Life has a way of getting even, just thank your lucky stars that the two of you are well. It could have been a very bad story all for a stone chip. Your a very lucky man, how many 15 month olds can boast at their 21'st, 'I was sideways on a public road in an R33'.... :mellow:

Lucky your both ok.

But Im going to be harsh here and go out on a limb (yes luxo 4x4 owners are the worst, at least when rich people buy s-classes they dont need to know how to drive) anyway. Just think about this for one second. Had you had a deep breath, and not done anything, not given him the bird, not then retaliated when he did the same back (as he probably didnt realise what he did wrong) you wouldnt have been in a potenally life threathing position. Serious dude hey, does take a bit, but a bit of a chill pill would have avoided that situation... Not saying what the other guy did was right by a long way, he definately needs some form of punishment.

I can understand exactly how you feel man. A very similar thing happened to me once. I wasn't so lucky and ended up veering sideways across a medium strip at 110. I still beleive i was so lucky there was nothing coming the other way. Curse those cheap rear tyres! :mellow:

This dude in the VW will get what he deserves some day.

Sad to hear cuz ill keep a look out in sydney :mellow: if i see him ill give him a nice firm middle finger above steering wheel of vs wagon though i might be getting skyline soon so hopefully it freaks him out skylines are all gainst him good to see you and your daughter are alright!!!!!!!!! good to see......I to suffer from road rage problems i get worked up alot and follow them. :mad:

exactly why im trying to stop my wife retaliating in anyway to idiots on the road

you never know what other people are capable of

in your case, you would have been miles in front, if you had just let this idiot go

id learn from that

yep idiots for sure. It is REALLY f**king scary when you have someone so blinded by anger that they try and run you off the road. It happened to me too about a month ago.. I was being tailgated so I gave the bird. This pissed the guy off ect ect ect.

So if this happens to anyone out there do as ronin has the second time, shake your head and just ignore the dickheads, don't retalite - even though it's very difficult when your pissed off yourself.

Shouldn't the f**ker be running over his own kids, instead of yours?

At any rate, people should learn to just chill out and roll with it. While I think the Toe-rag driver is a complete f**k stain, if you go around prodding a rabid dog you should expect to get bitten.

That said, chances are I'd do the same as you in the same situation.

What's the speed limit on the Calder, anyway? And after your impact did he stop and exchange insurance details?

As a suggestion, I'd pull his plates from your post. While you're telling people you don't condone vigilante revenge its still not worth the risk in case it does happen and you've written this angry post.

to be honest as much as it's all well n good to say ronin shouldn't have retaliated, but still, you get your windscreen chipped, you're gonna be angry as!

that said, it's western society that we're so highly strung, we work our entire lives we never get a break for family time, we earn heaps of money then live our lives paying off houses and all sorts of other stuff we don't really need, we're all part of a machine, we eat our dinner in front of a tv,

sorry for the rant i recently went overseas and they live very different to us, a lot less stress, a lot more time taken to slow down and sniff the roses... different to how we live i guess...

wow.. i guess we can just thank god that you are both alive and well.

personally, if someone had put me or my 15month daughter in the danger you speak of.. god knows what i would do. son of rajab knows it wouldnt be pretty though.

so, he literally rammed you? that is a f**king disgrace.. i hope he gets his.

good to hear though that your alright mate.. thats the important thing.

    • Hi Guys, Does anyone know any aftermarket part numbers for a starter motor to suit the VQ25DET? I can find lots of alternative part number for the VQ35DE, which I assume would fit, but there is a lot of conflicting information out there. Thanks..
    • I don't understand how this hasn't boiled down to - Upgrade the turbo when you have everything required. ECU, injectors, fuel pump, turbo, etc. Do it all at once.  If you don't have everything required, just enjoy the car as it is and keep saving up your pennies. 
    • Sounds like you've got an interesting adventure ahead here with local support if you have trouble! My guess is that, unboosted, you will be OK with a small upgrade like -9. What will happen is that once the stock ECU sees more airflow than it expects it will add a heap of fuel and pull a heap of timing to be safe because it can't understand how it could get that much air without there being an issue. You will see clouds of black smoke and it won't pull hard through the midrange and top end. So, overall it will be a bit frustrating but should be OK. If you are still nervous set the base timing back 2o through the CAS, but it will be even more sluggish everywhere. As said above through...this is not my guarantee your engine won't be blown into a million pieces, leaving you looking for very hard to find parts A better idea is get a computer with logging ASAP, wire in a wide band O2 sensor and a use remote tuner. I've done multiple cars this way and while it is not as good as a specific tune on a dyno they can get it 90% right. I'd suggest if you can afford an R33 GTR these days you can afford an ECU and tune. And if you can't afford that you sure won't be able to afford the rebuild if it goes bad in the meantime,.  
    • Yeah it would be nice if someone took the time to put that sort of information together, but there are a lot of variations in looms. I think you are making this way hard for yourself if you just want to get it running....sourcing an SR20 with the right wiring will be a billion times easier than matching the RB loom to an S15 chassis. If you do end up going this way, you just need to trace every wire in the loom with a multimeter, 95% of them will go to a location you can confirm at the ECU.....and then post it up for the next person who needs it  
    • Just top it up with water, and keep a general idea of how much you added. It is normal for water to be pushed into and pulled out of the reservoir through the cap, and it should not be more than half full or it will be likely to overflow when hot. Any decent mechanic can do a pressure test of the cooling system to confirm if you have a leak. Keep in mind if it is only leaking a little and when hot it may well evaporate before you see it hit the ground
