Next time you have the police following you, just pull in to the next servo or McDonalds/whatever.  Either it will force them to do something or they will piss off.  It can be a bit of a hassle but I'd rather waste 2 minutes than have to drive with 1 and 1/2 eyes on the speedo.

A friend did this and the police followed them into the maccs and stoped them and ask him to pop the bonnet and they defected him for the POD.

That's the point though: if they are going to follow you in to Maccas, they are going to follow you as long as they can to get you for some dicky speeding or traffic infringement and even if you do nothing wrong, I'll bet they will still pull you over to give the car the once over.

i get plenty of "incidents" while driving my HR31 GTS-x.

Had a dead stock hyundai excel try to race me. I just laughed and keapt driving casually. When he/she began to slow down, i shifted down and gave them a nice ear-full (fealt like being a bastard that day).

I'd type up some more, but im too tired to remember :) and the alcohol is beggining to flow in my veins

Also get those "fully sicks" in their swifts or what ever with a cannon muffler and chromes who try and cruise with you and eventually race you, thinking their car is done up or something, which i always find funny.

I had a 4wd incident on the day I got my car. I purchased my car from Autostyle and was driving home. I live in St Ives so I go up King Georges Rd, past Homebush under the Pacific highway, it becomes Mona Vale Rd and I follow it all the way to St Ives. I was going under the Pacific Highway in the left of two lanes. Now just past the under bridge heading towards St Ives a 3rd lane starts on the left which is the down ramp from the highway. A driver of a 4wd coming down the down ramp from the highway didn’t even look and without indicating started to change lanes. His wheels would have come within about 5cm of my door before I saw what was going on. I looked right of me and saw no one was there and swerved into the far right lane. If someone was there I would have been rooted. I jumped on my horn and the driver with his whole family in the car let go of the wheel and almost lost control swerving back into his lane and nearly running up the gutter.

Happens to me twice a week. I just change to the right hand lane now, without thinking about it.

  • 3 months later...

every one seems to wanna climb up my arse and then swerves round me cause i aint doing the speed they want to do ...

and the cops seem to wanna follow me like a lost dog ... i swear its bad enough with my parents telling me wot to do but to keep an eye on the cops as well is annoying and 1 and 1/2 eyes on the speedo

Traffic Lights are bad for me.

Every "hotted up" car tries to race me. Fromt stock Dihatsu Charades to R8 HSV Clubsports.

Had a few Rexy's rev at the lights aswell.

I'm so over it, I rev back, and take off normally, don't even bother. They get their 3 second thrill and then realise that Im building up to the speed limit.

Thats so true, my last race was against an s2000 , he learnt that our cars are faster the hard way B)

nearly got t boned tonight coming home from bondi, stupid girl without even looking ran a red light (i was going through the green) i saw it coming so started to brake and avoid so i was not going to hit her and in the meantime she realised a bit too late and ended up one lane into the path of oncoming cars after locking up.

the look on her face(OH F..**!!!!!!!!!) when she realised what was happening and was looking right at me through my windscreen sort of made it better :P

was she cute??? :P

yeh tell me about these hoons......

i have had my R32 for about 1 week and for the 3 days it was running i had about 3 people try to race me at the lights.........like wats the point of racing on the streets in 60 zones :P

A friend did this and the police followed them into the maccs and stoped them and ask him to pop the bonnet and they defected him for the POD.

can u just do the drive through in maccs and buy a coffee or something, so they cant get u to pop ur bonnet mid way in the drive through can they?

I couldnt agree more with fraser, bout the road rage thats happening, I grive my R32 GTR once every fortnight and then, i like to enjoy my drive and not worry bout others cutting me off etc. I had a great run with the new SSZ ute, on the city west link heading away from norton street liechardht, i pulled up to the lights and noticed the ssz pulled up, older guy 35 or so, started revving the engine, but i didnt think anything of it,

The lights went green, hes goonnnnne, so i took off after him, hes revving the shit out of it, redline to cut out, i snapped 2nd, blew him stupid, at which time im 2 bus lenghts away, then we r approaching the anzac bridge tunneland he punches it again, once again i got surprised , take off, 2nd, 3rd, at which time, im sitting on 190km at the crest of the bridge then hit 4th, and hopeing that cops arent sitting on the other side, ssz boy decides to pull up next to me once we hit the fish markets and said " i had you at the lights " to which i replied, " you've got no chance, you granny shift ? to which he got ripped and drove into the city, and i turned left onto the harbour bridge, So i dedicate the rego of SSZETA to all ss ute drivers ( I used to wn one also, so i know how the go ).

