So I was just driving home from an innocent visit to my folks, coming home down Walcott St towards Guildford Rd.

Just past the lights at Hungry Spot, some fkn lunatic in an N16 Pulsar comes around me (I'm in the right hand lane and apparently he had been doing it for a while) across the double white lines doing well over the speed limit (I would say around 100kmh from the way he passed me), nearly cleans up an oncoming car but ducks back across my nose, narrowly missing me, into the left hand lane. He then swerves around two more cars as we're approaching the Beaufort St lights, at which point he realises the left lane is blocked off by big concrete barriers so as he moves into the right lane he weighs anchors and leaves 5m lockup strips before slamming into the back of a taxi that was sitting at the lights, hard enough to push the taxi into the back of the Patrol in front of him.

He was basically driving like he was being chased by the popo, aliens, rednecks, whatever.

So I pull up at the lights grasping for my maglite (which I realised was sitting on the sofa at home) and get out of the car while old mate with a crankin' mo' from the car next to me is also out of the car. I'm raging hard at this point and old mate is uttering calming words. The guy in the Pulsar was passed out in the front seat and old mate was with him so I checked on the taxi driver and passengers, just sore necks/backs/shoulders and a ruined night. I come back passed the Pulsar to see f**khead awake and moving about groggily, I uttered some words to the effect of STAY THE f**k IN THE CAR and head back to my car to get my phone. I get about halfway there and f**khead decides to do a runner, fortunately old mate with the big mo' tackled him and we held him down until the nice popo and the ambo arrived.

All we got out of him in between lapses of consciousness was he had taken a lot of something.

Now I've taken a lot of drugs in my time and done a lot of stupid things but this is on a whole other scale, I have never been that f**ked up!!

I think the moral of the story is: you can't trust pills these days and stay off the meth kiddies.

Very lucky no-one was seriously injured or even killed tonight, if f**khead had hit that oncoming car when he was next to/in front of me, I hate to think of what the outcome would have been.

Good work Bubs, you win the Australia Day weekend community service award for outstanding achievement in the field of raging inferno wrestling

That wouldve been weird :)

Seriously though, thats a f**ked up story man. There are some dickheads in this world, some major f**k-ups. Guaranteed he won't learn his lesson from this

It wasn't a hoon car, just a bog stock N16 Pulsar.. the only mods were aussie flags that I could tell :) he was driving it like he stole it but it could have been his, I didn't hang around long enough to find out.

I honestly don't know what was going through his mind, he was running from something that's for sure!!

Drugs aren't all bad (please don't lump teh green in with drugs :)) but wow was he f**ked up.

I think he'll be more than losing his license for the incident, I dare say some jail time will be involved. I'll probably have to go to court :)

      Need AC Compressor for R32

      By Zabuza · Posted

      Ok glad you clarified on the frenchy’s options , I was worried about if my oem hoses would fit the new compressor or not if I just bought the bracket/compressor kit ,  didn’t realize they also sold a larger full conversion kit. Hmm may just go oem in that case then to make it easy only because I plan to sell this car to upgrade to a 32 GTR or 34 GTT.

      Right, here's a video of the basic operation at least.  This is what you can expect day to day when you turn the car on and it boots from standby.  The only thing from a media point of view I haven't gotten working is for it to autoplay plexamp when it turns on from standby (it works from cold boot) but that's more of a plexamp problem as it will autoplay other music players.  Also attached is my one stray cable.  It's part of the screen's wiring adapters but there's just nowhere for it to go in my car.  I've just now done a bit of research and found a matching port on a 2010-2014 head unit with BOSE.  Mine has no BOSE so that's that case pretty much closed I think.  Plugging in the Infiniti AC panel basically did nothing for me, so that's a dead end as well.  Next port of call is to mess with this CANBUS module and see what I can find from it.  I found this resource containing the DBC files for a 2010+ G37 : https://github.com/icecube45/Dash_InfinitiG37/blob/master/InfinitiG37.dbc I'll now have something to go from when I try to extract my CANBUS data so I can see if the HVAC Mode, Fan Speed, Temperature, etc. match and also the gear shifter position.  It's a pretty big assumption that it's just mismatched CAN signals but considering all the devices in the CAN network are talking to each other (AC can be fully adjusted just with no info on screen) it might be a safe one.  I will report back WhatsApp Video 2025-02-26 at 12.49.10.mp4

      Thanks for that Paul.  Do you think if I posted a picture you'd be able to remember where it went?

      V36 2008 Coupe Wiring Differences with Android Screen

      By sausagepianist · Posted

      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?
