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:

    • After using a protractor for an actually accurate assessment of what is required,  and by NOT using my uncalibrated eyeball I worked out I need a 25° silicone bend from the TB ro the MAF, but, my choice was either a 30° or a 23° (23° is a weird spec), so I grabbed the 23° one from Raceworks I also grabbed 1mtr of 3" straight from Just Jap, I needed 350mm, but they only had 300mm, or 1mtr lengths....meh Also ordered a 1/2" hose bulkhead fitting from fleabay, this has a smoothish mushroom looking head (they are designed for below the water line of boats) that will fit inside the bend, the hose bit and threaded bit looks to long, but nothing that a hacksaw cannot fix if required, the hose will then just get jamed on the threaded bit up to the retaining nut Fingers crossed and the unsightly amount of hose clamps will be reduced down to 4 once all the parts arrive 
    • Oil change does not trigger code 21. Code 21 is for coilpacks primary side connection. You can try to clear the code with a battery disconnect, hold down the brake pedal to drain capacitors through the brake lights with the ignition on for 10-15 seconds before you reconnect the battery. I have seen R35 coil conversion permanently cause this code with no ill effects so it might be the resistance it wants to see isn't quite right on one or more coilpacks. Could be inside the ECU, could be the harness, could be a coil. You can test it all if you want or just ignore until the car actually starts misfiring.
    • I forgot you have a Nistune ECU. Use Nistune to do all the tests I mentioned instead of faffing with 30+ year old electrical connectors. You can read MAF volts off that too, there are reference values in the service manual to tell you roughly what it should be in different conditions.
    • No. I think it might be the AFM. Hence the use of the terms "swaptronics", which implies the use of swapping out electronics for the purpose of diagnosis. It's about the only way to prove that a small/niggling/whatever problem with an AFM or a CAS or similar is actually caused by that AFM/CAS/whatever. A known good item swapped in that still gives the same problem is likely to be caused somewhere else. They're all the same. Spraying AFMs with cleaner is an each way bet between cleaning it and f**king it.
    • Oh wow! This might actually work amazingly. Do you know the ratio of the diff? I was told the only thing you need to make sure of is if the front & rear diff ratios are the same. Ours is a 4.083 Thanks!
