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.

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

    • All the above effort, time, swapping out parts in the dark (i.e. no O2 data). You're literally running in the dark.
    • Looks like both of my cars have pressure switch issues. The R32 GTR has 18 flashes on the ATTESSA controller which is "ETS pressure switch circuit". The 4WD light is intermittent, and often just restarting the car clears it. There is an $300 replacement option https://www.ebay.com.au/itm/285675135148?itmmeta=01HXN3YKRGKQ08GRZ5KFKKZWJT&hash=item428390a0ac:g:6CcAAOSwWxBltMEG so if it becomes a permanent issue and I can confirm that the switch is the issue, i have a solution. The NM35 is reporting C1208, and disconnecting the switch causes the 4WD light to go away. Translating from the Japanese shop manual "when the pressure is reduced to 2.6MPa (377 psi) or less: conduction occurs when the pressure increases to 3.8MPa (550 psi) or less: conduction is present. Reference: • Immediately after the E-TS actuator motor stops, the pressure inside the accumulator is high and there is no continuity." Not sure how good the translation is but from what i can deduce this means the switch is normally closed (NC) and as the pressure builds from 0 to 550 psi the switch stays closed, then opens and 550 psi. As the pressure drops from 550 psi to 377 psi the switch stays open then closes again at 377 psi. Is that how these things work? These pressures are a lot higher than the R32 ("control pressure 0-228 psi") but i'm hoping i can find a generic switch (like they've done for the R32) to use as a replacement. Maybe something like https://www.ebay.com.au/itm/355586397452?epid=1676016964&itmmeta=01HXN534AF22ACTG6TGDDQGEQ7&hash=item52ca99d50c:g:mAEAAOSw8ilmBcMh&itmprp=enc%3AAQAJAAAA8LtWdNlWHgyJ%2F3cbw25S2A1lde3qBi3fJii4T3lQavCz4kpqiD42SmBa4FocMvXCjcxiowHjb8vZ8%2BWxc53BkHv781tkStSnCDaenfGKC3bIp0keK20dfsn9LoPa3TfqaEmAydqqyKobgTdXsGGzsl%2BRjOVGuD8OIpOv%2B0wMl7aUtHg0iJtojbtzA%2BRS8Xfm8Ufjuvz4niwrqglAXFUbkL6J%2FGuHPeeECZhLBBN3iNM1Swl94Fv5zE95YK%2B5O6dxDN1ySNOjdMxkA8yaprbuwRHFQv1nlGh%2FWjekj6EUFR2%2FO4HTsoKtSAkY0Mj1w1uf1w%3D%3D|tkp%3ABk9SR6zFjKXtYw but with a lower close pressure, and thread adapter if required. Am i dreaming?
    • That is a dead f**king short of B+ to ground. Scary.
    • 10-15 years ago, the answer would always be buy a good import motor and so many machine shops make.a hash of an engine rebuild, or they think they are some sort of RB magicians and want 40k.      Now as others have stated, you are buying a VERY old used motor. So rebuild is the correct answer.  Just finding a machine shop that will both do a good job and charge you a regular price is now your challenge.
