I totally agree with watching for kids in carparks!

I always check very carfully to see if there are any kids around, once i spot them...........

Wait for it..............

this is good............

It's simply just a matter of lining them up and flooring it! :mrt:

I almost ran over a puppy who thought it'd be smart to play chicken with my car the other day... stood in the middle of the road and refused to budge; ended up reversing and going the other way (only enough space for one car)

Does that count?

Personally, with some of the kids floating around these days - my sympathy would be towards the animal rather than the kids.

Need to watch for people who don't know how to use crossings either, People who think its okay to stop 10m's infront of the crossings yet still cross.

Had this happen to me today, and when i didnt stop the car and kept crawling up the guy cried like a little girl.

Well... ignoring the Sophie Delezio story, which hopefully will raise the debate about incapable, retarded drivers who shouldn't be on the road (anyone up for some mandatory license re-testing of all drivers?)

About ten years ago I has just driven past Belconnen Mall towards the lake, and there was a line of traffic in the right hand lane waiting to turn onto Emu Bank. And there's this little old lady (LOL) walking towards the road... My lane had no traffic, and you have your own lane turning left, so I'm not slowing down... and as the LOL reaches the road... she just walks straight out without even looking. And the funniest thing happened - I've done a complete lockup @ ~50kph, and she just does this little jump and keeps walking - not ONCE did she ever turn her head. And then I collected her over the bonnet :).... (Only Kidding :/ I stopped just in time )

Roads are built for cars and motorcylcles to travell on - ALL OTHERS BE WARE! your fair game it's natures Law. Flesh n bones is no match for 1000+kg's plus of rapidly moving metal.

Personally, I dont have the patience to be kind to Idiots ( I only slow down to perserve my car). and Yep I would feel extremely bad if I hit a child but theyre parent would be a bloodied pulp very soon afterwards.

Teach your children, take care of your children, watch your children/pets. If your old enuff to be out on your own take a carefull look when your crossing a road.

Increase the speed limits and reduce the stupid pedestrians!! When will society take responsibility for there own actions.

hmmmm where to start

well as i am the youngest of the act guys i think its my responsibility to look at it in the "teenager on his pushie" point of view. if i think i can make iton my bike, and wont get hit then ill go for it...had a few close calls, main one being crossing over louisa lawson (in chisholm) out of a side street and just cleared the car (which i didn't see)

all im saying is, there are kids/teenagers out there that are the same, will go for it if they think they can make it or what not, so be careful and dont always think they'll be carefull

as for kids in carparks, idiot parents is all ill say

and ps, the law is that a pedestrian on a road always has right of way...that being said, if ur in a carpark, ur in a car and they're walking lol....get my drift?

my 2 c's :ban:

I just love the 50kph speed limit introduction - what was the damned point? Sydney narrow roads - yes. Most Canberra roads - WTF?! Anyone who did 60kph on most of the narrow back suburban roads needed their heads read anyway... And where are the survey results showing how it stopped pedestrian deaths in Canberra?

And how about every time they upgrade a road or intersection, and REDUCE the speed limit (Oaks Estate turnoff near Queanbeyan the most recent retarded decision...). Uriarra road between Coppins Crossing and Cotter - why the 20kph speed drop???

I think the answer is that politicians can't drive to save their lives and assume that everyone else is a retarded git and treat them as such.

      Unknown sound similar to BOV on positive boost with partial throttle RB26

      By nouveau_poor · Posted

      Update: O2 sensor in my downpipe turned out to be faulty when I plugged in to the Haltech software. Was getting a "open circuit" warning. Tons of carbon buildup on it, probably from when I was running rich for a while before getting it corrected. Replaced with new unit and test drove again. The shuffle still happens, albeit far less now. I am not able to replicate it as reliably and it no longer happens at the same RPM levels as before. The only time I was able to hear it was in 5th going uphill and another time in 5th where there was no noticeable incline but applying more throttle first sped it up and then cleared it. Then once in 4th when I slightly lifted the throttle going over a bump but cleared right after. My understanding is that with the O2 sensor out, the ECU relies entirely on the MAP tune and isn't able to make its small adjustments based on the sensors reading. All in all, a big improvement, though not the silver bullet. Will try validating the actuators are set up correctly, and potentially setting up shop time to tune the boost controller on closed loop rather than the open loop it is set to now. Think if it's set up on closed loop to take the O2 reading, that should deal with these last bits. Will try to update again as I go.

      remote oil cooler hose size, 8,10 or an12?

      More so GReddy oil relocation kits, sandwich plates, etc. all use 10AN fittings. And same, I've only used 10AN and my car sees track work (circuit, doing laps, not 10 sec squirt business).

      street use or race track, what hose size and why? what factors change with the hose size options ?   see most comon is an10. when you see most oem external coolers are closer to an12? does high volume oil pump like nitto need an12 or 10 be just fine
