Hey Squizz, did this idiot have an accent by any chance??? If he did and you can identify said accent, I may know where this asshole works!!

I can do much better than the police!!!!!!

Dave

Couldn't catch an accent through the helmet etc but he was a damn sight larger than I am and would be in his 40's.

For all those people who are getting agro about the bike riders that go up the middle... here's some food for thought...

On a bike you have nothing to protect you, you have people who merge on top of you without seeing you and you have people who just don't care as they're driving something up to 10 times the size of you and your bike. Its an unwritten rule, you either sit behind the traffic or you get in front, otherwise you get killed!!!!

Fair enough this guy is seriously in the wrong and i hope you get your car fixed etc at his expense, but that doesn't mean that because a bike rider goes up the middle of traffic that he's a loose cannon or complete asshole. Yes they are skipping the traffic cue, but also looking after themselves as there's nothing to protect them once you hit them!! This is just aimed at the people who were getting agro at those riders who go up the middle of traffic

Its his choice to ride a bike, with that comes its risks as with anything, something you have to keep in mind when riding a bike. Sure enough there it is alot more dangerous riding a bike on the roads, but thats the gamble you take if you want to ride sadly. If i can get fined and lose points for driving normaly on the roads than this guy should be fined and made to pay back what damage he has done. Its his choice to break the law by going up the middle of cars during stoped traffic.

That's fair but I have no regards for the safty of a biker who rides up the middle of traffic WHILE ITS MOVING!!!!!!! Hey if they want to do that expect me to give them hell as I always do......

Nothing any one can say will ever change my view on that, coming from a bike rider in the past too.......

Please don't group all bikers in with the mentality of the moron listed at the top of the thread. Regardless of whether you're on a bike, in a car, you're a pedestrian, or whatever, if you damage someone else's property you should take responsibility for it. I suspect that this "person" would be an arrogrant prick regardless of what mode of transport he was using at the time.

I don't understand the problem that people have with bike riders cutting through STOPPED traffic, except in situations where (like in Squizz's case) they don't leave enough space. If you have to worry about handlebars taking your mirrors off, it's too close. If they are obviously taking considerable care, then I don't have a problem with it.

Don't forget that nearly all bike riders drive cars too and are exposed to exactly the same things from bike riders when in their cars. In my experience, car drivers are a lot worse to bikers than vice versa. On my bike I've had people merge onto me while looking me in the eyes (so they knew I was there), obviously thinking "he'll move or get run over".

And before I start, for what it's worth I don't split moving traffic, or traffic stopped at lights. I *only* split lanes during a traffic jam, and then it's at a pace where I can literally stop on the spot (usually <20km/h). That said I don't care if people want to split lanes, as long as they're sensible about it. I've seen idiots split lanes on the back wheel. Feel free to open your door/swing your hiab out on them.

Any bike that lane splits when I'm up front gets a rude shock when the lights go green. Report the plate....take the f**ker down.....then laugh at him when you see him again.

And no amount of cake can shut my hole on that topic.

I agree *if* the biker is causing a problem by splitting. If he is going up the middle and leaving plenty of space, and makes a decent effort not to hold up traffic when the lights go green, then I don't care if one goes past my window. Note that deciding to hold the throttle flat just to make it hard for the bike to pull back into traffic does not mean that the bike was the one causing the problem. That's like blaming the toaster for electrocuting you, when you were the one jamming the knife in it.
HMM... im always tempted to open my door everytime i see them coming up behind me in traffic and say -- ooppss.

I had some moron in a car do that to me one time when I was idling through completely stopped traffic (as in, people were locking their cars and walking across the road to the shops). I was doing all of about 15km/h, and this guy got all agro and kicked his door open in front of me and screamed "why can't you <bleeeep> just wait like everyone else has to?". I calmy asked him that if there was a perfectly safe way for him to get through the traffic jam, would he take it... he said "that's not the <bleep> point" etc. It's just a case of people getting the shits that you can get through when they can't. I gave up trying to reason with him when he began threatening violence... I ended up having to tell him to either try hitting me (me in full suit of armour and kevlar knuckles = teh win), or to shut his door and let me get the f*ck on with my day.
That's fair but I have no regards for the safty of a biker who rides up the middle of traffic WHILE ITS MOVING!!!!!!! Hey if they want to do that expect me to give them hell as I  always do......

