I know its the law but i get so pissed off when bus drivers blatantly pull out once they have picked/dropped someone, its almost like they dont look they just expect us to know there pulling out.

That is actually one of the higher ones up on my list that pisses me off. About half a year ago my girlfriend was driving me to work and she went to go around one of these buses. As she was about a 1/4 of the way around it pulls out and basically cut her off as a median strip was up ahead. She chucked a spac at the bus driver but i was like they are allowed to do it... i then went off at her for going around in a stupid area and putting my baby at risk :laugh:

the laws that are in place atm for buses is that you MUST give way to them when pulling out....

Yeh but they pull out when you are ALONG side of them. Where are you meant to go? They pull out THEN indicate, how are you meant to know what the driver is thinking?

That is another thing that pisses me off, peope that turn and THEN indicate, they are there to warn people in advance what you are intending to do.

Another thing is people that pull up at lights and want to turn right, they wait until you are behind them stopped at the lights THEN indicate to turn right so you cant get around them

I just moved from canberra to Sydney, you guys have nothing to complain about. There should not be any d*($# on the ACT roads because they are ALL here in Sydney.

Oh i have one more.... scooters the next scooter that cuts me off is going to have a mark from my FMIC grill in their back. They push through the traffic and take off fast at the lights until they hit max speed at 40kph then hold up traffic. I had one overtake me on the left around a blind corner in the wet the other day. I spent the next 20mins stuck behind him doing 45kph in a 70 zone.

This is great to whinge and bitch....

It is like a free shrink visit :laugh::D:D

yea i agree with trooper we have only had one running with the bus which was the incident i mentioned i know they have right of way but if they have there indicator on showing they are pulled over and you go around them and they pull out while you are next to them there is not alot you can do except either continue on or brake and get out of there way.

Also NSW on the whole is gay... when i had to go up to newcastle it never ceased to amaze me the fact that sydney and newcastle just dont have slip lanes they don't exist and when you are trying to go straight ahead and the car in front puts his indicator on right to turn across traffic you have to sit behind him/her... so thats my number 1 tip... in the citys the left lane is usually quicker.

I know exactly what you mean! Its even funnier when you give it some so they can't sneak in front and they ride your ass like angry little scooter men! Proper motor bikes i don't mind and I let in every time but these gay faggio scooters just aren't motorbikes! :P

Proper bikes are fine, because they CAN go 3 times faster than anything else on the road. They dont hold up traffic. It is like scooter riders win themselves "HERO" status by getting out the front of a big "RACE" and just hold everyone off to cross the IMAGINARY line first.

Anyone know a good place that makes custom bull bars for the lines? with barbed spikes on the front and SHARKS WITH LASERS

I know i shouldnt waste posts by just laughing but come on :blink::D

I seem to get "ticked off" quite a bit. I am starting to realise how much pisses me off now i am writing things down.

This one is up there with taxi drivers and scooters though ........THE POST MAN

My mailbox is RIGHT next to the intercom. I order a LOT of things from the net to be delivered. THe delivery guy for australia post gets paid per package and it is faster for him to write "sorry we missed you" cards before he goes out and just slides them into letterboxes when people are home. I have made 11 complaints to australia post and it is still happening. THEN they lost my nismo car mats i bought $300 down the drain because they weren't insured properly:( .

I have started posting things to myself so that i can catch the bugger but I haven't caught him yet....SOON.

I was home all day yesterday when the delivery guy "MISSED ME" so i had to drive to the post office AGAIN to get my parcel which i needed today. I got there at exactly 4:55pm (i syncronise my watch regularly) JUST as i got there they locked the door and told me to come back tomorrow. I told them i was not coming back and that they would have to deliver it to me tomorrow, they said they couldnt do that - they only "try" to deliver once.

I walked around the back and pushed through the back door just as they were closing it and refused to leave until they gave me my package. "please sir you have to leave" " like f*($ im leaving, you should be doing your job so i dont have to waste my time and petrol driving in here 3 times a week". "sir if you dont leave the alarm will go off, and the police will come" "IM NOT LEAVING UNTIL I GET MY MAIL"

Hehe

Anyway moral of story... I got my package... and australia post hates me. :D

Mine is on the ground floor. Instead of reaching down to put the card in he just has to reach up and push 5 buttons. Fedex and private couriers manage to do this without ANY problems.

If i catch him, i will be sure to post updates...hopefully they are from the outside of a cell though :whistling:

Well, I have something that really ticks me off...

