I was on my way home from work tonight when i noticed that i was being followed... Literally, i was minding my own business. I then proceeded to try and lose them in my neighbourhood, which went on for about ten minutes, after which i was successful in losing my rather annoying w*nkers.

It was a Maroon TE Magna (never got the plates as they never got close enough), and it was Canterbury Rd pretty much from Camberwell to Box Hill.

My car is 3 weeks old, stock, so it doesn't really grab attention (apart from being a Skyline i guess). This concerns me a bit, as it just makes you feel like you can't enjoy your ride.

Without having a lynch mob attitude, maybe we should keep an eye out for w*nkers like this?

-m :(

I had this happen to me in williamstown one day at lunchtime, I got followed by a liberty station wagon for agout 10 minutes, I was going down backstreets, going round and round the block, eventually I pulled over and walked into a store where I could watch my car, the slowed down, and drove off... I quickly jumped in my car and drove the opposite way.

Not really sure what to make of it.

I had it happen to me once too, about a year ago. I didn't realise I was being followed until I turned into the road (which is dead at night), that leads to my street. So I drove around in circles to see if they would still follow... and they did. So eventually I parked in someone else's driveway, then came running out of the car with the club lock....

Unfortunately they drove away..... :(

I've also had this happen when I used to have a stock R31 silhouette...

Trust no one!

These are cops - come on guys... unmarked Liberties and magnas are their favourite vehicles. I don't enjoy driving nearly as much with this "out to get people" mentality going around. I doubt it was somebody just following you to jack your car or anything.

I've been followed home by cops in my old crappy R31 and i got home and they said "Why did you pull into here?" and it was like "because i live here you idiots" (ok, not quite like that) but they did the full check of everything.

Both times I was followed, was by crappy old shit boxes. An old 323 (80's model), and then an old 626(80's model again).

When I got followed in the R31 though, I'm pretty sure though is was b/c I was fooling around with someones g/friend...

But, dont be suprised... it's not always cops! I had 2 friends been followed, then had their cars taken! One of them, stopped off at home to ldrop off his keaboard, as he didnt want it in the car. When we got out... his car was gone!

I'm not saying it happens often, and that we should all become very paranoid and spend half our time looking for cars that may be following, but be aware that it happens.

About 5 years ago, I saw 2 cops pull over another car....

They were driving a red XF falcon with L plates on the bloody thing! It's almost like entrapment!

This is Victoria - not NSW - things are ****ed up there.. Its not that bad here.

Depends - never happened to me in that way but then again i don't seem to attract trouble from people.. i also like to carry a cricket bat in the car but for some strange reason i don't play cricket :thumbsup:

It's happened to my mum a few times in her Jag, she usually finds the closest round-a-bout and just goes around in circles until they followers realise they've been busted hehehe

lol:lol:

i feel very confident in my car...if someone is following me, i pull over and wait till they drive past or stop. then i follow them. if it looks like trouble, i generally have enough "up n go" to loose them

L plates! its funny how the cops can do whatever they want. We get fined(well some of us) for not displaying our p plates thus pretending to be full license holders

and these idiots are doing exactly the same thing

I got followed one day.

I went past a done up SSS pulsar (going the opposite way), he pulled over, waited until I was about 100m away and chucked a u turn. I thought it was a bit wierd so I went passed my place up to a round about, I did a uturn at the round about and went past them.

They did the same but stayed about 100m away. The next round about I did the same, did a uturn and again, so did they, this happend once more until I stopped the car - all puffed up ready to jump on their bonnet, when they saw the door open they slammed the brakes on, chucked a uturn and pissed off.

I could've been paranoid, but it was strange. At that time heaps of Skylines where being knocked off and carjacked around sydney....

      R32 GT-R: 4WD Light Turns On After Bumps – Code 19 (ETS Motor) But No Issues Found

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      Look for broken wire or bad connector at the motor. Might not be it, but is worth starting there, as it is easy.

      R32 GT-R: 4WD Light Turns On After Bumps – Code 19 (ETS Motor) But No Issues Found

      By Bireley_32 · Posted

      Hi everyone, I’m having an issue with my R32 GT-R. Sometimes, when the car goes over a bump or experiences some vibration, the 4WD warning light comes on the dashboard. When I check the code from the control unit in the trunk, it shows Code 19 – ETS Motor. However, everything seems to be working fine — if I turn off the engine and restart the car, the light goes away and everything functions normally. Has anyone experienced this before? Where should I start troubleshooting this issue? Thanks in advance!

      Mistakes were made, my R34 Story

      I'm back from the dyno - again! I went looking for someone who knew LS's and had a roller dyno, to see how it shaped up compared to everything else and confirm the powerband really is peaking where Mr Mamo says it should. TLDR: The dyno result I got this time definitely had the shape of how it feels on the road and finally 'makes sense'. Also we had a bit more time to play with timing on the dyno, it turns out the common practice in LS is to lower the timing around peak torque and restore it to max after. So given a car was on the dyno and mostly dialled in already, it was time for tweaking. Luis at APS is definitely knowledgable when it came to this and had overlays ready to go and was happy to share. If you map out your cylinder airmass you start seeing graphs that look a LOT like the engine's torque curve. The good thing also is if you map out your timing curve when you're avoiding knock... this curve very much looks like the inverse of the airmass curve. The result? Well it's another 10.7kw/14hp kw from where I drove it in at. Pretty much everywhere, too. As to how much this car actually makes in Hub Dyno numbers, American Dyno numbers, or Mainline dyno numbers, I say I don't know and it's gone up ~25kw since I started tinkering lol. It IS interesting how the shorter ratio gears I have aren't scaled right on this dyno - 6840RPM is 199KMH, not 175KMH. I have also seen other printouts here with cars with less mods at much higher "kmh" for their RPM due Commodores having 3.45's or longer (!) rear diff ratios maxing out 4th gear which is the 1:1 gear on the T56. Does this matter? No, not really. The real answer is go to the strip and see what it traps, but: I guess I should have gone last Sunday...
