How do you give way to the bus when the bus is next to you in the lane(i.e. fronts about even) and then decides to cross into your lane when you have no where to go? Had this happen to myself going past Doncaster a while back.

Wish it were that simple. Solid lines, In the middle of an intersection, I was up against a f**kin high gutter in the left lane. No where to go. Had I not backed off I would have had some nice new body work.

Guys I hear your pain. I have driven in all our lovely states and territories and I can tell you now that Perth is the up with the worst cities I have been in. People actually drive like wankers to piss you off. Example; 3 or 4 lanes and people are sitting in every lane going 80 or 90 kph in a 100 zone. They either don't see you coming at 100kph behind them or they don't care and they sure as f**k don't move. Sometimes they actually all slow down together pinch.gif

Another example that happens all the time is that some f**ker will be in the right lane in an 80 zone. They are going 50 or 60kph. I overtake on the left and the f**kers will actually speed up to block you. This happened last weekend and the wanker actually went from 50 kph to 100 to stop me getting around him. WTF??? rant.gifrant.gifrant.gif

Oh and people pull in front of you with only a meter or 2 gap and one flash of the indicator (if you are lucky) as they finish cutting you off. I had a dude miss me by less than a meter on Saturday and he pulled in front of me with no indicator and he swerved like an idiot too. I honked and when we were at the next lights the fat old mangina just glared at me. rant.gifrant.gifrant.gif

On topic now sleep.gif The bus drivers here aren't too bad at all.

next time a bus driver is about to pull out of a bus stop, just stop next to him and slightly ahead of him just so he can't get out.

chuck your hazards on too. if he tries to reverse for room to pull out, reverse with him to keep blocking him off or there will

probably be other cars behind you to block him anyway, who are all probably beeping at you too. if he gets off the bus,

thats your green light lol

been wanting to do that, but never had the balls to lol

only incident apart from buses pulling out of the bus stops right in front of me (over it now, used to it)

was when i was going down mc kimmies, towards the dysons depot. was doing the limit of 70 and a "not in service"

bus came from plenty road and sat right on my ass, left no more than a foot's gap. without hesitation, i slowed

down to just under 40 and by that time he was already tooting while i flicked the bird at him.

just as i expected he tries to go on the opposite lane so i just let it go, cos by the time, we were already approaching a

roundabout which he almost collected a corolla.

i have no problems with people driving quickly to get somewhere, because who knows, they may have a sick family member,

wife's giving birth, needs to take a dump whatever. but when people sit on your ass, that's a whole different story.

    • Welcome to Skyline ownership. Yes, it is entirely possible parts websites get things wrong. There's a whole world of inaccuracies out there when it comes to R34 stuff (and probably 33 and 32). Lots of things that are 'just bolt on, entirely interchangable' aren't. Even between S1 and S2 R34's. Yes they have a GTT item supposedly being 296mm. This is incorrect. I would call whoever you got them from and return them and let them know the GTT actually uses 310mm rotors. Depending on where you got them from your experience and success will obviously vary.
    • Hi...a bit a "development" on the brakes. I spoke to the guys where i get brakes from...and they are saying that 296mm EBC are for R34 GT-T. I then went to their site: https://www.ebcbrakes.com/vehicle/uk-row/NISSAN/Skyline (R34)/ and search for my car(R34 GT 1998 - it has GTT brakes) and it show me this USR1229 number and they are rly 296mm rotors... So now iam rly confused... The rotors i have now on the car are 310mm asi shown... So where is the problem? Does the whole EBC got it wrong or my calipers are just...idk know what?  
    • Oh What the hell, I used to get a "are you sure you want to reply, this thread is XX months old" message. Maybe a software update remove that. My bad.
    • This is a recipe for disaster* Note: Disaster is relative. The thing that often gets lost in threads like this is what is considered acceptable poke and compromise between what one person considers 'good' looks and what someone else does. The quoted specs would sit absurdly outside the guards with the spacers mentioned and need  REALLY thin tyres and a LOT of camber AND rolling the guards to fit. Some people love this. Some people consider this a ruined car. One thing is for certain though, rolling the guards is pretty much mandatory for any 'good' fitment (of either variety). It is often the difference between any fitment remotely close to the guards. "Not to mention the rears were like a mm from hitting the coilovers." I have a question though - This spec is VERY close to what I was planning to buy relative to the inboard suspension - I have an offset measuring tool on the way to confirm it. When you say "like a mm" do you mean literally 1mm? Or 2mm? Cause that's enough clearance for me in the rear :p I actually found the more limiting factor ISNT the coilover but the actual suspension arms. Did you take a look at how close those were?
