Hey Guys, I wouldnt normally post this, and If the mods dont like it they can delete it, but

Driving home from Eastern Creek yesterday, a Maroon R33 GTR with the plates JET 26L was cutting in and out of traffic, driving like an absolute Dickhead, obviously speeding.

Narrowly missed me as he cut me off, as well as many other cars. All while cracking (external) gate.

Now time and a place for everything. This was 6pm along a busy Cowpasture road.

My only hope is that someone that knows the owner, will read this and tell them to pull there head in.

Its no wonder imports are targeted. FFS.

Tell me about it... Driving to Brisbane Sunday morning from the goldcoast I was sitting behind a nice looking black NA R34.. All of a sudden a 33 flys past doing well over 150ks.. Then the 34 infront of me decides to put the foot down and follow him weaving through traffic....

My skyline isn't on the road yet.. And this pisses me off so much.

Ruining for all car enthusiasts..

Why would you post this?

There are a lot more drivers who actually don't own imports and act like dicks on public roads, yet do you single them out everytime you see them do something wrong? No.

Is it because they don't own a Skyline and this somehow makes it less of an issue?

It's pointed out because people like this on the road is what gives the enthusiast community a bad name, and hopefully with a bit of name-and-shame, these people will pull their heads in.

Sure, there's other bad drivers out there, but when we're trying to change the public's opinion of us, having people driving like this just isn't helping.

I disagree Owen.

The driver isn't suddenly going to change their attitude even if by the small-chance they stumble upon this thread.

By always bringing attention to when someone does something wrong, it simply makes things worse.

You don't see ACA running stories of car enthusiasts on good behaviour during a cruise, you only see them run hooning stories and so on, which distorts how people generalise about people who own imports.

This isn't a helpful thread. I drive past more wankers in non sports cars than sports cars. Should I name and shame every single car which hoons?

I'm pretty sure every sports car owner has had a spirited run on the road at once point in their life. Hell even police have admitted to this in their "younger days".

Granted i have at a younger age pushed the pedal a little more than needed at the lights or left it creep up a couple of km over but there is a difference in being cheeky once in a while and doing absolutely idiotic things on the road. i agree name and shame. if they just left the lights and revved the engine a bit then hey they acting like a kid but if they endanger others and make a bad name for us as well as increase the insurance costs following accidents due to they're stupidity then by all means give them a kick up the proverbial a$$

"Code of Conduct" on the Membership Application indicates how we as Members are to behave.
CEF33Y & cpd are correct in trying to teach the Skyline speedster a 'lesson' before either a) the cops do, or b) a tragedy occurs

Not only that, if ACA/TT were to sensationalise a hoon story, we at least as a club can demonstrate how responsible our attitude really is!

Agree. If somehow we can deter this behaviour from occurring then it will be better for us.

Also agree though you do see many other people in "non" sports cars showing the same behaviour.

Terry, a lot of those who own an import do the right thing and act sensibly on the roads. I am just not sure publicly shaming that R33 driver is the best approach, as I highly doubt the owner of the vehicle will even come across this thread.

I do think the original post should have been worded a lot more carefully.....as media have a very good way of twisting things to suit...and I am not sure the club would have a chance to show we are sensible enthusiasts if they were to sensationalise a story.

For example, the following situation could arise...

Scenario

A concerned internet user documented his concerns on an online forum after an encounter with a souped up Nissan Skyline, fearing for not only his own safety, but the safety of other road users....

Then a snippet of the post is shown...

"Driving home from Eastern Creek yesterday, a Maroon R33 GTR with the plates JET 26L was cutting in and out of traffic, driving like an absolute Dickhead, obviously speeding. Narrowly missed me as he cut me off, as well as many other cars. All while cracking (external) gate".

^ Something such as the above scenario is my concern.

Asses the situation

- road conditions, number and distance of other vehicles, time of day, public opinion, potential police presence, your vehicle's and own capability, your speed and braking distances, state of mind (attitude), occupants of the vehicle, no drugs/alcohol, other drivers and your own maturity. If you have another person in your car then don't even ......

