Im not going to get into a post tag over this. We just disagree. You have your views, i have mine...only mine are right :P

And we do need an officer for every head of population. Thats why deputising any Joe off the streets would be a great idea. That way every one of us can dob someone else in and they can dob us in. Because god knows idiots that drive like tools on the street get caught once and thats the end of it. None of them are repeat offenders, or have made the same honest mistake more then once

I think you need to get over this whole "deputising" thing.

Why would anyone need to be "deputised" to report crime?

If you witness someone being forced off the road by another vehicle, or if you see a child get run down in the street and the driver speeds off, you're largely lacking in basic common sense, good judgement, compassion and any regard for fellow human beings who become victims while going about their every day life.

If you're adamant that your views on this are right, you'd better go off and campaign to have Crime Stoppers shut down.

lol i have to admit i do love living in endeavour hills... see so many fark tards write themselves off because of the highway and general types of people that live around here...

like one tool the other day who smashed up the front of his black R33 on heatherton road near the power rd intersection. Another tool going through a fence and into a tree on amalfi drive and another one just down from there doing the same...

seriously...

There's a name for that, it's called road rage. :D

You have GOT to be kidding me.

Who are you to define what is and what is not "road rage"

simple telling someone they have done something wrong is not rage at all.

Its probaly as far from it as you can get.

Dont just blanket label things because thats how you want it to be

Poiter - i concur

Ash, I've never seen two drivers have a "friendly chat" about what someone may or may not have done wrong. :woot:

Sounds like inark has some idea of the ridiculous things that happen around here.

There are so many "automotive news" stories that I'd love to share, but most are pending cases and/or could be considered offensive, so they're best kept off the board. :ninja:

..anyway, back to the happier news :laugh:

4WD track at Sandown sounds like a good thing. :sorcerer:

Little update for the week, no more in relation to Sandown yet, just a couple more stacks involving people getting trapped in vehicles.

I hope all the people who constantly complain about traffic laws being too harsh are starting to absorb some of this material.

This really is a major concern, Victoria is facing its highest fire risk ever, and instead of being on stand-by to attend fires, the fire crews are out peeling cars off people.

I understand that part of their job is resuce work, but if fire crews are unable to attend fires due to peoples inability to drive safely, many more lives (as well as homes and businesses) are put at risk.

      Who has a Infiniti Q60, Q50 (V37)?

      By Duncan · Posted

      The ATTESSA is functionally identical to R34; there were a bunch of JDM models that continued ATTESSA including Fuga/Q70, Skyline/Q50, Cima etc as an option. All with Auto only and I think mostly for snow regions. AFAIK there were no AWD VR30DDTT sold in Australia - it is on my to do list to check regs for racing a LHD car in Targa/ATR/AASA/CAMS events because if I can get the auto to work it would be interesting to run a 4wd car The Ecuteck TCM tuning is the same model as their ECU tuning, they already have it for R35 and Dose's favourite, BMW. You buy "points" to allow your computer to be tuned, buy either a bluetooth (phone app) or bluetooth+USB+Key (phone and PC) dongle, and pay for a tune that will be locked to your tuner ( ). You can also access the tuning software yourself but 1. it is mega expensive and 2. these computers have a billion parameters that intersect, so how could you ever spend enough time on it to get a decent result.

      Or, is it a case of what it is like owning an R series Skyline? NFI what the previous owner has done or fiddled with... Ha ha ha After reading through this thread, I went on a bit of a research about the Q50/Q60. Now I'm quite intrigued by them! Is the AWD in them more like a WRX where it's always AWD, or is it more like the ATTESSA in the GTRs? By the sound of this TCU tuning, this sounds like a case of someone has made some real software for it, and you just need the right piece of hardware, and then you license that specific vehicle/TCU. Or is this a case of the software will be really expensive so only a few tuners have it, and you still have to pay a license per vehicle?

      R34 25GT Engine Light 21

      By CF.Panda · Posted

      By popular demand.. it was a coil. Got my hands on 1 new OEM coil, replaced with the one that made the less noise difference when I unplugged it while the car was running and started the car up. No stutter and the engine light was gone. I guess I’ll buy the other 5 they have lol

      No, code 21 is very straightforward. It can only be the things described in that diagnostic flow. In fact it has no way of knowing that the spark plug resistance is out of spec.

      Leak from Tokico BM50 Brake Master Cylinder

      By brillo · Posted

      Hi, SteveL Thank you very much for your reply, you seem to be the only person on the net who has come up with a definitive answer for which I am grateful. The "Leak" was more by way of wet bubbles when the pedal was depressed hard by a buddy while trying to gey a decent pedal when bleeding the system having fitted the rebuilt BM50 back in the car, which now makes perfect sense. A bit of a shame having just rebuilt my BM50, I did not touch the proportioning valve side of things, the BM50 was leaking from the primary piston seal and fluid was running down the the Brake booster hence the need to rebuild, I had never noticed any fluid leaking from that hole previously it only started when I refitted it to the car. The brake lines in the photo are "Kunifer" which is a Copper/Nickel alloy brake pipe, but are only the ones I use to bench bleed Master cylinders, they are perfectly legal to use on vehicles here in the UK, however the lines on the car are PVF coated steel. Thanks again for clearing this up for me, a purchase of a new BMC appears to be on the cards, I have been looking at various options in case my BM50 was not repairable and have looked at the HFM BM57 which I understand is manufactured in Australia.
