Someone mentioned 'entrapment' before and you see it often in threads relating to fines etc, im fairly sure that entrapment is an american thing and as such, has no relevance here.

Also reguarding the cops word against yours, i have *heard* that if a regular traffic cop (sergeant, constable) in a marked car pulls you up, they must show evidence of you speeding, however if it is a detective in an unmarked car, their word is deemed evidence enough.

Not correct. There must be sufficient evidence to prove the offence. It does not matter if it was a sergeant or a detective sergeant. If it was a highway vehicle that pulled you over you have no chance of beating the charge. Fines are listed into categories. 15 and under/over etc. The speed that you were caught doing must have been over 45km. The offence code it broken down to exceed speed over 45km. This means that all tickets over that speed are listed as above. The only chance that you have is if it wasnt a highway car then the officers that pulled you over estimated the speed because they are not fitted with radars hence the reason general duties vehicles dont get people for speeding. You can question their estimation skills in court but i seriosly doubt that it was one of these vehicles. Highway are fitted with radars and video cameras. If you do allect to go to court and plead not guilt, then the police have enough evidence to prove the offence. Seriously court will only cost you more money. Speeding is a very easy offence to prove. All the police have to show is that you were the driver of a motor vehicle on a road or road related area and that you were exceeding the speed by 45km. Talk to a solicitor but i think they will all say the same thing.

    • Have you done your thinking backwards? 3 bar, 43.5 psi pressure drop being the presumed specification for an injector, means you need 3 bar upstream when they are firing into atmospheric pressure, and more upstream pressure than that when on boost (you add your boost to your rail pressure to maintain 3 bar across the injector) and you need..... less pressure upstream when you have vacuum in the manifold. So, presuming that you're idling at -10 psi, then you only need ~23 psi in the rail. I realise that I did not need to say all of that to you specifically Matt, once you'd realised your mistake. It's mostly there for complete clarity for others.
    • Have you reached out to the guys at Spool Imports? They are a Ross dealer, I can imagine they would have the rings just sitting on the shelf (I could be wrong).  
    • There's one for sale at Grand Auto Wreckers in Lonsdale (SA), for .... let's suggest the sum they're asking for will make you cry. You may have to embrace the idea of modifying the rear subframe to accept some other diff. You could probably find a way to wangle a shortnose into there, with a custom rear adapter and some sort of shenanigans to relocate the front mounts. This has probably already been done by others, so there might be some guidance available as to how easy/impossible it is, out there in the googles. But you possibly needn't restrict yourself to Nissan diffs if you're going to contemplate that. There are similarish Toyota diffs, possibly some Euro ones, possibly some Seppo ones.
    • The ball joint taper and arm taper have to match angle and diameter, but just doing the bushes is a much better option.....seems like the industry moved to "it is cheaper to replace the whole arm than take on the labour for changing this bushes", glad the aftermarket supports it
    • Gee she looks a bit rear heavy in that first pic! Sounds like a great project with the kids, but as I guess you know R series stuff is getting hard to find and pre that is pretty much impossible these days
