well I picked up my R33 yesterday and loving every minute of it today on my way to work driving up high street from stud road and came to the red lights at corner of catheys lane and high street. I was in the far right lane heading up towards glen Waverley and the lane next to me was for turning right onto catheys lane. Now road work was going on as usual so there were traffic cones on my right side with enough gap for a small car to fit through. Looked in my mirror and noticed a green EL falcon coming down. Next thing I see is she indicates to turn right and not slowing down at all tries to squeeze in but instead side swipes my car. Drive of after her exchanged details. she on the other hand was proud and said "gee that’s pretty good huh only some scrapage not fender bender"

all I could do to that was give her a blank look while picturing me strangling her lol

well called up insurance company and they will sort things out. She wasn’t insured so got a written statement from her along with all her license details.

Damage to my car is right rear quarter panel has scrapage from where the bar starts to the start of the driver’s door.

Accidents do happen but it shows how careless some people are on the roads.

Thanks for listening/reading

Ash

How hard was it not to crack her in the nose?

lol was pretty hard. surprisingly i didnt even lose my temper. think seeing the kid in her car calmed me down and didnt wanna yell at her in front of the kid

and chanz in due time my friend.

Yeah i seen similar things happen while i was in melb. Was working up ther n was on way home. Was slowing down for the lights at this intersection and wanted to go straight. The right turning lane was empty and the guy behind me just slowed down behind me blocking access for any car to get into that right lane untill we moved on. This dumb B!tch came racing up behind this guy behind me, wanting to get into that right turning lane and thinking that he was going to keep moving but when he stopped she ran outta road and hit him.

Just another dumb ass trying to push in and impatient.

Oh and just this last wkend i when everyone was coming back from school holidays etc i saw some pretty average driving. I nearly had a couple of accidents due to other tossers on the road.

- Was cut off when some ass wanted to overtake me right at the end of a overtaking lane where it merged back in. Had to brake hard to avoid accident and while watchin & trying to avoid hitting this person i failed to see a dead wallaby on the road (was nite time) and ran over the bastard.

- Came round this corner @100km/h only to be greeted by another dick coming towards me on my side of the road. Lucky for me they had a good sealed sholder and i was able to dodge that one.

- When stuck in a pack of 20+ cars on a normal road i was amazed that people still risked there lives and the lives of others on the road just to gain that much needed one or two places up the line of cars. Note: cars already doing ~100km/h.

i still made it to the same place at the same time as these people staying in the pack.

I could see oncoming traffic having to brake and move off the road to aavoid accidents.

I live in the country and this is quite a regular occurance.

what is it with some (in these cases) women who will tailgate and weave in and out of lanes to get that little bit ahead?....my guess is because they are always running late...you know chicks who are never on time etc...

i see this b1tch in a dark blue excel with dark tints seemingly every other day driving to work, super tailgating & weaving only to have me repass her because the dumb cow is in the slow lane at the next set of lights...lights go green and she starts all over again, a few k's down the road and what do you know? she's made a whole 2 cars ahead of me after seriously risky driving especially in the wet like today :whistling:

not bad looking tho :ph34r:

(not stereotyping women but it just seems that they are the ones i always see)

lol Ash, I was jokingly saying that I hope you don't dmg that car soon....ah well bad luck man, im shocked lol, dont you dare post pics up, ill be upset. lol.

lol dude i was thinking to myself how would you feel knowing that i just got it of your hands yesterday and now this. but hey atleast it wasnt my fault lol

but ye i hope she does pay out.

what will happen though? like i got her drivers licence details and did re-check em to make sure its all correct, got rego and a statement written by her admiting her fault and got her to sign it. i told my insurance company (justcars) about it and they told me that they will sort it out. basically they bill her for my excess. so does my car get fixed while they are sorting it out or they will have to wait till my excess is paid first by her and then my car gets fixed?

    • Hi, is the HKS  Tower Bar still available ? negotiable ? 🤔
    • From there, it is really just test and assemble. Plug the adapter cables from the unit into the back of the screen, then the other side to the car harness. Don't forget all the other plugs too! Run the cables behind the unit and screw it back into place (4 screws) and you should now have 3 cables to run from the top screen to the android unit. I ran them along the DS of the other AV units in the gap between their backets and the console, and used some corrugated tubing on the sharp edges of the bracket so the wires were safe. Plug the centre console and lower screen in temporarily and turn the car to ACC, the AV should fire up as normal. Hold the back button for 3 sec and Android should appear on the top screen. You need to set the input to Aux for audio (more on that later). I put the unit under the AC duct in the centre console, with the wifi antenna on top of the AC duct near the shifter, the bluetooth antenna on the AC duct under the centre console The GPS unit on top of the DS to AC duct; they all seem to work OK there are are out of the way. Neat cable routing is a pain. For the drive recorder I mounted it near the rear view mirror and run the cable in the headlining, across the a pillar and then down the inside of the a pillar seal to the DS lower dash. From there it goes across and to one USB input for the unit. The second USB input is attached to the ECUtec OBD dongle and the 3rd goes to the USB bulkhead connected I added in the centre console. This is how the centre console looks "tidied" up Note I didn't install the provided speaker, didn't use the 2.5mm IPod in line or the piggyback loom for the Ipod or change any DIP switches; they seem to only be required if you need to use the Ipod input rather than the AUX input. That's it, install done, I'll follow up with a separate post on how the unit works, but in summary it retains all factory functions and inputs (so I still use my phone to the car for calls), reverse still works like factory etc.
    • Place the new daughterboard in the case and mount it using the 3 small black rivets provided, and reconnect the 3 factory ribbon cables to the new board Then, use the 3 piggyback cables from the daughterboard into the factory board on top (there are stand offs in the case to keep them apart. and remember to reconnect the antenna and rear cover fan wires. 1 screw to hold the motherboard in place. Before closing the case, make a hole in the sticker covering a hole in the case and run the cable for the android unit into the plug there. The video forgot this step, so did I, so will you probably. Then redo the 4 screws on back, 2 each top and bottom, 3 each side and put the 2 brackets back on.....all ready to go and not that tricky really.      
    • Onto the android unit. You need to remove the top screen because there is a daughterboard to put inside the case. Each side vent pops out from clips; start at the bottom and carefully remove upwards (use a trim remover tool to avoid breaking anything). Then the lower screen and controls come out, 4 screws, a couple of clips (including 3 flimsy ones at the top) and 3 plugs on the rear. Then the upper screen, 4 screws and a bunch of plugs and she is out. From there, remove the mounting brackets (2 screws each), 4 screws on the rear, 2 screws top and bottom and 3 screws holding in the small plates on each side. When you remove the back cover (tight fit), watch out for the power cable for the fan, I removed it so I could put the back aside. The mainboard is held in by 1 screw in the middle, 1 aerial at the top and 3 ribbon cables. If you've ever done any laptop stuff the ribbon cables are OK to work with, just pop up the retainer and they slide out. If you are not familiar just grab a 12 year old from an iphone factory, they will know how it works The case should now look like this:
    • Switching the console was tricky. First there were 6 screws to remove, and also the little adapter loom and its screws had to come out. Also don't forget to remove the 2 screws holding the central locking receiver. Then there are 4 clips on either side....these were very tight in this case and needed careful persuading with a long flat screw driver....some force required but not enough to break them...this was probably the fiddliest part of the whole job. In my case I needed both the wiring loom and the central locking receiver module to swap across to the new one. That was it for the console, so "assembly is the reverse of disassembly"
