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.

    • Given you're running a 2.8 and my 2.5 is not really like for like, I suspect there could be a bit more timing you could give it. What is the kW yield per degree you're putting through it? Here's my E85 map to give you an idea, where it was I could still get another 3~4kW per degree thrown at it.  
    • It turns out that Setrab make a fan specifically for the oil cooler which is great and I've installed it with minimal swearing. I removed my 2x 12in push fans from the front of my aircon condenser and wired them into this. My main thermo fans kick on when I use the aircon anyway and would effectively already be working as puller fans through the condensor which is infront of the rad. The push fans (understandably) didn't really do much in the config they were previously in so now they're out. Now we're on to the "Oil fan doesn't really do much either!". Yes I'll duct it next if it does nothing in heavy use which it shouldn't. But hey, the object exists and fits great and is cool. Let me have this. The car is still in the "do my fittings leak oil now? do my wheels actually rub?" phase. I did a spirited drive on them and didn't hear or feel anything. Then I got back home and noticed there were grind marks on the inside of the rims, though I couldn't see where they were touching I got out the grinder and attacked the suspects. Note: I do not know how to use a grinder. Then I realised I had dragged my new rims across my concrete driveway before I did this drive. I didn't think I had damage at that time when I briefly looked...... but remembered this occurred after I did all the angle grinding. The grinding on the wheels in some very specific spots. It's not around the whole rim for example, which lines up with dragging it across concrete more than hitting a suspension component for even 1 full rotation. So everything is currently painted and taped up and I need to test it some more to see if it really IS rubbing, but from inside the car it doesn't feel like it is. In other news I attempted to do a before and after comparison of the heads/cam upgrade thing. Dynos lie, everything is in different measurements. Here is the data from the sandown back straight. Car go faster than before. Vroom vroom.
    • Here's my base ignition. +3 correction to redline when shooting water/meth which is always on. Looking at my old ignition table, I should be able to add 1-2 degree's next time I'm on the dyno.  Let me know your thoughts. 
    • Given what I know now - same haha, but this was 12 years ago with second hand 740cc Nismo injectors in my S15 daily, I was too busy hunting elsewhere for the issue to even look at the injectors, running through some cleaner was a happy coincidence haha
    • Not a terrible idea. But if I ever had concerns that my injectors were sufficiently dirty to be causing me a problem, they would be out of the engine and onto the actual injector cleaner/testing bench.
