I was driving on the M4 today on the stretch of road just past kingswood station heading to st marys/blacktown direction
I know wat your talking about Yo-Yo.. but when u mention the tafe and hill are u sure u dont mean the great western heading towards st marys.

whoops I always get the two mixed up lol :happy:

looks like I touched on a nerve, glad I'm not the only one out there experiencing this

sh@un pretty much summed it up, seriously I've seen marked police cars PASS BY shitflamin mongrels mentioned previously and do absolutely nothing.

I especially hate the retards who go 60 km/h onto the M5 then do what? Accelerate at 1 km/h/min while cars/trucks/B-doubles are doing 100 FLYING past by or slamming on the brakes behind them. They won't be part of an accident but they will cause it for the cars behind them, fksticks!

I like the bullbar idea, I know the R31 has an aftermarket kit, seen a couple on ebay :)

Amen.. The European way of driving is SO much better. We seem quite happy to steal every other good idea from other countries, why not their method of driver training? I'm pretty certain that there is nothing in the driving tests about how to merge PROPERLY. NO, merging properly shouldnt mean slow down until you find an appropriate gap. The slower you go, the faster the cars approach you from behind. Tards :)

Regardless, if none of what we're talking about is policed, theres no hope!

nothing worse then driving home on the m4 or m5 during peak hour, when one person decides to put on the brake because he saw a cop car pulled someone over on the emergency lane, and everyone else puts on the brakes because they saw old mate infront slowed down, and have the cars backed up 4 or 5kms coz this person decides to make a hugggeee deal out of it

True story:

My dad accelerated onto a freeway back in perth, got up to the 100km/h speed limit, then braked extremely hard for a 74yro man in a camry doing the 50/60km/h on the onramp and taking 20 mins to get up to the speed limit. To avoid crashing into the camry, dad had to swerve into the freeway (the inside shoulder was too small to get past the camry) and subsequently got cleaned up by a harvey norman delivery truck.

Dad obviously got blamed for the accident, and wrote off his v8 statesman - but lets face it - it was the joker in the camry that started the whole domino effect of the accident. Even the guy in the truck said the idiot in the camry should have accelerated up to the speed limit. The guy in the camry just drove off (probably didn't blink an eyelid, or wasn't even aware of what just happened)

Just an example of what can happen with these retards on the road.

Not until after the first little hill after that set of lights does it become an 80 zone. It's still a 70 zone up untill then.

But yes i do agree with what your saying.

I hate once you get to Mt Druitt, theres 3 lanes but dicks in the right lane take almost to the fruit shop to get upto 80. Like FFS pull over and let us past.

why can't we

1. adopt the no speed limit idea of autobahn.

2. increase the speed limit to 80k during rush hour.

Because it wouldnt matter we would just be going twice as fast when we inevitably hit the retard doing 60km/h on the freeway and not have enough time to break. To add to that we would also have the issue of crazy bitches in their 4WD's flipping over week in week out because they thought it was safe to do 250km/h in their insert crappy soft roader here just because there late to get little Krystal to ballet.

that's where I was talking about, I was behind 4-5 cars on the dual lane after the set of lights that go to the tafe. it's an 80 zone after the 3 lanes merges into two, we were all taking off at the set of lights

in saying that too I hate when you are in a queue of cars stopped at a light and you're still stationary 40 seconds after the light turns green even though there's only like 3-4 cars in front

and that intersection where the fruit shop is can get pretty lairy when dumbasses merge right to head to mounty/st marys direction

i cant understand why people do that, seriously the cop has already pulled someone over they're not going to pull out and chase you if your 5k over the speed limit, even when people are doing the speed limit some tard still sees the need to slow down, and it always seems to be the guy in the fast lane that decides to do this makes me want to smack them in the back of the head as im driving past, would need a passanger for that tho lol

hahahaha, We always get a handful of these douchebags here in Newcastle that can't do the speedlimit and my solution to this is I pretty much ride their rear bumper and bully them into doing the speedlimit.

Amen about the F3 on-ramps and getting upto 110km/h. My old man used to be a serial offender until I rode shotgun with him to Sydney once... Let's just say he got yelled at after we cut off 2 large semitrailers whilst merging onto the F3. I needed a fresh pair of panties after that.

Furthermore, I can stand people that don't indicate on motorways when changing lanes! It's not that hard!

haha i was just thinking about this the other day! i take the m5 from city to hurstville quite regularly and omg the stuff i've seen just shits me to tears.

plenty of people in the right lane doing like 70km/hr in the right lane and it even says up the top in the tunnels "SLOW DRIVERS KEEP LEFT"

but when i see a speeder coming from behind me i always change to the left to let them past.

the other day i saw the worst thing ever in the m5 just before the kingsgrove exit, coming out of the tunnel is a slight incline.

i was about 1km before the incline and i just see brake lights in front of me and i'm wondering WTF? this is 80 zone and i've slowed down to 40km/hr?

travelling on the incline i see closer now a semi trailer is in the right lane trying to overtake another truck on an incline both doing 40km/hr.

seriously i was even considering just taping my daily drives and compile a video of slow drivers driving in the right lane causing road rage and unnecessary congestion

Headlights always on, loud exhaust and the old headlight flash usually works for me. However I have noticed a increase of the sheep effect when one person decides driving at 30km under the limit is normal and the rest follow.

