Hi guys!

Ok, I was the recipient of road rage this morning after I merged into someone's lane. Nothing wrong, except he sped up to try and block me from his lane, but he was too far behind and by the time he caught up, I was already in the lane so he slammed on his brakes.

Next thing I know, he's on the horn, gesturing to me like he's a fcuking 9 y.o whinging about pulling his thumb out his ass. But the thing that gets me, is I see in the rear view mirror he pulls out a fcuking camera and starts taking photo's of my number plate!

I'm normally cool as, but that made me think "WTF!?" and I drove so that I'd come up to a set of lights and then got out and went to his car and took photo's. Only had my camera phone with me but...guess what? The camera didn't record the image!! :dry:

I can't stand these fcukwits who want to carry on and all the rest of it in their car and when I went up to him, he just say's I'm with the RTA! and winds his windows up like a hurricane. You tell them to step up but they just dry up. :)

Anyway, what I wanted to ask you my friends is has this guy who works at the RTA got anything he can get me on? Nothing eventuated altough I would've loved to have sorted him out.

Cheers!

personally, i wouldn't worry about it, just let it go

it's his word against yours

so he took a pic of your number plate, what's he going to do??

the fact that you got out of the car and challenged him was pretty silly IMO. for all you know, he could of had a weapon etc.

i can understand your pissed off tho, road rage is getting worse.

when i was on the freeway driving back from texikhana on the weekend, i was overtaking a corolla probably doin 100km/h, i was doing smack on 110km/h (the posted speed limit), so i was gradually overtaking him. but some fool in a jacked up landcruiser tailgates me from behind (about one car length) as i'm in the middle of overtaking him, and starts flashing his high beams and beaping me because in his mind i'm not overtaking fast enough. when i'm done overtaking the corolla, the landcruiser overtakes me by cutting right in front of me, and i almost locked up at 110km/h.

i was still angry about it when i got home, so i went and played scarface on ps2 and blew up drug dealers, my anger was displaced constructively :sorcerer:

You shoulda said you are a deep under cover AFP agent.

or maybe put out your pinky and dangled it to him.

Hahah check out this guy

haha and DOSEME had this comment

Unbelievable! As if doing burnouts and skids isn't stupid enough, this idiot was attempting (and succeding) to get his car airborne on a steep decline. He thinks he is really cool with his noisey car, but he will come a cropper one day

This hoon was doing wheelies and spins and making a hell of a racket in the early morning when people are trying to sleep. Then he speeds up and down the street. His car makes very loud strange noises. I think there must be something wrong with it. It sounds like there is a 20ft pidgeon outside. NOT IMPRESSED!

I Believe that would be a BOV mate lol pidgeon hey

That's a funny comment by the random..

but what's funnier id you saying the sound is the bov.. :laughing-smiley-014:

some people have very little to do to pass the time.

There is even a complaint for people smoking in their cars?

Also this is gold

"I was shocked when i noticed a silver nissan s13 coupe passing me on the left, i counted 9 people piled into this car. I cannot understand how this was possible"

and the response . . .

"maybe they were clowns and they were late for the circus, you dont know the full story"

On my way to work this morning, was cruising along Homebush Bay Drive and came to the set of lights which you turn at to go to Lidcombe Station.

Beforehand, I had merged into the middle lane from the left lane, with a decent gap between me and the van behind in the middle lane.

Now, on approach to these lights, I had moved into the middle lane, and just as I do, the light goes yellow. At this point I'm too far away to make it through safely, but am far enough away to be able to apply the brakes slightly harder than normal and stop.

So I apply the brakes and come to a complete stop.

About 5 seconds later, this retard P plater in a Mitsubishi Express van felt it was necessary to come screaming up behind me, jam on his brakes, serve all over the lane and create a buttload of tyre smoke, and then honk his horn as if I was in the wrong.

Turned around and looked at him and he's sitting there with a dumbass look on his face as if to say "DUHRR WHY DID YOU DO THAT?!?!"

Rolled my eyes at him and booted it off the line and continued on my way to work.

that sucks man but thats when you get the old 2 piece club locks out and wave em around ull see how quickly they'll drive off :(

i had some wank flash me to move out of the way on the M4. it was a 3 lane road, 80km/h due to road works and no one else on the road not even in the middle and right lane. i was happily sitting on 80km/h and he comes screaming up my rear end flashing at me to move aside. f*ck that i stayed on 80 and he drove past giving me the dirtiest look. i caught up and stayed side by side. its funny watching a commodore or something try to get away from u and all u gotta do is tap the accelerator and ur on his side again with a nice flutter sound hehe.

You were in the left lane?

He wanted you to move out of the left lane? What a butthole.

