While I'm at it, and because it happened to me last night...

Dumb @ss feral chicks in panelvans (yeah there are still some around... panelvans that is... and well it doesn't have to be that specific, but thats what it was last night) who put their blinker on and move into your lane, almost wiping you out (no I wasn't speeding) then abusing me for being in her way WFT!!!! I wasn't speeding, been sitting beside her for 3-4 minutes. Then the skanky dumb@ss went in behind me and flashed her lights and shook her fist at me.

LET ME AT HER!!! I want her @ss :D let me rephrase that... not in the way that you guys wanna watch okay?

^^ yah, she wouldnt have seen you. Mates and I have noticed underCovers often sit in your blind spot on purpose. They line up your C pillar with your rearview.

While im here, UnderCovers that drive NON Falcon / Commo's... dammit, cant they just stick to a small subset of cars? Not Explorer's, Magna's Camry's and what have you

Yeah I fully understood that I was in her blind spot... but what I can't understand is her reaction to me, given I was minding my own business in my own lane and hadn't done anything.

I'm still annoyed at the amount of people I see who tailgate and drive stupid speeds. Funnily enough most if not all of these people drive a non hoon car. Would like the police to target these people for once instead of the people with hotted up cars. We aren't all irresponsible.

My favourite as well is the one working tailight brigade.

the hunk of cr_p car that drove past the SAME marked police car that defected me. This thing had NO read "0" headlights (it had one parker light active) and clearly balding tyres. Was blowing smoke and could possibly have been runing on moonshine. I mean honestly there were that many problems you couldve defected it from about a hundred yards away.

Unbelievable...

I'm so glad they defected me and got my totally unsafe car off the road...

Just the sphincter of the universe slap her.

The f**kers that are smashing all the windows and breaking into the southern schools atm, thats whats grinding my gears. Guys if your going past a school anywhere, can you please have a look and if you see any kids even on the ovals (which by the way is still counted as trespassing), please call the cops on 131 444. I think there would be around a collective 200 windows been broken already which is a lot of money to replace, not to mention taking up police and my time.

I also caught a junkie in a primary school right near my house the other day, not cool.

People that insist on continuing to do 50 in a 60 zone.

yep

my biggest hate is ppl who sit under the speed limit...

If you can't do the speed limit (which is set for the lowest common denominator on the road) then HAND IN YOUR LICENSE NOW

Hi all

i get really pissed off when kangaroos run out on th eroad and stop in front of your 97 grt and crash into it!!!!!! on the plus side the bar reinforcment is quite strong in the gtr. which stop there from being to much damage. :thumbsup:

S*it send us some pics, i hit a roo in my mustang. Killed the roo hit it at 80kph. When i told people i had hit one and they tried to find the damage they couldn't find it. Just bent the corner of the bonnet down a little.

Roos sometimes walk up to the door at my work on the graveyard shift...Unfortunatly the guy who is on is too busy to reap revenge upon it for all the suicide runs they do on cars. I also love how cops start tailgating me hoping ill speed up a little so they can book me, and when i just slow down 10kmph they over take me (unbroken lines naturally) and flaw it going up to atleast 130 in a 60 zone...all without its flashies on....must of been late for a payment...

As for speed limits, they are designed so if you have an accident in that spot it wont be fatal...Bah more like designed so elderly people can still keep up with what is going on.... "Oh Malcom is that a red light or a pokermachine" (I chose that name at random) And keeping on that topic (I have alot to cry about dont i...) I was sitting in Government shop front to get rego renew, and there was this lady...elderly...getting a license renewal. When it came to the eye test, she came up with the excuse that she had recently gotten 'new glasses' so she was getting used to them, and then proceded to say if she rung her GP he will say she could see as good as an bagel..i mean eagle... I was thinking, if you cant see properly with your glasses why are you driving... I'm not saying all old people are bad drivers, its just its the only ones who try to merge into me.

LOL bagel :D

Yeah sideswipers. My gf was coming off the roundabout near what used to be Gull at the top of Belconnen, and this stupid bugger in the inside lane cut across in front of her with no indication and when they were both barely off the roundabout. She had to slam on the brakes and this loser only missed the front of her car by literally A FOOT!!!!! And sure enough, I knew what he was going to do before he did it, he pulled across her lane and straight into the servo. Gf was so shocked she had to pull over and steady herself for a few minutes (hasn't been in in an incident that close before).

I would love to get one of those scrolling electronic signs you can run off car power, put it in my back window and when someone tailgates, turn it on with the big red message: "BACK UP MATE" Then if they refuse, I'd switch the message to "YOU ASKED FOR IT" and watch them quickly distance themselves about 200 metres for fear of me slamming on the brakes ;) They are on eBay, but they are usually one of those "5 dollar item, 50 bucks shipping" dealies.. but if I see anyone with it, you're a champ hahahha

Edit: Bah! It's always something.. get your car fixed and then your electric toothbrush dies :laugh:

Edited by sl33py

The young women are way better. Talking on the phone while driving and a smoke in the other hand at the same time and then somehow finding time and a free hand to apply make up, obviously driving the car isn't a high priority if your going to crash at least you will look good.

Delivery drivers / couriers!

Expecting 3 deliveries today with set times and only 1 turned up with no phone call from the others to say they will be late / make alternate arrangements... ffs if you hate your job that much and insist on continuously doing this then go find a new one, but theres no reason to be an ass and not turn up when you demand stupid amounts of money for the privilege not to mention that the fact that people need their items. Will probably stop buying online completely because of this as it always turns up in me chasing and having to abuse them, great customer service!

