exactly FLYIN_HiGh.

you carry on about people 'cruisin' in the right hand lane, when it is meant for 'passin', which i dont have a problem with, 99% of the time i 'cruise' in the left hand lane anyway.

but when you tailgate someone for sitting in the wrong lane, i fail to see how them sitting in the right lane justifies you being able to perform an illegal act and tailgate.

and i *highly* doubt your insurance company and/or judge in court would see this justification either.

to simply it all into one sentance, im not disagreeing with your position on people sitting in the wrong lane (no pun intended..) but i disagree with your way of fixing said problem.

yeh good point, but wat i'm trien to say is, if someone is tailgatin u, they are prolly already pissed off, thats y they are on ur ass.

so if a crash happens, they get out of there car, the person is gonna be even more mad so yeh ...

i spose sittin on the persons ass is a way of gaining there attention, so then to let them no they are trien to get past.

The reason for Idiot Silvia drivers is simply a case of Demographics...middle class fast car that is affordable. But lets face it, we all acted like that when we were P platers....you're gonna get idiot drivers of all types of cars, just that the percentage is higher for more affordable bunkys. :angry:

If you are being tailgated, DO NOT brake. Don't tap your brakes either, as this could just make it worse. Either move over if possible, or slow down by taking your foot off the accelerator. If they are going to be dickheads, let them be dickheads. I don't care who the f**k they are or what they are driving.

I always just put the brakes on a bit when I get someone tailgaiting me. It makes them slow down immeadiately. I'm talking about single lane roads of course, I don't hog the right lane on freeways.

When someone sits ridiculously close to your car and you start driving about 20kph under the speed limit, they quickly decide to give you some room.

Works for me anyway....has never made it worse.

Its your duty to tail gate people who drive slow on the right lane.

if you wanna drive slow, move to the left.

when im on the right, and i see a faster car coming up behind me i always move over. and when they pass, i get back into the right.

the people who dont move are the ones who are f**king up this country.

Sometimes I'm being followed too closely going into the tunnel. Having a dark coloured car I turn my lights on, and I've noticed every time I've turned them on they instantly back off a bit. :D

As someone already said you can put a small amount of pressure on the brake pedal so that they light up without actually slowing the car down.

If someone is tailgaiting me for no reason (I don't hog lanes or drive like a granny), I will apply the brake pedal so that the brake lights light-up, but i don't slow down. If they still continue to sit on my arse, then I'll gradually slow down to about 20kph under the speed limit. They always then realise that you weren't driving like a granny before they started tailgaiting, and as such they and give you some room.

      S15 Spec R

      By RP1421 · Posted

      A few small updates since the previous post and lessons. I decided to do a little interior light upgrade on the 110. I quite like the iilumo items, even if they're a bit of a premium over other brands. You'll also note the Stedi Fogs, that will go into the S15 fog lights as I needed to match the bulbs since I got the new ones earlier. I hope they fit as the body is quite a bit longer than your normal bulb.  Annoyingly, I managed to trip the fuse, which normally wouldn't be an issue until I located the fuse. I can't say I've ever come across this. I had lucked out that someone nearby had a spare, but oddly enough Toyota dealerships seem to keep this in stock. I ordered some to keep in my stash and as luck would have it, someone else nearby tripped the same fuse so I passed on the favour.  I also did a little service on the 110 ahead of some additional work coming up. It's been annoying that Goleby's stopped carrying this particular HKS filter for the 110, so now I need to keep them on order from Japan. I also took the opportunity to install a bash plate and number plate riser. The plate riser is such a cheap but nice fix to help really tidy up the car. I'm tempted to now also replace my headlights, on this car. Both items were from Project Aero.    I also needed to replace the rear tyres on the 110, and after trying to get it aligned learnt that I need to replace some bushes in the front end, so that's next.  Closing out this update with a nicer picture as always!

      R33 Fuel Pump & Brakes after alarm swap

      By Jarsky · Posted

      Appreciate the correction on the "ground", that will make a huge difference to looking at this. That makes complete sense about AF70/AF71 which is what I had come down to being the issue, one of these. I'll have another look in the ignition wiring when I get a chance next week. I'll also make up a jumper wire for running that AF73 test.  ECU is fine, relay itself is fine, pump harness is fine and the pump itself is fine. I am going to upgrade the Walbro 255 anyway with a DW300 I have since I need to replace the fuel sender and I'm going to upgrade the FPR with my chasebays kit ready for new plenum/injectors/dbw, but I'll get this working first. That's why this is so frustrating.
