I love it when they think they are faster. I had an experience like that. New BA Falcon with the guy inside wearing a FPV hat. I knew he was going to try and drag so I took off at a medium pace shifting at around 4000rpm and I finnished just in front. Next lights I didnt bother at all and he was stoked. Third set I launch as hard as I can and manage to get it perfect and shift hard up to about 110km/h. His face was priceless he was all smug then when I launched it his jaw hit the floor. I was just like :uh-huh: thats right buddy feel the shame.

i must agree, commodore drivers have some kind of ego when it comes to skylines.

a couple of weeks ago when i was being dropped home (i think Veilside dropped me home) a VK followed us all the way from Hindmarsh going past woden all the way into badimara street tailing us. we turned of into my street and they decided to hit the gas and showoff because we didnt go them. maybe its like bulls when they see red they go rogue maybe commodore drivers when they see skylines they just forget everything and decide there the man?

almost every bald middle aged man in his "oh crap im having a mid life crisis, i need a sports car but the wife will shoot me if i buy something impartical GET OVER IT!!!!

What if he happens to be driving a "practical" SII Stagea and tends to upset people at the lights - because station wagons are not supposed to be quick!

Maybe I need to grow some hair.

Settle on the middle age shite lads. You'll be there soon enough.

I love my beast, I can't help getting older................and faster.

I don't wanna grow up OK! Is it Peter Pan syndrome ?

(must admit tho it freaks me to see other middle age wankers - even tho I might be considerd 1 in the GTR). We'll sort that out on the track.

My other car was a weekend track queen.... 260Z 2+2, FIA 72 rally cam, close ratio box, 4.375:1 lsd, 200lb/inch adjustable suspension, half cage, no muffler.... it was my daily driver. Mind you, it took a few years to reach that stage. It sits in the driveway now, minus the good box, diff and the cage - still an absolute blast to drive, more fun that the 240 for cornering, but slow as a wet week (88kw at wheels vs ~ 140). And I NEVER got pulled over.

Yep, I have the FTO with the black bonnet, it wasn't CF, but someone poured some battery acid on it or something so I thought I'd paint the bonnet black to see what it looks like.

The whole car is painted BA mercury silver now with full body kit waiting for someone that wants a rice car to take it off my hands.

Back to Canberra. Damn I know Canberra roads are good, but they really need to know when to back off. I mean what's the point in going on the wrong side of the road after you have lost. only going to get themselves or someone else killed.

Anyway, carscene getting better in Canberra, was at woden food court the other day and there were 2 180sx and a s14a parked outside. if it wasn't so cold I'd consider moving back.

    • Did you pay with a credit card? I'd be putting a charge back through then finding a new sparky to sort it out. 
    • If you mean the alarm immobiliser; theyre internal to the alarm itself which makes that difficult; I couldnt even see where he put it; its not in the same place as last time; but with all black wiring it might be very challenging to trace  I had someone turn the key for me as I know it only primes for a couple of seconds As my post above; I am getting no voltage to the pump at all; but I am testing continuity of the power line (SB) from the pump plug to the relay fine. As well as the negative from the pump plug to a 12V constant.    Yeah; he blammed the no start on a bad battery; said I needed to get a new battery and it'll start. Turns out the battery drained because the tail lights had been on for half the day during the install (the rubber cushion on the brake switch gave out while he was testing it as I have a picture of the car from that morning with the tail lights off..i've replaced that). The battery was turning over the engine just fine for a long time; but got low since lights were draining it so it was too low to test a start after he finished. I bought a new one on his advice...$250 wasted. My original battery charged up just fine and is healthy.    It was running perfectly fine when I messed up the old alarm (programmed out the remotes). He couldnt start it after removing the old alarm; my assumption is that when he unhooked it; he didnt bridge the circuit back when trying to start it. Its always been perfectly fine. The ECU swap and pump were 2 years ago. It's never missed a beat in that time. 
    • This is a big issue for me without the diff. I just have zero drive from the passenger side when drivers side has no traction. Bec's parents place has a crazy steep driveway with odd camber and I have never been able to get up. My bro-in-law's 130i with an (unknown brand) LSD gets up fine as does their dad's Hiace. My car stays at the bottom. We have other odd camber roads around here as we're elevated a bit and if it's raining I can get totally stuck around some hairpins. 
    • Yeah, I am super excited for this.
    • Was the car running before he touched the car?
