Hi all...

Just thought that i should share you what happened at the high way last night.

Ok..i went to pick my mum up from some party.. it's pretty much bushy place so i decided to leave the skyline at home and took my 94 civic which is very rice i must admit..(u know, chromies,EL H badge and clear lights etc ) but anyhow.. i took the high way on the way back so it's quicker..high way was pretty much 2 way 2 lane road..driving along with my nice music on enjoying my big bass while doing 90K's on a hundred zone...there was this car behind me.. HID lights...very bright and was like on a high beam and was driving way too close behind me sort to like -- " Hey you in the Honda..move out the way "-- i didn't really pay much attention to it much...,thinking just another BMW or a LEXUS perhaps with their shiny head lights..i tend not to look much on the rear view mirror as it's pretty bright and an eye sore for me.. but i went to look behind and the car was closer..so.. i hit the gas pedal till i hit the 100K's...still too close...so i went 110K's...still too close...and i was like.." WAT DA"..! then Finally...i saw my exit...took my exit lane and there....--- BRRR ... WHOOSSHH... the UFO ( unidentified flying object ) finally revealed.

A BLUE R34 GTR....!!!! -- gone even before i reached my exit...and i was like-- WAT THE #$%@...!! :( -- lucky you i wasn't driving my skyline otherwise...!! ( not that i'd stand a chance )

But hey....common guys... let's all admit...some of us do drive like a jerk thinking we're superior to other cars.

I for one do admit that sometimes i do stupid things especially on the high way.. like the other day...a truck was in front of me and was doing 80 on 100 zone.. and being a one lane high way..there's no way you could overtake this truck.. but there was this exit sort of like coming from behind heading my way and joining lane... i did the stupidest thing ,.crossed the double lane and took that lane to overtake the truck and oh boy...i must admit i got a little scared there..but i just made it in time for the two lanes to join..whew...!! :throwup:

Now tell me....if its just me or Skylines do have some "weird" effects on the drivers that makes some of us drives like Jerkies ? :rofl:

c'mon...not even once in your driving career you've been tempted into doing something stupid...hey...for everyones info...i actually have a clean record..no trafic fines whatsoever.. never even had any defect or anything so...got pulled over twice for random breathtest and that's it...but sometimes i get some intimidations from other cars that when they looked at me like as if-- " what a piece of japcrap "... and i was like...want a piece of me ? but i dont race on streets...actually..never have..i did on the high way though...even pushed my ride up to 220ks on a hundred zone...for sure some of us did the same.

But yeah,..i supposed...doesn't really matter what car we drives...if we're a jerk...then its in the blood.

only reason i overtook the truck was that,..i was late for Uni..HE HE

and i was like...want a piece of me ?

not trying to dog you out here but sometimes its easier just to ignore other idiot drivers than to play along. when i think of doin something reckless i hear this loud voice in my head that says "your a freakin moron, dont even think about it!!" i guess not everyone hears what i hear....LOL:D:D

You will always find idiots on the road, I am one of them occasionally, either through anger or impatience. I pulled into a street in a 50k zone the other day and found some douche bag up my ass in a fully sik VN V8 moite, I pulled over and let him go, why should i need to prove that my car is faster?? is he gonna pay my fine?? I think NOT.

Some idiot tried to merge infront of me yesterday when i had already given way and i found myself speeding around everyone like an angry hoon instead of letting him in, had i been in a lesser valued car i would have shut him down legitimately.

People tend to get angry too easily these days

Yeah..........I've done some things I probably shouldn't have.

I wanted to see if my GTSt is really speed limited to 180 k/h. Managed to get it past the 180k end of speedo (prob @ 190k) in 4th @ 6,500 - UPHILL - but ran out of safe road.

Anyone know if these are actually speed limited to 180k??????????????

Whatever, we all look like wimps compared to the members of the MID NIGHT CLUB in Tokyo. These guys take their machines (20-30 all together) out after midnight for a freeway rally at 300+ km/hr !!!!!!!!!!

I remember seing you pull onto the monash freeway once a few months ago near wellington road and be very impatient :P

    • Bit of an update to this one. Having some issues on the dyno that held us back (boost spiking) and I want to pass some info over you guys and see what you think is wrong with my setup. The current readout on this dyno is 462rwkw on a low reading dyno so keep in mind it is a real world 500rwkw setup on a hub dyno. Don't read into the power figure too much as a sign of the issue. The short and curly of it is: 2.8 Litre Racepace build RB25 NEO N/A Head with VCT (internally standard however ) Borgwarner EFR 8474  Turbosmart 50mm Straight Gate + Mac valve 6Boost Manifold 4" dump to full 4" exhaust (nil restrictions) Wastegate plumbed back in and all angles in the exhaust system are acceptable and not too sharp. GFB SV52 BOV in cooler piping  Turbosmart BOV in EFR Housing   The issue we are having is it comes onto full boost for example at 4000rpm and spikes to 24/25psi, before dropping down to 17psi before slowly rising back up to the target boost of 23psi. It was extremely uncontrollable and the tuner actually had to ramp in boost progrssively with each 1000rpm on each boost setting we selected to try and reduce the amount of spiking. Sometimes we would see a drop of 10psi from the peak at the beginning of the run, to the low, until it took the next 500-1000rpm to stabilise back up to the target boost. The tuner is pretty confident that the straight gate is just a poorly designed product and leaks too much boost upon cracking the gate open and theres no way to fix it other than going to a poppet valve. He's also confient theres no ignition breakdown or floating valves. The fueling is extremely stable as well. Turbo speed is somewhere around the 109,000rpm area. The spanner in the works for me is that prior to this Borgwarner and StraightGate, the car was tuned on -5 twins at a diferent tuner, and he also had issues controlling the boost with it spiking around the same rpm range, so to me this sounds like the same issue and it can't be anything on the turbo side as this was all changed and I think the behaviour is extremely similar, if not the same. We also removed the mac valve and did a run on wastegate pressure and it still spiked and had the same behaviour. My thoughts on possibilities are: Boost Leak VCT Cam Gear isn't reliably activating consistently - (On this however, we did a run with the VCT disabled and the boost still spiked) Turbosmart BOV is not handling the boost? However this seems unlikely to not be able to handle 20psi. I have a couple of logs that I can't make sense of if anybody knows how to read them and can obtain further logs of other parameters if they are not enough, happy to pay for anyones time. The dyno readout with the power figure is the most recent last week. The other picture is from two weeks prior to that where we couldn't break 400kw (we removed the cat), however the issue of the boost control persisted. @Lithium @Piggaz @burn4005 @GTSBoy @discopotato03 I've tagged those that were quite active in recent pages here, no disrespect to those that know turbos well but I missed tagging. Cheers 
    • I recently purchased a 2018 Infiniti Q60, which has an SD card navigation map. I can see my system has options for real time traffic updates etc, and am wondering if there is something I can purchase to get this working? I can see there are at least updated maps for USA and Canada, but nothing for Australia. Surely Infiniti took changing road systems and city expansions into account when they decided to use an inbuilt navigation over Android Auto/Apple Car Play, or are we doomed to drive on streets that don't exist in the navigation system if you drive to a new area?
    • Luckily I didn't put in etch primer as I just found out it's not compatible with my body filler lol. Also just need to sand the panel anywhere between 150-400 grit so I'm in the clear there. It does say to not apply to soft old paint, I assume that means paint that is flaking, peeling,etc
    • @dbm7 and @GTSBoy thank you both very much! will give that a shot!
