Hey Guys,

This takes the cake..

Just took the car to the petrol station for some gas, came out and had these nice old guys marvelling at my GTR, asking questions about it, amazed and in awe.. I was being pretty friendly towards the fellow nissan enthusiasts who had an older done up pulsar.

Anyway so we're briefly talking and this guy in a v8 comes up next to us and goes "WHATS IT GOT IN IT MAAAaaattee".. One of the guys goes "Hah! we where just talking about that" Bogan sensors going crazy I suggested that it was a Skyline when the bogan insisted on asking if it was a Silvia.

Now let me at this part of the story paint a picture for you.. The bogan had some 16 year old slapper from the pub firmly planted in his passenger seat. I dont know much about commodores but I know my friend has a VP and its the same bubble shape, though I could tell from the note it was a v8.

Anyways this guy loses it saying "Dont talk to me about cars mate" (after telling him what car I owned) "It sucks air" (or something to that effect) "I'm taking mine down south to get supercharged blah blah blah 400kw" "Smoke your Jap CRAP"

Meanwhile, me and these other guys are dumbfounded, one of the guys goes "Yeah that thing looks like it needs a baby seat in the back."

I was too shocked to utter the fateful "Go back to ipswich/woodridge/inala mate" but it had to happen.

Anyone else got any Bogan encounter stories? :)

haha, well i used to drive a vl with 26 and now in the stagea i get heaps of p plater vn's and vp's coming up for drags when im just cruisin along casually, and aint coped any bogan comments yet, but they always look and stare and then i put my foot down and they just looked stunned lol :confused:

one memorable one was a young boy in a pulsar sss with full racing shit all over it and farting exhuast, he comes next to me at about 60kmh and drops it back a gear and looks at me and he takes off infront, so i just drop it back and went past him soo damn quick and into the distance i would have loved to have seen his facial expression as i went past :)

gotta love sleepers :Pimp2:

Bwahahaha... Every single Falcodore bogan wannabe who has ever made the effort to stop and "have a chat" about any Skyline I've been in / with has always, ALWAYS been "gunna" get it turbocharged / supercharged next week / month...

Take it as a compliment... Jealousy at it's finest... :)

in the frst 2 days i had my car bogan ford drivers would come up n say dumb s*** like that, suprisingly no commy drivers have ever said/done anything that would hint anything of what they thought about the car, just ford drivers, i dislike them all lol.

theres 2 many stories for me to tell so meh to it :).

it'd be funny when they tryed to but, there engine would go boom fizzle snap, and then we'd be like.... so much for V8 power.... lol

This is a classic:

About 6 years ago I was with my younger brother in his S13 Silvia (it was stock), and these two losers in a VN roll up beside us at the lights on our right. My bro's air con needed regassing so we had our windows down all the way, so the losers in the VN roll theirs down while just pointing and laughing at us... really ironic as their VN was the biggest piece of sh!t with chrome hubcaps and body moulding unstuck and drgging on the ground.

Anyway, they start (omg - this is just so unexpected! :D) revving their engine. At this point my bro had full composure and just started picking his nose... what a champ. The lights go green and VN makes a loud noise and off he goes down the road breaking the speed limit obviously. So we take off normally and up ahead the VN *slamms* on their brakes just as they go past a cop on a motorcylce coming out of a carpark... teh VN slowed right down and as we drove past them we just start pointing and laughing as those VN 'tards just sink in their seats... 30 seconds later they get pulled over...

classic rezz...classic

we had the same sort of thing when we were travelling in our r31

pulled up to the stop lights (dad was driving) and this commy shit pulled up next to us

bogan p plater thought that he could be the shit and b tough

revved the shit out of the engine and the sort

dad just kept a straight face

light went green, dad got the jump

mashed the accelerator down and left the commy in the dust

those dickheads didn't know what happened

it was the funniest shit ever (especially a full passenger load (2 adults 2 older teens) and not even accelerator on the floor - had he done that would have left the biggest black mark ever from my dad!!)

Out here there are plenty of bogans. Usually in utes.

I had a 5.0 VT (or whatever) ute next to me in a dual lane 60 area. He stood on it chirping the wheels and taking off, then he'd slow down wait for me and do it again. Then would call me a ricer (my car ain't rice at all), or a homo.

