Since australia day, well since i have gotten my skyline (about 2 months ago now) there have been so many idiots that just do stupid things like tailgate me, and just cut me off. There must be a big sticker on my car that says tailgate me and cut me off please i like it.

Other than that, how many accidents have happened recently, last nite (australia day night) well about 1am the morning after ;) coming home, this vs commodore comes past me over the wrong side of the road doing 100+kmph in a 60 zone, comes up to a red light, goes through it, slamming his brakes, t-bones two cars, one of which got spun around and hit another oncoming car. Now the passenger got out with a blood soaked head, and got to the side of the road asking for help, an ambo did come later, and the driver staggered out of the car, looked fine, and then ran off a short while later, then the cops rocked up getting statements off everyone, this sort of driving activity shits me to tears, i tear up the road and race people to a certain speed, never dangerously or in any dangerous areas, maybe princess hwy sometimes :( hehe

so where is all the media placing commodore drivers as wankers?

oh hang on wait, if this was a skyline or 200sx, or any import it would of been on the news.

any ****wit that drives like that deserves severe punishment doesnt matter if they drive a skyline (looks around the room) lol

Geez, most commodores are too slow to cause major accidents, come on! haha

Nah in all honesty, Most drivers I see on the roads that have no idea are old/ middle aged and female, boganish middle age men in Commodores.. 20-25 year olds in Commodores.

And 17-20 in Imports.

But the most dangerous out of all those, being the Import drivers, as they're usually boosting around blind corners etc. Whereas the Commodore drivers are usually tailgating and the middle aged women just have no idea.

my prevoius cars, were in order of owning, a 1986 holden camira (throws up) a 1987 vl calais turbo, and a 1978 holden hz gts monaro, so as you can imagine most of my cars have been, well, they stand out. but i see people doing stupid things no matter what cars they have, i am actually finding that european car drivers (audi, bmw and mercedes) to name a few actually have no idea how to drive whats so ever. As if they think they are to good to have to follow the laws and have any sort of decency.

but yo get your good and bad drivers in all cars, just some more than others, young p-platers in performance cars, whether its a v8, turbo or what ever think they are top shit. I used to drive a bit like an idiot, but had the brains to do it in the right sort of places, ie. totally visable, and totally empty road ahead.

Watch the road very carefully !!!!!!!!

also watch out for new cars with dints on them already ;)

They can't put shite in the media about commodores and falcons being dangerous and bad

I believe its all part of a governement plan to get rid of imports, they make it harder to import them, they bad mouth them in the news, they make us all out to be street racers. If they put bad stuff about australian made cars in the news, it'll lower the sales of the crappy holdens

I delivered my son's R33 after his return from o/s. No matter where I drove, someone wanted to go faster, and they were all Excells, Corollas etc. I took note the Clubsports and XR6 turbo's had nothing to prove, just cruised on with a wave.

I know what grunt it's got, how it can stop and handle generally.

But those little shit boxes going 120 plus on the pizza cutter tyres scare me as much as the 3 tonne 4-wheel drivers doing 130.

And what's with that bright red light on the rear skirt of Hyundai's. Got to be illegal, like driving into high beam continuously.

Regards.

The biggest problems i always find is the P platers in vn commodores. It doesn't seem to matter if they only have a v6 thats only running on 5 cylinders and is blowing smoke out the exhaust, as far as they are concerned if you see an import, its race time.

But since i have been driving a skyline for the past two years, it has become "normal" for me to be cut off or challenged to a race at every second set of lights. i suppose its the price you pay for having a nice car.

    • I seem to the be only person that is using a Haltech 2500 on an NA motor, I've installed a Bosch DBW throttle body to the OEM intake manifold and am having problems maintaining AFR even with the wideband o2.  It will run extremely rich at idle and up to redline, but under load it will go extremely lean in the 20s and i'm essentially having to rev it over 4k and feather the clutch to get it up to speed.  I've read a few other threads of about the butterfly, it seems removing the vacuum to it is supposed to have it remain open, i've noticed no difference under 4k with the vacuum line to it plugged.  I'm hoping someone here has had luck using the NA manifold with Haltech, and if they happen to have a tune for it.  
    • I don't know any details, but I really wouldn't be surprised if they do it as a LHD only version, at least initially.
    • Thanks for the replies everyone. Definitely a coolant push. Oil catch can is empty and always has been. As the engine is out now I'll be having a good look over things. I do have some detonation on the piston tops from a trigger issue back about 5 years ago. I felt it and shut off then bought a new ecu and changed the trigger. Never been an issue since. It never hurt the power, its made almost 80hp more since that incident but I will pull the bearing caps to take a look. If the bearings are damaged I will do a bottom end refresh. Head is being re conditioned at the moment and the block will be cleaned and checked to ensure it's flat. I'll go with a kameari gasket and see how it ends up. The other thing I'm not super keen on is the cylinder colours. I suspect this is from the inlet manifold. The plan will be to put it back together, retune and then stick a plazmaman billet inlet on it and retune. I'm happy with the power, if it makes a little more, then great, but I would rather just make everything more efficient at this stage.
    • Maybe they'll look to do a bunch of presales to help inject some cash fast for their financial issues...
    • Does it also misfire equally when revving?   Josh is very correct in what you should do. The coilpack harness wiring loom itself is a known problem due to its age and the number of heat cycles it has gone through. Throwing parts at a vehicle to diagnose the issue isn't a smart or good way to do it. Secondly, you may have a bad coil pack, you pop replacements in, they fix that issue, but messing with the harness breaks it, so the issue persists. So now you think "well it wasn't the coil packs" and have to continue chasing your tail, potentially swapping back in your shit coil packs and returning the good ones (yes, I've seen people do this because 'it wasn't the problem' and they want to save money). And suddenly, you've got two issues with the same symptoms...   Diagnose, don't use the spare parts shotgun.
