Is it wrong to drive through a puddle on the side of the road with the intention of causing a wave to soak unsuspecting pedestrians who are just going about their business, or waiting for a bus etc?

I know its a wan*er thing to do, and everytime the oportunity presents itself, i do try to refrain from doing it....but its soooo funny that i sometimes cant help myself. If you saw this happen, would you swear and curse the person, or would you be more inclined to laugh?

For the record, i think some people should be off limits. e.g. Kids, parents with kids etc.

So, am i a really just a wan*er??

Be honest, do you do it, or have you done it?

Have you ever been hit by a wave while you were a pedestrian?

I got hit by one as a kid on my skateboard, and after I had got over the initial shock/anger, I realised how piss funny it was and have never managed to pass up an opportunity since.

Mind you, being the wanker kinda makes you assume everyone else is gonna do it so you learn to stay right away from roadside puddles.

haha i have been victim to the bus driver. but that was for the bus i was getting on, so i couldnt really avoid standing there

if you are a pedestrian and are stood on the edge of the kurb where you can see a puddle that has the potential to splash you then its your own fault for standign there

so its perfectly fine for a driver to drive through a puddle, its on the road you cant really avoid it now can you? eheheh

Hey i have been behind busses that have done it a lady was holding an umbrella and tried to use it as a shield didn't work very well, i have seen some people that are so addicted to doing this they take their own water with them to splash people

bit harsh perhaps. i would be reluctant to tsunami ladyfolk, or people wearing suits, imagine if it was you lol.

that said, my dream tsunami moment would be a mass of teenyboppers waiting outside a nightclub. paint their blinding fluoro clothing with good old fashioned mud!

baaahahaha awesome thread....... back in my hay day (yr11-yr12) we used to go around in my mates hilux surf jacked up with monster bf goodrich all terrain T/A's in winter before school looking for the opertunity...... the tables have turned considering i havnt been driving for the last 12 months... winters just coming up and we've had a few rains.... i keep an eye out and stay a way from those good old puddles when walkin just to make sure..... i recon it would be pretty uncomfortable covered with road water and grime lol

Setting up the car with big tyres etc, then driving around looking for the opportunity...thats just being a right prick about it!

p.s. love your work though :D

    • Only reason to keep a MAF on your RB25 is to be able to easily calculate true VE if you know what the factory voltage curve represents in grams per second of flow. Also allows you to do things like pull the original OEM ignition + AFR target tables and use those as a starting point for your base map. Once you're well and truly done tuning though there's no need to retain the MAF.
    • Do you think they'll merge there performance divisions and we'll end up HoMo?
    • Very true, if buying new, I would not get an PP either. Minimum is an Elite 2500, which is also considered outdated. Get something that supports DBW, delete that cable throttle. Best thing I've ever done to the Skyline, next best is refreshing the A/C with a new condenser. It's cold, but not as cold as modern car, but colder than most 90s JDM shit boxes imported into Australia.
    • Haltech have a nice comparison table between the Elite and Nexus models -  https://www.haltech.com/ecu-buyers-guide/ In general, the Nexus is better. Haltech have some nice product videos on their YouTube page, I'd have a look at those and if you're still not confident what way to go, I'd give them a call. They have the best customer support of any company I've dealt with, I'm sure they'll be able to help you out. 
    • Not to mention, that the correct diagnostic approach to "electrical thing does not work" is to start with what I outlined above. You only do swaptronics for things that can't be tested really easily, like ignition coils, AFMs, etc etc. And even then you hold your breath in case the fault that possibly killed the original unit kills the swapped in unit too.
