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.

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.

      34 de+t conversion using s2 stagea automatic transmission, engine harness and ecu

      By albyz34gt · Posted

      Ok so after much research and talking with knowledgeable people I've got my turbo conversion done and it's all running great other than 1 small issue.  Car has remained auto with the na auto and tcm, I've used a stagea ecu with. NIstune board and everything is great other than my gear selection on the dash. It illuminates park, reverse, neutral, 3rd and 2nd. But nothing drive or what gear your in when you pop it into tiptronic.  I'm sure there is may e 1 wire in the ecu plug I need to move to rectify this. Dose anyone here have any ideas?   Cheers guys

      R32 GTS (RB20DE) Injectors Replacement

      Sorry I haven't been following all the detail, so you may have tried this. Does it idle with the tiniest bit of throttle you can add? You've mentioned the IACV, does it have an AAC valve and have you adjusted it at all (ie, screw the idle adjust screw all the way in, then back it out a couple of turns until idle is stable)?

      My bad, I unplugged the one underlined in red instead of yellow before. With the car started, after unplugging the IACV (the one underlined in yellow), it idled at around 400/500 for 3 seconds before stalling. Attempting to start the car without the IACV will not start the car.   It does stutter and sputter for around 5 seconds before dying. However, immediately after starting it, you can already hear some slight sputters from the exhaust.   It won't start with the AFM unplugged. If it is when the car has already started, it stalls in a few seconds.   Yesterday, I did take some logs using Nistune of 3 scenarios. Car idling till it stalls Car idling and unplugging the IACV Car idling and removing the AFM I also have some previous logs of when the Car is idling till it stalls and when driving and it cuts. I am not really knowledgeable enough to understand what to look for. After every test, car idles rougher and rougher, until I have to stop. It will be fine the day after.

      Wheel Sizes & Offsets For Skylines

      There is no difference between a 17x8 and an 18x8. The total diameter of the tyre needs to remain +/- the same (so you don't mess up the gearing, speedo reading, and clearance when turning front wheels..... so you just need to use a lower profile tyre on th 18 than you do on the 17. /rocket surgery.

      I thought the same to start with. But then I thought it was one of those LCAs where the end of the ARB goes through a bushing in the LCA itself, instead of having an end link.
