Just had someone buy some Skyline parts from me from my home address. To make the story short, He decided to drop a very decent burnout in my residential street (50KM zone). He hit high speed & came very close to my Girlfriend while she was on the way here. About 15-20 minutes later I had a very irate Neighbour (maybe a cop) come over & demanded "who's car is that" while writing down my rego.

I asked him what his problem was & he said 8 other people saw "my" car (both are white) doing this burnout & driving like a madman. He would not listen to anything I said, so then I kept his door open for a while, to talk, but he didn't like the idea of listening. Just wanted to blame someone, don't really blame him, but he does owe me an Apology & if I see him I give him a nice big smile & ask him how the investigation is going.

:(

I just told him to get himself down to the local police station with my rego number.

I rang the police 30 minutes later, as I had other custermers here & told them about the situation. I actually spoke to the same Officer who received the complaint originally, & guess what - He was very co-operative & told me that they had the right rego number & I had nothing to worry about.

(Now I have to be weary of my Screamer pipe) :P

So If the person who bought those parts off me reads this post, don't disrespect someone who is selling you parts, & you got those parts cheap remember. watch yourself or you could be looking at #@%$*^??? & remember the police don't forget once they have enough complaints.

Maybe he decided to do the burnout because he saw my dynosheet & wanted to prove something? I was 18 once too, but what he did was dangerous & this shit keeps giving Skyline drivers problems.

Not Happy, Enough Said.

everyone loves hellies, when someone comes over my house for the first time, if he dont rip a hellie/ burnout/smoke shop, he'll never be invited to my place every again.

rules to live by

I don't think it's a good idea to name names. Will turn this thread into a flame war.

I think the young fella who caused grief to R33RWKW should send an apology to him. No need to cause him grief, let alone anyone. R33RWKW was also gracious enough not to publicly name him because there would be instant flamage on this post.

Yes, I don't want to name him & get him flamed, seriously thought about it though, but some (not meaning all) P-Platers with HKS gear can't help themselves. He might learn one day himself, but hopefully without injuries or death, maybe just a broken ride.

But if the Police came around to my house & did a thorough inspection of my car, - He would have been named. I was pretty lucky, casue I just found out a police officer lives directly opposite me (not local though), & I don't think he was home at the time.

However, I will make future buyers aware of the problems caused last time by that C**T, so it hopefully won't happen again.

Cheers.

was it a good burnout? My mates have done it numerous times, i guess its all fun and games as long as its not taken too far.. My 2 cents..

Yeah, because if it was good it makes it perfectly okay to do it, and legal too. Especially in a residential street with other road users.

Yeah, It was VERY decent (8 different neighbours complained) - But there are better places to do it (not around kids - 50km zones etc..) & there wasn't enough road space really, so he would have burned his brakes a fair bit.

i know how u feel mate!!!! i get burnouts out the front of my street from all the hoons, that drive past, trying to leave an impression when they see my car out the front, and all i get is continuous complaints and visits from the police telling me that my car has been reported and any future complaints will be taken seriously, bla bla bla....

im sick of it, cause i myself have let the occassional smoke poor out the back of my line, and when the neighbors happen come out seeing me do it, just makes them think "here we go again, he says it not him"!!!!

heheh if i was your neighbour and i saw you doing a burnout id also think "here we go again, he says its not him!!" :mellow:

    • Hello, sorry for being late to join the discussion, but my clock just died on me.   Ive tried to look at Michaels digital clock repair.docx and it doesnt work maybe the file has expired.   Please let me know if you can re upload it or take some youtube videos to show us how to get the clock installed? thanks
    • I thought that might be the case, thats what I'll start saving for. Thanks for the info 
    • Ps i found the below forum and it seems to be the same scenario Im dealing with. Going to check my ECU coolant temp wire tomorrow    From NICOclub forum: s1 RB25det flooding at start up Thu Apr 11, 2013 7:23 am I am completely lost on this. Car ran perfectly fine when I parked it at the end of the year. I took the engine out and painted the engine bay, and put a fuel cell with an inline walbro 255 instead of the in tank unit I had last year. After reinstalling everything, the engine floods when the fuel pump primes. if i pull the fuel pump fuse it'll start, and as soon as I put the fuse back in it starts running ridiculously rich. I checked the tps voltage, and its fine. Cleaned the maf as it had some dust from sitting on a shelf all winter, fuel pressure is correct while running, but wont fire until there is less than 5psi in the lines. The fuel lines are run correctly. I have found a few threads with the same problem but no actual explanation of what fixed it, the threads just ended. Any help would be appreciated.

I found the problem though. There was a break in one of the ecu coolant temp sensor wires. Once it was repaired it fired right up with no problems. I would have never thought a non working coolant temp sensor would have caused such an issue.
    • Hi sorry late reply I didnt get a chance to take any pics (my mechanics on the other side of the city) but the plugs were fouled from being too rich. I noticed the MAF wasn't genuine, so I replaced it with a genuine green label unit. I also swapped in a different ignitor, but the issue remains. I've narrowed it down a bit now: - If I unplug and reconnect the fuel lines and install fresh spark plugs, the car starts right up and runs perfectly. Took it around the block with no issues - As soon as I shut it off and try to restart, it won't start again - Fuel pressure while cranking is steady around 40 psi, injectors have good spray, return line is clear, and the FPR vacuum is working. It just seems like it's getting flooded after the first start I unplugged coolant sensors to see if its related to ECU flooding but that didnt make a difference. Im thinking its related to this because this issue only started happening after fixing coolant leaks and replacing the bottom part of the stock manifolds coolant pipe. My mechanic took off the inlet to get to get to do these repairs. My mechanics actually just an old mate who's retired now so ill be taking it to a different mechanic who i know has exp with RBs to see if they find anything. If you have any ideas please send em lll give it a try. Ive tried other things like swapping the injectors, fuel rail, different fuel pressure regs, different ignitor, spark plugs, comp test and MAF but the same issue persists.
    • My return flow is custom and puts the return behind the reo, instead of at the bottom. All my core is in the air flow, rather than losing some of it up behind the reo. I realise that the core really acts more as a spiky heatsink than as a constant rate heat exchanger, and that therefore size is important.... but mine fits everything I needed and wanted without having to cut anything, and that's worth something too. And there won't be a hot patch of core up behind the reo after every hit, releasing heat back into the intake air.
