Switching from a luxury 4 door sedan to a Skyline I could never have guessed how much it influences peoples behaviour around you. As soon as they get a glimpse of the car 50% of drivers gun their cars.

Its flapping annoying, especially since I have no interest in racing them and just want to drive economically. And I'm not talking sports cars, no, I mean ANY car they are in. Even young girl drivers or middle aged men that are in Barinas or Getz.

I find wherever I go in Sydney except the CBD I get people tailgating me, then overtaking me or accelerating hard off the lights if they are in another lane next to me. My car is a piece of shit so but its got a 400R kit with deepish 19in rims so I guess from far it looks quick.

I blame the Fast and Furious movies. I wish the skyline was a niche car for people that appreciate it, not something to be bought for scraps and trashed by every dickhead that buys it. I know a few wreckers and you wouldn't believe the amount of accident damaged skylines I see. At least 5 a week and most are R33s.

sometimes going down to Sydney , even in a 3 lane section the outside is bloked and they just fn sit there no matter what you do because I do not think they ever look in the rear visions, bloody madening :rant: some times you have to go to the inside lane to get past the AH :glare:

The problem is when you stamp on it to overtake and get caught the fines go through the roof because you can hit some high numbers by the time you pull back in.

In the old days you were allowed to over take as quickly as you could and when you have over taken get back on the speed limit, this is a better way to do it, bit hard now as you cannot speed to over take and you can sit out there as the bloke you are over taking also increases his bloody speed, I do it ASAP and take the chance, stupid , I guess so ???

yeah I get it all the time on appin road / appin bulli road (Sydney)..........I really don't give a f**k about how far up my arse they are, im doing the posted speed limit, if they highbeam me I just fold my side mirrors in then I care even less about what I cant see.

I have the same comment for Abdul's post as well.

I call them TOWNIES, because they don't get out of town very often & they forget that its a $220 fine here in NSW for failing to keep left, unless overtaking.

If only the boys in blue would book them more often, they would relieve ALOT of tension on the roads & reduce accidents, especially during holiday times......

B-b-b-u-t by driving Camrys, they feel entitled to default to lane 3 or 2 :whistling::whistling:

Old Confucian Saying...

"Man who has open road ahead is probably blocking traffic"

:P

:teehee:

I rarely get tailgated because I use my rear view mirror and predict a tailgater early and I get out of their way before they have a chance to do so....even if it means I have to speed up a little to do so...I know it sounds crazy right?...

I make up for it by indicating late to annoy people behind me...and the closer you are...the later I indicate :devil:

yes

i so knew you would do that ;)

funnily enough do find alot of skyline drivers drive like f**king grandmas..

But I empathize that they are probably too worried about being butt raped by the popo should they do anything ............well, anything!

    • It is a kunfine Android screen . Does anyone know the wirering diagram of the fuga ??
    • just an update to this, poor man pays twice  Tried sanding down the pulleys but it didnt do the trick. Chucked another second hand alternator in the na car which I got for free off my mate and its fixed the squelling. Must have been unlucky with the bearings.    As for my turbo car, I managed to pick up a cwc rb alternator conversion bracket + LS alternator for 250 off marketplace, looked to be in really good nick. Installed it , started the car and its not charging the battery.... ( Im not good with auto elec stuff so im not sure if this was all I needed to do but I verified such by using a multimeter on the battery when the engine was running and I was only getting 12.2v )   I had to modify the earth strap for the new LS alternator , factory earth strap was a 10mm bolt which did not fit the bolt on the LS alternator which was double the size so I cut it off , went to repco bought some ring terminals that fit, crimped it onto the old earth strap and bolted it up to the alternator , started the car and same issue. Ran like shit and was reading 12.2 at the battery.  For a "plug and play" advertised kit thats not very plug and play but alas.  My question is , am I missing something ? Ive been reading that some people recommend upgrading the stock 80 amp alternator fuse to a 140 amp but I dont see how that would stop the alternator charging especially at idle not under load.  Regardless ive pulled it out and am going to get it bench tested by an auto elec tomorrow but it would be handy to know if ive missed something silly or have done something wrong.   
    • My wild guess is that you have popped off an intake pipe....check all of the hoses between the turbo and the throttle for splits or loose clamps.
    • Awesome, thanks for sharing!
    • To provide more specific help, more information is needed. What Android screen? What is its wiring diagram? Does the car's wiring have power at any required BAT and ACC wires, and is the loom's earth good?
