TommO Posted July 27, 2005 Share Posted July 27, 2005 Hello all I took the new R32 GTR out to willowbank tonight to give it its first stretch. ran a 12.3 on my first pass running 0.9 bar. pretty happy, but had some probs so decided to leave. Now, as a skyline owner, i was VERY dissapointed at the level of comradery displayed by my fellow line owners... We counted at least 4 r33gtsts that came from the drags and passed us on the side of the road (Cunningham highway) with the hazards on in the dark. If I saw a skyline (or an evo or gtir(myold cars)) on the side of the road in the night (especially just after exiting willowbank) i would stop and offer assistance. You know like teh brotherhood or whatever crap, fellow skyline owners. All i got was people ripping skids and yelling out the windows. lol Huge Thanks to SAU-'EasyTiger' Dave and his mate for stopping with us untill we could track down a tow truck. Great work.

Nexus9 Posted July 27, 2005 Share Posted July 27, 2005 does sound a bit shitty thats for sure, but I think you will find that those people probably aren't a part of SAU anyway. especially if they are chucking skids and yelling out the window p.s great time by the way Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/82059-willowbank-tonight/#findComment-1488205 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keegs Posted July 27, 2005 Share Posted July 27, 2005 yea i'd say the people who drove past weren't a part of SAU. I know that when I threw a rod at the track a while ago there was a few SAU members that helped me out. Especially Rodney (GOR33) who gave me a lift back from the track to the coast. On a side note, what was the problem? Matt Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/82059-willowbank-tonight/#findComment-1488290 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ska Posted July 27, 2005 Share Posted July 27, 2005 Yeah great time and if I saw you I would've stopped, I usually stop and make sure people are ok when they are pulled up along the highway, even if they weren't skylines. We are a pretty freindly bunch here on SAu! Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/82059-willowbank-tonight/#findComment-1488302 Share on other sites More sharing options...
wrxkilla Posted July 27, 2005 Share Posted July 27, 2005 thanks no worries guys. was just a little upset last night. Turns out the pipe from the compressor housing was blown off. lol damn just a bit too hard to see out there at night. Hidden under the intake and mafs. Might get back out on saturday and have a nother bash as i didnt really get many runs in 12.3 was first run first time out.

EZYTGR Posted July 28, 2005 Share Posted July 28, 2005 Hey Guys, It was magic to watch the freshly imported R32GTR only running on half boost do a 12.3 pass, however the hour wait for a flatbed tow truck... damn!!! Tommo got it right... The amount of Skylines passing us who didn't even offer a mobile phone... WTF???... I really hope it was no-one frem SAU.. Especially the two fools in R33's who were drag racing past us, didn't slow down and only just skimmed passed us making Tommo jump off the road for his life... You have serious thrill issues dudes... But in saying that - Sick work for having a run!!! ha ha ha... I'd be taking the oppertunity for teaching the V8 boys a lesson!!!...

hungry6 Posted July 29, 2005 Share Posted July 29, 2005 There are plenty of d*ckhead, who also drive skyline out there, BTW did you have your bonnet up? Normally I wouldn't stop in the middle of no where for someone on the side of the road unless they got their bonnet up. But yeah yealling and carrying on are traits of the tools that populate our society.

predator Posted July 29, 2005 Share Posted July 29, 2005 i hate ****ing dickheads that yell shit and worse when you are at the side of the road, obviously trying to fix things. ****ing wankers! I've got half a mind to walk out with a brick whenever i do have to pull over.. whoever lets fly with an insult, cops a brick in the car. Lets see how tough they feel then.

hungry6 Posted July 29, 2005 Share Posted July 29, 2005 Worst still is that when you have your head buried in the engine bay and you mate cruises up quitely and toot the horn, It's not really funny when you got 3rd degree burns on your hands from it. So what pred. said is understandable. Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/82059-willowbank-tonight/#findComment-1492292 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sumo Posted July 29, 2005 Share Posted July 29, 2005 My boss thinks its funny to see what damage the apprentice can do to himself by waiting until he right into a job in the engine bay and giving the horn a toot. Its one joke he never grows tired of..... :bonk: Goodwork with the time.... It doesn't suprise me no one would stop, maybe if they wanted to mug you they might have pulled over.
