I agree - if the government really gave a toss about the road toll, they would make defensive driver courses compulsory - with testing on skid pans, on gravel and in non-abs/power steering cars, to make sure you know what to do when you get in trouble.

They need to make the general license testing/renewing procedure much more stringent, especially for very young and very old drivers. I am on the road all day, and have at least 6 people do VERY dangerous things near/to me every single day. It's quite amazing I have havent been hit yet - but that's not for lack of other people trying.

On another note, they need to make the fine for:

- not indicating early enough/at all

- pulling out of a sidestreet in front of someone causing them to lock it up

- turning a corner into the centre lane

- sitting in the right hand lane anytime - especially on an 80km/h road

$1,000 per offense.

These simple things shit me to tears, and they seem to be getting worse every week. No wonder road rage is so prevalent. There is no excuse for these things - it is purely inconsiderate people who don't care about the road rules, and think other people will get out of their way to not hit them.

/end rant

Andrew,

Driving around Uni quite a bit I actually find middle aged women to be the worse, they are actually quite agro and I think they think they own the road. ;)

I've had so many of them pull out in front of me causing me to hit the brakes hard, I then see they are on their mobile phone. :D

There's ONE lady inparticular that I often see as I leave, without a doubt if I see her she always pulls out infront and doesn't accelerate. I've gave her multiple beeps as she's on the phone as she's always on the phone leaving work or what ever she does. Now she gives me the finger all the time.. lol

- not indicating early enough/at all

- pulling out of a sidestreet in front of someone causing them to lock it up

- turning a corner into the centre lane

- sitting in the right hand lane anytime - especially on an 80km/h road <------------ This one needs to be enforced. I often see Learners with their parents sitting in the right lane cruising, damn I wish I was a cop more, I would inform the bad drivers that choose to ignore general courtesy road rules.

its more like, most of the p platers r the hoons, not some. whenever i c a p plater u can tell how they drive, always trying 2 change lanes and over take, taking corners fast, taking off at lights, etc etc. i had one this morning try overtake me on a bend (which could have been dangerous) so i taught him a lesson and cut him off n made him stay behind me all the way cos there was a truck infront going slow. ha take that.

..which proves ur just as bad ;)

(only joking, dont freak out :mage:) Im on my P's for 7 more days, but i stopped being a tool on the road long time ago (learned my lesson when my freind lost his life in a tragic accident).

    • The title should have posted "EFR7670 exhaust housing selection RB26" I can seem to edit thr title on my Android.
    • I'm looking for some real world experiences/feed back from anyone who has personally ran a EFR7670 with a 1.05 exhaust housing or a .83 I'm leaning towards the .83 because its a street car used mostly for spirited driving in the canyons roads. I"m not looking for big numbers on paper. I want a responsive powerband that will be very linear to 8000 rpm. I dont mind if power remains somewhat flat but dont want power to drop off on top. The turbo I've purchased is a 1.05, although the mounting flange T3 vs T4 and internal vs external waste gates are different on both housings, I not concern about swapping parts or making fabrication mods to get what I want. Based on some of the research I've done with chat gpt, the 1.05 housing seems to be the way to go with slightly more lag and future proofing for more mods but recommends .83 for best response/street car setup. AI doesn't have the same emotions as real people driving a GTR so I think you guys will be able to give me better feed back 😀   
    • Surely somebody has one in VIC. Have you asked at any shops?  Is this the yearly inspection or did you get a canary?
    • This is where I share pain with you, @Duncan. The move to change so many cooling system pieces to plastic is a killer! Plastic end tanks and a few plastic hose flanges on my car's fail after so little time.  Curious about the need for a bigger rad, is that just for long sessions in the summer or because the car generally needs more cooling?
    • So, that is it! It is a pretty expensive process with the ATF costing 50-100 per 5 litres, and a mechanic will probably charge plenty because they don't want to do it. Still, considering how dirty my fluid was at 120,000klm I think it would be worth doing more like every 80,000 to keep the trans happy, they are very expensive to replace. The job is not that hard if you have the specialist tools so you can save a bit of money and do it yourself!
