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.

    • To follow up a question from earlier too since I had the front bar off again (fking!) This is what is between the bumper and the drivers side wheel And this is the navigator side, only one thing but its a biggy! So basically....no putting coolers in the wheel arches without a lot of moving other stuff. Assuming I move to properly race prepping this car I'll take that job on and see how the computers respond to removing a whole bunch of ADAS modules
    • So I prepped the car for another track day on Wednesday (will be interesting to see coolant temps post flushing out and the larger reservoir, with a forecast of 3-14 being 20o cooler than last time I took it out). Couple of things to mention; since I am just driving the car and not taking a support vehicle, I took the rear seats out and just loaded the back up Team Trackday style. Look at all that space! To cover off removing the rear seat....it is weird (note the hybrid is probably different because it wouldn't have folding rear seats) Basically, you remove the lower seat base, very similar to a r series but it is a clip that pulls forward to release the base rather than it being bolted down. Easy Then, you need to remove the side section of the rear seat on each side. There is a 14mm head nut at the bottom of the side piece, the it slides upwards off a hook at the top to release; you also need to unhook the seatbelt from the loop at the top. Then the centre piece is weird. You need to release/fold the seats forward with the tab in the boot on each side From there, there are 2,x12mm headed bolts holding the rear of each seat to the folding bracket, under the trim between the rear seat and the boot (4x christmas tree clips there, they suck). The seat is out but you can see where the bolts attach to the bracket
    • As discussed in the previous post, the bushes in the 110 needed replacing. I took this opportunity to replace the castor bushes, the front lower control arm, lower the car and get the alignment dialled in with new tyres. I took it down to Alignment Motorsports on the GC to get this work done and also get more out of the Shockworks as I felt like I wasn't getting the full use out of them.  To cut a very long story short, it ended up being the case the passenger side castor arm wouldn't accept the brand new bush as the sleeve had worn badly enough to the point you could push the new bush in by hand and completely through. Trying a pair of TRD bushes didn't fix the issue either (I had originally gone with Hardrace bushes). We needed to urgently source another castor arm, and thankfully this was sourced and the guys at the shop worked on my car until 7pm on a Saturday to get everything done. The car rides a lot nicer now with the suspension dialled in properly. Lowered the car a little as well to suit the lower profile front tyres, and just bring the car down generally. Eternally thankful for the guys down at the shop to get the car sorted, we both pulled big favours from our contacts to get it done on the Saturday.  Also plugged in the new Stedi foglights into the S15, and even from a quick test in the garage I'm keen to see how they look out on the road. I had some concerns about the length of the LED body and whether it'd fit in the foglight housing but it's fine.  I've got a small window coming up next month where I'll likely get a little paint work done on the 110 to remove the rear wing, add a boot wing and roof wing, get the side skirt fixed up and colour match the little panel on the tail lights so that I can install some badges that I've kept in storage. I'm also tempted to put in a new pair of headlights on the 110.  Until then, here's some more pictures from Easter this year. 
    • I would put a fuel pressure gauge between the filter and the fuel rail, see if it's maintaining good fuel pressure at idle going up to the point when it stalls. Do you see any strange behavior in commanded fuel leading up to the point when it stalls? You might have to start going through the service manual and doing a long list of sensor tests if it's not the fuel system for whatever reason.
