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.

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"!!!!

      R33 GTR running -9 with no tune

      By joshuaho96 · Posted

      Yeah I suspect even if you hold airmass per cycle/cylinder constant if you get too far away from stock you're still going to have problems running the factory tune within the bounds of the factory load scale. Cams, different displacement/rod ratio, etc. I'm just lucky that the GTIII-SS with wastegate boost + CA compliance cats is pretty much equivalent to stock turbos. When I have actual space I can finally get it tuned and modify the fuel system for flex fuel to 100% handle any detonation concerns when cranking the boost to whatever those dinky turbos can put out.

      I would say no, why, because my daughter, who also lives in Goulburn, hasn't recommended us going there Pity, as we miss all the German joints around in Sydney, actually, the restaurants are the only thing I really miss about Sydney, and a special mention to Ishibanboshi at Bondi Junction, their Kara-age Don is heart cloggingly deliciousness (always added a special boiled egg...or 2) 😋

      Does that German restaurant still exist in the old place out the NW end of Goulburn? When I say "out the NW end of"...I am really being vague. It was 1997 when I was last there, and the only point of reference I can recall is that it was on the opposite side of the main drag from the big merino. And when I say "opposite side of the main drag", I don't mean "on the main drag". It was either a couple of streets back from there, or might have even been out in the sticks a bit further. Was an old farm building or mill or somesuch. And when I say "the big merino" I might actually be thinking of a completely different part of town, because I just looked on maps and the big bugger is not where I remembered him to be! The food was good, consisting largely of various German mystery-meat sausage/loaf things and kartofflen.

      So while the second sentence is completely correct and the whole point of the conversation, the first sentence bears consideration. If this bloke is just hoping to throw big turbos on and drive it around, because there are no helpful facilities at all in his tropical paradise** then he likely has zero chance of even knowing what the TP is on the last column in the stock maps, let alone know whether the ECU is operating anywhere near it or past it. So the point is very very moot. And, per what I said before, at stock boost on those turbos, you may well be off the end of the map. **I'm just back from Vanuatu, so I know exactly what small Pacific nations can be like wrt paradise without requisite facilities. But it's not even that simple. I put a high flow on my car and had to drive it around with a proper tune because of the lack of opportunity*** to put the bigger AFM and injectors into it to allow it to be tuned. I had to turn the boost down to less than I had before, and back off the boost controller's ramp, because it was exploring parts of the map that it didn't drive in before, and really couldn't access for tuning on the dyno either, and so was pinging. It was still well within the last column, because when I first**** set up the Nistune on the Neo I rescaled all axes of the maps to give some more space to explore. ***Family dyno was broken ****This was 13 years ago, and the TIM thing wasn't a thing then and so TP would definitely grow when pushing past the stock tune's limits.

      Squeaking clutch/throw out bearing

      By joshuaho96 · Posted

      Yep, this bit another local owner. I caught it before putting the transmission back into the car, what I noticed was the pressure plate fingers weren't flat and even. It's more obvious with the pull style clutch because the throwout bearing ring was visibly not flat once everything is put together. Nismo should really update their instructions to call out this specific detail. I'm not even sure the clutch as-shipped orients everything properly.
