Picked up the paper and the byline screamed, “Police seek white Skyline driver”.

OK a Skyline driver did something silly, but how often do we read, “Police seek naturally aspirated V6 Commodore driver”?

Never.

Something about the Skyline name conjures up images of fast/furious smoking tyres and in most of those cases it will be some dunger Commodore or a rusted-out S chassis.

The local rag must have mentioned “white Skyline” at least 4-times in the report while the main story of a “B” double car transporter roll-over read more like an ad for Claytons Towing.

I was surprised the usual "high powered turbo Nissan Skyline" wasn't quoted. Have to wonder if any of these scribblers have ever been for a drive in a stock Rb, it's not all that exhilarating.

Got to love integrity in journalism, oxymoron anyone??

Fact: NA V6 Commodores are the fastest ever man-made object. All people ever see is a blur, so they cannot be identified when involved in criminal activity. :P

I guess it's much the same as any article about a road incident involving a person under the age of 25 classifying them as a "hoon", or "boy racer" in NZ.

    • 140-150 across the board. At this point hoping the grounding harness fixes it. My grounds are all tied to the chassis and none to the battery. For SR and KA that’s never been a problem for me but had a few other guys here and Reddit who told me RB really like a very solid ground setup tied to the battery so going to try that next, I’m stumped if that doesn’t do it. Never had a car have spark and fuel and not fire off before. Only thing I can think is the spark is intermittent/weak because of grounds nothing else really makes sense at this point 
    • I am having close to the same issue. Can you help me with what wire you grounded to get your pump to trigger?
    • If you are getting that sort of fuel usage, you might as well be back in the stagea
    • Looks good mate, those stainless lines must be a bastard to do neatly. Better get it to a track again sometime soon, I'm doing to Wakie day next Wednesday to see if the v37 likes cool weather better than hot weather....
    • If you've got spark, and you've got fuel, it needs once last thing to go vroom... Have you compression checked the motor?
