Story Time.....

I had a funny incident many years ago in my VS Commodore..

It was a mild 5ltr 5speed, bilstein suspension etc. So it handled and accelerated/stopped fairly well. (for a commodore) :D

I was driving along when a bloke in his red VN commodore stopped in the middle of the round about for no apparent reason.

It caught me off guard and I went a little close to his arse (of the car). :P

He dropped a huge arsed wheely and took off..

Once over the bridge he slowed right down to 20km/h.

I sat behind indicated and went to over take.

He dropped it back and took off.

He hugged the right lane and pulled up next to me (I was in the left).

He pulled out a base ball bat and said some thing along the lines of i'm going to smash you or the car up.

I can't really remember exactly what was said it was close to 5years ago now :D

Any way... At this time we were doing about 60km/h so I dropped it back to second and left his pos for dead.

Up in to an 80km/h zone and single lane. He tried to overtake I wouldn't let him...

Then I new the area so as he began to over take and got side by side I slammed the brakes (luv'd the ABS) and darted off in to a side street which left him locking it up and hitting the dirt.

Was funny too see... :(

He had no chance.

I simply looped back around and went upon my way on the single lane 80km/h road.

Thats y u should always carry protection in the boot :D

I only had an experience when i went infront of this guy to cross through the lanes,  to the right lane from the sidestreet because i had to turn right right away. When i was waiting for traffic to clear the guy stops in the middle of the road and starts going spastic. I turned on my hazard lights, got out of the car, went to the boot and bulled out Bluey (my good old crow bar) went towards him and his car. (im scary when i go spastic) Once he saw me coming towards him with a crow bar i dont think he wanted to stick around so he drove away.

i wonder if he still carries his golf clubs in his boot

The club/crowbar thing always reminds me of that scene in 'Raiders of the Lost Ark' where the big dude with the scimitar threatens Ford, and he just gets out his gun and blows him away. Crowbars don't equal guns, I reckon the GTFOH [Get the F outa Here] is the best way, otherwise u could end up D=E=A=D, or very second hand.

*scared* ok maybe not dont feel like being shot today im too young to die!! hehehe

MWAHAHAH :devil2: someone is scared of me..

...seriously though, if someone did anything like that to me (chase me I mean) I would prob get so scared and just drive to get as far away as possible, I hate people like that who jus go nuts :cuss: for no reason.. funny how its usually someone in a crapper car than yours huh?

I had some dero lady/family that never brush their hair in the passenger seat of a 120Y call me a "F*ck head" for no apparent reason after pulling out of a side street once (2 laned road) who knows maybe they were going to change lanes or something and didn't indicate.

I accelerated up next to them and said "Excuse me". She had her other half driving and kids in the back seat. I asked her why she swore at me.. she ignored me so I began giving them a little bit of shit calling them dero's and if they wanted their kids to grow up like the low lifes they were they should keep swearing and abusing other people they come across.

I was very calm and smiling the whole time.. Enjoyed it thoroughly.....

lol

The driver didn't like me calling them 'bums' and freaked out at this point trying to get me to pull over..

As if I would have pulled over especially with them having their kids in the car.. stupid ppls.

Whats to say I wasn't going to jump out with the club lock, loose the plot and smash some knee's up or even in todays society pull a gun on them....

Hahah nice story -Joel-, keeping it kool, i've been lucky & never had road rage really. I've had some jealous commodore pricks up my ass but i've slowed down instead to piss them off then just booted it @ left'em for dead.

I Had a commodore with car load of idiots yelling out "wog, f#cking wog" after i booted it in 2nd behind me. Ummmm im actually an aussie dudes..... Tossers, ends up i knew the guys & they didnt know it was me my new car... lol Bloody idiots.

Said wanker from Amaru's and my own story above had their kids in the car also, with the wife going rank at us while the hubby behind the wheel tryed to steer his boat after the GTR.

