omg that happened to me once in my GT-t I was cruising along in the left hand lane (the main road in blacktown just after the pub & before the hospital and heading to the tafe) There was 3rd lane for people to turn right and out of nowhere a girl walks out in the middle of the road from between the cars queued up on the right, she was wearing sunnies and listening to her ipod crossing the road where she wasn't supposed to and not paying attention to anything, it all happened in a split second I braked honked my horn and she jumped back just in time, but not quick enough for her to get hit by my sidemirror

I stopped to see if she was okay and drove her home, luckily just a small bruise :)

scared the sh*t out of me

Accidents caused by someone else’s bad driving that doesn’t affect them are awesome.

I was in my 88 magna (my old daily) on the Pacific Highway in Chatswood a few years back. I was heading north in the right lane and was over taking someone sitting in the Railway Street turning shoulder (he was turning across southbound Pacific Highway traffic into Railway Street). The clown swung left into my lane to turn right. I had a car next to me on my left, so pulling left to avoid the car now a foot in my lane a few meters ahead was not an option.

I braked, looked in my rear mirror and saw a Red P Plater in her dads E Class slam her brakes on. She managed to pull up, however the Mazda 6 behind her didn’t. The Merc was shunted and ended up with my towbar straight through its radiator. Both the Mazda and Merc were un-drivable and had to be towed. My tow bar was a little scratched and needed a new plastic cover.

Obviously the Mazda 6 was at fault for driving to close to person in front, but it shouldn’t have happened at all. The other car that avoided the whole thing probably didn’t even realize.

i agree with everything in this thread.

It shits me the most when people are in the right lane, they are going under the speed limit but cruising right next to the car to their left.

Also people that are constantly on the brakes when going down a slight slope.

    • Working through possible solutions of converting my mechanical speedo.    Anyone know what type of speedo sensor the factory r34 gtr getrag has ? what the output is ? I assume its not a VSS and more a voltage like earlier speedo sensors ? Can an ECU read it ?  
    • roof rail delete used to be a thing, they were made locally for a while too
    • I can get more photos of it here soon and I plan to make a thread detailing the process. I received the car this way and it sorely needs refinishing. That is probably the most appealing photo of it. Up close it is fading, cracked, and needs to be re-glued. Depending on their condition I'm on the fence between refinishing or making a new set.  Another angle hiding the pimples and razor pumps  
    • According to this thread the RS4V with build plate RC40 comes with the R200 diff @ 4.083 ratio as well (mine has said RC40 denotation). We may need to check if the axle stubs are the same pattern as well. The auto subframes have longer axles. However I think yours being a later Series 2 as well, we should have the same bolt pattern for the diff stubs. Unless your upgraded rear also has upgraded axles. Either way, I would not be opposed to pulling the covers to check so I can inspect that  fancy rear core  Also I don't have HICAS. I don't believe that should change things but I hope the people here with heaps more experience than me can correct me if I'm wrong   Let me know if you want to attempt to make this work and I can get some pictures of mine from under the car. 
    • It's not that straightforward. For example I have had this code because my ignitor/power transistor wires were unplugged. It knows something is wrong but has no idea what it means. If you want to actually diagnose this I recommend following the service manual flowchart for code 21. Ohm out the harness, coilpacks, inspect the ECU, etc. And again, it's entirely possible for there to be no problem at all but if you're running a different coilpack it'll trigger the code because it doesn't like what it sees.
