Ok, I'll have to have a read...

I will NOT turn my head and cough... Besides it's overtime; twice as much money to buy Stag parts

Meh, that's what suspension is for. Had a 180b SSS, 6 point roll cage, seam welded, could jack up a corner and open a pillarless door no problem; no flex at all. Had a 200b SSS, always felt like it was going to break in half! You could see the doors moving in relation to the body when you pulled into a driveway. I know which one was better to drive.

Wait, for a meet, or the truck stop? Can't do the Thursday night cruise, but am dead keen for a meet soon!

Man I'd love to come, but work gets in the way of all the fun stuff...

Hell yeah, I'm keen!

Yeah, I did all that when I set it up originally, not sure why it's not playing the game. Maybe I'll just go through it again Driver; well that's a given; right? Where do you alter the gear ratio's? Is that in the "offset" bit? Thanks guys.

www.towie.com.au He's an enthusiast, had my car tilt trayed by him before.

Which I think is the reason people HAVEN'T been "righteous assholes" giving him shit about it. When it comes down to a game of "He said, she said" who do you believe is going to win in this case? A P plater or a Police officer? I don't like arbitrarily applied laws to do with traffic, or speeding offences any more than you do, believe me. But you can put youself outside harms way when dealing with stupid drivers (regardless of their profession) by hanging back when you see them doing dopey things. It doesn't always work, but it can't hurt; right? I agree with some of what you're saying, and understand your viewpoint, but sadly, it appears he's in the wrong by the letter of the law. Which is the only thing that will count if he wants to take it further. By putting my own past behaviour in the spotlight, hopefully he'll see he's not the only one who's been in this situation, but there are things you can do to avoid the frequency of the occurrences. I was always in a hurry to "get past that idiot" but often in doing it, I was taking the same type of risk and being just as much of an idiot. I started riding a motorbike and developed a new appreciation of how little attention some people pay to such a dangerous task as driving a car. Also, being "right" doesn't help if you end up broken, or worse... I took a few big steps back and those "idiots" whilst still being there; don't pose me anywhere near as much danger now. If they want to run into people, they can ( and routinely do) but they don't often run into me. It seems we're all on the same page with this incident, I hope it turns out ok, and the OP doesn't end up too jaded by the experience. I also hope he's switched on enough to learn from it and hopefully avoid the "idiots" in future. Let 'em swerve without indicating under the side of a truck next time, maybe they'll pay a bit more attention in future. Cheers, Dale.

Hey jawrgy, are you serious? Everyone so far has been fairly sympathetic and supportive to his cause, but I'm not going to piss in his pocket and tell him it's raining... It seems like he's made an error, and unfortunately it happened that the victim/recipient is an off duty police officer. Regardless of percieved negligence on the part of the other driver, and some apparent poor treatment by the attending officers, there are a few simple realities to deal with. No one has passed judgement on his skill & abilities, nor are they "Police bashing". To be honest, I think this has been a fairly considered and reasonable discussion thus far. You haven't really added anything new to the discussion, aside from a free hug and I don't really understand where you're coming from. Enlighten me?

Yep, ladies lingerie . I do all the fittings on hot chicks . You can do the gramdma's if you like... You have to be a boilermaker to leave a joke like that hangin' on the vine.

Ok Aaron, thanks for the tip, I'll give it a try tonight.

Hi, are you guys able to supply the NM35 Stagea intercooler kit? Regards, Dale.

What do you have to do to have the Power (PS) display functioning? I've put in the vehicle type (Nissan), body type (wagon), weight (1800kg), am I missing something? Apparently my car produces Zero power . Everything else I've displayed so far appears to work except this one, rather curious. Any help would be great

Being at fault because you are a P plater is a load of bollocks, pure & simple. Rules state nothing of the sort. Overtaking a turning vehicle on a single lane carriageway (unless I've misunderstood you) however is a different kettle of fish. Regardless of what she may or may not have been doing in front of you, you'll still be at fault if you overtook her as she was making the turn. It's your responsibility to observe & react to what's happening in front of you, not the other drivers responsibility to have regard for what's happening behind them. If you thought what she was doing was dangerous, perhaps you should've opened up your gap even more, to allow for her stupidity/ unpredictability. For example; If the driver in front has to make an emergency braking manoeuvre; is it their fault if you run up the back? Nope, it's yours for not leaving enough room to react to the situation. I'm sure there is a little "protecting their own" going on, but I don't see a way out, if you were on the wrong side of the road, and she's turned into the side of your mates car. I would say you're going to be paying your mates excess, and probably covering any loss of no claim bonus if you're a good mate. Sucks, but these things happen, being on your P's is sometimes a steep learning curve (we've all been there); you can only learn from it. Edit; re-read my post, sounds a bit preachy, I'm not perfect, (made plenty of mistakes) but I wish someone had told me I was a buffoon at the time, I might've saved myself some money & stress.

Classic! Only 'cos I'm a fitter tho'.

Spotted a Blue NM35 Aero selection on GWH at Glenbrook this arvo.

Awesome Craig, 'bout time you had a win i reckon. Can someone spell dedication?

I'll be running both of these on mine in the next little while, mainly so I don't have to run a separate boost gauge; keeps everything neat. I'll be using the oil temp probe in the gearbox to monitor auto temp

Do You have a part number? Might be worth adding it to the list.

Hilarious! Maybe we should call it "Everyone has to do exactly what Chuckie says, Except for Chuckie" thread. Such hipocrisy from the man who demanded no chat, just facts, yet more useless chat... Might as well, you ruined the last one, why not use your razor wit to to spoil this one too . BACK ON TOPIC, pulled wheels off & cleaned out a heap of mud from my rear rims, now my wheels are back in balance Happy New Year Stageaers!

I hope you're joking Chris is a great honest bloke. Bought my rims from him, he was upfront about every single scratch & mark; EVERYTHING. It's not the springs squeaking, they're just bits of curly steel. More likely to be squeaking bushes. Silly question; were the control arms & wishbones all loosened, bushes de-stressed (by prying the mounts a little) and then re-torqued at your new ride height? If not, all the bushes will be twisted up as you've dropped the ride height, but not released the tension, as the steel sleeve moulded into the centre of the bush is clamped in the mount points and the outer sleeve is pressed into the arm. You will eventually tear the sleeve out of the centre of every bush, and the car will feel like a POS to drive because every bush point will be sloppy. Cheers, Dale.

GB comes with new "D" bushes, to accommodate the different dia. The link rods are re-used, as the bars are a direct replacement. You can buy "heavy duty" links though whiteline, but I believe you're better using the std ones. They're the "fusible link" in the system, for want of a better word.

You can get the bumper skin off in less than 10 mins, that's my choice.
