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.

    • Yep I guessed as much. You'll find life much easier with a large block something like this -  https://wholesalepaint.com.au/products/dura-block-long-hook-loop-sanding-block-100-eva-rubber-af4437 This is a good demo video of something like this in use -    You have turned your small rock chip holes into large low spots. You'll need to fill and block these low spots.  It's always a little hard not seeing it in person, but yes I would go ahead and lay filler over the whole area. Have a good look at the video I linked, it's a very good example of all the things you're doing. They went to bare metal, they are using guide coat, they are doing a skim coat with the filler and blocking it back. If what you're doing doesn't look like what they are doing, that's a big hint for you  
    • The odometer does go up when driving.  Does this tell it is an issue with the speedometer itself?    Where can I look for replacement cluster? Or speedo? I can likely do the repair.. Will ER34 cluster work on HR34? Or do I need a HR34 20GT S2 specifically lol   
    • Mine's a bit bigger at 70x150mm roughly. The spots are flat, just can feel the edges if I dig my nail into it. I did fix some other other ones by both using my finger to sand that small spot (I'm a bit wary of doing this and creating hot spots and a bigger mess) and I also did sand over it flat and others, but this also worried me a bit because if I create an overall low spot on the panel on paint that is good.  Correct me if I'm wrong but as long as it's flat even if I can feel the edges, I can put filler because it will all be level once I sand it? I can see myself going in a circle after sanding guidecoat with 320 grit if for example the panel is flat with my hand but because I sanded the guidecoat I could have created a low spot again somewhere. Unless where I'm going wrong is what I mentioned previously where I didn't go low enough on the grits. It's 1 step forward and 2 step backwards here haha. I'll probably need to experiment with it more. Last time I go back to bare metal lol.
    • Thanks for the details mate , for me I think being a daily driven and happy with a basic tune (630Nm and 310kw) . Seems to be working well I just put on a set of Michelin Pilot Sport 4 should help put the power down. I'm going to start looking a brakes and LSD in the future so I might reach out to you on options to upgrade the brakes. Cheers - Dee   
    • I have a HR34 GT... RB20DE My speedo doesn't work! The rest of the gauges seem to work, fuel and RPM. I did not notice if my odometer was going up when driving last.  Any ideas? Speed sensor? Hopefully atleast... Gauge cluster perhaps? Or is that unlikely because the other gauges are working?   Any insight is appreciated. This is a rather new to me car. Lol
