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

mark

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.

    • So stock ECU does not like anything above 10 psi?  That Nistune one is just for "try" if it will be any different, I know it need to be tune for that. I know but YOU may know about these problem but i/we dont. They few little Skylines here let alone people who know anything about tham so that is why iam asking here  
    • So now we have a radiator with no attachments whatsoever. It lifts up with a particularly tight spot between the drivers side air box mount and the lower radiator outlet, but if you've got this far you will sort that too. This is the lower mounts with the rad out so you can see where the rubber bushes go, it is a straight shot upwards Done! Assembly is the reverse of disassembly, with blood less likely to be shed.
    • Right, onto the second last trick. The Air Con condenser is mounted to the front of the radiator and stays in the car when the radiator is removed. There are 2x 10mm headed self tappers holding the top of the condenser to the radiator, remove those The bottom of the condenser is attached to the radiator with clips. You need to lift the condenser out of those clips and clear (up, then forward). f**ked if  could work out how to do that last bit with the front bumper on. I hope you can, and you share the trick.  Bumper removal probably deserves its own thread one day once I've recovered the will to live, but basically you need to remove the wheels, front inner guard liners (clips and 10mm headed bolts), the self tapper between the guard and the bumper at the rearmost point of the bumper (same as an R32 that bit), any remaining clips at the top/front of the grill, an absolute bastard design with a plate that holds the top of the bumper above the headlight each side (only 1 bolt which is tricky to get to, but the plate catches 2 places on the bumper and must be removed....carefully!) and push clips between the bumper and guard under the headlight. If you've done all that you will be faced with wiring for the fog lights on both sides and in ADM Q50 RS at least, 4 nasty tight plugs on the driver's side for the ADAS stuff. So, the clips at the bottom look like this on drivers side (looking from the front) And on the passenger side (also from the front), you can see this one is already out Clearance on both of these are super tight; the condenser needs to move up but the upper rad support mount prevents that, and the radiator can't move down far because it is (rubber) mounted. Once you achieve the impossible and drop the condenser off those mounts so it does not stop the rad moving, you are good to go
    • OK, next the shroud needs to come off and there are a couple of tricks. Firstly, there is a loom from near the passenger side headlight to the fans, coolant temp sensor etc and there is no plug to undo.  In my case I was OK to leave the shroud on top of the engine so I just undid the passenger side fan plug and about 10 of the clips which gave enough free wire to put it aside. The fan plugs were super tight, the trick I used was a small falt screwdriver to push down on the release tab, then a larger flat screwdriver to lever the plug out of the fan unit....be careful with how much force you apply! If you need to remove the shroud altogether for some reason you will have to deal with all the plugs (tight) and clips (brittle)....good luck. I removed all of the clips and replaced them with cable ties that I will just cut next time. Also, in the Red Sport / 400R at least, the intake heat exchanger reservoir hose is bolted to the shroud in 2 places with 10mm headed bolts; so remove them (the hose stays in the car; no need to undo it at the t fittings down at the radiator lower mount. Once you've dealt with the HX hose and the wiring loom, there are 3x 10mm headed self tappers holding the top of the shroud to the radiator; remove those.   The shroud then lifts out of the bottom mounts where it sits on the radiator, up and onto the engine out of the way.

    • Ok, disregard my “rate them” comment, sorry for my unrealistic input