Exactly. Splitting moving traffic is stupid.

If there isn't room, then don't do it. I cannot stand it when wankers on Harley's try it and end up having to lean the bike way over to avoid a mirror and they almost always look like they couldn't lift it if it fell!!

I repeat.... If there isn't room, then don't split the traffic.

Having said that, if they get to the front and cannot beat me, then pick a lane at least and be gracious in defeat, don't get nasty and try to kick my pride and joy. I will follow you to the ends of the earth and snap you in two!! Rant over....

Yeah report the tard...splitting lanes has always been illegal, no it's not a safety for bikes thats why they do it kinda thing.

It's a dangerous thing to do and the impatient prick deserves what he should get, a fine and a repair bill.

It's only illegal if the traffic is moving. You cannot overtake a moving vehicle in the same lane. BUT you can pass a stationary vehicle in the same lane.

It is a case of being pedantic with laws that don't really apply to the exact situation. There is no actual law that deals with "splitting" lanes on a bike.

BUT this incident has naff all to do with that.

His vehicle collided with your stationary vehicle that was in a valid and legal position on the road. He is at fault and liable for damage that he has caused to your vehicle.

Book him Danno

(heh, just realised, probably no-one under at least 30 will get the Hawii Five-O referance)

    • Hi all. Been a while but things are moving along. I just have something that I am wondering about. Since I will use OEM turbo oil pumbing, I got myself a new bolt, the one that goes into the engine block oil feed. As I recall (and see visually) this bolt comes restricted with I think a 1.7mm hole? Not quite sure but it was something around that size. The turbos have 1mm restrictor bolts installed, as necessary due to ball bearings and my higher oil pressures. Can I now just use that OEM bolt with the 1.7mm hole in for the engine block or will this actually be too much oil flow restriction and I have to drill it out first? In my head it would make sense for the bolt to be at least 2mm wide as both turbos take "1mm of oil flow". Do let me know if my logic is flawed here, I just want to make sure I don't kill my turbo bearings with too little oil. Don't know if I can trust the saying I read somewhere that ball bearing turbos essentially only need an oil mist
    • There are several aftermarket options available, from not-too-painful moneyhttps://justjap.com/collections/driveshafts-bearings/products/d-max-reinforced-replacement-rear-driveshaft-set-fits-nissan-s13-s14-s15-r32-r33-r34-c35 and  https://justjap.com/products/crank-motorsport-billet-rear-axles-fits-nissan-skyline-r33-gts-t-r34-gt-t?srsltid=AfmBOorQk4xkGUa98kO7v2ePLUiNt-HRrM2AwWNw9mbSIVE1ujBVwY__, all the way up to The Driveshaft Shop https://driveshaftshop.com/skyline-cv-axles/
    • Yeah based on old XRC5964S specs, it looks to be roughly GTX3576R sized? But this 5964S compressor will flow 90lb airflow somewhat similar to the compressors in both the GTX3584RS or G35-1050.. I fully expected the 0.64 rear A/R to choke up top - seems way too small from typical convention - but these are seemingly beneficial over the prior 0.82 results.. Be interesting to see if he comments on the EFR question in that thread - he mentioned in a prior video that BW EFR's were the "cats pajamas 10 years ago", but by the sounds of things all his kits have been using Xona for quite a while now.
    • Yeah it’s still got the oem manual gearbox and clutch, only kinda mods are a blow off valve, coil overs, and a aftermarket intercooler. Also had it for about 2 months now with a lovely midnight purple paint on it.
    • Yeeeppp, been following a lot of the testing on the latest Xona stuff and there are some mental results.  He also went over 1000hp @ 4 hubs on his Mainline with a XRE6364S (63mm) which was also well into the 20psi range before 4000rpm on a 2.5. Crazy stuff. Fwiw the XRE5964S is basically the modern equivalent of their old HTA3582 - would drive nicely enough on an RB25 or 26, but proven capable of a huge amount of power if you want to spicy with rpm tho even at sane boost levels will make stout numbers
