Well the shit's coming down tonight !!

5:20pm A woman named Jo calls 2GB Talk-Back Radio Sydney and complains about how she was tailgated by a 4WD in an overtaking lane, so she wouldn't go across till a 'pink bubble' started to flash inside it; and so in a panic she pulls over to lane 2 to let the driver pass in what was a RSPCA vehicle that then shot off into the distance like a 'bat out of hell'!

5:38pm A woman named Kylie calls 2GB to tell the 'true story' about what happened on lane 3 of the F3. She says that this idiot of a driver 6 cars further ahead was blocking traffic and doing 85Km/Hr in a 110Km/Hr zone. The cars in front of Kylie needless to say are getting very very annoyed after flashing their lights and ultimately overtaking on lane 2 (illegally in NSW). So when Kylie is next in line and this driver still wouldn't pull over, she flashed her bubble and the driver (ie. Jo) finally pulls over after another Km.

5:40pm Jo calls back and disputes Kylie's version to say that she was hemmed in by cars in lane 2. She also said that she tried to call the RSPCA only to find that they were closed. Philip Clarke the drive-time 2GB Jock asks Jo to hold on whilst he inserts an Advert.

5:45pm Philip in the meantime has called Kylie to come back on the line to talk directly to Jo

So in the 3-Way, Clarke finally says that he can't resolve this issue himself - an issue that appeals to the contributors to this thread !

I mean, some hogs don't realise that they're holding up traffic until they're flashed and then they pull over.

Some hogs don't realise that they're hogging until they're flashed and then they stay right where they are. PASSIVE ROAD RAGE !

Some hogs don't realise that they're hogging until they're flashed and then they retaliate. ACTIVE ROAD RAGE !!

And some hogs know that they're hogging and.... Well you can guess the rest. ACTIVE ROAD RAGE !!!

Cheers

haha i only heard Jo's 1st call yesterday and she starts off with 'Im driving down the F3 in the right hand lane'

bwahaha Phillip replies "why were you in the right hand lane?" Jo says"oh i was overtaking"

then i switched off.

cool, another 2gb listener.

its a mix bag really. you could put the same driver in a skyline and they would do the same thing...ha

hmmm - true BUT these camry/corolla drivers don't drive skylines :(

on a side note people that drive European cars in general take the fast lane, and he moment you try to overtake from the left they speed up - wtf is that??? once i lost it and gave them a good look at my stove top tail lights

I say right lane hogs are a risk to all drivers as people are forced to overtake from the left :D

A huge convoy of cars were crawling along US Highway #32 and when the police motorcyclist finally reached the offending hog, he pulled her over and said,

COPPER: What's the idea of going so slow?

OLD LADY DRIVER: But I always stick to the speed limit officer!

COPPER: So what do you think the speed limit is lady?

OLD LADY DRIVER: Over there - that sign - it says '32'

COPPER: No No No! That's the highway number!

OLD LADY DRIVER: Oh!

Then turning to walk back to his cycle & noticing the petrified perspiring passengers in the back seat, he added,

COPPER: And what's wrong with you lot?

PASSENGER: Er Um, We just came off Highway #145 !!

hmmm - true BUT these camry/corolla drivers don't drive skylines :thumbsup:

well, ,they paid a lot of money to have the "best" car, not exactly a good feeling when a car 1/10 its rrp so effortlessly overtakes them.

I witnessed something incredible yesterday. My brother and I were towing the race car down the M5. As we were approaching the E-way fast lane, a lot of cars were slowing down and pulling into the right lane. Up ahead was a new tarago with all the family inside with its hazards on, slowing down to a complete stop in the E-way fastlane. We got held up behind them as we couldn't pull out fast enough with the car trailer. I was convinced they had broken down, but my brother thought otherwise and beeped and shouted expletives at them when we finally got a chance to pull out. Just as we drove past, we saw them finally find their e-tag and put it up on the window.

So to recap, they stopped in the middle of a highway lane, risking the lives of everyone around them and the 7 or 8 family members in their car, to find their e-tag and save themselves a $10 fine.

People continue to amaze me with their stupidity.

Me. Nah not really but there are a lot of ignorant people out there.

I will sit in the right lane doing the limit - 5 kms over. This is not illegal, im doing the speed limit. Yet people cane it up my ass (to make me go faster). So Fu(k them, i slow down. Just because "im in the R" or any other bullcrap reason for speeding, why the fu(k would i move out the way for you?!?

As for the type of car that do this, mostly work vans and 4wd's.

Gotta love the look on peoples faces when they push their way into the left to get past you but they cant cos the traffic flow is to slow :(

the 1s that really bug me r the drivers out here in the country that sit on about 80 in a 100 zone on the highways when they r single lane but when they r overtaking lanes they will speed up 2 like 110 2 120 2 keep u behind them then slow down 2 80 again.

one day when this was hapening i had a highway behind me and he pulled out 2 go around me so i let him in then he pulled the car over and when i saw him at the pub later i was talking 2 him and he said that he booked the person for it as there was about 12 cars behind me.

The worst 1 i have been with is i was behind a car doing this a gave him a little flash with the high beam once again had i cop behind me but this time was an undercover when we got to the overtaking lane i went 2 overtake him and when i got beside him the prick swerved 2 hit me off the road i dont know howhe didnt hit me but i ended up on the wrong side of the road. i pulled infront of the prick slowed down 2 bout 40 then ripped the handbrake on and stoped in front of him, he pulled up got out of his car and started yelling at me the undercover pulled up behind and yelled at me and told me 2 bugger of then started yelling at the other driver for wat he done. My parents were about 10 mins behind me and they said they were still there when they drove past.

People think its "safer" to do 80km/h in the fast lane, some extended family member come to mind....

How is it safe when something your doing, is causing the 5 cars behind you, to want to kill you. (who are trying to do the right thing and use the overtaking (right) lane for... now this may surprise people...overtaking)

They cause otherwise safe drivers to get pissed off, and drive unsafley = dangerous.

You dont sit in the outside lane at 100, you sit in the left lanes at the speed limit. Its not complex.

If you are underconfident and cant do 100 or 110 maybe you shouldnt be behind the wheel of a car, its a basic road skill to be able to controll a car at highway speed.

A message to the Volvo, X5, ML, camry, 626, corolla, vecrta etc. drivers of this country keep out of the overtaking lanes. Bring on some of those laws where you fined for not going the correct lane speed. There is not a single car on the Aussie market which wont sit on 120km/h on the highway all day long, do it, i promise you wont spontaneously combust.

haha oh god not that again

I've noticed on the highway the past few days going to and from work people sitting on 50-80km/h now that's dangerous, especially when you come tearing around a corner (albeit at the speedlimit) and one of these dickheads are plodding right in front of you.

I think that instead of just targeting 'hoon' drivers, there should be a crackdown on generally incompetent drivers.

  • 1 month later...

I get the wankers who sit in the fast lane talking on their mobiles.. not realising they holding everyone up.. i'll teach them one day.. and for all the f**kwits who don't know the rules.. if u think its ok to do 100 in the fast lane cause your "doing the speed limit".. it's illegal as you must merge left UNLESS OVERTAKING.. morons..

or my second favourite.. in the morning traffic.. and some afternoon traffic.. you get the morons doing 70-80k/s in the areas on the highway that are known to be built up.. even when the traffic is going 100.. and these stupid people wonder why the traffic is built up.. PUT UR FOOT DOWN U MORON AND THERE WON'T BE A HOLD UP..

    • 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.