Ahaha you just reminded me about the falcon at calwell shops :P another priceless incident although you egged on that situation quite a bit :D

    • Who did you have do the installation? I actually know someone who is VERY familiar with the AVS gear. The main point of contact though would be your installer.   Where are you based in NZ?
    • Look, realistically, those are some fairly chunky connectors and wires so it is a reasonably fair bet that that loom was involved in the redirection of the fuel pump and/or ECU/ignition power for the immobiliser. It's also fair to be that the new immobiliser is essentially the same thing as the old one, and so it probably needs the same stuff done to make it do what it has to do. Given that you are talking about a car that no-one else here is familiar with (I mean your exact car) and an alarm that I've never heard of before and so probably not many others are familiar with, and that some wire monkey has been messing with it out of our sight, it seems reasonable that the wire monkey should be fixing this.
    • Wheel alignment immediately. Not "when I get around to it". And further to what Duncan said - you cannot just put camber arms on and shorten them. You will introduce bump steer far in excess of what the car had with stock arms. You need adjustable tension arms and they need to be shortened also. The simplest approach is to shorten them the same % as the stock ones. This will not be correct or optimal, but it will be better than any other guess. The correct way to set the lengths of both arms is to use a properly built/set up bump steer gauge and trial and error the adjustments until you hit the camber you need and want and have minimum bump steer in the range of motion that the wheel is expected to travel. And what Duncan said about toe is also very true. And you cannot change the camber arm without also affecting toe. So when you have adjustable arms on the back of a Skyline, the car either needs to go to a talented wheel aligner (not your local tyre shop dropout), or you need to be able to do this stuff yourself at home. Guess which approach I have taken? I have built my own gear for camber, toe and bump steer measurement and I do all this on the flattest bit of concrete I have, with some shims under the tyres on one side to level the car.
    • Thought I would get some advice from others on this situation.    Relevant info: R33 GTS25t Link G4x ECU Walbro 255LPH w/ OEM FP Relay (No relay mod) Scenario: I accidentally messed up my old AVS S5 (rev.1) at the start of the year and the cars been immobilised. Also the siren BBU has completely failed; so I decided to upgrade it.  I got a newer AVS S5 (rev.2?) installed on Friday. The guy removed the old one and its immobilisers. Tried to start it; the car cranks but doesnt start.  The new one was installed and all the alarm functions seem to be working as they should; still wouldn't start Went to bed; got up on Friday morning and decided to have a look into the no start problem. Found the car completely dead.  Charged the battery; plugged it back in and found the brake lights were stuck on.  Unplugging the brake pedal switch the lights turn off. Plug it back in and theyre stuck on again. I tested the switch (continuity test and resistance); all looks good (0-1kohm).  On talking to AVS; found its because of the rubber stopper on the brake pedal; sure enough the middle of it is missing so have ordered a new one. One of those wear items; which was confusing what was going on However when I try unplugging the STOP Light fuses (under the dash and under the hood) the brake light still stays on. Should those fuses not cut the brake light circuit?  I then checked the ECU; FP Speed Error.  Testing the pump again; I can hear the relay clicking every time I switch it to ON. I unplugged the pump and put the multimeter across the plug. No continuity; im seeing 0.6V (ECU signal?) and when it switches the relay I think its like 20mA or 200mA). Not seeing 12.4V / 7-9A. As far as I know; the Fuel Pump was wired through one of the immobiliser relays on the old alarm.  He pulled some thick gauged harness out with the old alarm wiring; which looks to me like it was to bridge connections into the immobilisers? Before it got immobilised it was running just fine.  Im at a loss to why the FP is getting no voltage; I thought maybe the FP was faulty (even though I havent even done 50km on the new pump) but no voltage at the harness plug.  Questions: Could it be he didnt reconnect the fuel pump when testing it after the old alarm removal (before installing the new alarm)?  Is this a case of bridging to the brake lights instead of the fuel pump circuit? It's a bit beyond me as I dont do a lot with electrical; so have tried my best to diagnose what I think seems to make sense.  Seeking advice if theres for sure an issue with the alarm install to get him back here; or if I do infact, need an auto electrician to diagnose it. 
    • Then, shorten them by 1cm, drop the car back down and have a visual look (or even better, use a spirit level across the wheel to see if you have less camber than before. You still want something like 1.5 for road use. Alternatively, if you have adjustable rear ride height (I assume you do if you have extreme camber wear), raise the suspension back to standard height until you can get it all aligned properly. Finally, keep in mind that wear on the inside of the tyre can be for incorrect toe, not just camber
