Ok, so I've been catching the bus to and from work for almost 13months now, and the other day i finished work and was waiting for the bus outside Harvery Norman home HQ (this isn't the first time its happened either) and i could see the bus approaching from a distance so i got up and clearly hailed it down from a distance continuously and the mofo didn't stop and kept driving, so with my bag over my left shoulder ipod in my left hand keys in the other, wallet and coins in my left pocket bouncing around phone in the right, i thought f*k this, this aint happening again, so i sprinted my way towards the bus hoping to catch him at the lights, as i was about 75 meters from the bus that was stuck at the lights, i saw the arrow turn green so i knew my time was minimal, i managed to catch up to the bus before the lights turned green and so i stood infront of it and banged on the window and told him to open the fk up (was seeing red at this stage) got inside and completely lost my shit at him. Sat down huffing and puffing, and i go to the old guy next to me, did he not see me? and he said he must be running late that's why he didnt stop by the way you must be a good runner (made me lol abit) but my point is...how crap is the public system..anyway there's my rant for the night enjoy.

I have noticed lately, many drivers (in cars) are not giving way to busses as they pull out after picking up/setting down passengers. This doesn't excuse the bus driver in your situation.

But I can see the reason for busses running late.

I knew our public transport system is shithouse but didn't realise it until I went to Europe.

First time in London and I miss my train. After a bit of a self rage session, I looked up and saw the next one was arriving in 2 mins. And to the second, it was on time. This was the case for buses as well. And not just in England, but ALL of western Europe (didn't visit the east side).

They don't sit around waiting. You're either on time for it or you've missed it.

Here, people hold the door for their mates, inspectors think they own the trains. It's farrrked.

Germany was cool. The u-Bahn is organized in such a way that switching trains becomes seamless. Your other train literally arrives same time as the one you're in. You get out, walk across the platform and take off. Not like the fkn city loop.

where you wait at flinders station for god knows why, before it starts heading towards box hill.

Fkn hate it.

The worst is trynna work out which way around the loop it goes. Depends on what the drivers feels lIke doing at the time, I suppose.

I once had an on comming bus turn right in front of me when I was on my motorbike, I couldn't believe the f**ker just took off and left me lying on the side of the road after he mowed me down.

Battered and brused I chased him down, best I leave the story at that. :whistling:

Lets just say that after I forced the doors open I turned real ugly, I had to pull up when I noticed the bus was half full of passengers so I said a quick sorry to them and took off, I think they were in more shock than I was with what happened.

haha bit like my story..whole bus was quite and probably scared..but i was pissed

Plus, these buses now have their own piece of road.

And in some parts of Doncaster East, some wiseass decided to put bus stop right on the road where other road users are driving on.

Everyone had to overtake buses on single unbroken line (which is illegal), I really do want torture the idiot who came up with it.

LOL, bus drivers and couriers, look at them, I mean have a good look at them, they are not good enough to drive trucks and make some real coin so they hate the world because of it.

My EXs dad was a bus driver and he would cry havoc if they told him his route had changed, and the amount of piss he drank, it was lucky he was never breath tested before work as he would have failed every day.

The public service employee, you pay peanuts, you get monkeys.

Best bus public transport is in Cancun Mexico. There is a bus along the Hotel Zone every 1-2 minutes. They all stop for you no matter if you are at the bus stop or not if you wave. Had some interesting trips on them. One was fully decked out with stereo system and lights like a night club, others had buskers singing along.

    • Can I suggest you try EBC directly again and link them to as many competitor catalogues as you can to show their listing is incorrect, eg https://dba.com.au/product/front-4000-series-hd-brake-rotor-dba42304/ If you have access to an R33 GTST VIN and your VIN, you could also use a Nissan Parts lookup like Amayama to show them the part number is different between 33 GTST and 34 GTT which may get their attention
    • So i got reply from EBC and they just this site where you can clearly see those 296mm fronts on R34 GTT. I send them photos and "quotes" that 296mm are not for 34 GTT and they are too small. But it will be very hard to return them cuz nobody here knows 100% and they just copy those EBC catalogue :-D https://ebcbrakesdirect.com/automotive/nissan/skyline-r34
    • Hi, is the HKS  Tower Bar still available ? negotiable ? 🤔
    • From there, it is really just test and assemble. Plug the adapter cables from the unit into the back of the screen, then the other side to the car harness. Don't forget all the other plugs too! Run the cables behind the unit and screw it back into place (4 screws) and you should now have 3 cables to run from the top screen to the android unit. I ran them along the DS of the other AV units in the gap between their backets and the console, and used some corrugated tubing on the sharp edges of the bracket so the wires were safe. Plug the centre console and lower screen in temporarily and turn the car to ACC, the AV should fire up as normal. Hold the back button for 3 sec and Android should appear on the top screen. You need to set the input to Aux for audio (more on that later). I put the unit under the AC duct in the centre console, with the wifi antenna on top of the AC duct near the shifter, the bluetooth antenna on the AC duct under the centre console The GPS unit on top of the DS to AC duct; they all seem to work OK there are are out of the way. Neat cable routing is a pain. For the drive recorder I mounted it near the rear view mirror and run the cable in the headlining, across the a pillar and then down the inside of the a pillar seal to the DS lower dash. From there it goes across and to one USB input for the unit. The second USB input is attached to the ECUtec OBD dongle and the 3rd goes to the USB bulkhead connected I added in the centre console. This is how the centre console looks "tidied" up Note I didn't install the provided speaker, didn't use the 2.5mm IPod in line or the piggyback loom for the Ipod or change any DIP switches; they seem to only be required if you need to use the Ipod input rather than the AUX input. That's it, install done, I'll follow up with a separate post on how the unit works, but in summary it retains all factory functions and inputs (so I still use my phone to the car for calls), reverse still works like factory etc.
    • Place the new daughterboard in the case and mount it using the 3 small black rivets provided, and reconnect the 3 factory ribbon cables to the new board Then, use the 3 piggyback cables from the daughterboard into the factory board on top (there are stand offs in the case to keep them apart. and remember to reconnect the antenna and rear cover fan wires. 1 screw to hold the motherboard in place. Before closing the case, make a hole in the sticker covering a hole in the case and run the cable for the android unit into the plug there. The video forgot this step, so did I, so will you probably. Then redo the 4 screws on back, 2 each top and bottom, 3 each side and put the 2 brackets back on.....all ready to go and not that tricky really.
