could be that the driver of the skyline was trying to fight the truck driver (hitting the truck, banging on the window, etc) so the truck driver did what he had to to get away from the violent guy in the skyline. seems plausible with the fact that the skyline driver was out of the car

To me it's pretty clear.

Skyline is waiting for that car with the reverse lights on to pull out and thus to grab the park.

Must have been waiting for a long time so he gets out and goes over to the car to see if the park will eventuate.

Truck driver has had enough and decides to go around, jumps the divider which prompts Skyline guy that he's probably blocked the road long enough.

Truck driver then finds his road blocked by various signs.

Reverses back with increasing fury almost cleaning up Skyline guy.

Rage then takes over and truck driver has always wanted to drive a dozer.

Anyway..............

lol at some of the replies in this thread, shit would get real if the 'Line driver is an SAU member and can answer some of of these pertinent questions.

agree on the meeting of two douches, if traffic is backed up that much he must have been sitting there for ages, still nothing justifies the clearly insane actions of the truck driver, clearly he has some serious mental issues that need to be addressed.

Terry, maybe you could help him out?

I think you've just about nailed it jiff :thumbsup:

If you can bring him along all wrapped up Patty...

I'll see what I can do with my voodoo needles :P

"may have to pay for damages to the fence and the car"

may???! more like definitely has to pay.

feel sorry for the bloke in the skyline

i hope this idiot truck driver gets the jail time, what an complete idiot.

and here we are with the news and media labelling us import drivers as hoons.

it happens all the time, fking idiots in their work utes think they own the road and speedpass and beep and abuse me when i'm doing the speed limit.

This happens to me too. I think my speedo reads a bit faster than I'm really going compared with my GPS, but still there's something else going on.

One day I was driving past a known place where a speed camera van sets up, and was doing the speed limit. Some idiot in a hatchback behind me is virtually touching my car he's so close. I'm in the fast lane and traffic in the slow lane is doing 80km in a 100km zone. So I kept going until I could pull over to the left lane. But as soon as I was about to this guy speeds past me, then cuts in front of me. He was so close I'm convinced to this day he was trying to clip me. Then the f**kwit slams on his brakes while we're doing 100km. Luckily I was alert otherwise I would have smashed right into him. Plus it happened quite quickly too so further advice to always stay on your toes. Now I was infuriated and thought about chasing after this prick. Heck I wouldn't have known what to do even if I did chase him down, but I kept going on my way to work.

There are some real assholes on the roads now days. Now I like to push the +10% on the speed limit, especially on the motorway in the 110km zones, but it seems alot of other drivers do the same. Still I've had more dickheads tailgate me while I've been a Skyline owner than any other car. Could be the locations, or it could be something else.

A Skyline on Moorebank Ave tried to overtake a turning truck into work today at about 2:30, he got on his horn and yelled abuse at the truck driver, the Skyline driver obviously didn't see the huge signs on the truck or its blinker, the people standing on the corner did though.

It's not just the truckdrivers that pay no attention to the road laws it seems.

my question is, to all those who think that the skyline guy did absolutely nothing wrong other than hold up traffic, why did someone decide to record it? the footage starts when the guy is already out of the car, especially when the guy holding the camera is yelling out "smash him". so until other info is provided i will stick to my story that the guy in the skyline got out to argue with the truck driver.

I can also argue for an opposed balanced view without insisting that the Skyline driver was without any shred of blame.

If the vid operator was so one-eyed about the truck driver being in the right, he would have hidden this footage would he not?

It was so obviously incriminating of the truck driver being the antagonist and the Line driver appearing to be the passive party that if I was the vid taker, I wouldn't have even thought of considered handing over this footage.

The funny thing is the truck looks like one from the people that live over the road from my parents. I wouldn't put it past them being involved either. On the upside though it was only a R33 :P

how DARE you!!

    • For once a good news  It needed to be adjusted by that one nut and it is ok  At least something was easy But thank you very much for help. But a small issue is now(gearbox) that when the car is stationary you can hear "clinking" from gearbox so some of the bearing is 100% not that happy... It goes away once you push clutch so it is 100% gearbox. Just if you know...what that bearing could be? It sounding like "spun bearing" but it is louder.
    • Yeah, that's fine**. But the numbers you came up with are just wrong. Try it for yourself. Put in any voltage from the possible range and see what result you get. You get nonsense. ** When I say "fine", I mean, it's still shit. The very simple linear formula (slope & intercept) is shit for a sensor with a non-linear response. This is the curve, from your data above. Look at the CURVE! It's only really linear between about 30 and 90 °C. And if you used only that range to define a curve, it would be great. But you would go more and more wrong as you went to higher temps. And that is why the slope & intercept found when you use 50 and 150 as the end points is so bad halfway between those points. The real curve is a long way below the linear curve which just zips straight between the end points, like this one. You could probably use the same slope and a lower intercept, to move that straight line down, and spread the error out. But you would 5-10°C off in a lot of places. You'd need to say what temperature range you really wanted to be most right - say, 100 to 130, and plop the line closest to teh real curve in that region, which would make it quite wrong down at the lower temperatures. Let me just say that HPTuners are not being realistic in only allowing for a simple linear curve. 
    • I feel I should re-iterate. The above picture is the only option available in the software and the blurb from HP Tuners I quoted earlier is the only way to add data to it and that's the description they offer as to how to figure it out. The only fields available is the blank box after (Input/ ) and the box right before = Output. Those are the only numbers that can be entered.
    • No, your formula is arse backwards. Mine is totally different to yours, and is the one I said was bang on at 50 and 150. I'll put your data into Excel (actually it already is, chart it and fit a linear fit to it, aiming to make it evenly wrong across the whole span. But not now. Other things to do first.
    • God damnit. The only option I actually have in the software is the one that is screenshotted. I am glad that I at least got it right... for those two points. Would it actually change anything if I chose/used 80C and 120C as the two points instead? My brain wants to imagine the formula put into HPtuners would be the same equation, otherwise none of this makes sense to me, unless: 1) The formula you put into VCM Scanner/HPTuners is always linear 2) The two points/input pairs are only arbitrary to choose (as the documentation implies) IF the actual scaling of the sensor is linear. then 3) If the scaling is not linear, the two points you choose matter a great deal, because the formula will draw a line between those two points only.