So I kept on cruising along until we got into an 80 zone, and stood on mine a little, just enough to stop him pulling ahead, then I'd brake. No way I was going to speed for him.

So he swerved AT me, as he was shitty. Thats when I ate him all up.

Then we got to the corners, and to this day its the last I saw of him :D

To me, swerving is poor form.

rezz: yeah ive got a similar story, i was with a mate in his lancer ( modded ) in braody one time, some dude in a vx clubby pulls up beside us, wasnt a bogan but, was some lebo.... revved the shit ouf ot his engine, and screamed off from the lights, my mate took of slowly as you do, coz we noticed the cop car about 200ms or so up the road, he got pulled over, we drove past pointing and laughing lol :P.

dnb: thats true, i get the "fully sick yulleh" comments from time to time from people when they see my car ( not bogans either, jst normal morons ).... oh what bs pizza has put on people that drive import cars ( not that i dont like pizza, i reckon its a good as show lol ).

Yeah, same sort of crap over and over,

The amount of commondores and falcon's I get cruising past,

( Auto's too mind you, with 10" tachos and massive commodore and falcon stickers, so the idiots don't forget wich car is theres when the go back to the carpark.)

that sit and stare then proceed to rev the hell out of there motors in nutural can only make me laugh. Ever so sweet leaving them in a cloud of burnt rubber, then as you back off when reached the speed limit, they fly past all pissed off.

Not putting sh_t on our friendly aussie cars, but don't you find the majority of wankers drive them?

I havn't had any takers with my skyline, but mum drives a modded Volvo T5-R (230kw) it's bloody quick once your off the line (dam FWD).

So mum was driving home with me passenger, when these bogans in a V8 VK commo pull up next to us, and stare at the car. The lights turn green, and they take off, mum started moving then put her foot down, we stopped at the speed limit, and they screamed past us (after they cought up) but they were looking straight ahead. owned by a Volvo

haha, i love reading these story threads. ive found that these bogan type people that need to 'mouth off' about imports are intimidated by them. chances are theyve been blown away by a few skylines before, they cant do anything about it on the roads, so they have a go at you verbally + reel out the old "gunna supercharge it & smoke your car"

I believe this is termed "The loser fly-by." :rofl:

true. i had an old torana tailgating me on the freeway just the other day, so i waited until the uphill & gave it a bit of a boost, leaving him quite some distance behind (funny cos i could see he was trying to keep up), im sticking to the speed limit. so on the downhill the guy gets this huge run up and flys past me :confused:

Nah...I've had nothing but respect from most people when I've told them I have an R32 GTR now even hardcore V8 fans...most know it from the old Group A days and its consequent reputation as 'Godzilla'.

No ones really had anything bad to say at all :(

Apart from my boss who shat herself when i took her for a drive!

I did stop late at night at a BP servo with it, it was pissing down with rain and as I was filling up this Young 'drunk' dood came staggering over, he wanted a lift to Fremantle, to which he had no chance, but he kept hanging around and told me how nice the car was and funnily enough he knew it had an RB26 twin turbo, said he'd love to own a GTR one day...and actually half knew what he was talking about....I was almost tempted to take him to Freo.....but nah...Spew is hard to remove from Carpet :thumbsup:

