Tell us the story. We've all heard heaps about Skylines owning heaps of other hi-perf cars but has anyone been owned at the lights by something totally unexpected or anything else you thought you could take? Don't want to start a depressing thread or anything just curious! :burnout:

Just about everything "use to" smoke me @ the lights! Until I got my RE540S. I use to just accept the fact that I was going to have to play catch up once I got traction (on 255 Falken ZE502 Ziex).

The odd LS1 VX/VT SS sticks out above all else, always caught them by 2nd or 3rd though. Since the new rubber I've not seen tail lights :rolleyes: Yet!

I've got one embarasing story.

A VN commie pulls up next to me and give it the rev rev. I though "not again......"

Lights go green we both tramp it and I just spin... and spin... and spin, all through first and second. Wasn't until third that I got traction but by that time we were doing 80 and the drag had finished........... We kept neck to neck all the way to 80 !!!

The next week I got rid of my $93 rear tyres and put on a set of 901's at $240 each....

Much better now !!!

But I can just see what the bloke is telling all his friends "I kept up with a modded R33, their not so good after all" :rolleyes::D:D

hehehehehehe

fatz u r a cunny funt

I was almost smoked by a VN, and an EB falcon!!!!

I was day dreaming until last minute when I realised these pricks were revving to drag me.... then the lights went green and I bogged down :rolleyes:

By the time I caught up, I was embarassed! So I had to give them another run at the next lights just to prove a point!!!!

I once got smoked in my R31 by an odd looking datsun 200B. Turns out this guy had the front end extended with a 351 in it!!!!! Now that's very unlikely!!!

Depends, can be hard sometimes balancing taking off slow enough as to not simply sit their smoking, and not stalling the ****ing thing with an in/out clutch!

But if u get a good launch...its all over for the other guy.

We got munched.. and I mean munched.. We didn't even take off we were soo amazed.. We pulled up beside a very well recognised EVO3 around these parts... (Not purple one) and were going to give it a run when we saw all the gauges on his dash going nuts.. then the lights turned green and where we were looking there was no car.. He was like 100m's ahead.. It was ****en fast!!

I love drags from the set of lights... nothing beats it. I probably lost a few but I only remember beating people... not loosing.

Yeah my mate in his MKIV supra chops me all the time :D and the odd S14/S15.

Oh and this one time i lined up a pac peformance RX3(roll cage and all), i knew i was in trouble when he told his mate on the phone "bro i'll call ya back i'm busy" throws the phone down and pulls out the hand controller changes a few settings, the light goes green the skyline got CHOPPED !!!!.

Yeah this one time, i pulled up at a set of lights and this really loud combi pulled up next to me (Not healthy sounding at all.

lights turned green and i watched in amasement as the front wheels came a good foot of the ground and this thing took. I was left stopped at the lights with my jaw dropped O.M.G

:Owned:

Never yet.

Only by pensioners in white Camrys with venetian blinds and housewives in BMW 316 compacts and Telstra technicians in fully loaded Hiaces... but then who gives a phuqq about things like that.

If I'm over 3,000rpm, it's all over red rover...

T.

Yes I have never raced red900ss from the lights. I think his foot never slipped off the clutch and 3 secs later I realised that he needed help and I (thought i) had to catch up to him, but didn't.....

B-man was owned that night - never again tho......

I was sitting at a set of lights at Arana Hills (Brisbane) and a ford metor with a bloke about 50 years old reved it and i smiled and just took of as normal as i though he was joking.... Once we were both half way accross the intersection the metor lit up the front wheels with the sound of a jet engine and then a large back fire and a snap to second and then another jet engine noise and i was in that much shock i didnt even relise i still had my hand brake on.....

Anyway i meet this bloke about 5 weeks later when i was doing some work at a local shop and its got a cordia motor and running gear and a fully polished turbo on the front... I said what kind is that and he said i found it (?????) the cordia motor has been re-built and the turbo is un known... (All this in a metor)

This bloke works for a wreaker and he picked it up out of a 90's model corolla..... (Wierd)

But thats the most suprising CHOMPING i have had.....

This little metor had more rust than paint so i guess that means it was lightened... LOL

The only time i have ever raced like full on seriously was a motor bike that was about 5 years old. I had a full car load and it was about the 3rd week i had my car and 4 sets of lights in a row we took each other on (level up until about mid-2nd where i kept going hard and he literally stood still). He was trying so hard in the end that he musta let the clutch out too quickly and the hole front end bunny hopped and he launched off the seat and nearly over the handle bars. The next set of lights he congradulated me on a smooth car and turned off a side street.

    • Yeah well per the video it took 15s for the stock unit to start up....even if I give it a few seconds discount for starting that is at least 12 sec before you get a reverse camera if you are trying to leave a park.  The android unit is way faster, but 2016 for the stock unit is a long time ago in consumer electronics
    • Yea that’s why I said ima test them with multimeter and see the reads.
    • Only at idle. Isn’t a problem when rev it seems.
    • @Haggerty This seems silly to ask, but are you confident in your ability to tune the Haltech?  
    • Next on the to-do list was an oil and filter change. Nothing exciting to add here except the oil filter is in a really stupid place (facing the engine mount/subframe/steering rack). GReddy do a relocation kit which puts it towards the gearbox, I would have preferred towards the front but there's obviously a lot more stuff there. Something I'll have to look at for the next service perhaps. First time using Valvoline oil, although I can't see it being any different to most other brands Nice... The oil filter location... At least the subframe wont rust any time soon I picked up a genuine fuel filter, this is part of the fuel pump assembly inside the fuel tank. Access can be found underneath the rear seat, you'll see this triangular cover Remove the 3x plastic 10mm nuts and lift the cover up, pushing the rubber grommet through The yellow fuel line clips push out in opposite directions, remove these completely. The two moulded fuel lines can now pull upwards to disconnect, along with the wire electrical plug. There's 8x 8mm bolts that secure the black retaining ring. The fuel pump assembly is now ready to lift out. Be mindful of the fuel hose on the side, the hose clamp on mine was catching the hose preventing it from lifting up The fuel pump/filter has an upper and lower section held on by 4 pressure clips. These did take a little bit of force, it sounded like the plastic tabs were going to break but they didn't (don't worry!) The lower section helps mount the fuel pump, there's a circular rubber gasket/grommet/seal thing on the bottom where the sock is. Undo the hose clip on the short fuel hose on the side to disconnect it from the 3 way distribution pipe to be able to lift the upper half away. Don't forget to unplug the fuel pump too! There's a few rubber O rings that will need transferring to the new filter housing, I show these in the video at the bottom of this write up. Reassembly is the reverse Here's a photo of the new filter installed, you'll be able to see where the tabs are more clearing against the yellow OEM plastic Once the assembly is re-installed, I turned the engine over a few times to help build up fuel pressure. I did panic when the car stopped turning over but I could hear the fuel pump making a noise. It eventually started and has been fine since. Found my 'lucky' coin underneath the rear seat too The Youtube video can be seen here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uLJ65pmQt44&t=6s