    • Next on the to-do list was an oil and filter change. Nothing exciting to add here except the oil filter is in a really stupid place (facing the engine mount/subframe/steering rack). GReddy do a relocation kit which puts it towards the gearbox, I would have preferred towards the front but there's obviously a lot more stuff there. Something I'll have to look at for the next service perhaps. First time using Valvoline oil, although I can't see it being any different to most other brands Nice... The oil filter location... At least the subframe wont rust any time soon I picked up a genuine fuel filter, this is part of the fuel pump assembly inside the fuel tank. Access can be found underneath the rear seat, you'll see this triangular cover Remove the 3x plastic 10mm nuts and lift the cover up, pushing the rubber grommet through The yellow fuel line clips push out in opposite directions, remove these completely. The two moulded fuel lines can now pull upwards to disconnect, along with the wire electrical plug. There's 8x 8mm bolts that secure the black retaining ring. The fuel pump assembly is now ready to lift out. Be mindful of the fuel hose on the side, the hose clamp on mine was catching the hose preventing it from lifting up The fuel pump/filter has an upper and lower section held on by 4 pressure clips. These did take a little bit of force, it sounded like the plastic tabs were going to break but they didn't (don't worry!) The lower section helps mount the fuel pump, there's a circular rubber gasket/grommet/seal thing on the bottom where the sock is. Undo the hose clip on the short fuel hose on the side to disconnect it from the 3 way distribution pipe to be able to lift the upper half away. Don't forget to unplug the fuel pump too! There's a few rubber O rings that will need transferring to the new filter housing, I show these in the video at the bottom of this write up. Reassembly is the reverse Here's a photo of the new filter installed, you'll be able to see where the tabs are more clearing against the yellow OEM plastic Once the assembly is re-installed, I turned the engine over a few times to help build up fuel pressure. I did panic when the car stopped turning over but I could hear the fuel pump making a noise. It eventually started and has been fine since. Found my 'lucky' coin underneath the rear seat too The Youtube video can be seen here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uLJ65pmQt44&t=6s
    • It was picked up on the MOT/Inspection that the offside front wheel bearing had excessive play along with the ball joint. It made sense to do both sides so I sourced a pair of spare IS200 hubs to do the swap. Unfortunately I don't have any photos of the strip down but here's a quick run down. On the back of the hub is a large circular dust cover, using a flat head screw driver and a mallet I prised it off. Underneath will reveal a 32mm hub nut (impact gun recommended). With the hub nut removed the ABS ring can be removed (I ended up using a magnetic pick up tool to help). Next up is to remove the stub axle, this was a little trickier due to limited tools. I tried a 3 leg puller but the gap between the hub and stub axle wasn't enough for the legs to get in and under. Next option was a lump hammer and someone pulling the stub axle at the same time. After a few heavy hits it released. The lower bearing race had seized itself onto the stub axle, which was fine because I was replacing them anyway. With the upper bearing race removed and the grease cleaned off they looked like this The left one looked pristine inside but gave us the most trouble. The right one had some surface rust but came apart in a single hit, figure that out?! I got a local garage to press the new wheel bearings in, reassemble was the opposite and didn't take long at all. Removing the hub itself was simple. Starting with removing the brake caliper, 2x 14mm bolts for the caliper slider and 2x 19mm? for the carrier > hub bolts. I used a cable tie to secure the caliper to the upper arm so it was out of the way, there's a 10mm bolt securing the ABS sensor on. With the brake disc removed from the hub next are the three castle nuts for the upper and lower ball joints and track rod end. Two of these had their own R clip and one split pin. A few hits with the hammer and they're released (I left the castle nuts on by a couple of turns), the track rod ends gave me the most grief and I may have nipped the boots (oops). Fitting is the reversal and is very quick and easy to do. The lower ball joints are held onto the hub by 2x 17mm bolts. The castle nut did increase in socket size to 22mm from memory (this may vary from supplier) The two front tyres weren't in great condition, so I had those replaced with some budget tyres for the time being. I'll be replacing the wheels and tyres in the future, this was to get me on the road without the worry of the police hassling me.
    • Yep, the closest base tune available was for the GTT, I went with that and made all the logical changes I could find to convert it to Naturally Aspirated. It will rev fine in Neutral to redline but it will be cutting nearly 50% fuel the whole way.  If I let it tune the fuel map to start with that much less fuel it wont run right and has a hard time applying corrections.  These 50% cuts are with a fuel map already about half of what the GTT tune had.  I was having a whole lot of bogging when applying any throttle but seem to have fixed that for no load situations with very aggressive transient throttle settings. I made the corrections to my injectors with data I found for them online, FBCJC100 flowing 306cc.  I'll have to look to see if I can find the Cam section. I have the Bosch 4.9 from Haltech. My manifold pressure when watching it live is always in -5.9 psi/inHg
    • Hi My Tokico BM50 Brake master cylinder has a leak from the hole between the two outlets (M10x1) for brake pipes, I have attached a photo. Can anyone tell me what that hole is and what has failed to allow brake fluid to escape from it, I have looked on line and asked questions on UK forums but can not find the answer, if anyone can enlighten me I would be most grateful.
    • It will be a software setting. I don't believe many on here ever used AEM. And they're now a discontinued product,that's really hard to find any easy answers on. If it were Link or Haltech, someone would be able to just send you a ECU file though.
