Its scary to realise how many people don't know basic road rules and think they have right of way.. This OP was doing the speed limit, he overtook a truck which should be doing less and in this case was as the OP was overtaking it, he isn't doing anything wrong (until he slows down) but the tard in the 33 was speeding and tailgating. If the knobhead 33 driver wasnt a tool and was doing 110 he would have passed the truck anyway. Sure it was wrong to slow down but these days there are that many wankers on the roads who do not know or care for the rules it ruins a simple drive to work/shops etc. The dumb shits bagging out the original poster need to look at themselves and just say out loud, "Im a shit driver with no road courtesy for others". Too much Need For Speed and Autobarn dreaming.

If i may just add my 2c ...

The law based on the RTA (or TRMS or whatever you want to call them now) is to actually slow down when you have someone tailgating or "being up your ass"

This is so if you indeed need to slam on the brakes for whatever reason there wont be another car in your passenger seat when you do.

Dont ask me exactly where this is in the book/website but this exact question was part of my license test several years ago.

How do you know that the guy wasn't in a hurry for some kind of emergency? Its pretty simple... The right lane is for overtaking, and if someone comes up behind you just move over... Don't get the shits that someone is going faster than you and slow down and block them with a truck and then come on a forum whinging about it...

^^^ Correct

John Cadogan media advisor for NRMA is a big stickler for TRAFFIC FLOW.

Sure, drivers may occupy a spot according to their perceived rights, but responsibility will always exceed rights!

Responsibility for improved traffic flow is to complete your own overtaking manoeuvre and pull back into lane 2 or 1 in a multilane highway.

John is also an advocate for "P" platers to be able to go up to maximum speed limits on highways/motorways to not disrupt traffic flow!

Too bad that all is logical, because RTA has an anti-logic policy :angry:

HAHAH that is awesome, i would shake the cops hand for that, i drive the F3 from the coast to sydney and back every day for work and the amount of times im in the left lane going faster then the ppl in the right lane is a joke, and i think the guy with the camera in that is also a cop, have a look at the Yellow vest he has on in the mirror has the blue and white checker on it :D

Ha thanks for that Terry! Exactly we need more of that!

I think everyone is in agreement here that yes the overtaking lane is for overtaking. Not sitting there in your own world.

Alex though I think was saying it was the acts of what the driver did that shouldn't be condoned as in the aggressive behaviour or "road rage".

I think he admitted to knowing what he did wasn't right but rather just at a point of frustration which really is not an excuse and only adds to the problem.

However, I also agree that the RTA does not help in these sorts of things at all.

While it is an offence which holds a fine and 3 demerit points, tailgating is still an issue.

And this becomes an even greater issue when people don't move out of the right/overtaking lane.

I think Terry summed it up the best in the statement of Traffic Flow and that's what we should be aiming for.

      http://calfinn.com.au/product/1500kg-standard-trolley-jack-cj-2t-c/1500kg-standard-trolley-jack-cj-2t-c   I have this and fits under a S3 33 GTR with no issues. Purchased in 2009 and not one issue. It was $950 back then. Not cheap but something so important isn’t worth cheaping out on.

      Just trying to get my head around this. At 5psi of boost, you turn on your wmi pump, and then you're using a 3000cc injector, to allow flow upto the actual engine, where you have your 6x200cc injectors and a 500cc injector. If the above is correct, what advantage are you obtaining by having the 3000cc injector blocking flow, is this just incase a line breaks between that injector and the motor you can stop flow immediately? Or are the 6x200cc and 500cc less injectors and just spray nozzle?

      Intro/R33 owner

      By f00stx · Posted

      Welcome! New member myself, but I had an R33 back in 2002. Best advice I could give, based on my experience: if you're running the factory turbo, be very conservative with boost. I made the mistake of just fiddling around with the boost controller and cranking the boost for fun, and the end result was my intake pipes popping off frequently from the constant deluge of oil that was being blown into the recirc by the stressed-out turbo, which itself was siphoning oil from the engine and farting it out both sides of its centre bearing (or something to that effect). If I could do it all again, I would have gotten a new turbo and had a tune dialled in professionally and then just left it alone! Funny you mention the metal shavings in the gearbox, as I had the same thing - the probe plug (magnetic drain plug, essentially) would come out caked with shavings. At least it was doing its job. Not sure if that's just sacrificial wear and part of the deal, or if my gearbox was shagged, but I wasn't abusing it. Enjoy the R33 - they're a dying breed, and if they weren't $35k+ on CarSales in Queensland, I might have picked up one of those again, instead of the 370GT I own now (though I'm loving the 370GT, that big 3.7L V6 just hits different).

      Howdy folks. I owned an R33 back in 2002, which was thoroughly beyond my capacity (financially speaking) to maintain/insure, so we parted ways in 2004. Fast forward 21 years (to literally yesterday, in fact) and I'm now the proud owner of a 2007 V36 370GT. I'm happily surprised by how much power the VQ37VHR makes, compared to the RB25DET, considering the latter is turbocharged. I had planned to add a turbo at some point but I'm on the fence about whether I'll even need it (though I do love the sudden onset of extra torque). Any other 370GT owners around the traps, I'd love to hear about your experiences with this car (good and bad).

      Perhaps the answer is... more jacks!* *proper jacks must be used.
