Amaru has a nasty Tailgating story :(

He doesn't learn either

lol

what is this crap? :( :Oops:

Coming home today this chick in a yellow N12? (the reebok shape ones) decided to tailgate me the whole way from woden to tuggeranong, as in really close. I had to brake semi hard a few times and she almost ran into the back of me every time (it looked like she had to go up the gutter once so she didnt hit me!) yet after these close encounters, she stilled stayed right up my ass. And from the existing damage on the front of the car, it looks like shes already rear ended 1, if not more people.

Since moving up from Melbourne, I've discovered that Canberra drivers have serious problems with tailgating. For the most part I find it's not an aggresive thing, rather just a thoughtless thing.

I do have to admit, I myself have relaxed the accelerator foot slightly since moving here from Melbourne - it's just too easy to get away with speeding here. But I definitely don't tailgate.

Canberra people love tailgating and sitting in the right lane. it's a bad habit that's wiped onto me. i still notice myself doing it though and slightly hit the brakes. canberra drivers are a bad influence on me since i moved here

I drive a GTIR, and I similar harassment from SSS drivers trying to get me to run them.

But one thing: I dont care if your 'overtaking' people in the right lane, if you holding someone up, you dont have the right to be there.

All it takes is two seconds of your time to get back into the left lane and let the R31 be on his way.

Hmm, i can remember at one stage, when i was doing log book with a driving instructor in an old Corolla or something, i had this dickhead BMW driver right on my tail. i was doing the speed limit and all, and we were coming to a set of lights. Being prolly only my third hour behind the wheel of a manual i was...crap...to say the least. Anyways, lights go green and....i stall. finally get the car going as the lights go orange and make it around. BMW got stuck at the lights. Damn funny. Perhaps if he hadn't been tailgaiting me. :P

    • I might be way off the mark here.. there must be a T junction under the manifold. That takes manifold pressure through a check valve prior to the T, one side splits out to this bleed off orifice, the other straight to the wastegate actuators. 
    • Carrying out some engine due diligence before my first drive in a 260RS that has been in storage for 10+ years, and found two lines that are susposed to be plumbed into the boost control solenoid. One of the lines (the wastegate boost supply line) to actuate the gates, had a bolt in one end blocking it. The other line (main boost signal line) from the very rear of the intake manifold (RB26DETT) and runs up to the boost controller had this pill in the end of it as seen in photos. Other than the obvious (T28 Ceramic turbos might well be cooked)  Can anyone shed any light on if there is any validity at all with this mod, bleeding a constant fixed rate of manifold boost pressure off through this 3mm hole?  Is it deliberate?  Was this a 90s Jap mod done to RB26's? Or has someone just fitted this without any idea of what happens to ceramic T28s if they are not gate controlled?    
    • This looks great! Awesome to have the 5 speed with an LSD in this. The Recaro's look like SR2's or SR3's. It's a shame they've been retrimmed as they would have looked sweet in their original colours. I think I'd want my agent to be a little more up front and informative too. I've never imported but I reckon it would make me a little nervous, so the more info the better.
    • Thanks for doing that Duncan! Makes you a good person in my books. We don't get kangaroos or wombats here. But we have bats and it's similar. AFAIK it's often the mums with a baby attached that get hit because they drop lower when starting from a tree. If you hit an animal, check on it. https://www.ifaw.org/au/resources/wildlife-rescue-app An app to get the closest wildlife rescue contact.
