Spotted Rianto (rs73) yesterday afternoon doing a hook turn on William Street, onto Lonsdale Street.

I wound my window down, waved, and did all the nice things :banana: .......he did not even notice me. :( .....I then proceeded to call him and abuse him!!! :(

LOL

This sort of abusive road rage behaviour is the main reason why I'm keeping my view straight ahead to avoid unnecessary street violence...

ha ha

sorry didn't notice you - I bloody hate hook turns - had to put 1000% concentration to watch for traffic from all directions, particularly redlight runners and tailgaters sneaking up from behind.

That's right, you don't want to end up with a T-boned V35!!!!

yeah - been driving 10 yrs in melbourne and I still don't like hook turns.

Those, and the death trap roundabout @ Royal Parade near the Women's Hospital where cars, trams all mixed into a tangled web of around 5 road junctions!

^Haha I agree with that. That Royal Parade roundabout can be seriously scary. Even if you know what your doing, chances are 50% of others don't!!!

Spotted a silver V with black 5 spoke rims parked outside Nandos at Parkmore shopping centre in Keysborough on Monday night.

It doesn't need a hook turn to get T-boned. In fact I could have been T-boned this morning on way to work on a T junction with traffic lights!

Waiting on the T to turn right, when my set of light turn green, I saw from the right a truck stop at his red light, and a car on the lane next to the truck

kept going, apparently he ran a redlight as my light had just turned green, as I move across the T-junction I get very cautious and to my surprise

another shitbox car shoots through his redlight a good 3 seconds after my lights had turn green!

Freakin' mad I blared my horn as long as possible - gotta remember to jot down his number plate next time I'd dob them in!

Anyway, After work I was at the William St doing hook turn again.... but alas MILLOS is not there this evening, so I couldn't redeem myself of my sins the other day ignoring him...

Yeah, nice one...

btw is that shark fin functional?

Yeah chris rogers installed it as part of the PAL TV tuner package. I was worried about reception so he went ahead with the shark fin.

It seems to work well.

However, the angle and size of the fin isnt really to my liking.. its on my list of things to replace. I want to find something smaller.

Hell I might have spotted the same dude on O'riordan str. It was after work about 5.45pm heading south. It was in traffic so not sure if he saw me--I beeped as he went by. I was in the laskeshore blue coupe heading north. I didnt spot anyone you ??

Silver V35 Coupe in O'Riordan St Mascot on Friday!

Funny bastard smiled and then waved. hahahaa.

Spotted a grey V36 coupe on Australia Day at about 12.15 in the arvo at the "Spaghetti Junction" (ie Springvale Rd/Princes Hwy/Police Rd/Centre Rd intersection). First time I've seen a V36 in Melbourne so I was quite excited!

    • You could try some less aggressive pads on the rear. I found (a long time ago when all my brakes were stock 32) that using the same (Bendix Ultimate) pads at both ends made the rear bias excessive. I strongly suspect that the stock Nissan pads probably use a different material, but aftermarket pads will usually be the same material regardless of what pad they are put onto. That bias situation did get better when I put R33 calipers on the front AND used the same pads - just transferred them from old to new calipers. So you should feel the difference with the change you're making. But certainly do not forget the option to change the rear pads down a grade or two.
    • Ha ha, sorry dose, I wasn't meaning to argue the point on "it'll do f**k all". I was only shining a bit of a light in the flawed logic you used with it mate.   I 100% agree that there is zero point changing stock manifold with a stock turbo, unless the manifold is f**ked. And only reason I'd ponder aftermarket manifold on a stock turbo would be that I'm too scared too look at the potential ludicrous prices people are asking for a stock manifold! Ha ha ha
    • Shhh... Muricans don't understand the idea of metric so can't find half the stuff we have for modifying JDM cars 😛
    • That may or may not be me that replied 😅
    • Your response is extremely similar to what someone on the Haltech tuning tips Facebook page answered me. I take it you're also on there haha. Dyno is booked for June 27th and that's exactly what I'll be doing. I also realized I never setup a pulse width adder table so I went and did that last night. Made a fair bit of fueling difference in low load areas.  I sorted out my power steering belt woes. It was an alignment issue and it has now survived multiple instances of abuse that would have killed it prior. I also changed my fuel pump hose. The hose I replaced looks nothing like the legit gates hose I received. Real hose is actually 5/16" and is labelled properly. Amazon refunded me but has been giving me grief about my nasty review I'm trying to leave... I keep having to modify it for acceptance. I want to make sure the point gets across to others.  Last issue I want to deal with soon is the slight vibration I get in my steering wheel with my GKTech Spacers in front. My annoyance has grown and I'm at a point where I want it resolved. I've tried everything I can come up with like clean spacers thoroughly, tighten in star pattern, retorque, have wheels rebalanced 4-5x with a variety of machines (2x with a Hunter elite). I've also taken the spacers off and remounted multiple times just in case.  I'm starting to think my GKtech spacers are at fault. I'll pop a wheel off and toss a dial indicator on tomorrow to verify runout and parallelism.