In all that at least they arnt speeding.

Although message out today road deaths are up even though p plate regs came in etc. I think it was quite a large jump too.

    • Power is fed to the ECU when the ignition switch is switched to IGN, at terminal 58. That same wire also connects to the ECCS relay to provide both the coil power and the contact side. When the ECU sees power at 58 it switches 16 to earth, which pulls the ECCS relay on, which feeds main power into the ECU and also to a bunch of other things. None of this is directly involved in the fuel pump - it just has to happen first. The ECU will pull terminal 18 to earth when it wants the fuel pump to run. This allows the fuel pump relay to pull in, which switches power on into the rest of the fuel pump control equipment. The fuel pump control regulator is controlled from terminal 104 on the ECU and is switched high or low depending on whether the ECU thinks the pump needs to run high or low. (I don't know which way around that is, and it really doesn't matter right now). The fuel pump control reg is really just a resistor that controls how the power through the pump goes to earth. Either straight to earth, or via the resistor. This part doesn't matter much to us today. The power to the fuel pump relay comes from one of the switched wires from the IGN switch and fusebox that is not shown off to the left of this page. That power runs the fuel pump relay coil and a number of other engine peripherals. Those peripherals don't really matter. All that matters is that there should be power available at the relay when the key is in the right position. At least - I think it's switched. If it's not switched, then power will be there all the time. Either way, if you don't have power there when you need it (ie, key on) then it won't work. The input-output switching side of the relay gains its power from a line similar (but not the same as) the one that feeds the ECU. SO I presume that is switched. Again, if there is not power there when you need it, then you have to look upstream. And... the upshot of all that? There is no "ground" at the fuel pump relay. Where you say: and say that pin 1 Black/Pink is ground, that is not true. The ECU trigger is AF73, is black/pink, and is the "ground". When the ECU says it is. The Blue/White wire is the "constant" 12V to power the relay's coil. And when I say "constant", I mean it may well only be on when the key is on. As I said above. So, when the ECU says not to be running the pump (which is any time after about 3s of switching on, with no crank signal or engine speed yet), then you should see 12V at both 1 and 2. Because the 12V will be all the way up to the ECU terminal 18, waiting to be switched to ground. When the ECU switches the fuel pump on, then AF73 should go to ~0V, having been switched to ground and the voltage drop now occurring over the relay coil. 3 & 5 are easy. 5 is the other "constant" 12V, that may or may not be constant but will very much want to be there when the key is on. Same as above. 3 goes to the pump. There should never be 12V visible at 3 unless the relay is pulled in. As to where the immobiliser might have been spliced into all this.... It will either have to be on wire AF70 or AF71, whichever is most accessible near the alarm. Given that all those wires run from the engine bay fusebox or the ECU, via the driver's area to the rear of the car, it could really be either. AF70 will be the same colour from the appropriate fuse all the way to the pump. If it has been cut and is dangling, you should be able to see that  in that area somewhere. Same with AF71.   You really should be able to force the pump to run. Just jump 12V onto AF72 and it should go. That will prove that the pump itself is willing to go along with you when you sort out the upstream. You really should be able to force the fuel pump relay on. Just short AF73 to earth when the key is on. If the pump runs, then the relay is fine, and all the power up to both inputs on the relay is fine. If it doesn't run (and given that you checked the relay itself actually works) then one or both of AF70 and AF71 are not bringing power to the game.
    • @PranK can you elaborate further on the Colorlock Dye? The website has a lot of options. I'm sure you've done all the research. I have old genuine leather seats that I have bought various refurbing creams and such, but never a dye. Any info on how long it lasts? Does it wash out? Is it a hassle? What product do I actually need? Am I just buying this kit and following the steps the page advises or something else? https://www.colourlockaustralia.com.au/colourlock-leather-repair-kit-dye.html
    • These going to fit over the big brakes? I'd be reeeeeeeeaaaall hesitant to believe so.
    • The leather work properly stunned me. Again, I am thankful that the leather was in such good condition. I'm not sure what the indent is at the top of the passenger seat. Like somebody was sitting in it with a golf ball between their shoulders. The wheels are more grey than silver now and missing a lot of gloss.  Here's one with nice silver wheels.
    • It's amazing how well the works on the leather seats. Looks mint. Looking forward to see how you go with the wheels. They do suit the car! Gutter rash is easy to fix, but I'm curious about getting the colour done.
