There isn't an "all the above" option.

Probably have to be idiots in autos who don't know how to control the throttle when moving off from lights. Had 2 this morining - as I'm changing 1 -> 2, not going real quick, look in the mirror and car behind is gaining at a rate of knots. Stupid thing is, they generally do it at the next set of lights!

Then ignorant sh1ts who think they can just drive to the front of a long right-turn lane (High St onto Monash Fwy) and expect to be let in, despite the rest of us have had the patience to join the end of the queue. Then probably the nits who let them in!

So the guy merging onto the freeway has the right of the way ? coz when i was down in Melbourne afew weeks ago, i noticed cars changing lanes for me when i was merging in. In NSW its opposite, we have to give way.

No same as NSW here but its a courtesy thing I think is what James and Snowy are saying.

Actually Vic has a free for all on the roads, best man wins :whistling:

i hate it when your trying to turn left and a van or 4wd is turning right and you have to wait for em to go coz you cant see shit...

amen to that, you think they would give you the thumbs up if it was safe for you to go.

I like to play tow bar fishing, with tailgaters i havent got one yet but im getting better, full licenced drivers in Vans and 4x4's who think they r fcuking race cars cutting in and out of lanes to gain 2 spots, i will kill the next one!

Being cut-off or not allowed to merge

If that had the option of "People who have no idea how to merge" then that would be a winner.

The number of people you see trying to join a freeway at 60km/hr when the traffic is doing 100km/hr is amazing. On top of that - dicks in hoodies driving old commodores that insist of trying to pinch a spot when 2 lanes are merging into one also amazes me. What do they think they are going to gain by jumping infront of 1 car? All they do make everyone else back up further.

Merging is definitely my biggest issue on our roads.

Have to totally agree. There is not way you can join a freeway when your going a good 40km slower than all other traffic and expect it to all be fine...

Im sure there is a huge list that could be generated in regards to this but great topic adz...

P plate drivers...

:)

nah but seriously, tailgating is definitely up there for me. trucks tend to do it moreso, nothing worse than looking in your rearview and seeing a truck 5cm's off the back of ur car :D

another one is f**ktards who dont know how to use roundabouts. how hard is give way to the right or people already in the roundabout to remember ffs.

one time some lady was in the turning lane, with her indicator on on my right side, there was nothing in the lane to go straight so i was right to go, however, at the last second she decides she wants to go straight jst as i'd entered the roundabout, then has the nerve to flip me off.... leaving me like.... wtf :D

oh and the thing about people slowing down to merge onto the freeway, god that shits me.

IT's funny that the order they are in (by percentages) is the opposite to how the government thinks they are saving the road toll, and it is the order of problems that need to be attacked.

Did any one see the hoon stories on friday night???

The last comment was "Young... people should not be allowed on the roads"

WTF???

Here's a bulletproof solution to reducing road toll for people below 30; life imprisonment for anyone caught driving under the age of 30.

end rant.

i picked being cut off or not being able to merge, altho i dont really get to angry about specific things like that, the thing that annoys me is just when people are plain stupid, seeing people just do stupid things sh*ts me, altho i'm no perfect driver ether :D we all make mistakes.

for those that hate tailgaters, my cousins has an awesome solution. in the back of his corolla he has a nice big hella spotlight facing rearwards :( moral of the story, dont tailgate any corollas lol

Seriously though i have gone with 2 that really annoy me and thats not being allowed to merge and being tailgated. I'll slow right down and if that still doesnt work i just tap my brakes just so the brake lights will come on and watchin them slam on theirs

People who can't even lift their hand up or wave in sign of appreciation when you left them merge, give way... etc :D

It's not hard! Damn snobs...

Yeah copped that this morning......makes me think twice the next time I go to do it. Courtesy people!!! :D

    • I guess one thing that might be wrong is the manifold pressure.  It is a constant -5.9 and never moves even under 100% throttle and load.  I would expect it to atleast go to 0 correct?  It's doing this with the OEM MAP as well as the ECU vacuum sensor. When trying to tune the base map under load the crosshairs only climb vertically with RPM, but always in the -5.9 column.
    • AHHHH gotchaa, I'll do that once I am home again. I tried doing the harness with the multimeter but it seems the car needed a jump, there was no power when it was in the "ON" position. Not sure if I should use car battery jump starter or if its because the stuff that has been disconnect the car just does send power.
    • As far as I can tell I have everything properly set in the Haltech software for engine size, injector data, all sensors seem to be reporting proper numbers.  If I change any injector details it doesnt run right.    Changing the base map is having the biggest change in response, im not sure how people are saying it doesnt really matter.  I'm guessing under normal conditions the ECU is able to self adjust and keep everything smooth.   Right now my best performance is happening by lowering the base map just enough to where the ECU us doing short term cut of about 45% to reach the target Lambda of 14.7.  That way when I start putting load on it still has high enough fuel map to not be so lean.  After 2500 rpm I raised the base map to what would be really rich at no load, but still helps with the lean spots on load.  I figure I don't have much reason to be above 2500rpm with no load.  When watching other videos it seems their target is reached much faster than mine.  Mine takes forever to adjust and reach the target. My next few days will be spent making sure timing is good, it was running fine before doing the ECU and DBW swap, but want to verify.  I'll also probably swap in the new injectors I bought as well as a walbro 255 pump.  
    • It would be different if the sealant hadn't started to peel up with gaps in the glue about ~6cm and bigger in some areas. I would much prefer not having to do the work take them off the car . However, the filler the owner put in the roof rack mount cavities has shrunk and begun to crack on the rail delete panels. I cant trust that to hold off moisture ingress especially where I live. Not only that but I have faded paint on as well as on either side of these panels, so they would need to come off to give the roofline a proper respray. My goal is to get in there and put a healthy amount of epoxy instead of panel filler/bog and potentially skin with carbon fiber. I have 2 spare rolls from an old motorcycle fairing project from a few years back and I think it'd be a nice touch on a black stag.  I've seen some threads where people replace their roof rack delete with a welded in sheet metal part. But has anyone re-worked the roof rails themselves? It seems like there is a lot of volume there to add in some threads and maybe a keyway for a quick(er) release roof rack system. Not afraid to mill something out if I have to. It would be cool to have a cross bar only setup. That way I can keep the sleek roofline that would accept a couple bolts to gain back that extra utility  3D print some snazzy covers to hide the threaded section to be thorough and keep things covered when not using the rack. 
    • Probably not. A workshop grade scantool is my go to for proper Consult interrogation. Any workshop grade tool should do it. Just go to a workshop.
