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.

on ashley drive this arvo there was a great big black dog just pottering around the road... wouldnt left a mad dent in someones car, he decided to cross the road in front of the car going to other way to me. shouldve seen the fellas face :angry:

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.

Dayne

shell wouldnt do that!!
normally i wouldnt :) ... but god i really wanted to smack her, stupid physco freak :/

she ran off really quickly into the mall, so I couldnt do much but keep driving out of the carpark... i was so angry and upset.

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.

> end rant

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.

    • Hi GTSBoy, Excuse my ignorance but what does a "Bad" Knee point mean ? 
    • HFM BM57 has a "bad" knee point, IIRC. It's not the same thing as the later R chassis MC.
    • The ATTESSA is functionally identical to R34; there were a bunch of JDM models that continued ATTESSA including Fuga/Q70, Skyline/Q50, Cima etc as an option. All with Auto only and I think mostly for snow regions. AFAIK there were no AWD VR30DDTT sold in Australia - it is on my to do list to check regs for racing a LHD car in Targa/ATR/AASA/CAMS events because if I can get the auto to work it would be interesting to run a 4wd car The Ecuteck TCM tuning is the same model as their ECU tuning, they already have it for R35 and Dose's favourite, BMW. You buy "points" to allow your computer to be tuned, buy either a bluetooth (phone app) or bluetooth+USB+Key (phone and PC) dongle, and pay for a tune that will be locked to your tuner ( ). You can also access the tuning software yourself but 1. it is mega expensive and 2. these computers have a billion parameters that intersect, so how could you ever spend enough time on it to get a decent result.
    • Or, is it a case of what it is like owning an R series Skyline? NFI what the previous owner has done or fiddled with... Ha ha ha After reading through this thread, I went on a bit of a research about the Q50/Q60. Now I'm quite intrigued by them! Is the AWD in them more like a WRX where it's always AWD, or is it more like the ATTESSA in the GTRs? By the sound of this TCU tuning, this sounds like a case of someone has made some real software for it, and you just need the right piece of hardware, and then you license that specific vehicle/TCU. Or is this a case of the software will be really expensive so only a few tuners have it, and you still have to pay a license per vehicle?
    • By popular demand.. it was a coil. Got my hands on 1 new OEM coil, replaced with the one that made the less noise difference when I unplugged it while the car was running and started the car up. No stutter and the engine light was gone. I guess I’ll buy the other 5 they have lol
