lol this happened to me just the other day. this orange xr8 ute came flying. i just pulled over and let him go. The last thing i want is to get rear ended. even tho it wouldnt be my fault, i just dont have the time to chase up insurance claims and have the car off the road.

A until they hassle me.

C if they tailgate REAL close and are giving the bird etc.

D if they obviously wanna get past, but aren't being tools about it.

Ditto. 'cept also watching their behaviour in answer A will play a big part in the rest. ie. If they look like they're on LSD or drunk I'll get the hell outta the way no matter what and that's a given.

Screwed if I'm getting hit by an uninsured deadshit.

A....

If they tail gate then i slow right down... Because i want to give them the extra stopping distance if i need to stop....

In my old car, i hit the brakes really hard once when i was being tail gated really bad and he was gonna kill me... He pulled out in front then ripped the hand brake and got out of his car with a steering lock... I s$#t myself and hit the hand brake and took off.... From now on ill stick to my speed and if they hit me in the event of emergeny braking then the police can sort it out.... Thats what their for....

I would confiscate their car and ban all others like it, then have the speed limit in the area reduced by 10km/h.

Seriously though, generally I'll let people past if it's safe to do so (or if it's even more dangerous NOT to get out of their way), otherwise they can sit back and wait, I'm not going to break the road laws or jeapordise myself and my car/bike to let them through.

as most ppl....A

unless they were looking a bit agressive and road-ragey...in that case i'd pull over and let them get the hell away from me!

As above... either A or D, depending on their attitude/if they look like they'll hit me if i don't get out of the way etc.

D/ Let the moron go past.

Many times times in situations like this, I have noticed the moron rapidly gaining on me from behind at illegal speeds, was in an unmarked car, and wearing a police uniform.

They just love to drive fast themselves and bait people.

Either of the four, depending on my mood.

Ditto!

If i was feeling bitchy that day Id slow down and make a right nuisance of myself or id slow down then floor it and watch them try to keep up. Excels seem to be the dags that try n hang off ya butt and its always funny watching them trying to keep up.

If i was feeling in a happy with the world mood then Id just turn up the music carry on my merry way and ignore them.

I would go "A" first up.

If there were overtaking opportunities I would go "C" and slow down to give him/her the hint to go for it.

If I was driving my work bus I would go "D" and pull over because it will only do about 40 flat out.

    • Bump on this to not make another post, had a ‘head drain’ leak on me and have the engine out as we speak. Planning on just putting a new freeze plug back in , plug the tapped holes and just be done with that headache.    Now I still want to relieve pressure to allow oil to pass down the blocks returns easier. I’ve seen catch cans with multiple vents help folks with this issue on this forum.  I’m wanting to make my own. I have some pictures here of my setup if anyone can help how I should plumb and design the catch can I would deeply appreciate it !   rb25 Oil upgrades: 1.0mm restrictor n1 pump/billet gears extended crank collar  extended sump with trap doors/w welded fitting    
    • The Frenchy's kit is the way to go forward. A modern compressor that weighs about 1/2 as much, is at least twice as efficient, and will do a good job on R134a. And of course the kit has everything else you need to connect it up and have it work properly.
    • Hey all , I am in the process of having the AC system in my r32 GTST converted from r12 to r134a and I’m being told my compressor has gone bad and I will need a new one. I was wondering if anybody has any suggestions for what is the best route to go aside from dropping $1500 on a new oem one? I did see that Frenchy’s performance garage offers a kit to mount a Toyota compressor, has anybody actually used this kit on their car? Or is there anywhere I could purchase just a clutch? Any help is appreciated.
    • Well, your RB20 ECU loom won't have wires for the boost solenoid, that boost sensor, and possibly one or two other things. There could be differences in seemingly random things like the charcoal canister purge solenoid, because the 25DET has to handle boost in the vacuum system and the 20DE does not. I don't know - I haven't looked. It is very likely that all the most important things are same-same, being the main sensors like AFM, CAS, etc, and the injectors and ignition. Not that you'll need the AFM for the Haltech anyway. I would suggest that you would seriously want to sit down with the pinouts for both ECUs and just go through them and highlight green what is the same, orange what is different/missing, and make a plan from there. It's not going to be difficult. It will either be the same or need to be fixed.
    • yeaaa that's why I haven't done any wiring to the stock ecu harness because I have the haltech, but then that leads me to the other question of "is the pnp harness really plug and play?" or would I have to still switch some pins/wires over because the pnp is for the rb25det neo harness, and not for the rb20de neo harness. was really hoping to find something to spoon feed me since so many people have done rb20neo + t conversions, but man this is rough.
