gave me a damm good talking to when he pulled me over, no ticket though, lucky .....

All the while staring at your boobs I'm sure....

I'll bet a guy would have been fined...

Prob lol, nothing against them though, just this specific one.

Most are usualy pretty freindly.

Traffic cops aren't friendly

Most of them would trample their own mother en route to their next ticket..

Why is everyone assuming there is heavy traffic? My impression when I read the first post was the road was more or less empty:

Saw no one with all those mirror and sholder checks? Road can't have been that busy. Where was the cop bike during all this I wonder?

I beg to differ:

This is called "Doing it wrong".

That's not the impression I got from reading what he wrote, but I wasn't there so I don't know.

It's a perfectly sensible law, it's the people implementing it that are the issue...

When merging onto a highway that is flowing there is ALWAYS gaps, it's just a matter of finding one and fitting in. If someone is not courteous and doens't let you in, you go behind them. This might mean you have to slow down a bit to find the gap, but you should be back at the same speed when you slot into it. It's not rocket science.

I've never had any issues merging into a highway/etc that is flowing. Obviously if it's heavy traffic and the highway is not flowing (usually due to people failing to merge properly when it was) then obviously it is a completely different scenario. Technically, the guys on the highway that you are merging into don't have to let you in at all, but most people will start going 1-for-1 from each lane that is merging.

Truth.

If you read my replies I explained that most of the time when people in the merge lane have to slow down they end up stopping which is what I meant talking about giving way.

It's funny but I think the statistics would be even greater of people that treat a stop sign or line as a give way.

Anyway, I was just commenting that it would help out a lot on the roads if more people were courteous,

but nope, I'm wrong, totally wrong.

This debate is pointless, it's like arguing with a girlfriend..... they're always "right" :D

i say take them to court hey. waste their time and get a few adjurnments to extend your licence for a while. at the end of it all they say bad luck buddy shouldnt have done the wrong thing then by then u will probs have your points back. lol. NO COMMENTS EITHER MARTIN your just gay. hahahaha.

Hope you don't mind if I pop in on this one...

Looking at the maps posted on the first page... ...there's a solid lane line... ...followed by the normal lane markers... ...and then some shorter "quicker" lane markers as the left lane ends...

In Victoria, these shorter markings a not "give way" markings... ...they are lane "ending"/"starting" markings... ...and follow the same rules as freeway on and off ramps... ...some will even signal a new left lane 300m before a light controlled intercetion... ...only for that lane to then be forced back on the other side of the intercetion... ...really annoying...

When using these lanes the "zipper" rule aplies... ...and if you were indicating along the solid line... ...and matching speed... ...and you hadn't changed lanes ovar the normal lane markers... ...you would be forced over by the time you get to the short markers... ...and the car to your right... ...if behind you or becide you but not ahead of you... ...would have to slow to let you in... ...but many people fail to let you in... ...because of the give way to the right rule... ...which they think means you have to let them go even when the lane you're in is ending...

From the look of the maps... ...and if the cop was as far back as you say he was... ...with the light change... ...I feel you shouldn't have been fined...

well, that settles it then. he just needs to print this off, take it to the local cop shop and they will cancell the fine, and also throw him in a free lap dance, as a way of apologizing for the trouble.

and what the fuck is up with your punctuation?

well i hope they r reading this then. BUNCH OF f**kING FAGOTS.

^ = pot and kettle

The long and short of it all really is simple:

Learn the god damn road rules and follow them. If you don't, then don't piss and moan like a little bitch when you get caught out.

    • I havent bought a manual cover for the dash yet and no cluster change, won't bother me too much, I just need to get that auto box gone, manual in! I miss my manual. 🤪. We started last weekend and managed to get the box out. Planning to start putting it in this weekend and then order a single piece tail. We were super careful to take time and not damage anything. It's my first time working under the car.  With my S15 mainly worked in the bay. This time, it was a headache because of three or four bolts only. They simply didnt want to leave thei homr and the one securing the tailshaft, another above the GB, and the one securing the lipstick was a shit. Mates mate, Davo caught fire 🤣, nearly opened his chest up with a grinder 🤦🏽‍♂️ and both mates nearly had a plate from the box land and slit their head open. Fun times. We all survived. Not the easiest working with limited access on jackstands. As I'm sure we can agree these are the memories which make us love our car. For all three of us, was an awesome weekend and Sunday 3.30am before tools down was a fantastic effort. I need to upload pics, but looks like it needs to be via Url now. We used to be able to just upload pics back in the day. It's been that long! 🤪 Im currently spraying rustoleum under body, not because it's rusted. It's super clean, but just so it's protected for the next 10 years. There was a few surface rust spots. Which pretty much wiped off with a 3M scourer.  Really impressed with how well the previous owner maintained it. Bank account went down so quick! Service, then GB - managed to get a spanking new 34 genuine box from Nissan. All the rest of the conversion parts from Kudos.  Went with a Nismo short shifter. New pedals and Exedy Clutch and FW. Ordered the Prp Rear Main Retainer kit which should arrive Friday and my first engine mod part just like I did with my S15 will be the Tomei Expreme Turbo Outlet. Already on order. It'll likely sleep next to me on a pillow during the coming months. 🥰 Last build was on my JET200GT profile and on SAU and Hardtuned I had documented the build. Planning to try to do that again. Brands feel scarce now. Wish we still had ARC and Apexi parts readily available. Exhaust - need some advice on this. I had an Apexi exhaust on the S15 and loved the tone. My mate had a HKS HP Silent on his 33 and suggested I go with that to avoid drone. I can't remember hearing an RB25DET running that so will likely need to wait for a meet or something to hear it.  Not after big power, just enjoy building it, and drivability with minimal negative attention.
    • Have a chat with Ben at Moore Performance or Jesse at JS Performance.
    • Thanks both. All good advice. Reminds me of drilling through stone wall for drainage pipe 😬 I'll let you know how I get on if I still have use of my hands afterwards 😅
    • Finally got shipping number for the intake and throttle body, shipped by UPS, so "should" be in my hands sometime next week, fingers fracking crossed
    • I'm so far behind in the jobs I have to do at both work and home (including car) that I have become immortal. There's simply no way that I can die now.
