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!!! :):)

      AHHHH gotchaa, I'll do that once I am home again. I tried doing the harness with the multimeter but it seems the car needed a jump, there was no power when it was in the "ON" position. Not sure if I should use car battery jump starter or if its because the stuff that has been disconnect the car just does send power.

      RB25DE NEO with Haltech ECU

      By Haggerty · Posted

      As far as I can tell I have everything properly set in the Haltech software for engine size, injector data, all sensors seem to be reporting proper numbers.  If I change any injector details it doesnt run right.    Changing the base map is having the biggest change in response, im not sure how people are saying it doesnt really matter.  I'm guessing under normal conditions the ECU is able to self adjust and keep everything smooth.   Right now my best performance is happening by lowering the base map just enough to where the ECU us doing short term cut of about 45% to reach the target Lambda of 14.7.  That way when I start putting load on it still has high enough fuel map to not be so lean.  After 2500 rpm I raised the base map to what would be really rich at no load, but still helps with the lean spots on load.  I figure I don't have much reason to be above 2500rpm with no load.  When watching other videos it seems their target is reached much faster than mine.  Mine takes forever to adjust and reach the target. My next few days will be spent making sure timing is good, it was running fine before doing the ECU and DBW swap, but want to verify.  I'll also probably swap in the new injectors I bought as well as a walbro 255 pump.

      spot the stagea

      By AnimalGarage · Posted

      It would be different if the sealant hadn't started to peel up with gaps in the glue about ~6cm and bigger in some areas. I would much prefer not having to do the work take them off the car . However, the filler the owner put in the roof rack mount cavities has shrunk and begun to crack on the rail delete panels. I cant trust that to hold off moisture ingress especially where I live. Not only that but I have faded paint on as well as on either side of these panels, so they would need to come off to give the roofline a proper respray. My goal is to get in there and put a healthy amount of epoxy instead of panel filler/bog and potentially skin with carbon fiber. I have 2 spare rolls from an old motorcycle fairing project from a few years back and I think it'd be a nice touch on a black stag.  I've seen some threads where people replace their roof rack delete with a welded in sheet metal part. But has anyone re-worked the roof rails themselves? It seems like there is a lot of volume there to add in some threads and maybe a keyway for a quick(er) release roof rack system. Not afraid to mill something out if I have to. It would be cool to have a cross bar only setup. That way I can keep the sleek roofline that would accept a couple bolts to gain back that extra utility  3D print some snazzy covers to hide the threaded section to be thorough and keep things covered when not using the rack.

      Probably not. A workshop grade scantool is my go to for proper Consult interrogation. Any workshop grade tool should do it. Just go to a workshop.

      R32 GTS (RB20DE) Injectors Replacement

      By GabsReDeal · Posted

      In my head it does make sense to be a fuel problem since that is what I touched when cleaning the system. When I was testing with the fuel pressure gauge, the pressure was constantly 2.5 bar with the FPR vacuum removed. When stalling, the pressure was going up to 3.0 bar (which is how it should be on ignition).
