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.

    • How many of you guys run the synchro os giken set and at what power? Do you then also use the billet plate?  How is it launching with it, any dragy times from 0-60? 60ft?
    • Oh, also, forgot to add these photos I believe.
    • Thought i'd update on this. I was able to get in contact with Craig Lieberman and later on Darryl Alison (owner of Kaizo Industries). Darryl was able to help me verify that my car was in fact one of theirs and is helping me find more info on mine !
    • There's restrictor pills in the stock boost control hoses. That's how they set the amount that was bled off and hence the "high" boost setting. The usual mod in the day was to remove it and send the "high" boost setting up to about 14 psi.
    • Thanks Duncan, that's the best info I've read. Furthermore after learning about the PCM programming side controlling the factory boost solenoid, the purpose of the solenoid is to "bleed" boost when pin 25 is earthed, thus allowing spring pressure in the wastegate actuator to overcome diaphragm boost pressure, thus closing or reducing the position of the wastegate flap creating more boost as the turbo is able to spin faster. It's pretty cool to see a designated Pill to do exactly this, would have liked to have seen it with a tiny filter over the end for those moments in vacuum.  The constant bleed pill has now been removed completely from the system and solenoid boost control has been restored once again.   Case closed 😂
