People who slam on their brakes when the lights turn yellow...

Is it safer that you end up stopping in the middle of intersection and making 2 cars veer off nearly rear ending your shiney Mercedes only to reverse back to the line or that you ran a yellow light?

Seriously, the light went yellow and he slammed on the brakes on Northbourne around 4:30pm... The labourer in the Ute was pretty colourful about it, Mercedes yuppie wound up his windows and looked away, being in a truck is fun, I SEE EVERYTHING!

I feel exactly the same way.

This may sound a bit square, but I was reading an excellent solution to this problem in a design journal the other week. The author proposed inclining the area immediately next to the conveyer belt, to make it awkward to stand or keep a trolley on. There were a few others also, but this was the main one.

I see the same thing at the 'take a number and wait your turn' gig at Coles/Woolies.

the incline thing would be a good idea! It's amazing that we even have to come up with a "solution" for people to use common sense/courtesy but there ya go.. All I could think of was a "stand behind the line" type deal, but people would probably just ignore it :)

totally agree about woolies/coles too! Take a number and GTFO!! and everyone stands right in front of the ham too... this SHITS me cos I always want ham...mmmm ham yumm....

never really have an issue at the airport... usually I wander off, get a coffee, come back and my bag's done a couple of rounds, so I pick it up and go. avoids the crowds. if I'm in a rush, I just bump people out of the way if they don't move for a polite "excuse me".

lol I stand in front of the kabana section trying to figure out if I wanna get the kransky, kabana or the sausages... and I never know till somoene forces me to make a decision.

anywho... something that shits me... writer's block. hate it. I have an article due by tomorrow and I'm more inspired to do anything other than write. totally blows goats.

I can feel my arteries slamming shut...

The next 'cool' girl that rices up a Lance/Pulsar/Barina and drives down the Monaro Highway swerving whilst texting someone is gonna get their side mirrors kicked off...

People who wrongly accuse me of not doing my job properly and complaining to my manager to further the issue.

BUT THEN.. that person to be advised what I told them was right and they turn around and say, "I thought so". There will be fist to face.. shortly.

Pinheads who pull halfway onto the parkway kicking up enough dust and gravel to bring traffic to a crawl until we could all see again. Nice work you dried out the sphincter of the universe. Lucky i was in the other lane so i didn't cop too much.

Traffic this morning was terrible. There weren't too many cars on the roads, but everybody was going under the speed limit in both lanes. And then there are those people who get into the right hand lane in because they just remembered that they have to turn in 5kms.

There are times where i wish i had a big 4wd, i'd just push them out of the way!

and another one so soon... ;)

people who don't even try to park properly between the white lines. how hard is it? bloody hard evidently. not sure if it's stupidity (no one has ever explained what the white lines are for), laziness (it takes so much effort to straighten out the car), ignorance (the lines are just a 'guide'), a complete lack of respect for others (the fact that people have to park either side has escaped notice) or the complete absence of a care factor (which makes you really cool,yo).

or maybe it's a combination of the above.

i need to have a nice cup of tea and file my teeth while i'm watching V8 qual.

      R34 GTR Speedo Drive , sensor type ?

      By Butters · Posted

      Working through possible solutions of converting my mechanical speedo.    Anyone know what type of speedo sensor the factory r34 gtr getrag has ? what the output is ? I assume its not a VSS and more a voltage like earlier speedo sensors ? Can an ECU read it ?

      I can get more photos of it here soon and I plan to make a thread detailing the process. I received the car this way and it sorely needs refinishing. That is probably the most appealing photo of it. Up close it is fading, cracked, and needs to be re-glued. Depending on their condition I'm on the fence between refinishing or making a new set.  Another angle hiding the pimples and razor pumps

      Can you mount the ATTESA pump in other locations?

      According to this thread the RS4V with build plate RC40 comes with the R200 diff @ 4.083 ratio as well (mine has said RC40 denotation). We may need to check if the axle stubs are the same pattern as well. The auto subframes have longer axles. However I think yours being a later Series 2 as well, we should have the same bolt pattern for the diff stubs. Unless your upgraded rear also has upgraded axles. Either way, I would not be opposed to pulling the covers to check so I can inspect that  fancy rear core  Also I don't have HICAS. I don't believe that should change things but I hope the people here with heaps more experience than me can correct me if I'm wrong   Let me know if you want to attempt to make this work and I can get some pictures of mine from under the car.

      It's not that straightforward. For example I have had this code because my ignitor/power transistor wires were unplugged. It knows something is wrong but has no idea what it means. If you want to actually diagnose this I recommend following the service manual flowchart for code 21. Ohm out the harness, coilpacks, inspect the ECU, etc. And again, it's entirely possible for there to be no problem at all but if you're running a different coilpack it'll trigger the code because it doesn't like what it sees.
