Yes.

Apparently ended up in internal disciplinary action for the driver, as it was not his first time.

He cut me off, drastically, so that I had to take evasive action. After I beeped, he then flipped me off and continued to do so up until I pulled over and attempted to gain entry to the bus. He mellowed out after that

Didn't get touched.

Did you get hit?

My old housemate got rear ended, with the driver just driving off.

Ended up going through his insurance, but driver disputed it, claiming my housemate pulled into his lane, reducing his stopping distance

I didn't get hit. Stopped pretty close though. Thank gawd for ebc pads! The backs feel like they have flat spots and I'm also getting a lot of vibration from both rear wheels. Might give the insurer the heads up.

Edit: could be in for rotors and rubber if this resulted in some damage. Am also picking up some noise from the wheel bearings. It's too wet to go and check right now but will ASAP.

lol... You braked hard to avoid an impact (as brakes are designed for) and now something is wrong and you think they should fix it?

lol... You got no chance mate.

sounds like your car was not road worthy if shit is broken from braking hard.

lol. It was 60 down to 0 very quickly,. All I'm saying is something isn't right. They've fixed wheels and tyres before when it;s been their fault. Shall hear back next week and go from there.

If you hit a pothole and damaged a rim, I could understand that council may be liable (stretch but still maybe).

If you are driving along doing 60 and a grandma in a hybrid camry pulls out of her parking spot without looking and you jump on the brakes and do a little ABS skiddie and don't have an accident, but later you feel that the rear brakes are a bit weird, is it her fault?

I can't see how someone you "almost" had an accident with could be liable for something on your car failing when used as intended.

Just means that the now faulty part was not road worthy.

If you give first gear a push and hit the limiter, then the next day you find an oil leak, are you calling up Nissan?

i had a bus pull out of a bus stop and nearly take me out one day. i know you are supposed to give way to them etc, but he didn't put the indicator on until i had just passed the back corner of the bus and then just pulled out straight away.

talking to a mate who used to be a bus driver, or work in the management side of things (can't remember which), he said that drivers are supposed to wait something like 4 seconds after they put the indicator on before they even attempt to pull out. on the other hand though, he also said that with the new LED indicators on a lot of buses these days, they can take up to a few seconds to start to flash after the driver puts the indicator on. so that just screws everything up.

I'm glad to hear no one got hurt.

Happens on the Goldie as well. Every time I see a bus at a bus stop I try immediately to merge into the other (right) lane if there is one as IMO they don't give a sh!t about you.

Yes, I understand they have a schedule to run and considering roadworks, school zones, etc... they are always under pressure to meet that schedule hence, why they are pressed for to make up time but at what costs?

HOWEVER.....just because we need to give way to them doesn't mean that they have to be arrogant and abuse it and more importantly tag innocent motorists because of that.

I'm certain its been brought up many times before with translink, Qld transport and other authorities, but bottom line is that justice does not prevail. In addition to that the public transport is already bad as it is

What they fail to realise is that if there is a severe prang resulting from such a situation NO ONE is better off as the bus will be reported in an accident, the passengers may be injured, the bus gets nowhere, passengers get nowhere, the car will be totaled and the driver will be mangled, and bus driver will be let off with slap on the wrist.

Its really about time theses bus drivers start thinking a bit more about safety of the passengers and other motorist instead of just a f@#king timetable which already late anyways.

There I feel better and I hope you do too.

To the people that said t they got the driver fired or disciplinary action taken against them. Do you actually have any proof of this happening other than a letter saying action has been taken?

      S1 rb25/s14 starting problem

      By 25zenki · Posted

      Harness is for a s1 Rb25det, and it is engine and lower harness.  the old harness had broken off plugs and was in very rough condition/exposed wires and splices etc. it is not able to be put back on the car, I could visually inspect to see if they had rewired any pins on the ecu plug. The fuel pump definitly isn’t turning off it’s an external pump and very loud you can hear it. Will look at the other harness tonight, am also going to pull the fuel rail and watch the injectors spray, will update here with what I find. Pretty sure at this point it has to be something to do with injectors because car will fire up on starting fluid and cas is clicking the Injectors. Fuel pressure is steady 43psi

      Check the injectors flow evenly, and are actually flowing what you and the ECU think they should be flowing. If it's starting up on starter fluid, you have a fuel issue. Is it possible under cranking your fuel pump is turning off?   The harness you replaced, is that the whole engine harness? Do yourself a test, and drop the old harness on and plug it into the Z32 ECU. It's possible they've wired things different. From memory S1 to S2 is different in RB25 and you may have a wrong loom

      S1 rb25/s14 starting problem

      By 25zenki · Posted

      I haven’t pulled the injectors to watch them spray yet but they are clicking from the cas and all of the spark plugs are wet with fuel. I’ve thought the cylinders were being flooded from the beginning and was hoping fuel pressure would fix it. Tonight I am going to pull the rail and watch the injectors spray. Don’t know how to test/diagnose if the plugs are firing in correct sequence but that should be a timing thing and as far as timing goes my car still has the half moon for the cas can only install it 1 way. And my mechanical timing is 100% correct I posted photos above. Confirmed with the balancer on and off.

      I checked spark on all cylinders and they all visually have spark with the plug pulled and grounded, but plug 1 is the only one that fouled. This was a running swap that blew up and was rebuilt by a machine shop, put a new wiring specialties harness and did all gaskets, studs, and bolts while it was out.  compression is 135-150 across all cylinders. Aside from that from my understanding with the z32 ecu and maf the car should start regardless. The wiring for TPS and the dual 02 sensor/ dual knock sensor stuff shouldn’t actually stop the car from starting or even running well, (just slightly rich)  they just give fault codes. Car supposedly is supposed to start as long as you have z32 afm and ecu with the nistune base map and that’s info coming from a well known and trusted tuner who does a lot with SR/RB (Rsenthalpy). After more trouble shooting today where I’m at right now is that the cas is sending signal to the injectors they click while spinning the rotor, Fuel pressure is now set at 43psi, all cylinders have good compression and all of the plugs looked great (just wet with fuel) except for cylinder 1 which was very black (cylinder 1 has 150psi compression). all of the coils generate spark if pulled out and grounded out on the head. On the fuel pump car just pops into the exhaust. On starting fluid car will fire off. Hard to tell if all cylinders are firing off but definitley a couple. sounds like all of them but it’s only for 3-5 seconds hard to tell.
