these are people walking along the street, driving next to you or in your car?

so random.

ive never had anyone comment on my driving unless i cut them off and even then its usually just a shake of the head or the dreaded one finger salute. How do you have the time to chat to all these people? I spose at 40km/h they could just jog along next to you..

epic first post chris

whats the point if they are doing the limit anyway? :P

Well i just warn them anyway. I wouldn't have a clue if they are doing the speed limit or not.

On my way to the RTA today, I got flashed by some uber bogan spec VN Commo (front end missing, stockies on the back).

It was weird because he specifically flashed his lights at me.

Thinking it might be someone I know, I was racking my brain to who the fark I know drives something like that, came up with nothing.

Did my thing at the RTA (quickest RTA visit EVA!).

100m down the road HWP getting fuel.

Commo driver realised that us Car enthusiasts need to look out for each other.

Doubt you're reading this but, thanks.

I live up through the blue mtns and get flashes off old mate driving the busses regularly. He's 100% spot on too,they're waiting around the corner. Same as the big rigs. I'll warn both these guys as they earn $$ with their licence. Also give modifieds a headsup too as we get picked on a little more over ya bubbles, camrys and 4wd's. Officer dibble tries hard to fault that second radiator out the front but just can't. :dry:

There was a bit on tv last night about facebook pages that warn people where RBT's are in the area.

The news anchors where outraged about it, as were police, saying that it 'encouraged' drink driving.

I think they are reading into it WAY too much.

If your the sort of person who drink-drives, I strongly doubt you would jump on f**kin facebook and see where the police are.. how ridiculous.

Im not an active facebook user, but i would think people "like" these sorts of pages as a joke..

Oncoming Drivers:-

Drunks see the flash too late

P1s swerve to avoid the flash

Narcissists think you're coming onto them

Druggies think, "What was that?"

Manic ppl go faster

Grannies go slower

Cops are vengeful

No I don't flash. Never know who you're going to meet up with these days wink.gif

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAH^ I ALWAYS flash without fail. perhaps even excessively when i've long gone past the hot spot.............:D

    • 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? 
    • 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?
