i think the stats are over 50% of pedestrian deaths have alchohol in their system.  

sympathy for this: 0%

You're right, if you're majorly mashed and step out in front of a car you're askin for trouble. BUT

Does that 50% include people who have had 2 light beers in a 3 hour period?? Still no sympathy?? Of those people with alcohol in their system, how many were hit by speeding vehicles? Making a judgement on simple bullshit stats like the one above does not mean anything.

I would say no sympathy for the driver who hits the pedestrian while speeding.

Interesting subject!

Have you guys seen the way the police and ambulances fly down a very crowded chapel st on a friday or saturday night? Very stupid indeed - its only a matter of time before they hit [or worse kill] someone imo. A marked car did it tonight, he was cruising down the middle of the road with lights & siren on doing approx 50/60 km/h then he plants the foot and the V8 engine came alive - I witnessed several pedestrians run for cover, very silly indeed.

Also moments later an unmarked police car [silver VT / VX commodore V8] pulled up a camry [right in front of where I was sitting] for something and blocked half the traffic from getting past - even the tram driver was dinging his bell. I forgot to mention the best part, in the 10-15mins he was "doing his job" his flashing lights were not even on! [did have hazards flashing though - not good enough I say] And the same cop actually shoved his way through the traffic to do a u-turn without using his flashing lights - and would you believe people actually moved for him [remember an unmarked car with no visual sign of being Police, could have been a security guard that wears similar shirt etc imo] - a Black supra even reversed to get out of his way ~ I wouldnt have. AFAIK they must have their lights ON and most cases siren too if in pursuit, let alone a street FULL of cars & people traffic. After u-turn was completed then he baulk around 2 cars like some slalom event THEN finally hits the flashing lights and siren and punches it into hyperspeed! - again not good enough imo.

Hopefully the authorities are reading THIS post!

Yes, there is still more [this one is fairly minor but for the ricers out there, this may get your back up]. A marked Divisional van indicating to turn left from a side st on to chapel was actually emmitting a WHITE colored indicator from the rear! Surely WHITE is only allowed for reverse lights at the back of a car? It looked as thought the lens was broken - thus an un-roadworthy vehicle hmm

All of this over just one latte :D

*shrugs*

Yes, shocking. I say we gather a register of license plates, times, places, and the events we see. Maybe reporting by reporting them something will be done. I know they protect their own but still, those higher up wouldn't like to see their officers doing this sort of thing.

    • Hi There I went through a rabbit hole of reading about Xenon headlights and the ADR regulations for having them installed. As people have been defected by running factory xenon I was researching in ways to make them compliant. Everyone always say needs to be self leveling and have washer installed, which I don't necessarily agree with. For this argument I'm using R34 as reference as I'm more aware on the construction of the headlight compared to the R33 Xenon, which may still be the exact same case.   For the self leveling clause taken from ADR 13 - Installation of Lighting and Light Signalling Devices on other than L-Group Vehicles As you can see the bold text "these manually adjustable devices from driver seats" are fine to use. As Series 1 Xenon model headlights do have a 4 level adjuster on the right near the ignition (however not series 2) then these model are consider compliant in that argument.   For the Self Cleaning aspect of this argument clause taken from ADR 13 - Installation of Lighting and Light Signalling Devices on other than L-Group Vehicles Now i can understand the argument that Xenon will need a washer as they are over 2000 lumens, but I clicked on the 12 at the end of that sentence and it takes me to the end notes which states R34 for headlight lenses are plastic, not sure if PL is mark as I don't currently have my skyline to confirm that marking is there. But could you not technically get a lenses with the PL marking on it and then get away with the argument that you need a washer. I went through a quick read of the adr and might have missed something else that may cause them to be non-complaint.    But wouldn't these technically be complaint headlights   Would love to hear other people input on this and shed some light   Edit In regard to the the washer portion I might be mistaken ADR 45 (which I believe is Regulation NO.45) states 12 cd (candela) I dont understand that portion in regarding to calculating the candela if anyone can shed some light. Otherwise I guess throw in a washer for the headlight and you definitely comply.
    • Took it to all Japan day, flogged the hell out of it and took it all, am a very very happy man  don’t know how that ended up in Greg’s thread before
    • Hey Nismo, any chance in the world you still have these seats?
    • I'd say closer to OG GTX3582R, just smaller trim - so 59mm inducer/82mm exducer as opposed to 62/82 for the first gen GTX3582R. Yeah EFRs were boss, the EFR8474 is still an absolute beast and it perplexes me that people still go to things like Turbosmart/Garrett etc when the results people are getting with those are pretty unremarkable compared to what you could get with a turbo available well before those options came out.  DriftSquid (I think) "upgraded" from an EFR9174 to a Turbosmart turbo and promised a comparison video - and kinda shuffled awkwardly and did a bit of diversion from the fact that they didn't get any improvement going to the currently massively hyped brand of turbo from a turbo that was a bit of a frankenstein that had been well superceded in it's own range before the Turbosmart unit he put on there even came out. I suspect the EFR would outperform most Xonas for what a lot of less-insane RB owners would go for, in the 400-600kw range but the Xonas are looking hard to beat up to maybe in the mid 700kw range at this stage- basically where EFRs don't really reach, and before the Precision turbos take over.  What the Xonas do well in the "EFR range" is be easier to package etc, and work very well if a divided housing doesn't suit your application.
