People who get all road-ragey at you when THEY'RE the one in the wrong. Like the guy who felt the need to gesture out the window and swerve all over the road and point at the speed camera because I dared to come up behind him doing 80 in a 80 zone. He was doing 60. And no I didn't tailgate or anything.

Nothing makes me want to ram someone off the road, grab them by the throat, and explain to them why they're a f**kwit more. If I was the violent type. Which I'm not :P

This is why you should keep used spark plugs in the centre console lol

When I get behind the wheel of a Camry, the devil in me takes over the controls and forces the 'driver' into the outside lane and remain 8Km/Hr below the speed limit > poor etiquette

People who stop 3m behind the white line at a red light.

People (two or more different people), who park on a suburban street (say, maximum 2-3 lanes unmarked), on opposite sides of the road, right at the entrance of the road- thus creating a bottleneck in/out of the road - too lazy to park that extra 5m into their driveways (I found out they were too lazy because the morning after I left a thinly-veiled note on their windscreens, cars were magically parked in driveways/only on one side of the street - they had continued their previous behaviour for MONTHS prior, and now, not a single repeat).

Solution is to surfboard wax the message on their windscreen. The inconvenience of getting that off will teach them not to be lazy lol

This conversation has stayed with me as a reminder as to the calibre of people on the road.

After I nearly got wiped off the road by someone trying to merge on top of me we pull up to a set of lights, windows down.

Wat mate?

Me: it's called a blind spot, maybe you should check it sometime.

Him: if it's a blind spot, then how am I suppose to check it?

All I could do was laugh and shake my head in disbelief.

drive off, he then pulls into my lane and in front at the next set of lights. Then tries to fake reverse into me.... Sigh.

This is why car manufacturers really supply tyre irons (for other driver adjustment) in the boot lol

21. Jamming the passenger door into the ground then getting into the car, putting more weight on the side of the car and jamming the door deeper, then pulling hard just to get it unstuck. Extra nasty if the door is stuck against the concrete sidewalk

22. Dragging shoes and bags over the door sill plate, door trims and glove box lid while getting into the car

Technically this ones an IQ test: Jamming the seat belt buckle into the centre console since they can't be bothered looking where the clasp is

This ones for the druggies out there: Playing with sun visors or power windows non stop

23. Dragging stuff over the boot loading lip or bumper bar while loading and unloading

24. Not closing the windows when exiting someone else's car.

25. People who don't learn how to reverse park their over sized suv/4wd, take freakin ages doing it and still fail to park properly.

26. People who don't wave after you've given them space to change lanes, pull out of driveways, side streets, etc in traffic. Unappreciative twats.

27. People doing under the speed limit in a T2 lane with no passengers in peak traffic.

28. People sitting in your blindspot constantly when merging into a 1 lane, clearly knowing they have to back off so you can merge, but decide to at the last second within inches.

Slamming car doors, lowring the bonnet then pushing it closed, other people leaning on your car, camry/corolla/kluger/accord/jazz/avalon drivers and people who can f*#@King use their blinker.....

Hehe...

Just doing fellow cabin members a favour.

When an ambulance is espied coming up behind but still far off, I recommend flashing the car in front of you just before pulling back into an undertaking lane.

      Leak from Tokico BM50 Brake Master Cylinder

      By brillo · Posted

      Hi, SteveL Thank you very much for your reply, you seem to be the only person on the net who has come up with a definitive answer for which I am grateful. The "Leak" was more by way of wet bubbles when the pedal was depressed hard by a buddy while trying to gey a decent pedal when bleeding the system having fitted the rebuilt BM50 back in the car, which now makes perfect sense. A bit of a shame having just rebuilt my BM50, I did not touch the proportioning valve side of things, the BM50 was leaking from the primary piston seal and fluid was running down the the Brake booster hence the need to rebuild, I had never noticed any fluid leaking from that hole previously it only started when I refitted it to the car. The brake lines in the photo are "Kunifer" which is a Copper/Nickel alloy brake pipe, but are only the ones I use to bench bleed Master cylinders, they are perfectly legal to use on vehicles here in the UK, however the lines on the car are PVF coated steel. Thanks again for clearing this up for me, a purchase of a new BMC appears to be on the cards, I have been looking at various options in case my BM50 was not repairable and have looked at the HFM BM57 which I understand is manufactured in Australia.

      R33 GTST Steering Rack (49001-19U05) Rebuild?

      By Gantai · Posted

      Well the install is officially done. Filled with fluid and bled it today, but didn't get a chance to take it on a test drive. I'll throw some final pics of the lines and whatnot but you can definitely install a DMAX rack in an R33 with pretty minor mods. I think the only other thing I had to do that isn't documented here is grind a bit of the larger banjo fitting to get it to clear since the banjos are grouped much tighter on the DMAX rack. Also the dust boots from a R33 do not fit either fyi, so if you end up doing this install for whatever reason you'll need to grab those too. One caveat with buying the S15 dust boots however is that the clamps are too small to fit on the R33 inner tie rod since they're much thicker so keep the old clamps around. The boots also twist a bit when adjusting toe but it's not a big deal. No issues or leaks so far, steering feels good and it looks like there's a bit more lock now than I had before. Getting an alignment on Saturday so I'll see how it feels then but seems like it'll be good to go

      Leak from Tokico BM50 Brake Master Cylinder

      By SteveL · Posted

      I don't get in here much anymore but I can help you with this.   The hole is a vent (air relief) for the brake proportioning valve, which is built into the master cylinder.    The bad news is that if brake fluid is leaking from that hole then it's getting past the proportioning valve seals.   The really bad news is that no spare parts are available for the proportioning valve either from Nissan or after market.     It's a bit of a PITA getting the proportioning valve out of the master cylinder body anyway but, fortunately, leaks from that area are rare in my experience. BTW, if those are copper (as such) brake lines you should get rid of them.    Bundy (steel) tube is a far better choice (and legal  in Australia - if that's where you are).
