I was on my way home from work and came upto a set of traffic lights and one started to clean my window with his spray bottle (daily juice bottle with a hole in the lid) and his sponge (almost black tea towel) and lifted my wipers and kept cleaning. He then finished and came upto my open window with his hand out and I told him I have no change. He didnt leave and just stood there with his hand out and said cmonnn mannn not even a couple dollars? I said I have no money. Then the lights turned green and i started to drive off slowly due to peak hour traffic and I thought he spotted my change pile in my little tray and he held onto my side mirror and ran along side my car he held on for a good 15 meters across the intersection and was yelling stop! stop! i kept driving and he let go but then I had to stop because of traffic and he came running up to my car leaned over my bonnet and put down one of the window wipers he left up and walked away XD

I wind down the window and shake my head as to say NO!, if they take a step toward my car, I say in a deep forcefull voice

"keep away from my car!".

They sure take notice :(

(3) For subrule (2), a pedestrian does not unreasonably obstruct the path of another

pedestrian only by travelling more slowly than other pedestrians.

Does this mean i can be fined for walking too slow along the footpath? :(

What happens If i break into a sprint, will i get fined for going too fast.

No he didn't, there is a law,

Had one on punt road richmond, shook my head told him no and he washed it anyway.

He started chatting even though i wasnt interested. Told us he used to have a skyline too till he wrote it off into a tree, that's wonderful i thought to myself.

I gave him about 50c in change.

I guess if he is a junkie it's better than him stealing robbing and breaking into homes and cars. At least he is providing a service even if it's not needed.

Maybe if they actually sold something it wouldnt be so annoying newspapers, cans of coke or something.

I reckon this is the same guy that I saw on Saturday arvo, he spotted my car in the traffic & came over to start washing my windscreen, I said no thanks, then he started asking me what they were worth & how much he really like skylines & asking how hard does it go. I told him that they aint worth sh*t since all the P platers that want them aren't allowed to drive them anymore, I told him that on his income he should be able to afford to buy/run one no probs!! Then I think he offered me 5K for my car as I drove off... I should have stopped and got his details... Prolly the best offer I will get on my car :blink:

    • I started with the above in my head too, and I might be reading / thinking about what they want wrong, which is why I complicated it a bit further. Purpose I'm seeing is for the corner indicator to be on with headlights, and then if the indicator turns on it can still flash. The relay part above I can see working as required, except in the case of headlight is on, and indicator is on. The change over relay you've wired in would get signal from the indicator, and as it flashes would give power to the globe from the indicator, but as it flashes off, power comes from the headlight, which would cause the indicator to be constantly on when headlight is on, even while indicator change over is flashing. That is unless we don't care if it flashes or not if the headlight is on? I guess that's an OP clarification.
    • HI, Ive got an r34 gtt sedan A/T. The instrument cluster went out and I replaced it with another A/T everything visually looks the same and all the gauges work now with the exception of the speedometer and odometer. The speedo will stay pinned at zero until I'm going about 55kmh and then it'll say Im going about 5kmh. my odometer seems to be tracking at about a 1/10 of what it should. If I go 1km it'll say I've only gone 0.01. Appreciate any and all help. Ive tried searching through the forums reddit and a local fb group. The only info I think I've found is that some cars didnt come equipped with TCS (mind is) and the clusters may be different between those? I've also installed a brand new VSS and no joy obviously. TIA. 
    • what speedo healer did you use?  
    • Certainly. It is probably broken under the wire style clamp. At least that one is easier to get at than the front one.   Sounds like it isn't a major leak, I'd start with backing off the the water feed and return banjos into the turbos half a turn then tightening properly. Hardlines can still crack over time, either in the tube (particularly when turbos are changed if the banjo is siezed in the the tube) or at the brazed joins between the lines and the banjo fittings. A coolant system pressure test will reveal all. BTW you'd be able to get a sump without exchange, it will just cost more as they will have to source another stock one for the next customer. If you want to address the sump a much better option is something like this https://www.hioctanedirect.com/hi-octane-racing-sump-extension-nissan-rb26 that you weld in locally (and add the oil return fittings at the same time)
    • Pretty sure you are thinking of the throwout bearing there (which you should change when you change your clutch), when they are worn they will get quieter if you put your foot on the clutch. An input shaft bearing is turning/noisy at all times.
