Hi Guys

Well i was driving to work this morning and i came across a few people doing under the speed limit say doing 60kmp in a 80kmp zone etc im sure it happens to everyone everyday, But the question is do you think its just as dangerous/hazard as say speeding over the limit? I find it very frustrating and could possibly cause a accident?

What are your thoughts?

Yes it is as just as dangerous as speeding , well maybe not as dangerous but it is a problem

I wonder about the drivers skill if they cant do the speed limit

Yeh it makes me wonder to, whats so hard about sitting on the legal speed limit,

Dangerous for who? Pedestrian or the driver?

Would you rather get hit at 30 KM/h or 90 in a 60 zone...

I highly doubt you will see police officers stopping grannies doing 30 in a 60 zone saying "pardon me miss but you were doing 30 in a 60 zone..."

my dad got busted for going too slow on the freeway in the U.S

LMAO

but yes, there's nothing more annoying than getting stuck behind someone going almost half the speed limit

Haha thats a good one, I wonder if they would ever bring that law out here?

If they see you doing 50 in a 100 zone on a freeway then police will pull you over to see whats up, they may fine you if your reason is not sufficient... if they catch you doing 150 on a freeway, your going to court with a big ass fine and a loss of licence.

Slow drivers can be just as dangerous, sure they won't hit as hard but what about the frustrated person who has been stuck behind them for a while. They eventually snap and do something stupid to get past said slow person and end up causing an accident. Indirectly the slow person is responsible because had they been traveling at the legal speed there is a fair chance that the other driver wouldn't have had to do anything stupid in the first place.

if it was a narrow road and they had a huge amount of traffic backed up behind them then they could be booked for dangerous driving or something like that. they are causing road rage, and then people would be trying to overtake, and you may get someone 10 cars back try to overtake a whole lot of cars and then get past 5 and have a car come the other way and he has to take evasive action.

but if you are unable, or not confident enough to drive at the limit then you are a dangerous driver. you would end up possibly causing accidents and road rage. it is the same with people who take for ever at intersections they wait for ages till there is a huge gap because they don't want to try to fit into a normal sized gap because they are too scared. and then everyone behind them gets impatient and takes more risks because they are angry/frustrated and doesn't want to be stuck there even longer.

Man nothing pisses me off :thumbsup: more then that especially when they are doing 10-20 under the limit in the left lane. Primarily i think its old people, sometimes I wonder if they will introduce a re-test at a certain age to keep you licence??

also the people who slow down to have a sticky-beak at an accident as they drive past. then they take their eyes off the road and slam up the back of the person in front of them that is doing the same thing. or they just slow down the rest of the traffic and you end up with traffic backed up for ages simply because some people want to have a good old look at a crash. admittedly i will slow down to have a look if there isn't much traffic, but if i have a heap of cars behind me i will keep going at normal speed.

after the age of 85 they have to re-do their test every year.

    • Strange your posting about this being an issue. Move the harness or change your wheels or run more camber etc. Have the thing not touch the thing so it doesn't destroy the thing.  Short answer, no. Slightly longer answer, the factory fuel gauge is measuring resistance. You need to wire in the FPG fuel level sender into the original factory fuel level sender wiring.  I drew you a picture to explain this one The factory strainer is quite long, reaching down into the bottom of the tank. Safe bet your aftermarket fuel pump has a little baby sized strainer that probably doesn't even point down towards the bottom of the thank.  Solution, move the pump lower down in the tank, or fit a longer strainer, or do both. I did both, I've run my tank down to 5L remaining and the car still drove fine.   
    • S2/3 GT-R is the same as S2 GTS-t The SRS airbags module in under the centre console. The S1/S1.5 GTS-t and S1 GT-R had the module built into the steering wheel. FWIW, I have a S3 GT-R wheel in my S2 GTS-t shit box. Same airbag plug, airbag light goes on then off, meaning all systems are go. S3 GT-R has red stitching, that's about it.
    • Dumb question, but why would it matter if the wheel came off a car with hicas or not?
    • Hey to anyone that reads this, long time lurker first time posting, sorry if it’s been answered before but I’ve been looking for nearly a year now for answers. ive got a 25det neo in an r32 that works awesome when it works (made 500whp on 21psi) but works 45% of the time, 1st issue there’s a harness that runs under the passengers side front fender that my tire keeps rubbing through and one wire seems to power the fuel pump even though I’ve done the relay “mod” some people like to call it, and when it does rub through it kills the car, yes next time I’m with the car I want to take the fender off and try tuck the harness well out of the way but I’d also like to try and by pass this mysterious wire as well lol, also wouldn’t mind getting power from the alternator as I’ve read it supplies the pump with 13v ? But no idea where to run the power wire too. 2nd issue, when replacing my fuel pump and fuel hanger I managed to break the factory fuel level sender leaving me with no fuel gauge, I’d like to buy the fpg fuel level sender for r32/s13 but the plug it comes with confuses me, I’ve got a detschwerks x1 fuel hanger which has light + pump - level + pump + and a ground, I’m no auto sparky but I’m wondering if I can cut the plug off the fuel level sender and wire the negative to the pump negative and wire the positive to the level positive to get a fuel gauge back ?🥴 3rd and final issue, the reason I want a fuel gauge is because whenever it’s below half a tank, it fuel starves like crazy and runs like a bag of shit even without doing a pull or sloshing the fuel round in the tank, I’d also like to fix this but have no idea what’s causing it, I’ve got a dw420 and a dead head fuel setup meaning the fuel is regulated before it gets to the engine, my only theory is that the return line is to close to the pickup on the pump and when it’s at half a tank the return line is causing the pump to cavitate enough to cause fuel pressure issues, that or the pump isn’t low enough in the tank which I would find strange considering I can’t find a single thing online about it, also if ya wondering how I figured out it happens at half a tank without a fuel gauge, I waited until it started happening and went and filled up and the car took exactly 30 litres every time I tested it, if ya managed to read through this mess I appreciate that and any recommendations , cheers
    • ChatGPT is trash and lies about things I would not expect it to lie about considering many things it's wrong about are very easily verified with google. The S3 R33 GTR shares its steering wheel with R33 GTSTs of the same production year. Part number is 48430-26U17. I'm guessing you have to get it from a car that came with HICAS though, the ER33 is 48430-26U18, but the HR33 diagrams note that part number is still leather vs 48430-26U13 which is not leather-wrapped. They all use the same airbags, so if you need another one you can get it off basically any same year R33 or Stagea.
