^^^^^ what makes it good with doing a friendly thing like that is the sour pissed off look of the person in the mirror hahah

But sometimes you don't get that in return when your trying to merge is something that pisses me off. So I drive like a bull out of a gate when I am in a heap of public servant traffic.

I'm with Bren - gotta be an aggressive driver and be aware of all the dickheads around you. Can't get away with driving sedately in this town during peak hour, you'll end up being eaten alive.

Athlon and drakeford lights ............ T-bone accident at about 7.30am

There will be a road rage incident if this keeps up

BTW - I am not a calm driver. I would not say aggressive either tho.

Fkn pissed off = yes

I don't know.... I seem to be very calm. If someone cuts me off, I don't care, if someone lets 5 cars in, I don't care. If someone is stopped at the lights and I don't get to go through becuase they're sitting there on the green... I don't care. I guess I'm a very chilled person. I may make a comment if cut off or whatever, but it's not full on guns blazin'. Generally speaking, Canberra drivers seem to be a lot better than most around Australia (except for when it rains - everyone turns into an old lady driving 20kms under).

I'm a public servant and most of the time I'm in a rush - but I strategically place myself in better lanes so I avoid the "1 bllink-indercater cut off".

I usually only rage when people:

- Drive slow in the right hand lane or don't overtake

- Overtake and slow down

- Take a shortcut and drive slow (Lady Denman Drive)

Driving slower in the left hand lane is okay (not ridiculously slow though). Basically driving needs to be predictable. You can a shortcut to get some where quicker.

I'm with you^

I circumvent the road into the city near the lake/black Mtn to avoid the 60km zone where their doing all the road works (traffic travels a lot slower than 60km F#@cking C#NTS !) .

So do others and you know what - the c#cksuckers go just as slow. FFS stay on the main road you B!tches...

The road around the lake has some awesome windy bits with good camber - it's a race track.........................

Why everyone decides to slow down to form one lane ill never know, but Christ its annoying.

Helga, I would street fight a person if I didn't get through the lights coz they took off slow or I got cut off. You must be as calm as a Hindu cow behind the wheel...

I'm mad as hell.

Took well over an hour to get to work this morning.

Had to double back from just past woden turnoff to tuggers and come in via Woden to the city.

I hate to be callous but it had better have been good ones (many multiple fatality's).

Not just drivers too stupid to get there damaged cars off the road and gawkers. FFS

Yeah as I said. Im angry as. Shoot me !

Anyone know really WTF happend ?

So it took you 30 mins not 10? :laugh:

haha pretty much ! There is only one thing that makes me rage hardcore and that's a game called HoN. I go mental, everything else I seem to not care enough to get worked up. I do drop the mumbling "idiot" here and there though.

Purely because they cannot seem to comprehend the fact that you merge one from the left, then one from the right, and so on.

It's usually some annoying b*tch in a small car that thinks she has right of way above all, so then people have to brake to compensate.

Personally, as I've done before, I'll push people like that up the curb by turning towards their car

This. There are 2 significant occasions of "form one lane" for my drive home from work, and consistently at both of them there will always be someone who forces their way past me after the 2 lanes technically end....what the f**k?! Or should I say "attempts" to force their way past, as lately I'm taking your approach Tom by moving right over on top of them to force them to brake or bail further to the side.

f**k them.

best ever. I was going up Monaro where it goes right onto fairbairn ave and then left onto Majura. I was the front car with a truck behind me. right as i turned left to go onto the slip lane to go onto majura an rx8 comes flying up (past a 50+m gap between me and the truck) and tries to just cut infront of me. I just doubled down into second and planted it. he had to slam on brakes so he wouldn't hit the fking lights and then went behind me. Tried to take me at the first roundabout on majura and couldn't. On the second roundabout i saw a cop way ahead and let him past. he sped past me, gave me the finger and flawwed it. Little bit later i stroll past him gettign pulled over by the cop. Made my fking year.

Can't stand rude pricks like that on the road.

      Sag as in the windows start to slowly open themselves, or they're just slow to go up/down with engine off?

      It looks like it needs a big worm gear drive on it to control the rotating, not a few sloppy pins!

      R32gtr sputtering and stalling

      As Duncan said, first there was OBD, which few cars used, then came OBD2.   Now an interesting point, OBD2 isn't even for what you want to do. OBD2 is for emissions testing. There is some sensor data on OBD2, but it's up to the manufacturer what they're putting on it. Most scan tools operate on UDS, which like OBD2 is a standard built on-top of CAN. UDS specifies how to structure a message, what very limited things mean such as "read memory address" but it does not specify what is stored in which memory address, that is all up to the manufacturer. You either a scan tool compatible with that vehicle, or to know how to reverse engineer all the data, which can take a VERY long time and a lot of vehicles to get it right. Oh and then the manufacturer does a firmware update and changes what's where... Ask me how I know that as fact Oh, and by the time you've got the scan tool that supports all the manufacturers stuff, well, you're back at "But a consult cable and the Nissan software" The main difference being most manufacturers software these days works with the same hardware readers, as the readers are built to support J2534 which is another standard for how the PC communicates with the tool to make it do specific things on the car...

      Rotisserie is fully assembled apart from centre connector which obviously isn't required until the car is on it. It packs away fairly neatly and doesn't take up too much room. (Now that I actually have some room after my clean up!) Overall very happy with the quality of it.  Assembly was a piece of piss.  The only thing I didn't like was that the pins that lock the rotation lock wheels in place were a bit of a dick in a bucket scenario. It allowed the arms to rotate a significant amount even when locked in place.  To fix that i measured up the hole and went and grabbed a couple of 18mm fully threaded bolts and a thread tap to suit. I ran the tap through top and bottom so it was threaded both ends.  Then just threaded the bolt through both sides.  It has made a massive difference which hopefully you can tell in the before and after video how much difference it made. 20250207_161431.mp4   20250207_161431.mp4 Hopefully back working on the car over the next few weeks.   20250207_162801.mp4

      R34 Gtt Wheel Offset Advice

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      I think my main complaint with your idea is that there is a veneer of idealism spread across it. You want the simple numbers to make it easier, but all they will do is make it easier for someone to come to the wrong conclusion because the fine details will kick them in the nuts. As it is right now, the tiny bit of arithmetic is NOT the obstacle to understanding what will fit and what will not fit. The reality of trying it is what determines whether it will fit. If you had a "standard rule" that R34 GTT guards have that magic 100mm space from the hub face to whichever side you were worried about, and someone said "excellent, this wheel is only 98mm in that direction, I'll just go spend $4k on them and jam them on my sick ride".....they would just as likely find out that the "standard rule" is not true because the rear subframe is offset to one side by a fairly typical (but variable) 8mm on their car and they only have 92mm on one side and 108 on the other.
