Some crazy female, turning left on to a slip lane / merge with me (both turning left onto merge lane) decided to just stop for no reason there were no cars nothing!!! Then after inspection of my car there was no damage to it none just a tiny little mark on the plastics.

Now she trying to say that the right side of her boot is damaged from the impact but I only hit her on the middle and left sides (as we both turning left) the force needed to damage her car that much would have been very evident on my front bar and bonnet, (not the skyline but the comondore ute I have) Now the next thing is how on earth did I get anywhere near her boot when the front of my ute is at plastics hight of her boot not the metal part. Its been lowered.

f**king cow.

Karma will get you bitch!!!

Sorry need to vent

Dude, she's prolly trying to get you to pay for damage that was already there.

Then she'll sell the car; iv heard about it before.

In dimly let areas, ppl slam on brakes, say they saw a roo and you pay for the damage (as the person behind alway does)

I was run into by someone in the same situation as that woman a few months ago. No offence, but THIS is exactly why I completely ignore what is coming from the right until the person in front of me has merged and is completely gone. I hate it when I see people in front of me who are going to merge looking to the right to see what's coming, instead of looking at the person in front of them who has yet to merge! Who on earth cares what traffic is coming if the person in front of you isn't gone? Esp if you plan on booting it.

Anyway, accident analysis by the damage inspectors should get you in the clear. If it went too far, I'd take her to court and have road forensic scientists tell her she's an idiot.

Well I looked forward and completely saw here moving forward as if she was merging so moved forward and looked right then looked back and she had slammed on the brakes in front of me!! I reacted and locked up mine then just a kiss to her rear plastic bumper.

It's all good; I'm sure everyone had their best intentions in mind! I also know most everyone is quick to clamp down on anything remotely racist. I'm just one more that has to be cautious of it all, too!

    • Also, I logged some data from the ECU for each session (mostly oil pressures and various temps, but also speed, revs etc, can't believe I forgot accelerator position). The Ecutek data loads nicely to datazap, I got good data from sessions 2, 3 and 4: https://datazap.me/u/duncanhandleyhgeconsultingcomau/250813-wakefield-session-2?log=0&data=7 https://datazap.me/u/duncanhandleyhgeconsultingcomau/250813-wakefield-session-3?log=0&data=6 https://datazap.me/u/duncanhandleyhgeconsultingcomau/250813-wakefield-session-4?log=0&data=6 Each session is cut into 3 files but loaded together, you can change between them in the top left. As the test sessions are mostly about the car, not me, I basically start by checking the oil pressure (good, or at least consistent all day). These have an electrically controlled oil pump which targets 25psi(!) at low load and 50 at high. I'm running a much thicker oil than recommended by nissan (they said 0w20, I'm running 10w40) so its a little higher. The main thing is that it doesn't drop too far, eg in the long left hand fish hook, or under brakes so I know I'm not getting oil surge. Good start. Then Oil and Coolant temp, plus intercooler and intake temps, like this: Keeping in mind ambient was about 5o at session 2, I'd say the oil temp is good. The coolant temp as OK but a big worry for hot days (it was getting to 110 back in Feb when it was 35o) so I need to keep addressing that. The water to air intercooler is working totally backwards where we get 5o air in the intake, squish/warm it in the turbos (unknown temp) then run it through the intercoolers which are say 65o max in this case, then the result is 20o air into the engine......the day was too atypical to draw a conclusion on that I think, in the united states of freedom they do a lot of upsizing the intercooler and heat exchanger cores to get those temps down but they were OK this time. The other interesting (but not concerning) part for me was the turbo speed vs boost graph: I circled an example from the main straight. With the tune boost peaks at around 18psi but it deliberately drops to about 14psi at redline because the turbos are tiny - they choke at high revs and just create more heat than power if you run them hard all the way. But you can also see the turbo speed at the same time; it raises from about 180,000rpm to 210,000rpm which the boost falls....imagine the turbine speed if they held 18psi to redline. The wastegates are electrically controlled so there is a heap of logic about boost target, actual boost, delta etc etc but it all seems to work well
    • hahah when youtube subscribers are faster than my updates here. Yes some vid from the day is up, here:  Note that as with all track day videos it is boring watching after the bloopers at the start.  The off was a genuine surprise to me, I've literally done a thousand laps around the place and I've never had instability there; basically it rolled into oversteer, slipped, gripped and spat me out. On the way off I mowed down one of the instructor's cones and it sat there all day looking at me with accusing cone eyes as I drove past. 1:13:20 was my fastest lap, and it was in the second session, 3rd lap.  It (or me!) got slower throughout the day as it got hotter.      
    • It sounds like you want what the Toyota Landcruisers have for their roof racks. Wanna know what you end up with? Rust holes in the roof, and water everywhere...
    • Discovered today that if I select reverse first and take my foot off the brake, then select drive, the drive indicator light works and so does the tiptronic gear indicator. 
    • Ok so after much research and talking with knowledgeable people I've got my turbo conversion done and it's all running great other than 1 small issue.  Car has remained auto with the na auto and tcm, I've used a stagea ecu with. NIstune board and everything is great other than my gear selection on the dash. It illuminates park, reverse, neutral, 3rd and 2nd. But nothing drive or what gear your in when you pop it into tiptronic.  I'm sure there is maybe 1 wire in the ecu plug I need to move to rectify this. Does anyone here have any ideas?   Cheers guys
