. I wasn't going to have it so I slowed down to 100kms to match the truck's speed, and he really hated it. When I let him go, he thought it be a great idea to cut the truck and then me off, to then brake to cause and accident. Well lucky I had my wits about me and didn't but slowing down to 60kms in the right hand lane of the Hume is the best idea this guy had.

I really don't care, what really gets me is that the truck drivers were parsing me for doing what I did and no doubtlessly thinking another dick head in a skyline. Things like that ruin out reputation and being a proud owner of a better skyline then this bloke (r32 gtr) it hurts.

So if anyone sees this guy, don't be afraid to tell him to f**k off to a commode and stop ruining our reputation. I will be posting this in the ACT and NSW forums because no doubt he was off to summernats.

The car is a blue r33 gtst with a white flame decal on the bonnet and stupid cartoon fast and furious crap down the sides. And the license is Ytb 465 Vic plates.

To the dickhead if he is on here, piss off and stop giving us a bad name, and feel free to contact me, because I wouldn't mind your name so I can get the cops involved.

As an R33 GTS-T owner, I find myself living life in envy of R32 GTR owners. I've tried to compensate for it - gorgeous women, money, designer clothes, the tastiest fillet mignon in the land - no avail. I hope that one day I may at least sample the kind of lifestyle that owning an R32 GTR must entail. I'm not greedy, all I want is a taste, so that I can at least relate on some level when R32 GTR owners pull up alongside lesser vehicles, such as the later model R33 GTS-T, or say, a Murcielago. OP, I would drag my balls over half a mile of broken glass and tobasco sauce just to hear you fart through a walkie talkie.

I'm sure there is a Skyline owner somewhere ranting about a lunatic in an i30 that didn't keep left, on the Hume Hwy of all roads. Perhaps he even called the local police stating that said i30 created an unnecessarily dangerous situation whilst breaking the law.

Being stuck beside a truck is the last place you want to be...

I dont condone the actions of the skyline driver

But nothing pisses me off more than people hogging the right hand lane, doesnt matter if your doing 150 in the right hand lane, if someone is coming up behind you move over to the left. Its common courtesy and the law.

Oh how I agree.

Slowing down in the right lane makes me want to press the nos button and smash into them

There is no point in reporting him to the Police, They will tell you to report it to the "Hoon Hotline" or some such nonsense.

Im a supervisor at a call centre where we do afterhours escalations, Dr's paging, Emergency management + insurance claims. We ALSO take calls for "1800NOHOON" & the Casey Hoon Hotline.

I'll tell you right now that nothing gets done as the same bored old people call through the same shit all the time, After working there for 2.5 years i have also noted that around 80% of the calls are for Commodores and around 5% for Skylines.

The local station gets a report of these calls, I'm pretty sure they just file it all.

    • -10 is plenty for running to an oil cooler. When you look at oil feeds, like power steering feeds, they're much smaller, and then just a larger hose size to move volume in less pressure. No need for -12. Even on the race cars, like Duncans, and endurance cars, most of them are all running -10 and everything works perfectly fine, temps are under control, and there's no restrictions.
    • Update: O2 sensor in my downpipe turned out to be faulty when I plugged in to the Haltech software. Was getting a "open circuit" warning. Tons of carbon buildup on it, probably from when I was running rich for a while before getting it corrected. Replaced with new unit and test drove again. The shuffle still happens, albeit far less now. I am not able to replicate it as reliably and it no longer happens at the same RPM levels as before. The only time I was able to hear it was in 5th going uphill and another time in 5th where there was no noticeable incline but applying more throttle first sped it up and then cleared it. Then once in 4th when I slightly lifted the throttle going over a bump but cleared right after. My understanding is that with the O2 sensor out, the ECU relies entirely on the MAP tune and isn't able to make its small adjustments based on the sensors reading. All in all, a big improvement, though not the silver bullet. Will try validating the actuators are set up correctly, and potentially setting up shop time to tune the boost controller on closed loop rather than the open loop it is set to now. Think if it's set up on closed loop to take the O2 reading, that should deal with these last bits. Will try to update again as I go. 
    • More so GReddy oil relocation kits, sandwich plates, etc. all use 10AN fittings. And same, I've only used 10AN and my car sees track work (circuit, doing laps, not 10 sec squirt business).
    • street use or race track, what hose size and why? what factors change with the hose size options ?   see most comon is an10. when you see most oem external coolers are closer to an12? does high volume oil pump like nitto need an12 or 10 be just fine