Four Wheel Drive drivers!! :mad:

How many times have you just been driving along doing the speed limit when a four wheel drive comes flying along doing twice the speed limit with no regard or respect for other people. They think they're king $h!t in their high ass four wheel drives when you cannot see through them, or around them. They'll cut any one off, sit on your ass for 15minutes THEN go around you because you're not doing 120km. I swear, these things are a danger on the road, funny that aren't they "OFF ROAD VEHICLES" especially those idiotswho raise their cars so high they could be a damn truck!! (ADDED NOTE: WE GET DEFETCED FOR BEING TOO LOW BUT THEY SIT 6 FOOT HIGH AND IT'S LEGAL... WTF...BAHHHHHHH HUMBUG!!!!)

How hard is it when you have a four wheel drive parked on either side of you in a car park and are trying to reverse out without losing your ass end!! Then to top it all off, it's a speeding through a car park four wheel drive that almost takes you out!!!!

Another one, females drivers in four wheel drives towing horse floats have been dubbed by the NRMA the most dangerous drivers on the road... Yes I am female, but I so agree with that as they forget they are towing and cut people off and speed with extra weight on the car!

...And they think P Platers with high performance cars are dangerous, why don't they ban them driving four wheel drives and anyone else who drives them this way!! :rant::( let's start a petition to get them off the road lol

One last note... Especially the bogan ones dressed in their hella sexy fluero yellow/orange vests who stare at your fully sick lowered skyline, realise you're a female and wearing a low cut top and mini skirt!! Get a real car then you might get some!!! :):)

      Strange issue RB25DET wont start

      By jtha7 · Posted

      Ps i found the below forum and it seems to be the same scenario Im dealing with. Going to check my ECU coolant temp wire tomorrow    From NICOclub forum: s1 RB25det flooding at start up Thu Apr 11, 2013 7:23 am I am completely lost on this. Car ran perfectly fine when I parked it at the end of the year. I took the engine out and painted the engine bay, and put a fuel cell with an inline walbro 255 instead of the in tank unit I had last year. After reinstalling everything, the engine floods when the fuel pump primes. if i pull the fuel pump fuse it'll start, and as soon as I put the fuse back in it starts running ridiculously rich. I checked the tps voltage, and its fine. Cleaned the maf as it had some dust from sitting on a shelf all winter, fuel pressure is correct while running, but wont fire until there is less than 5psi in the lines. The fuel lines are run correctly. I have found a few threads with the same problem but no actual explanation of what fixed it, the threads just ended. Any help would be appreciated. Rb25det s1 walbro255 fuel pump nismo fpr holset hx35 turbo fmic 3" exhaust freddy intake manifold q45tb q45 maf   Re: s1 RB25det flooding at start up Fri Apr 12, 2013 5:07 am No, I didn't. I found the problem though. There was a break in one of the ecu coolant temp sensor wires. Once it was repaired it fired right up with no problems. I would have never thought a non working coolant temp sensor would have caused such an issue.

      Hi sorry late reply I didnt get a chance to take any pics (my mechanics on the other side of the city) but the plugs were fouled from being too rich. I noticed the MAF wasn't genuine, so I replaced it with a genuine green label unit. I also swapped in a different ignitor, but the issue remains. I've narrowed it down a bit now: - If I unplug and reconnect the fuel lines and install fresh spark plugs, the car starts right up and runs perfectly. Took it around the block with no issues - As soon as I shut it off and try to restart, it won't start again - Fuel pressure while cranking is steady around 40 psi, injectors have good spray, return line is clear, and the FPR vacuum is working. It just seems like it's getting flooded after the first start I unplugged coolant sensors to see if its related to ECU flooding but that didnt make a difference. Im thinking its related to this because this issue only started happening after fixing coolant leaks and replacing the bottom part of the stock manifolds coolant pipe. My mechanic took off the inlet to get to get to do these repairs. My mechanics actually just an old mate who's retired now so ill be taking it to a different mechanic who i know has exp with RBs to see if they find anything. If you have any ideas please send em lll give it a try. Ive tried other things like swapping the injectors, fuel rail, different fuel pressure regs, different ignitor, spark plugs, comp test and MAF but the same issue persists.

      Freddy Plenum vs Genuine options RB25

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      My return flow is custom and puts the return behind the reo, instead of at the bottom. All my core is in the air flow, rather than losing some of it up behind the reo. I realise that the core really acts more as a spiky heatsink than as a constant rate heat exchanger, and that therefore size is important.... but mine fits everything I needed and wanted without having to cut anything, and that's worth something too. And there won't be a hot patch of core up behind the reo after every hit, releasing heat back into the intake air.

      There is a really fun solution to this problem, buy a Haltech (or ECU of your choice) and put the MAF in the bin.  I'm assuming your going to want more power in future, so you'll need to get the ECU at some stage. I'd put the new MAF money towards the new ECU.
