Life has a way of getting even, just thank your lucky stars that the two of you are well. It could have been a very bad story all for a stone chip. Your a very lucky man, how many 15 month olds can boast at their 21'st, 'I was sideways on a public road in an R33'.... :mellow:

Lucky your both ok.

But Im going to be harsh here and go out on a limb (yes luxo 4x4 owners are the worst, at least when rich people buy s-classes they dont need to know how to drive) anyway. Just think about this for one second. Had you had a deep breath, and not done anything, not given him the bird, not then retaliated when he did the same back (as he probably didnt realise what he did wrong) you wouldnt have been in a potenally life threathing position. Serious dude hey, does take a bit, but a bit of a chill pill would have avoided that situation... Not saying what the other guy did was right by a long way, he definately needs some form of punishment.

I can understand exactly how you feel man. A very similar thing happened to me once. I wasn't so lucky and ended up veering sideways across a medium strip at 110. I still beleive i was so lucky there was nothing coming the other way. Curse those cheap rear tyres! :mellow:

This dude in the VW will get what he deserves some day.

Sad to hear cuz ill keep a look out in sydney :mellow: if i see him ill give him a nice firm middle finger above steering wheel of vs wagon though i might be getting skyline soon so hopefully it freaks him out skylines are all gainst him good to see you and your daughter are alright!!!!!!!!! good to see......I to suffer from road rage problems i get worked up alot and follow them. :mad:

exactly why im trying to stop my wife retaliating in anyway to idiots on the road

you never know what other people are capable of

in your case, you would have been miles in front, if you had just let this idiot go

id learn from that

yep idiots for sure. It is REALLY f**king scary when you have someone so blinded by anger that they try and run you off the road. It happened to me too about a month ago.. I was being tailgated so I gave the bird. This pissed the guy off ect ect ect.

So if this happens to anyone out there do as ronin has the second time, shake your head and just ignore the dickheads, don't retalite - even though it's very difficult when your pissed off yourself.

Shouldn't the f**ker be running over his own kids, instead of yours?

At any rate, people should learn to just chill out and roll with it. While I think the Toe-rag driver is a complete f**k stain, if you go around prodding a rabid dog you should expect to get bitten.

That said, chances are I'd do the same as you in the same situation.

What's the speed limit on the Calder, anyway? And after your impact did he stop and exchange insurance details?

As a suggestion, I'd pull his plates from your post. While you're telling people you don't condone vigilante revenge its still not worth the risk in case it does happen and you've written this angry post.

to be honest as much as it's all well n good to say ronin shouldn't have retaliated, but still, you get your windscreen chipped, you're gonna be angry as!

that said, it's western society that we're so highly strung, we work our entire lives we never get a break for family time, we earn heaps of money then live our lives paying off houses and all sorts of other stuff we don't really need, we're all part of a machine, we eat our dinner in front of a tv,

sorry for the rant i recently went overseas and they live very different to us, a lot less stress, a lot more time taken to slow down and sniff the roses... different to how we live i guess...

wow.. i guess we can just thank god that you are both alive and well.

personally, if someone had put me or my 15month daughter in the danger you speak of.. god knows what i would do. son of rajab knows it wouldnt be pretty though.

so, he literally rammed you? that is a f**king disgrace.. i hope he gets his.

good to hear though that your alright mate.. thats the important thing.

    • Thanks for that Paul.  Do you think if I posted a picture you'd be able to remember where it went? 
    • Sorry Duncan, I didn't get a notification for the replies.  Thanks for responding!  It's a full Android device, but does allow you to use CarPlay/AA as well.  This is the one I bought from NaviRS on AliExpress: https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005006368602668.html?spm=a2g0o.order_list.order_list_main.111.59aa1802JDzQ0E - the 2K 8G-256G CAM variant but it seems to have gone up by £170 since I bought it!  My purchase was £307.14.   It's not the fastest thing in the world but performs perfectly adequately.  It stays on standby unless I disconnect the battery and let it power down, then it's just a fairly standard Android bootup time from cold.  The DSP Equaliser is very nice and made the standard stereo system sound pretty decent compared to the stock screen.  Perhaps I can take a video of it when I get a sec. It *allegedly* supports the reverse camera, but I'm yet to get that working.  It has options for reverse cam (a camera unit can be bought separately) or 360 cameras (also bought separately).  To be fair it doesn't seem to detect that the shifter was put into reverse but I'm working on a theory about this as well.  At the moment I'm going without which is a bit annoying considering the car is an absolute canal barge but so far I haven't caused any damage I'll grab a picture of the wire I'm missing later today when I can get outside.  My theory, by the by, is that not only is the head unit different, but the CANBUS network has different signals for the different years.  I think this because I have a spare AC panel from a newer Infiniti G37 (as opposed to my Nissan panel) which wouldn't control anything except the volume when I had it wired up with the stock system.  I'm going to throw it back in and see if the screen will respond to it.  I've just ordered an arduino CANBUS module so I can have a look at the signals going around the car and see if I can spot anything.  I'm thinking if I can work out what it's expecting vs what it's getting I might be able to translate and relay the signal back but so far just a theory anyway. I also found this on my travels, so far the only one that specifically matches my car: https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005002822934280.html?spm=a2g0s.imconversation.0.0.33433e5fgttovi If you look at the picture of the before, it has the card reader slot, and the picture of the head unit is exactly the same as the one pictured in my original post.  I asked if they sell the cables separately but sadly they won't.  I didn't want to just buy this one because it's a super old Android version and only dual core - likely slow as hell. 
    • As above, you did refill the coolant and burp the system before running it again didn't you?
    • To be fair - you see the same thing for every clutch. There's always someone making an installation error.
    • Just saw this, redacted names. It's on a R33 GTS-t Facebook group. Looks like still teething issues.
