^^^^^ what makes it good with doing a friendly thing like that is the sour pissed off look of the person in the mirror hahah

But sometimes you don't get that in return when your trying to merge is something that pisses me off. So I drive like a bull out of a gate when I am in a heap of public servant traffic.

I'm with Bren - gotta be an aggressive driver and be aware of all the dickheads around you. Can't get away with driving sedately in this town during peak hour, you'll end up being eaten alive.

Athlon and drakeford lights ............ T-bone accident at about 7.30am

There will be a road rage incident if this keeps up

BTW - I am not a calm driver. I would not say aggressive either tho.

Fkn pissed off = yes

I don't know.... I seem to be very calm. If someone cuts me off, I don't care, if someone lets 5 cars in, I don't care. If someone is stopped at the lights and I don't get to go through becuase they're sitting there on the green... I don't care. I guess I'm a very chilled person. I may make a comment if cut off or whatever, but it's not full on guns blazin'. Generally speaking, Canberra drivers seem to be a lot better than most around Australia (except for when it rains - everyone turns into an old lady driving 20kms under).

I'm a public servant and most of the time I'm in a rush - but I strategically place myself in better lanes so I avoid the "1 bllink-indercater cut off".

I usually only rage when people:

- Drive slow in the right hand lane or don't overtake

- Overtake and slow down

- Take a shortcut and drive slow (Lady Denman Drive)

Driving slower in the left hand lane is okay (not ridiculously slow though). Basically driving needs to be predictable. You can a shortcut to get some where quicker.

I'm with you^

I circumvent the road into the city near the lake/black Mtn to avoid the 60km zone where their doing all the road works (traffic travels a lot slower than 60km F#@cking C#NTS !) .

So do others and you know what - the c#cksuckers go just as slow. FFS stay on the main road you B!tches...

The road around the lake has some awesome windy bits with good camber - it's a race track.........................

Why everyone decides to slow down to form one lane ill never know, but Christ its annoying.

Helga, I would street fight a person if I didn't get through the lights coz they took off slow or I got cut off. You must be as calm as a Hindu cow behind the wheel...

I'm mad as hell.

Took well over an hour to get to work this morning.

Had to double back from just past woden turnoff to tuggers and come in via Woden to the city.

I hate to be callous but it had better have been good ones (many multiple fatality's).

Not just drivers too stupid to get there damaged cars off the road and gawkers. FFS

Yeah as I said. Im angry as. Shoot me !

Anyone know really WTF happend ?

So it took you 30 mins not 10? :laugh:

haha pretty much ! There is only one thing that makes me rage hardcore and that's a game called HoN. I go mental, everything else I seem to not care enough to get worked up. I do drop the mumbling "idiot" here and there though.

Purely because they cannot seem to comprehend the fact that you merge one from the left, then one from the right, and so on.

It's usually some annoying b*tch in a small car that thinks she has right of way above all, so then people have to brake to compensate.

Personally, as I've done before, I'll push people like that up the curb by turning towards their car

This. There are 2 significant occasions of "form one lane" for my drive home from work, and consistently at both of them there will always be someone who forces their way past me after the 2 lanes technically end....what the f**k?! Or should I say "attempts" to force their way past, as lately I'm taking your approach Tom by moving right over on top of them to force them to brake or bail further to the side.

f**k them.

best ever. I was going up Monaro where it goes right onto fairbairn ave and then left onto Majura. I was the front car with a truck behind me. right as i turned left to go onto the slip lane to go onto majura an rx8 comes flying up (past a 50+m gap between me and the truck) and tries to just cut infront of me. I just doubled down into second and planted it. he had to slam on brakes so he wouldn't hit the fking lights and then went behind me. Tried to take me at the first roundabout on majura and couldn't. On the second roundabout i saw a cop way ahead and let him past. he sped past me, gave me the finger and flawwed it. Little bit later i stroll past him gettign pulled over by the cop. Made my fking year.

Can't stand rude pricks like that on the road.

      Nismo GT Pro LSD configurations

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      No, you're wrong, and you've always been wrong about this. The Nismo has 2 sets of openings. One is a real 2-way, and the other is a 1-way. There is no 1.5-way possible with the ramps that they offer. A real 1.5-way does exist. That Cusco stuff I posted is a prime example. If the forward drive ramps are, say 55°, and the overrun ramps are, say, 30°, then you will get about half as much LSD effect on overrun than you do on drive. It is real, it realy works. OK, you're slightly right. The Nismo has 55° and 45° ramps on the 2-way, so it does offer less LSD effect on overrun. But, I think that just means that they've (probably) sensibly established that you do not want actually equal LSD effect on overrun. You just want "quite a lot, but not quite as much as the drive LSD effect".

      Nismo GT Pro LSD configurations

      By Kinkstaah · Posted

      Yea, that is what I was getting at in my ramblings too. The nismo one actually is a 1.5 way and a 1 way. They don't do a *2* way because a true *2* way would have equal ramp angles. Or is that a true 1.5 way? Realistically I think a "1.5 way" does not actually exist. A diff can either lock in two directions or one. It also doesn't help that a LOT of people in Australia speak about 1.5 way diffs are referring to their 1 way diff.

      Nismo GT Pro LSD configurations

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      Well, the trouble with that ^^ is: The configuration shown is absolutely a 1-way, not a 1.5-way. There is no way that a 1.5-way can be said to offer LSD action only on acceleration. If Nismo cannot get that right, then it is impossible to believe their documentation. That ^ is not a 1.5 way setup. That is a 1-way.   And so now I have allowed all doubts to flourish and have gone back to look at the MotoIQ video. I originally made the mistake of believing him when he said "this is a 1.5-way" at the ~6:10 mark. Because what he did was take the gear assembly out of the 2-way opening and just rotate it one place to the left to drop it into the 1-way opening. When he dropped it in there, the cam was "backwards" compared to the correct orientation shown in all other photos of that config. The flat shold have been facing the 1° ramp side of the opening, not the 55° ramp side. And I thought, "gee that's cute", but I was concerned at the time, when he put the other ring back on, that the gap between the rings looked like it was wider then in the 2-way config. And then I said a lot of things in my long post on Tuesday that could only make sense if the guy from MotoIQ was correct about what he'd done. BUT... I have now done my homework. I grabbed a frame of the video with the 2-way config, and then grabbed another with the "1.5-way" config, snipped out the cam and opening of that frame and just pasted it direct on top of the 2-way config. I scaled it so that the triangular opening was almost exactly the same height in both. AND.... the gap between the plates is wider with the cam installed in the triangualr opening backwards. That is.... it cannot go together that way. There would be massive force on the plates all the time, if you could even reassemble it.  So, My statement on the matter? The Nismo diff is actually only a 2-way and 1-way. There is no 1.5-way option in it, regardless of what they say. Here's a photo of a real 1.5-way ramp opening from Cusco (along with the 1 way option). And the full set of 1 through 2 way options from their racing diff, which is not same-same as what we'd typically be using, but...the cams work the same. A little blurry, but it comes from this Cusco doc, which is quite helpful. AND.... Cusco do in fact do what I suggested would be sensible, which is to have rings that do 1 and 1.5, and 1.5 and 2. Separately.
