Free Speech Rights & Australian Law

"Everyone shall have the right to freedom of expression; this right shall include freedom to seek, receive and impart information and ideas of all kinds, regardless of frontiers, either orally, in writing or in print, in the form of art, or through any other media of his choice."

hahaha thanks for warning me im not a mod geee so that means i dont have to follow the rules yeah?>

Steve has a point, as do ya'll...

a) One rule is for the users of this website - follow their rules or hit the highway

b) One rule is a federal law for speech in general.

When you sign up for SAU, you are asked to abide by the terms and conditions. These usually encompass rules which go above and beyond the law, or have a caveat that you are willingly becoming a member on the condition that you forfeit that right on this individual forum. So you're both right..

That said, the rule was to stop people trash talking a business when it isnt justified - sometimes this happens.

And on the flipside, if there was a shithouse business out there, I would not want to give them my business - which is where the rule comes in, as the mods of this forum dont want businesses to lose customers on the basis of a single report (which could be biased and unverified). Ultimately the mods have discretion, and its a grey area at best.

I think a bit of flexibility is required. For example, I posted a very vague reference to a dodgy auto electrician near my house and never got cautioned or pmmed about it. I think its more a safety clause incase a business threatens SAU with libel suit. Andrew and Pete could possibly add more to this, but tbh it comes down to commonsense. You can post your experiences publicly without naming names, and if people are that concerned they can always PM you to ask you your personal (and more importantly, unpublished and uncensored) opinion.

-D

EDIT : Remember, if you defame someone in speech or audio its slander. In print it's Libel and attracts a more severe legal penalty.

    • I thought it could be an issue because the standard plate was flexing when stressed. Maybe the original gear set will hold a bit better without flex? Last time on the dyno it made around 670nm at the hubs. Now it have bigger turbo and better intake but have not been on a dyno yet. The car is being used from family trips to drag race events. So the shifts can be a little violent. It is grinding if I shift to fast so was thinking I should overhaul it soon.
    • From the factory on RB26s there's a fitting on the intake manifold collector/"plenum" that provides pre-throttle boost signal. That's how they did it back in the day, I figure it's fine to replicate it.
    • I would be surprised if that wasn't the issue. It's probably telling you, that even if you remove the plastic liner, you may have some other clearance issues that may occur too in some scenarios. IE, tyre to guard. It looks like someone has already rolled the lip, but you may still have issues in the future IE, turning and hitting a bump etc. The fact it changes how bad it makes the noise when you are going backward vs forward is highly indicative that it's the tyre rubbing. They do make a terrible sound, even if you're only pushing a project car that has a liner hanging down on a tyre!   Has the car been lowered? If it has been, what is the measurement from the centre of the wheel hub to the lip of the guard straight up?

    • Mark's a bit smarter than people give him credit... He'd convince the person that is to become dead, to drive him to the forest first. That way his car has no evidence in it, and he's free to dispose of their vehicle permanently how he sees fit too...
