some wild clashes there boys!!

I used to come across a few bogans when I was younger (probably from being on the road at all hours of the morning) but these days whenever I come across them, I pull up to the lights with them, wind down my window and give them the "Colgate" smile (see below)..........must be my extraordinarily good looks because they generally go on their merry way :devil:

Funnily enough I never have those issues when I'm on the bike (perception is an amazing thing)........they must hear me before seeing me because the road ahead is always clear. On a couple of occasions I've even had the odd car virtually pull over to let me through as though I was an ambulance :D

Hrm when I drove a commodore I used to get the bogan quotient but I haven't had any problems in my GTR. Being a big skinhead kinda helps there

The biggest problem with a lot of these "tough guy" responses is that as soon as you exit the vehicle with any kind of weapon, you are commiting a crime, pure and simple, and can be prosecuted as such.

I don't know about many of you, but I know any kind of criminal conviction would end my career, and pretty much my life as I know it.

It's funny how thoughts like this mellow you with age.

It might sound weak, but the "drive to the poilce station" idea sounds best to me.

This is becoming a bogan road rage experience thread?

Here's my addition:

Last year when I still had my little Familia, I was cruising down Anzac highway just past the Etsa building when a little Charade started tailgating me, then drove up next to me and proceeded to swerve into me! I slammed on the brakes and got behind the car, but then they ripped up their handbrake, so I swerved over and booted it up to the speed limit and then they followed me up, got next to me and there was about 4 bogan looking guys in the car yelling at me that I was driving a "homo shopping trolley" even though they were in a banged up Charade. They then wanted me to pull over to "bash the living sh*t out of me" but I drove off down a side street, they tried to follow but they gave up after a few minutes.

I hear ya Chops & Cronic.

It amazes me how some bogans can't see past their noses and anticipate the potential trouble they can find themselves for a few seconds of rage that makes them feel like heroes.

Some of you might remember a young lad recently with his dad in the car being chased by a car load of hoons because he gave them the finger......he ended up dead and the old man couldn't do a thing about it.

Around the same time there was a similar situation with a lad and his blind dad or uncle in the car who couldn't help the lad from being bashed by bogans after the lad gave them the finger or verbal abuse. The bogans that do this stuff don't realize that for a few seconds of heroics they could spend the rest of their lives either in jail or pick on the wrong car one day and end up dead themselves. They'll pick on the wrong car one day with an outlaw club member who's armed.......90% of the time the clubbies drive around in old bomb dailys, not their bikes!

Like I said earlier, smile and move on..........they're looking for a knee jerk reaction from you so in their distorted thinking they can justify bashing you.......don't give them a reason!

At the end of the day, I'm usually in the car cause I need to get somewhere so I don't have the time to either be chased by idiots or to pull over and crack their skulls.

wrong. if i exit the car with a tyre iron, spanner etc who is to say that is for violence, not just to change my wheel etc????? to prove me anything else but innocent in court would be next to impossible.

also if i feel that my life is in danger i am legally alowed to use force to protect myself, there is a line at what is excessive force tho.....not going there.

very very true

yeah its preaty funny tho coz i know preaty much all the bogan locals that live round this area, as most are my brothers friends etc. Reckon the dude was on meth n thought wow look at those preaty round lights. they look like butterflies... in the words of Rick James... "Cocaines a hell of a drug"

That would depend how convincing you are when you state the tyre iron slipped off as you were pushing it and hit the other bloke in the head bounced off the ground then hit him again.

lol

ive had a few incidents on the way home from work at 5 in the morning, always when im in the celsior, and always when im passing mawson lakes, i used to just do the old boot through familiar roads to get away from em thing.

now i just dont drive the celsior.

If your really concerned about the people involved, just drive straight towards the nearest police station, park right out the front, Im pretty sure they'll f**k off quick smart.

Good Call!! It's worked before for my chemist mate with wife and kids in the R34.

As the jerk passes by, it then becomes an Exec. Decision to go after him to get his Reg #. Tut Tut. Sounds a bit like a Mustang I know, reversing positions with an R/T

Cheers, T

I dont get it...

In every post someone has referred to a "bogan".

Is that not to say there arent wogs out there that do the same things - spark up in carparks, act like idiots etc etc? Im a wog myself and have witnessed a few things and also have been on the receiving end of mindless roadrage.

I dont think its entirely limited to the "beanie and goatie" set, to be brually honest.

I dont understand why Australians disrespect someone elses car - for whatever reason and im not looking forward all that much to the attention mine will receive, being the only one of its kind in South Oz because im 100% sure a lot of it will be unwanted and negative... i.e, Stolen, Keyed, Bashed, Torched, Spat on, Bottled, etc, et-bloody-cetera.

Its more than likely due to bogans not exactly liking 'jap crap'.

They see a young lad in the car size them up and they think they will have a little fun.

Thats all there is to it so most likely why there is a high prelevance of the 'bogan' road rager amongst the import community.

I've only ever been road raged twice both when I was younger. Both were what I would consider bogans. :D

Thats a fair enough point, but if anyone said "wog", that would be racist. We'd get other "wog's" on SAU blowing up because we are generalising. See what society has turned into?

    • 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.
