Ok

driving to work this week in my skyline i am finding that people are very rude when it comes to letting you in and cutting you off by being smart asses. In the last 2 years i have owned an xr6 turbo and xr8 but had non of this problem.

What i want to know is what why do they do it to people who drive imports, i had the same problem with my 32 gtst and WRX. You see on the news and Today toight about hoons well how about the people whop are true car enthuists who get abused just for driving normal

Ahhhhhhh that feels better

Does anyone else have this problem

haha well an example was a clown in a 206gti this morning, he was driving normal until i went past him in peak hour doing 20kph and then as soonas he saw me he startyed driving like a tool driving up my arse, overtaking and cutting in

i see this alot everyday

Lots of rude people in Sydney generally. Twice since I've lived here I have stopped for a red light and a car behind me in my lane has decided there is enough green left in it to scream around me and through the intersection, or in one case, just to line up in the intersection blocking all the traffic going in other directions.

Often on my motorbike I am pootling along at about 40km/h through traffic doing about 10km/h and they see me coming and move over so I can't fit through. One time a guy in a 4wd actually tried to knock me off the road deliberately.

I don't let people in if they overtake 1-8 cars in a lane that doesn't go anywhere then try to jam back in the lane they were in but if the lane is naturally ending I always make room.

What about in the city when pedestrians just walk across the road against a red man and expect you to just wait?

i hate the ppl that speed up after you overtake them ..

always get them on the way to work on epping road, I overtake some one, get back in the left lane then they speed up again get past me go back to the left lane then slow down again. Then there are the f**kers who stay in the right lane when going slow that shits me to tears

the one i love the most is when ur doing 60/70kph on a straight stretch and some retard pulls out from a side street doing 0.5kph.

thats the best

one time at leichardt (retard central) i pulled up to reverse into a parking space, (blinker on, slowed down to signal my intent as i approached the space), and the ever so thoughtful bus driver pulls up about 3 inches from my bumper. traffic backed up behind him. needless to say, i thanked him ALOT.

sydney bus driver rock :( almost as good as the cabbies

except for slow drivers (40 in a 60 zone is slow) i dont really find any of this... but im always curtious and letting other people in...

although, yesterday... trying to turn off a main road, there was a lady infront of me, first in the line... there were 3 obviously large gaps, and then a massive gap where the lights had turned red... and i dont mean big for a sports car, i mean big BIG! gaps... i gave her a toot on the first one, gave her a longer toot on the second one... then realising she has her inside light on, leaning over to the passanger side, doing god knows what, (it looked like she was putting a bra on) i just let her do her thing... i was second in line, so it didn't bother me that much...

but it was rediculously selfish...

other then that, i dont have many complaints... cept for victorian drivers... ALL slow... and queensland drivers indicate whenever the f**k they feel like it...

I hate it when your in two lanes that merge into one, you let someone in and then some tool comes screaming up that same lane and tries to push in front of you and gets the sh!ts when no one wants to let them in..... grrrr.....

and people who can't seem to stay in thier own lane - especially going around/thru roundabouts..... how many lanes do you bloody need??? If they were driving a sherman tank I'd understand.......

I am sooo over sydney drivers and how rude they are especially when they wont let you in.

Remember if they make contact with the FRONT of their car to anywhere from your front door back its there fault and we dont pay shitloads in insurance money for nothing. EVEN if you change lanes without indicating very fast at the end of the day the insurance companys go by that rule.

Still waiting to get my free paint job sucks its taking soo long.. they allways decide to let you in when you go for it anyway.

Yeah a lot of sydney drivers are just plain idiots. I've pretty much had enough of them. If they do overtake 20 cars and wants to cut in front of me don't bother I'll close the gap and make them stop. If there's someone tail gating me, I'll just go slower and slower until I they get annoyed and f**k off.

people not letting you in is ok, i can deal with that. but too many people change lanes without blinkers or think they dont need to show you where they are going from the roundabouts... how many times have you waited for a car on your right at a roundabout only to find them turn left and you shouldnt have had to wait... at least they face straight at my finger as they get off the 'bout

When I drive my car (I drive mostly western suburbs and north sydney) Ussually find that people make way for my car, otherwise I use it like a truck does anyway.. Im always letting people in pisses me off to no end when there is clearly heaps of space for them to merge yet they decide to brake n piss around until finally decide to roll into my lane by this time ive launched it and i have to jump on the anchors..

So yeah people drive like dicks in sydney but victoria has to have the worst drivers ever, most are drunk and the road isnt prop setup with signs so people drive all over the place. and dont let you merge, aggressive and then they come to sydney and do 40 in a 60 zone

Aaaaarghh.. I hate Sydney and generally NSW drivers in general.

I drive the F3 everyday and the amount of idiots I see tailgating, sitting in the right hand lane doing 30km/h under the limit with 2 free lanes to the left of them, cutting off trucks to get that one spot in front of everyone, speeding up whe you are overtaking cause they are driving slowly, etc etc etc

Best one by far is the damn P platers that pass me at about 140km/h I am guessing..... then realise that there is a speed trap up/traffic jam up ahead and cut me off sending me mm's from the rock wall :laugh:

when driving the line or the wrx I always get the wankers that just have to overtake you cause you drive a import or a turbo etc..... doesn't matter if there is room or not to overtake.. they do it at all costs :D

Yep, thats f**king annoying. Every night coming home from work I get that, every little shitbox with red P's and a full car of dickheads revs the shit out of the car to keep up with me as I take off normally..

But you cant forget the fully sick import drivers who think every red light is the start of the next race..