The track is for racing not public roads.

- I have no issue with solo spirited driving within reason on public roads (highways, freeways, winding roads outside city limits, NOT in built up areas - country). 110-140kmph fluctuating.

I get pleasure from driving my Skyline. If I drove it pedestrian 100% of the time I'd sell them and get a prius.

Consider what you will say to the Police, Magistrate, Mates mum or the parents/children when your involved in an accident. You yourself is inconsequential - except to your Family.

Just my immediate thoughts

there will always be tossers on the road unfortunately

I have 2 cars for this reason cause most if the time I drive my quiet smooth car that does everything I want it to. If I want to thrash the Gtr I go to a texi or hill climb.

And I'm sick of being called a hoon because I own a car similar to one that hit a tree doing 140km/h in a 60 zone

Correct Brett.

CAMs wanted in 2010 for all Car Clubs to have a Code of Conduct.

SAU.NSW had our Code 6 months before their instruction to.

What on earth would you write up that's different from our own?

And whilst we have a good Code of Ethics, do you think we should abide by it; or just pretend that we do?

There are definitely some very valid points being brought up.

I just have to add this as this happened last night driving home from work ...

A Rav4 overtook me while driving down a road:

1. On a single lane road

2. Crossing double lines

3. Speeding

4. No indicator used

5. With oncoming traffic (a TRUCK!) coming the other way

Now I was not driving my "sports" car (Skyline) yesterday. Nor was I doing anything other than driving normally from a long day at work. But I saw this car speeding up in my rear view mirror and I honestly didn't expect to see what happened afterwards. This was more than just illegal, it was dangerous in the circumstances.

Just felt like adding this after reading this thread.

      Unknown sound similar to BOV on positive boost with partial throttle RB26

      I don't think the shuffle can damage the turbos. It only happens at low shaft speeds and loads. It's just annoying (to some people - others are tickled by the effect) and it quite possibly reduces spool performance a little bit.

      Oh dear. The panel beating needs to be done before the filler work. Do you have a photo of the dent before you started? Hard enough to not flex and only hit the high spots?  What do you mean it was just temporary?

      I appreciate the detailed explanation, think I understand now. I spent the better part of last night reading what I could about shuffle and potential solutions. I had replaced the OEM twin turbo pipe with an alternate Y pipe that is separated further away from the turbo. The current one is from HKS and I had a previous pipe that was separated even further away, both have shuffle. I had heard that a divider can be welded in to the OEM pipe to remove turbulence, and figure that aftermarket pipes that are more separated would achieve the same thing. From what I read, most people with -10 turbos get shuffle due to their size, though it's a bit less common with -5s on a standard RB26. I think Nismoid mentioned somewhere it's because OEM recirculation piping is common in Australia with -5 cars. It seems that the recommendation tends to vary between a few options, which I've ordered in what I think is most feasible for me:  1. Retune the MAP or boost controller to try to eliminate shuffle 2. Install OEM recirculation piping 3. Something called a 'balance pipe' welded onto the exhaust manifolds. I don't know if kits for this are available, seems like pure fabrication work 4. simply go single turbo My current layout is as follows: Garrett 2860 -5s HKS Racing Suction intake MAF delete pipes HKS racing chamber intake piping hard intercooler piping,  ARC intercooler HKS SSQV BOV and pipe Haltech 2500 elite ECU and boost solenoid/controller HPI dump pipes OEM exhaust manifolds HKS VCAM step 1 and supporting head modifications Built 2.6 bottom end All OEM recirculation piping was removed, relevant areas sealed off I'll keep an eye out for any alternative solutions but can get started with this.  Only other question is, does shuffle harm the turbo (or anything else)? It seems like some people say your turbo shafts will explode because of the opposing forces after a while and others say they just live with it and adjust their pedal foot accordingly.
