Is it just me or are more and more people stopping at the white line on a green light and waiting until there is no cars for 3km before they go? Then the poor bastards behind them get the red light!

Annoys the f**k out of me.

Annoys the f**k out of me. If i can, i go around them. Then they make a big deal like i did something wrong...

Correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't that the law? Wait till a space before leaving the white line..?

- technically you're meant to make a judgement; if you see that you can make it through the intersection in time, then move forward and go as soon as safe to do so, BUT yes some people tend to wait for a mile of space, thats in all situations, changing lanes and all...

But in this case you're meant to continue through the intersection soon as its safe to turn, and if you're already over the white line, you have to finish the turn even if its on the red, because you can and will get booked if you are sitting in the middle of the intersection when its red.

- if you're unable to judge properly the time and distance needed to make the turn then you're best to wait behind the white line, since most ppl do, because some ppl make driving look like a chore :P

People tend to make driving a task, when its not. and dont get me started on this NEW roundabout 'law' that seems to be making its way to the eastern states.....LOL

i was always told (truth or not) you can roll up over the line and wait to turn safely

though u do need to have your wheel pointing straight in case your hit from the rear and sent into on coming traffic...

If your over the line you need to cross once the cars on the other side of the road has stopped so ur not caught in the middle of the intersection (even though ur half running a red light)

thats what i thought anyway

Not just turning, just this morning there was a lady driver who stopped in the white line on a green light and there was at least 5 car space in front of her...

I was behind her and manage to sneak behind her on a amber light, but poor guys at the back

I think it's a f**cking good thing that people are being so cautious as that's how a dickhead P plater wrote my 32 off.. I was the poor sucker heading straight through the lights when he tried to take a gap that wasn't there and failed miserably.

You should have boosted it. = happy ending

Not nearly as bad as those who don't seem to understand how a traffic light without a green arrow (not red neither) but with the normal forward green light means that you can make your right hand turn as long as there are no incoming traffic!

So many times some clueless moron just sit there behind the line while there are no incoming traffic coming at all & wait out for the green arrow to reappear which won't until the next light cycle.

      I wasn’t able to replicate the sound anymore. It was a one time sound so maybe it was just coincidence but it was like small pebbles being dropped in a coke can.   should I try cleaning the MAF? It could be it’s functioning but dirty? I don’t know.

      Update 4: Hi all. The car drives again! Haven't driven for long, only to store it in the garage again, but the test drive was successful. The coolant and oil leaks seem to be fixed for now. Temps on the engine were also very good, while moving I never even saw 80C water during the approx. 30 minute drive. Ate up all the coolant in the reservoir though so will have to fill that even more when I go to the car next time. One thing that pisses me off is that the RPM gauge is still f**ked, I even resoldered the board twice and used copper paste on the silly screws that are used as connections. Next time I take it out I'll take apart the board and fit new components, I'll see if I can get a replacement IC for it.  I have an appointment set for 22nd of September for the engine tune to 370hp. Alignment also still needs to be done. My hope is that I can get all the legal stuff over with by the end of this season. Anyone of you have advice regarding intercoolers? Currently there is an APEXI core fitted, one of those weird hybrid ones, 600x270x76. I don't think it's bad but it's not new and now I still have the chance to change it now to legally include it in the paperwork. Only issue is that the only options that would arrive in time are a HKS Type R intercooler or generic Ebay spec intercoolers comparable to a JustJap one. Ideally I'd order a Plazmaman but it takes over a month to receive which would mean making the car legal has to wait until next season. Would love to hear some input on this. Same story for my injectors, the previous owner was a nunce and put ID 1050x on the engine. They work but are obviously not ideal at "normal" power levels. But I don't see a reason to change them unless the tuner says it's necessary. I read online before buying a different exhaust that the top secret style rear diffusers won't fit due to the size of the rear resonators. My buddy and I made it work by slightly "adjusting the shape" of the mounting bracket and making some spacers out of 3d print for the mounting bolts. Fits like a charm. Just putting this here in case someone has this problem. Even the hefty HKS Silent Hi Power rear can fits without hitting anything.

      ECU sees many times the speed than speedo does (R34 swap)

      It's needed for rolling idle up, and I think it is a decider on VCT also.

      I mean, not really. Link ECU's can absolutely still have errors from the ECU thinking it's getting a sensor it's not expecting. I would imagine the speed at the ECU level in Nistune does absolutely nothing anyway? I assume the ECU does not do any fancy TC stuff with regards to front+rear wheel speed or anything of that like anyway. Someone who uses Nistune may be more fluent in it.