    • Update 3: Hi all It's been a while. Quite a lot of things happened in the meantime, among other things the car is (almost) back together and ready to be started again. Things that I fixed or changed: Full turbo removal, fitting back the OEM turbo oil hardlines. Had to do quite a bit of research and parts shopping to get every last piece that I need and make it work with the GT2860 turbos, but it does work and is not hard to do. Proves that the previous owner(s) just did not want to. While I was there I set the preload for the wastegates to 0,9bar to hopefully make it easier for the tuner to hit the 370hp I need for the legal inspections that will follow later on. Boost can always go up if necessary. Fitted a AN10 line from the catch can to the intake hose to make the catchcan and hopefully the cam covers a slight vacuum to have less restrictive oil returns from the head and not have mud build up as harshly in the lines and catch can. Removed the entire front interior just shy of the dashboard itself to clean up some of the absolutely horrendous wiring, (hopefully) fix the bumpy tacho and put in LED bulbs while I was there. Also put in bulbs where there was none before, like the airbag one. I also used that chance to remove the LED rpm gauge on the steering column, which was also wired in absolute horror show fashion. Moved the 4in1 Prosport gauge from sitting in front of the OEM oil pressure gauge to the center console vents, I used a 3D printed vent piece to hold that gauge there. The HKB steering wheel boss was likely on incorrectly as I sometimes noticed the indicator reset being uneven for left vs. right. In the meantime also installed an airbag delete resistor, as one should. Installed Cube Speed premium short shifter. Feels pretty nice, hope it'll work great too when I actually get to drive. Also put on a fancy Dragon Ball shift knob, cause why not. My buddy was kind enough to weld the rust hole in the back, it was basically rusted through in the lowermost corner of the passenger side trunk area where the wheel arch, trunk panel and rear quarter all meet. Obviously there is still a lot of crustiness in various areas but as long as it's not rusted out I'll just treat and isolate the corrosion and pretend it's not there. Also had to put down a new ground wire for the rear subframe as the original one was BARELY there. Probably a bit controversial depending on who you ask about this... but I ended up just covering the crack in the side of the engine block, the one above the oil feed, with JB Weld. I used a generous amount and roughed up the whole area with a Dremel before, so I hope this will hold the coolant where it should be for the foreseeable future. Did a cam cover gasket job as the half moons were a bit leaky, and there too one could see the people who worked on this car before me were absolute tools. The same half moons were probably used like 3 times without even cleaning the old RTV off. Dremeled out the inside of the flange where the turbine housing mates onto the exhaust manifolds so the diameter matches, as the OEM exhaust manifolds are even narrower than the turbine housings as we all know. Even if this doesn't do much, I had them out anyways, so can't harm. Ideally one would port-match both the turbo and the manifold to the gasket size but I really didn't feel up to disassembling the turbine housings. Wrapped turbo outlet dumps in heat wrap band. Will do the frontpipe again as well as now the oil leak which promted me to tear apart half the engine in the first place is hopefully fixed. Fitted an ATI super damper to get rid of the worn old harmonic balancer. Surely one of the easiest and most worth to do mods. But torquing that ARP bolt to spec was a bitch without being able to lock the flywheel. Did some minor adjustments in the ECU tables to change some things I didn't like, like the launch control that was ALWAYS active. Treated rusty spots and surface corrosion on places I could get to and on many spots under the car, not pretty or ideal but good enough for now. Removed the N1 rear spats and the carbon surrounding for the tailpipe to put them back on with new adhesive as the old one was lifting in many spots, not pretty. Took out the passenger rear lamp housing... what do you know. Amateur work screwed me again here as they were glued in hard and removing it took a lot of force, so I broke one of the housing bolts off. And when removing the adhesive from the chassis the paint came right off too. Thankfully all the damaged area won't be visible later, but whoever did the very limited bodywork on this car needs to have their limbs chopped off piece by piece.   Quite a list if I do say so myself, but a lot of time was spent just discovering new shit that is wrong with the car and finding a solution or parts to fix it. My last problem that I now have the headache of dealing with is that the exhaust studs on the turbo outlets are M10x1.25 threaded, but the previous owner already put on regular M10 nuts so the threads are... weird. I only found this out the hard way. So now I will just try if I can in any way fit the front pipe regardless, if not I'll have to redo the studs with the turbos installed. Lesson learned for the future: Redo ALL studs you put your hands on, especially if they are old and the previous owners were inept maniacs. Thanks for reading if you did, will update when the engine runs again. Hope nothing breaks or leaks and I can do a test drive.
    • No those pads are DBA too  but they have colors too. I look at the and imo the green "street" are the best.
    • I’m not sure what happened I told them about sonic tunes free OTS tune and the next the I know .. I was booted..   To funny 
    • Yea - I mean I've seen my fuel pump which is decades old and uh, while I'm not saying this with real knowledge... but I sure get the ick at using anything in the fuel system that produced the state of that pump. Many years ago I went through multiple pumps (and strainers) before I dropped the tank to clean it out with extreme violence. I'm talking the car would do maybe 50km before coming to a halt, which resulted in me cleaning out the filter with some brake cleaner and going on my way. None of my stuff ever looked like what came out of your fuel tank. I don't think I'd be happy with it unless every single component was replaced (or at least checked/cleaned/confirmed to be clean here).
