LOL i had forgotten about this, for all the trolls who cant quite read between the lines...i was kidding, as in joking, as in having a laugh as in..well you get the idea.

As for trees whizzing past in Maq pass etc, you dont need to break the speed limit for that to scare the crap out of you!

Is true. Mac Pass is quite an exhilarating drive, even at the limit.

Thread revival

I was beginning to think this was bullshit until this morning - spotted RTA boys ripping the Angledale (north Bega) speed camera out of the ground, and a local council truck going to town on the "speed camera ahead" signs. No more camera!

i always have a good giggle at people being done there... sure they're trigger happy, but people go flying up to get through and get done anyway... just wait and save yourself $230 or so?

...or the risk of t-boning a car that has gone through a set of lights when they are GREEN. It often stuns me when I roll up and stop at a set of lights as they've gone orange and see someone two cars back still go through that same set of lights - surely if I could stop in time, they could too, right?

On that basis, there are plenty of sets of lights I use that I ALWAYS double-check when the lights change to green, even if I'm a few cars back from the intersection.

My missus was involved in an accident just like you are describing; she entered a dual lane intersection from a freeway off ramp, on a green light. As she got into the middle of the intersection, she was hit between the D/S B pillar & rear wheel by a guy running the light; doing about 70- 80km/h.

This guy must've missed the yellow by at least 5-10 secs

There was a car (to her right) stopped in the lane closest to the gutter, so she wouldn't have been able to see this dope even if she'd wanted to. The lane closest to the centre island was empty, so he figured he'd just bowl through.:blink:

If he'd been there a little earlier, she'd have copped it square in the drivers door, and judging by the damage to the rear passenger door, she would've almost certainly ended up with a broken leg/hip/pelvis and possibly head injuries from hitting the window. The amount of bruising she ended up with was incredible; the whole right side of her body, from shoulder to knee; she was completely black.

I used to just belt out on the green; but since then, I'm much more observant. On a motorbike; you'd be dead.

Back on topic; they don't seem in to much of a hurry to remove the revenue raisers on that deathtrap of a straight piece of road; the M4...

yeah, i don't get why people are in such a hurry. who cares, it's 2-4 minutes of your life. change the track on your ipod, close your eyes for a second, have a breather. it's alllllll good.

wooooooosssaaaaaaahhh

3 to 4 minutes is a super long time to wait when you need to take a leak uber bad though!

      R34 power steering

      By drifter17a · Posted

      I have done smoke test and can’t see any leak on high or low side.   checked pump and fluid can flow through. Removed the high pressure from steering and did smoke test and same on low side, no leak.   puzzled. Thinking why if it was all ok it suddenly went as car was off road for a year. Don’t want to disassemble pump yet as i can see fluid / air( compressor) can flow through with no issues

      Actually,  just remembered there should be info in the threads (somewhere) about swapping to a manual steering rack and deleting power steering all together.

      Thinking of getting a Q50 300hp and just tuning it instead of getting the Q50 Red or 400R

      By 180 wanabe · Posted

      Also had a look at the Nissan JP website looks like the 400r has a slightly shorter ratio than than the regular V37 3.133 VS 2.937 which from a guy who has driven both 3.69 vs 4.11 ratios in the S15 is bugger all. Seems that the AUTO Z runs the same ratio as the 400R but can't find any info as to if its an open or LSD? More often than not the auto LSD is open

      Do not replace the power steering lines with this stuff. If it's anything like the Chase Bays stuff it will leak and be worse than stock. The reason why the reservoir is on the LH/passenger side of the car is because that's just where the reservoir was most convenient to fit. Don't overthink this stuff. The intake/cold side of the engine is pretty busy on these cars. And again, the hardpipe is designed to be a janky power steering cooler. In theory you can replace it with a real power steering cooler but that's really only for track use where boiling the fluid is a distinct possibility. Start with the low pressure lines feeding the pump from the reservoir. Make sure there isn't a bunch of junk in the reservoir filter. Be careful to not get ATF all over the engine bay. I hate dealing with ATF spills, you can clean it up and the slightest crevice will still release more oil that can still drip over time. You also want to inspect for leaks before you make a mess and can't tell what happened. Most likely you have a leak somewhere that is allowing fluid out and air in. Failing that it's allowing air in but not fluid out. Only place I can really see that happening is on the low pressure side because the pump will pull a slight vacuum to draw fluid in. Everything after the pump is high pressure or lower pressure, approaching atmospheric by the time it returns to the reservoir.
