11. Watching this all happen at once on the DIpswich Motorway... Priceless.

Talking about Tailgating. IT seems to be a popular sport with the commodore drivers. This isnt entirely true because every driver has done it once. Though I notice is more with commodore's.

I'm not sure about anyone else, but IT S**TS ME TO DA MAX.

Where is the sense in following close? Especially in the left lane?

Its just there are more commodores. I find 4x4s the worst offenders. Mostly because I know those barstards dont stop too good, and they will really smack a back of a car hard. If they were good drivers they would leave a bigger gap knowing their car is a tank and doesnt stop fast.

I see so many people going through red lights nowadays that it isn't funny anymore. It is obvious the other lane has a green light but they still push it and hope the other driver values his car more than yours. I know I do, and thats why I don't tailgate, ever. If you run into the back of someone it is always your fault!! People need to go to Mt Cotton and do a driving course and realise how far it takes to pull your car up!

9. pull out in front then slow down.

my biggest hate. if you are going to do this to me then you are going to get a bit of this 4. tailgating: it's fun! along with some horn!!!

i would, but my car is 3db too loud.

Another one. The shoulder of the road. I was under the impression that it was there for a reason. To use say, as an extra lane when a car is turning right, or to move over in to when you are turning left. But this isnt just the drivers, oooh no. The local councils in thier infanite wisdom think they are there to just look pretty also. And they put those BIG MASSIVE CEFIRO SUSPENSION BREAKING!!! cats eyes in the ones that are like 3 inches high, and square. They put them in the shoulder on both sides of the road, where a corner is.

Now that is STUPID.

    • Thanks everyone for the replies and suggestions. Got the seats out (hoping I could find some existing grommets but no such luck). By tapping and measuring etc. I could figure out where I could drill through if needed. But first I borrowed an inspection camera and managed to go through factory holes in the chassis rail and could see that the captive nut was holding steady which is why it could retighten. So it was indeed a stripped section of thread, so I applied downforce by levering the bolt head with a screwdriver and went slowly back and forth until it came out. Camera helped a lot cos I could monitor that the captive nut was holding tight. Now I just have one very seized main subframe nut to tackle 😅
    • BOVs do have a purpose, if you ever log pressure before and after the throttle body, you will see a spike pre throttle on lift off from a WOT condition. Enough to bend throttle blades / damage e-throttle motors or simple assist in blowing off cooler pipes. FWIW, the above on really applies to those running at least 2 bar of boost. OP shouldn't have an issue, on the other hand, here are some videos of my shit box over a decade ago with some succulent dose with the airbox on and off. That shit box is unrecognisable these days 🫠    
    • I've tried all different combinations of BOVs/ no BOV and stock bypass valves over the years, on gear changes the stock bypass valve seems to get the car back on boost quicker because in part the turbos wheel speed isn't being slowed down by reversion, although they have issues holding boost much over the stock setting. Most aftermarket BOVs you can adjust the spring, tighter will make it open later and close sooner, but in my experience it'll cause a bit of flutter at low load/rpm anyway. I've also got some input into this whole no bov causing turbo wear, never had an issue on any on my turbos HOWEVER, I got my R33 GTST with 200k kms on it, with from what I can see still has the original turbo, no lateral shaft play but has about 4-5mm of play in and out which to me seems like a worn thrust bearing from years (100-150k kms?) of turbo flutter running no bov, so maybe there is some truth to it in the long run. But that'll never stop me loving the Stutututu while I have the car.   OP just wants to know if he can run a atmo vented BOV with no major issues and the answer is YES, plenty of people do it, there's no harm in installing it and seeing how it runs before spending $$$ on an aftermarket ecu, last time I bought a Nistune it was $2400 for install and a tune , unsure of todays prices but you get me. Crazy money to spend just to fix the minor inconvenience of stalling that can be overcome by letting the revs come down to near idle before putting the clutch in or a little bit of throttle to avoid it. You're better off leaving the ecu and tune for after a bigger turbo/injectors have been installed to take full advantage of the tune and get your moneys worth.   Let OP have his Whoosh sound without trying to break his bank haha
    • I see you missed the rest of the conversation where they have benefits, but nothing to do with avoiding breaking turbos, which is what the aftermarket BOV made all the fan boys, tuners, and modders believe was the only purpose for them...
    • But they do so for the other reasons to have a compressor bypass. It's in the name.
