There are a lot of crazy drivers out there and the slightest thing ticks them off. I once “apparently” cut someone off while overtaking them… so he speed past me, gets back into my lane and literally stands on the brakes. He was driving one of those old beat up commodores with no abs and there was smoke everywhere. He stops in the middle of the road and blocks a whole lane, so I change lanes and drive past him and give him a stare. He ends up following me for the next 3-4 minutes driving like a real hoon and almost loses it around a roundabout. All I saw was smoke in the rear view mirror. I was pretty close to work and didn’t want him knowing where I work so I eventually stop and put my window down & he gets out and starts abusing me. I lose him at the next intersection, but was definitely a scary moment. I always drive really careful around old commodores now especially if they look like they’re modified or there’s a young guy at the wheel.

had an idiot cutting all through traffic yesterday......he cut me off...i sorta raised my hand and just shook my head....but realised, its no point....the guy was doing it to everyone - eventually he will get beaten up....so meh....

wasnt in my skyline either so wasnt that worried...i figure if he crashed into my civic, i will get more back from insurance....than selling it

I was coming home from work one afternoon travelling on the highway so doing the speed limit and there was a vt commodore (nothing against commodore drivers) cutting in and out of the traffic for about 3-4 kms. There were two cars in front a ute with a country looking guy behind the wheel he sorta looked like troy dan and also a ladie in a bmw in front of him.

Im not actually sure weather he clipped her or just cut her off but all of a sudden the traffic come to a complete stop everyone had locked up there brakes in the right lane, this was 5 in the afternoon so the traffic was quite heavy on the bruce highway and troy dan jumped out and went up and asked if the ladie was ok. so the guy driving the commodore hopped out of his car, when he approached troy dan and the lady, troy dan threw a punch at the commodore guy, he ended up chasing him about a 100 metres down the grassy strip in the middle of the highway trying to lay into him while there cars were parked in the right lane of the highway this went of for a good 5 to 10 minutes traffic was backed up for ages, anyway the guy in the commodore bolted back to his car and took off.

Its something you dont see everyday, i found it pretty funny, you just dont know what some people will do.

    • Oh, also, forgot to add these photos I believe.
    • Thought i'd update on this. I was able to get in contact with Craig Lieberman and later on Darryl Alison (owner of Kaizo Industries). Darryl was able to help me verify that my car was in fact one of theirs and is helping me find more info on mine !
    • There's restrictor pills in the stock boost control hoses. That's how they set the amount that was bled off and hence the "high" boost setting. The usual mod in the day was to remove it and send the "high" boost setting up to about 14 psi.
    • Thanks Duncan, that's the best info I've read. Furthermore after learning about the PCM programming side controlling the factory boost solenoid, the purpose of the solenoid is to "bleed" boost when pin 25 is earthed, thus allowing spring pressure in the wastegate actuator to overcome diaphragm boost pressure, thus closing or reducing the position of the wastegate flap creating more boost as the turbo is able to spin faster. It's pretty cool to see a designated Pill to do exactly this, would have liked to have seen it with a tiny filter over the end for those moments in vacuum.  The constant bleed pill has now been removed completely from the system and solenoid boost control has been restored once again.   Case closed 😂
    • The wideband reading is meaningless if it's not running. Why are you using shitty old sidefeeds on any engine, let alone a Neo? What manifold and fuel rail are you using to achieve that? Beyond that, can't help you with AEM stuff as I've never been their ECU/CAS combo.