Is this the kind of post to be boasting about??? The reputation of all import performance car owners is jeopardised by this kind of pimple headed, backward baseball cap wearing tripe. If you want to race at these speeds, I highly recommend WSID or a track day, not through suburban streets. These forums are regularly browsed by Mr Plog and this kind of stuff just adds more justification for them to make life more difficult to all of us. Next time you have the urge to drive like a boy racer, can you let us all know so we can park our machines and stay right out of your way.

    • Also, I logged some data from the ECU for each session (mostly oil pressures and various temps, but also speed, revs etc, can't believe I forgot accelerator position). The Ecutek data loads nicely to datazap, I got good data from sessions 2, 3 and 4: https://datazap.me/u/duncanhandleyhgeconsultingcomau/250813-wakefield-session-2?log=0&data=7 https://datazap.me/u/duncanhandleyhgeconsultingcomau/250813-wakefield-session-3?log=0&data=6 https://datazap.me/u/duncanhandleyhgeconsultingcomau/250813-wakefield-session-4?log=0&data=6 Each session is cut into 3 files but loaded together, you can change between them in the top left. As the test sessions are mostly about the car, not me, I basically start by checking the oil pressure (good, or at least consistent all day). These have an electrically controlled oil pump which targets 25psi(!) at low load and 50 at high. I'm running a much thicker oil than recommended by nissan (they said 0w20, I'm running 10w40) so its a little higher. The main thing is that it doesn't drop too far, eg in the long left hand fish hook, or under brakes so I know I'm not getting oil surge. Good start. Then Oil and Coolant temp, plus intercooler and intake temps, like this: Keeping in mind ambient was about 5o at session 2, I'd say the oil temp is good. The coolant temp as OK but a big worry for hot days (it was getting to 110 back in Feb when it was 35o) so I need to keep addressing that. The water to air intercooler is working totally backwards where we get 5o air in the intake, squish/warm it in the turbos (unknown temp) then run it through the intercoolers which are say 65o max in this case, then the result is 20o air into the engine......the day was too atypical to draw a conclusion on that I think, in the united states of freedom they do a lot of upsizing the intercooler and heat exchanger cores to get those temps down but they were OK this time. The other interesting (but not concerning) part for me was the turbo speed vs boost graph: I circled an example from the main straight. With the tune boost peaks at around 18psi but it deliberately drops to about 14psi at redline because the turbos are tiny - they choke at high revs and just create more heat than power if you run them hard all the way. But you can also see the turbo speed at the same time; it raises from about 180,000rpm to 210,000rpm which the boost falls....imagine the turbine speed if they held 18psi to redline. The wastegates are electrically controlled so there is a heap of logic about boost target, actual boost, delta etc etc but it all seems to work well
    • hahah when youtube subscribers are faster than my updates here. Yes some vid from the day is up, here:  Note that as with all track day videos it is boring watching after the bloopers at the start.  The off was a genuine surprise to me, I've literally done a thousand laps around the place and I've never had instability there; basically it rolled into oversteer, slipped, gripped and spat me out. On the way off I mowed down one of the instructor's cones and it sat there all day looking at me with accusing cone eyes as I drove past. 1:13:20 was my fastest lap, and it was in the second session, 3rd lap.  It (or me!) got slower throughout the day as it got hotter.      
    • It sounds like you want what the Toyota Landcruisers have for their roof racks. Wanna know what you end up with? Rust holes in the roof, and water everywhere...
    • Discovered today that if I select reverse first and take my foot off the brake, then select drive, the drive indicator light works and so does the tiptronic gear indicator. 
    • Ok so after much research and talking with knowledgeable people I've got my turbo conversion done and it's all running great other than 1 small issue.  Car has remained auto with the na auto and tcm, I've used a stagea ecu with. NIstune board and everything is great other than my gear selection on the dash. It illuminates park, reverse, neutral, 3rd and 2nd. But nothing drive or what gear your in when you pop it into tiptronic.  I'm sure there is maybe 1 wire in the ecu plug I need to move to rectify this. Does anyone here have any ideas?   Cheers guys
