Hi all, I'm not one to post on forums but I have just witnessed a great thing! I was on the eastern minding my own business when I noticed an unmarked silver ve. To all the ignorant drivers doing 90-95 in the right lane he would pull in behind them turn the lights on and make them move across. It was great to see!!!! This is the problem, this is what causes road rage and erratic driving/speeding, we need more police to teach etiquette on our roads like this guy :)

So hats off to you sir, job well done...

absolutly,

in the UK and allot of europe, common drivers will pull behind you and flash you back over if coastin in the overtaking lane and undertaking is frowned uppon. which is how it should be.

He should be fining them, that would then be awesome and actually making a difference because hate to say it, but it was unlikely he was doing it to let them know they were in the wrong...

More likely all he wanted to do was get to the area around the Chandler fast as possible so he could set-up for revenue raising hour of people coming inbound/speeding like normal in the arvo.

Add to it that people may not have known what they were doing wrong unless he pulled them over and told them.

Being boxed in by these people is the most frustrating thing. Sometimes I get high beamed when I overtake them too...

Mad dog.

I always hear stories of cops being dickheads to my mates. But then I realised a key fact oblivious at first.

My mates are dickheads themselves.

If they were cops they would be the nastiest fu(kers ever.

Attitude goes along way when dealing with the law.

Don't get caught doing something naughty. And they love the "Yes officer, no officer, 3 bags full officer"

I knew as I wrote this post someone would put a negative spin on the story as I would have but he clearly had no where to go as he sat in traffic on Alexandra pde. I was completely shocked to see it myself, but it was great!

Right hand lane is also a transit lane in morning peak hour...meaning if you are not a truck, taxi, commercial vehicle or dont have 2 or more people in your car you are not actually allowed in it...

Not that anybody ever pays attention to this....

Until police actually police it - ie - fining them - flashing some lights because he is in a hurry to get somewhere will do nothing to stop the problem.

Just means you sit behind them and get a nice run down the Eastern, i get that now and again, works well. :)

      Might import a stagea

      By iamhe77 · Posted

      Not sure the US can import anything other than the C34 Stagea's, but if you can and you need to to tow, DO NOT under any circumstances get an M35 Stagea. If it is just as a family car and your country/state allows it, absolutely and definitely get an M35 (3.5L if possible as it is effectively a 350Z) over a C34.

      Thanks for that, I'll check it all out. I can always do the brakes last anyway if its a problem.  The 16's are super cool, if they do fit I'll cruise around with them for a bit.

      Well, that's kinda the point. The calipers might interfere with the inside of the barrels 16" rims are only about 14" inside the barrels, which is ~350mm, and 334mm rotors only leave about 8mm outboard for the caliper before you get to 350, And.... that;s not gunna be enough. If the rims have a larger ID than that, you might sneak it in. I'd be putting a measuring stick inside the wheel and eyeballing the extra required for the caliper outboard of the rotor before committing to bolting it all on.

      Neil's R33 Gts-t Build

      By Duncan · Posted

      OK, so again it has been a bit of a break but it was around researching what had been done since I didn't have access to Neil's records and not everything is obvious without pulling stuff apart. Happily the guy who assembled the engine had kept reasonable records, so we now know the final spec is: Bottom end: Standard block and crank Ross 86.5mm forgies, 9:1 compression Spool forged rods Standard main bolts Oil pump Spool billet gears in standard housing Aeroflow extended and baffled sump Head Freshly rebuilt standard head with new 80lb valve springs Mild porting/port match Head oil feed restrictor VCT disabled Tighe 805C reground cams (255 duration, 8.93 lift)  Adjustable cam gears on inlet/exhaust Standard head bolts, gasket not confirmed but assumed MLS External 555cc Nismo injectors Z32 AFM Bosch 023 Intank fuel pump Garret 2871 (factory housings and manifold) Hypertune FFP plenum with standard throttle   Time to book in a trip to Unigroup