Soooo true.... although around the coast its generally riced up lancers/excels/bogandores that are the red light racers :D

sorry mate, i didn't mean to harrass yas.

these import rice rockets running around makes me sick.

get a real car, moit. v8.

i reckon it all depends the way you drive, correct me if im wrong

i know pretty much everyone likes to drive with their windows down, elbow out, even though its -30 degrees..then ppl

around you thinks that you are a typically hoon?.. then again plus we are in a skyline too..

and yeah ppl tend to tailgate me heaps, especially at night!

inccident today, i was driving back from parra, stopped at a set of lights, this falcon stop just a inch behind my ass, lights turns to green, i took off normal, then the falcon was up

my ass for like 30 sec then decided to over take, revving it to the shit house and looks at me..im like wtf relax dude

and people who can't seem to stay in thier own lane - especially going around/thru roundabouts..... how many lanes do you bloody need??? If they were driving a sherman tank I'd understand.......

yes this pisses me off. anytime I'm going around a corner side by side with another car (especially if they are on the outside) they love to cut into my lane. i mean WTF? if you can't drive around within a lane that is 1.5 times the width of your car then you shouldn't be driving. I get sick and tired of having to avoid other peoples stupid driving just so I don't even up in an accident.

I personally haven't found the drivers in victoria to be that bad. in fact on the whole I'd say they are better. the drivers in japan are even better still. far more courteous, and they don't mind a bit of speed either. last time I was driving back from fuji speedway to tokyo I was pushing on at about 140 or so pretty much the whole way and most cars were doing between 110 and 140... and this was an 80kmh zone! (but it's a big wide freeway, i have nfi why it's marked 80km). and they will always let you in. and when you let someone in your lane you will always receive a little thankyou flash. :D

    • This. As for your options - I suggest remote mounting the Nissan sensor further away on a length of steel tube. That tube to have a loop in it to handle vibration, etc etc. You will need to either put a tee and a bleed fitting near the sensor, or crack the fitting at the sensor to bleed it full of oil when you first set it up, otherwise you won't get the line filled. But this is a small problem. Just needs enough access to get it done.
    • The time is always correct. Only the date is wrong. It currently thinks it is January 19. Tomorrow it will say it is January 20. The date and time are ( should be ! ) retrieved from the GPS navigation system.
    • Buy yourself a set of easy outs. See if they will get a good bite in and unthread it.   Very very lucky the whole sender didn't let go while on the track and cost you a motor!
    • Well GTSBoy, prepare yourself further. I did a track day with 1/2 a day prep on Friday, inpromptu. The good news is that I got home, and didn't drive the car into a wall. Everything seemed mostly okay. The car was even a little faster than it was last time. I also got to get some good datalog data too. I also noticed a tiny bit of knock which was (luckily?) recorded. All I know is the knock sensors got recalibrated.... and are notorious for false knock. So I don't know if they are too sensitive, not sensitive enough... or some other third option. But I reduced timing anyway. It wasn't every pull through the session either. Think along the lines of -1 degree of timing for say, three instances while at the top of 4th in a 20 minute all-hot-lap session. Unfortunately at the end of session 2... I noticed a little oil. I borrowed some jack stands and a jack and took a look under there, but as is often the case, messing around with it kinda half cleaned it up, it was not conclusive where it was coming from. I decided to give it another go and see how it was. The amount of oil was maybe one/two small drops. I did another 20 minute session and car went well, and I was just starting to get into it and not be terrified of driving on track. I pulled over and checked in the pits and saw this: This is where I called it, packed up and went home as I live ~20 min from the track with a VERY VERY CLOSE EYE on Oil Pressure on the way home. The volume wasn't much but you never know. I checked it today when I had my own space/tools/time to find out what was going on, wanted to clean it up, run the car and see if any of the fittings from around the oil filter were causing it. I have like.. 5 fittings there, so I suspected one was (hopefully?) the culprit. It became immediately apparent as soon as I looked around more closely. 795d266d-a034-4b8c-89c9-d83860f5d00a.mp4       This is the R34 GTT oil sender connected via an adapter to an oil cooler block I have installed which runs AN lines to my cooler (and back). There's also an oil temp sensor on top.  Just after that video, I attempted to unthread the sensor to see if it's loose/worn and it disintegrated in my hand. So yes. I am glad I noticed that oil because it would appear that complete and utter catastrophic engine failure was about 1 second of engine runtime away. I did try to drill the fitting out, and only succeeded in drilling the middle hole much larger and now there's a... smooth hole in there with what looks like a damn sleeve still incredibly tight in there. Not really sure how to proceed from here. My options: 1) Find someone who can remove the stuck fitting, and use a steel adapter so it won't fatigue? (Female BSPT for the R34 sender to 1/8NPT male - HARD to find). IF it isn't possible to remove - Buy a new block ($320) and have someone tap a new 1/8NPT in the top of it ($????) and hope the steel adapter works better. 2) Buy a new block and give up on the OEM pressure sender for the dash entirely, and use the supplied 1/8 NPT for the oil temp sender. Having the oil pressure read 0 in the dash with the warning lamp will give me a lot of anxiety driving around. I do have the actual GM sensor/sender working, but it needs OBD2 as a gauge. If I'm datalogging I don't actually have a readout of what the gauge is currently displaying. 3) Other? Find a new location for the OEM sender? Though I don't know of anywhere that will work. I also don't know if a steel adapter is actually functionally smart here. It's clearly leveraged itself through vibration of the motor and snapped in half. This doesn't seem like a setup a smart person would replicate given the weight of the OEM sender. Still pretty happy being lucky for once and seeing this at the absolute last moment before bye bye motor in a big way, even if an adapter is apparently 6 weeks+ delivery and I have no way to free the current stuck/potentially destroyed threads in the current oil block.