    • Next on the to-do list was an oil and filter change. Nothing exciting to add here except the oil filter is in a really stupid place (facing the engine mount/subframe/steering rack). GReddy do a relocation kit which puts it towards the gearbox, I would have preferred towards the front but there's obviously a lot more stuff there. Something I'll have to look at for the next service perhaps. First time using Valvoline oil, although I can't see it being any different to most other brands Nice... The oil filter location... At least the subframe wont rust any time soon I picked up a genuine fuel filter, this is part of the fuel pump assembly inside the fuel tank. Access can be found underneath the rear seat, you'll see this triangular cover Remove the 3x plastic 10mm nuts and lift the cover up, pushing the rubber grommet through The yellow fuel line clips push out in opposite directions, remove these completely. The two moulded fuel lines can now pull upwards to disconnect, along with the wire electrical plug. There's 8x 8mm bolts that secure the black retaining ring. The fuel pump assembly is now ready to lift out. Be mindful of the fuel hose on the side, the hose clamp on mine was catching the hose preventing it from lifting up The fuel pump/filter has an upper and lower section held on by 4 pressure clips. These did take a little bit of force, it sounded like the plastic tabs were going to break but they didn't (don't worry!) The lower section helps mount the fuel pump, there's a circular rubber gasket/grommet/seal thing on the bottom where the sock is. Undo the hose clip on the short fuel hose on the side to disconnect it from the 3 way distribution pipe to be able to lift the upper half away. Don't forget to unplug the fuel pump too! There's a few rubber O rings that will need transferring to the new filter housing, I show these in the video at the bottom of this write up. Reassembly is the reverse Here's a photo of the new filter installed, you'll be able to see where the tabs are more clearing against the yellow OEM plastic Once the assembly is re-installed, I turned the engine over a few times to help build up fuel pressure. I did panic when the car stopped turning over but I could hear the fuel pump making a noise. It eventually started and has been fine since. Found my 'lucky' coin underneath the rear seat too The Youtube video can be seen here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uLJ65pmQt44&t=6s
    • It was picked up on the MOT/Inspection that the offside front wheel bearing had excessive play along with the ball joint. It made sense to do both sides so I sourced a pair of spare IS200 hubs to do the swap. Unfortunately I don't have any photos of the strip down but here's a quick run down. On the back of the hub is a large circular dust cover, using a flat head screw driver and a mallet I prised it off. Underneath will reveal a 32mm hub nut (impact gun recommended). With the hub nut removed the ABS ring can be removed (I ended up using a magnetic pick up tool to help). Next up is to remove the stub axle, this was a little trickier due to limited tools. I tried a 3 leg puller but the gap between the hub and stub axle wasn't enough for the legs to get in and under. Next option was a lump hammer and someone pulling the stub axle at the same time. After a few heavy hits it released. The lower bearing race had seized itself onto the stub axle, which was fine because I was replacing them anyway. With the upper bearing race removed and the grease cleaned off they looked like this The left one looked pristine inside but gave us the most trouble. The right one had some surface rust but came apart in a single hit, figure that out?! I got a local garage to press the new wheel bearings in, reassemble was the opposite and didn't take long at all. Removing the hub itself was simple. Starting with removing the brake caliper, 2x 14mm bolts for the caliper slider and 2x 19mm? for the carrier > hub bolts. I used a cable tie to secure the caliper to the upper arm so it was out of the way, there's a 10mm bolt securing the ABS sensor on. With the brake disc removed from the hub next are the three castle nuts for the upper and lower ball joints and track rod end. Two of these had their own R clip and one split pin. A few hits with the hammer and they're released (I left the castle nuts on by a couple of turns), the track rod ends gave me the most grief and I may have nipped the boots (oops). Fitting is the reversal and is very quick and easy to do. The lower ball joints are held onto the hub by 2x 17mm bolts. The castle nut did increase in socket size to 22mm from memory (this may vary from supplier) The two front tyres weren't in great condition, so I had those replaced with some budget tyres for the time being. I'll be replacing the wheels and tyres in the future, this was to get me on the road without the worry of the police hassling me.
    • Yep, the closest base tune available was for the GTT, I went with that and made all the logical changes I could find to convert it to Naturally Aspirated. It will rev fine in Neutral to redline but it will be cutting nearly 50% fuel the whole way.  If I let it tune the fuel map to start with that much less fuel it wont run right and has a hard time applying corrections.  These 50% cuts are with a fuel map already about half of what the GTT tune had.  I was having a whole lot of bogging when applying any throttle but seem to have fixed that for no load situations with very aggressive transient throttle settings. I made the corrections to my injectors with data I found for them online, FBCJC100 flowing 306cc.  I'll have to look to see if I can find the Cam section. I have the Bosch 4.9 from Haltech. My manifold pressure when watching it live is always in -5.9 psi/inHg
    • Hi My Tokico BM50 Brake master cylinder has a leak from the hole between the two outlets (M10x1) for brake pipes, I have attached a photo. Can anyone tell me what that hole is and what has failed to allow brake fluid to escape from it, I have looked on line and asked questions on UK forums but can not find the answer, if anyone can enlighten me I would be most grateful.
    • It will be a software setting. I don't believe many on here ever used AEM. And they're now a discontinued product,that's really hard to find any easy answers on. If it were Link or Haltech, someone would be able to just send you a ECU file though.
