But they people who watches & believes sh*t like TT/ACA don't like it that way...

They are probably also the morons that sit on the right lane while doing 10 - 20 under, but never get picked on by the cops so they think they are the world's safest drivers.

This is simple to stop and looks really funny when a younger guys does it... espesially in a "performance" car.

simply get in front of them and slow down to 30-40 under the limit so do 70 in a 100 zone... watch them get pissed off and move over :) then simply speed up to the speed limit and away you go... yes i know they may not learn anything but it makes me chuckle and feel good :)

The police wont do nothing about it, so i just get pay back for holding everyone up in the right lane.

People shouldn't be hogging the right lane when the left lane is free. Forcing people to undertake on the left is dangerous. I hate undertaking on the left as I know the idiot to my right is liable to move left w/out looking. Always very careful about undertaking.

i 100% agree with you but there is nothing you can do about it... you will not change the way people are and have been for years and years... so simply go around and do the same to them.. it does feel good try it.

my favorite past time while driving with a tailgater is to slow right down to like 10k's under the speed limit then when they go to overtake me i speed up to match them....

and sometimes if theres another car in the lane next to me when they try to overtake me i speed up to that car and make em suffer with no way of overtaking lol

:P

I have been overtaking on the left lane soo many times I have lost count. Pisses me off all the time when people take the right lane and go really slow when the left lane traffic is faster than them. Have been trying to convinced myself that left lane is the overtaking lane in Perth now. Something needs to be done!! IE: A big sign every 100m that says "Right lane is overtaking lane" like they do in Singapore or impose a fine for road hogging!

On the note of this, im sure you guys have experienced driving on a 2 lane road and both cars in front of you are travelling at the exact same speed and you are forced to follow their speed for a good 10 mins!!!! Sometimes I wish I am driving a hummer and can show some road rage! :D

from WA road rules:

3.4

Keeping to the Left

3.4.2 Roads with 2 or more lanes

If the speed limit that applies to a road is 90km/h or higher or there are 'KEEP LEFT

UNLESS OVERTAKING' signs installed, you are not permitted to drive in the right

lane of these roads unless:

■ you are turning right or making a 'U' turn and giving a right turn signal;

■ you are overtaking another vehicle;

■ the adjacent left lane is a special purpose lane such as a bus lane or bicycle lane;

■ the left lane is a left turning lane and you are travelling straight ahead; or

■ the other lanes are congested with traffic

      Leak from Tokico BM50 Brake Master Cylinder

      By brillo · Posted

      Hi, SteveL Thank you very much for your reply, you seem to be the only person on the net who has come up with a definitive answer for which I am grateful. The "Leak" was more by way of wet bubbles when the pedal was depressed hard by a buddy while trying to gey a decent pedal when bleeding the system having fitted the rebuilt BM50 back in the car, which now makes perfect sense. A bit of a shame having just rebuilt my BM50, I did not touch the proportioning valve side of things, the BM50 was leaking from the primary piston seal and fluid was running down the the Brake booster hence the need to rebuild, I had never noticed any fluid leaking from that hole previously it only started when I refitted it to the car. The brake lines in the photo are "Kunifer" which is a Copper/Nickel alloy brake pipe, but are only the ones I use to bench bleed Master cylinders, they are perfectly legal to use on vehicles here in the UK, however the lines on the car are PVF coated steel. Thanks again for clearing this up for me, a purchase of a new BMC appears to be on the cards, I have been looking at various options in case my BM50 was not repairable and have looked at the HFM BM57 which I understand is manufactured in Australia.

      R33 GTST Steering Rack (49001-19U05) Rebuild?

      By Gantai · Posted

      Well the install is officially done. Filled with fluid and bled it today, but didn't get a chance to take it on a test drive. I'll throw some final pics of the lines and whatnot but you can definitely install a DMAX rack in an R33 with pretty minor mods. I think the only other thing I had to do that isn't documented here is grind a bit of the larger banjo fitting to get it to clear since the banjos are grouped much tighter on the DMAX rack. Also the dust boots from a R33 do not fit either fyi, so if you end up doing this install for whatever reason you'll need to grab those too. One caveat with buying the S15 dust boots however is that the clamps are too small to fit on the R33 inner tie rod since they're much thicker so keep the old clamps around. The boots also twist a bit when adjusting toe but it's not a big deal. No issues or leaks so far, steering feels good and it looks like there's a bit more lock now than I had before. Getting an alignment on Saturday so I'll see how it feels then but seems like it'll be good to go

      Leak from Tokico BM50 Brake Master Cylinder

      By SteveL · Posted

      I don't get in here much anymore but I can help you with this.   The hole is a vent (air relief) for the brake proportioning valve, which is built into the master cylinder.    The bad news is that if brake fluid is leaking from that hole then it's getting past the proportioning valve seals.   The really bad news is that no spare parts are available for the proportioning valve either from Nissan or after market.     It's a bit of a PITA getting the proportioning valve out of the master cylinder body anyway but, fortunately, leaks from that area are rare in my experience. BTW, if those are copper (as such) brake lines you should get rid of them.    Bundy (steel) tube is a far better choice (and legal  in Australia - if that's where you are).
