lol this happened to me just the other day. this orange xr8 ute came flying. i just pulled over and let him go. The last thing i want is to get rear ended. even tho it wouldnt be my fault, i just dont have the time to chase up insurance claims and have the car off the road.

A until they hassle me.

C if they tailgate REAL close and are giving the bird etc.

D if they obviously wanna get past, but aren't being tools about it.

Ditto. 'cept also watching their behaviour in answer A will play a big part in the rest. ie. If they look like they're on LSD or drunk I'll get the hell outta the way no matter what and that's a given.

Screwed if I'm getting hit by an uninsured deadshit.

A....

If they tail gate then i slow right down... Because i want to give them the extra stopping distance if i need to stop....

In my old car, i hit the brakes really hard once when i was being tail gated really bad and he was gonna kill me... He pulled out in front then ripped the hand brake and got out of his car with a steering lock... I s$#t myself and hit the hand brake and took off.... From now on ill stick to my speed and if they hit me in the event of emergeny braking then the police can sort it out.... Thats what their for....

I would confiscate their car and ban all others like it, then have the speed limit in the area reduced by 10km/h.

Seriously though, generally I'll let people past if it's safe to do so (or if it's even more dangerous NOT to get out of their way), otherwise they can sit back and wait, I'm not going to break the road laws or jeapordise myself and my car/bike to let them through.

as most ppl....A

unless they were looking a bit agressive and road-ragey...in that case i'd pull over and let them get the hell away from me!

As above... either A or D, depending on their attitude/if they look like they'll hit me if i don't get out of the way etc.

D/ Let the moron go past.

Many times times in situations like this, I have noticed the moron rapidly gaining on me from behind at illegal speeds, was in an unmarked car, and wearing a police uniform.

They just love to drive fast themselves and bait people.

Either of the four, depending on my mood.

Ditto!

If i was feeling bitchy that day Id slow down and make a right nuisance of myself or id slow down then floor it and watch them try to keep up. Excels seem to be the dags that try n hang off ya butt and its always funny watching them trying to keep up.

If i was feeling in a happy with the world mood then Id just turn up the music carry on my merry way and ignore them.

I would go "A" first up.

If there were overtaking opportunities I would go "C" and slow down to give him/her the hint to go for it.

If I was driving my work bus I would go "D" and pull over because it will only do about 40 flat out.

    • They are, a good friend of mine bought one to replace his blow factory turbo, running a Toshi Tune reflash. Just use their supplied water/oil lines and you're good to go. At the time, they were like $900 delivered.
    • This is an option for 100% bolt on, the GCG high flow -  https://gcg.com.au/turbo-charger-upgrade-skyline-gtst-2iu-xtrgts-s1.html Also, I'm pretty sure hypergear does a high flow that is 100% bolt on, it just doesn't make as much power as their bigger high flows.  Even if you get a hypergear turbo that requires you to chance the intake piping, it is a really simple modification. It can be as simple as a piece of silicon hose and you pop a filter on the end. It doesn't have to be some crazy pie cut titanium work of art intake pipe.  If you have the ability to swap the turbo yourself, you would be able to sort the intake piping out. 
    • Just as a thought, if it's in neutral, thats your drive line disconnect, not the clutch. Clutch slip at the dyno with pedal fully out, is actually adding a second disconnect. So it's not a clutch issue if you're in neutral. Just a bit of friction dragging the output around while in the air.
    • The HG high flow is excellent, and costs about the $$ you're talking about. But it, and probably every other highflow, uses a diffeent core than the original turo, and the original Hitatchi core is quite long. So, I think it is inevitable that there is likely no such thing as a highflow that just "bolts on" with no other effort required. And the same is likely true for HG's outright replacement "bolt on" turbos (the ATR things). And the same is likely true for anything similar from elsewhere. I have no idea if the cheap Chinese/Taiwanese complete turbos from eBay/Temu/etc are as bolt on as they claim. I mean, they claim the bolt onto the NAs as well as the turbos, and we know that can't be "bolt on". But it wouldn't matter because I'm not buying a $169 4 psi turbo for anything other than a paddock basher.
    • Bummer...yeah i "need" something to "ease" up the work and for my driving it would be enough.    Iam counting the tune "without" turbo. I do not mean "cheap" like something from Temu around 200 USD, "Cheap" is something around 1000 USD?
