Coming down King Georges in the middle lane... Asian lady merges from Punchbowl Rd and instead of staying in the empty left hand lane decides to come straight across into the my lane with no indicator whilst she is only travelling about 20-30kmh and me and the rest of the traffic are going about 60.

She was only a few metres in front of me when she pulled into my lane, So I swerved into the right lane to miss her but there was a car in my blind spot.

A guy pulled over and told me he saw it all and it was 100% her fault and gave me his details to use as a witness, Im just hoping the insurance company sees it the same way.

Cops came but apparently they don't decide who is at fault as that is the insurance companies job. How much of a croc of shit is that! The people with a financial interest in the accident are the ones who decides who has to pay, not the actual police... seems ludicrous...

Did you get her number plates? Also, isn't she only at fault if you actually hit her, which is always the better thing to do, rather then swerving to car next to you.

Of course, unless she pulls over and admits fault.

He has not changed a bit so it's all good...

Great meal, great company... pity about those who thought it was about "getting to the place first" ... :domokun:

Great night out with great company! Great meal too. Thanks again for organising!

Sorry to hear Jarryd! That sucks! Hope all goes well with the insurance company.

Looking forward to the next one! :-)

Wow, sorry to hear that jarryd, and i'd be gettin a few quotes too. Looks like someone was rubbing their hands together when they saw you coming.

damn! that sucks big ball sack.

Same thing happened to me on the m4 last year when i had my old car. Bastard was merging into my lane whilst i was beeping the crap out of my horn, and i didnt want to hit him at 110km/h so i swerved to the left, broke hard and car lost control. Was heading straight for the metal barrier with the mrs in the passenger seat, but controlled it enough to just swipe the side. AAAAAANNNND the bastard just kept driving.

ANYWAYS, pizza run? what? can i come toooooooo

    • Yes to both! Yes to standard ECU and tune, but exhaust is aftermarket. Unsure on brand. Actually have it sitting in at my desk haha! I have to set it up on my laptop but this is a great next step, will do. So I generally try to shift before 4.5K RPM most times. I largely don't do a lot of high-rev driving, but I will take it up to red 1-2x a week max, as I know the occasional "Italian tune-up" is good for these cars.  Oh wow, is this way better than what I'm getting. Does this mean there's a good chance I have an issue?   Thanks for all the info so far guys.
    • Old Son, did you re-use the Holden ABS in the new shell or try a different module?
    • Yeah, nah. I had the actuator rod off it today. The arm will not move at all. Neither out, nor in. Yeah, you'd think so, but I've been thinking about that. Even when the actuator rod fell all the way off at the beginning of this saga, it would build more boost and faster in lower gears than it would in higher gears, and you'd think that that was the opposite of what should happen. But I strongly suspect that there is a thing with the gearing getting the revs to rise faster, that there must be some transient effect with the gas flow rate rising quickly, that you don't get with the more steady state case of the higher gears. Keep in mind - the gate is not shut in either of my weirdnesses. So things are not "normal". We normally think about a turbo spooling up (below the wastegate target) with the gate shut. I have all sorts of mental models running now where the gate is a little bit open, and having it stuck open allowing gas out while it should be going through the turbine has all sorts of weird effects (in these mental models). I'm thinking in the higher gears, the ex mani pressure builds to the point where enough gases spill out the wastegate to just prevent the pressure rising much more at all, or just creeping up, all the whole the revs are increasing and getting closer to the point where a gear shift becomes necessary.
    • Is it possibly wastegate actuator itself is sticking, or even the rod to flapper? Otherwise I reckon things are getting a bit rusty/worn   Also odd it won't boost in 3rd to 5th, but will in 1st, I'd expect the other way around with it slightly open as there's more time on your way to redline for it to spin up
    • Does anyone know ow what these two plugs are for and if they should be unplugged? Just put the dash back together and can't remember if these were plugged in before or unplugged! (Blue and white plugs) 🤦🏽‍♂️
