What's the lesson in all this?

East at the dinner table or in front of the TV. :/

Whilst there is no specific offence for "eating" the offence of "Not have proper control" can cover a whole range of actions while driving. Think of the crazy old lady driving down the road with a silky terrier hanging out the drivers window. There is one example.

I remember seeing on the news or a current affairs type program where some lady was pulled over and fined for brushing her hair.

Like has been mentioned it can come under negligent driving,careless driving,dangerous driving etc etc.

I'm sure everyone here has had the experience of leaning down fiddling with the radio and then glancing up through the windscreen again and shitting yourself and getting hard on the brakes as someone up ahead has slowed to turn or something.

To anyone who smokes out there, ever flicked one out the window and realised its come straight back in? The last place you were looking was out the windscreen........

If your doing anything but driving then you aren't concentrating on driving 100% obviously and as such are not in full control of the vehicle in the eyes of the law. Short and simple way of saying it is don't do anything that distract's you ( eating, talking, smsing etc) of course you can't control somethings (kid's fighting etc.)) and you will be fine. Even if you get pulled over don't be an idiot and go OMG uleh wtf I was like fully hungry for teh sanwhich.

I have to agree with everyone else, its illegal to do, I wouldn't consider it dangerous but that doesn't make it legal :/

Good point that you can smoke and drive...never seen anyone get fined for that!

rofl :/

What if you're kids are ripping each other's hair out in the back?

What if you're BUSTING to pee?

What if you've worked the night shift and have had 2 hours sleep in 48 hours and drive home?

You won't get fined for those but they distract you.

I think every one would agree it is better to pull some one over for going over the speed limit then eating a sandwich :/ Off topic I am a little fat. I dunno why but I go to Hungry Jacks and buy meals for myself, my dad, my 3 yr old sister. my girlfriend and my dad's girlfriend and they straight away go " Is that dine in today?"

Smoking while driving is certainly illegal, even passengers arent allowed to in NSW if there are kids in the car. Now thats a good law. Also not allowed to have opened alcohol in the passenger compartment, even if being consumed by a passenger.

it's can be argued as negligent driving. so yeah, it can be illegal to eat/drink/smoke/wank/scrath yourself whilst operating a motor vehicle. I would assume the application of negligent driving law is up to the officer.

Damn I eat all the time driving between Perth and teh farm... :P

btw would negligent driving include coping a BJ? Even if you still had two hands on the wheel?? :D:ninja::D

haha holy crap wish id known that earlier...

few weeks ago i finished work early and was driving to the shops while eating a sandwhich, pull up to lights and a cop pulls up next to me so i raise the sandwhich in a 'cheers' fashion and take off casually from the lights. Side note, im a P-plater in a Skyline.

Dam lucky or just awesome cops

haha thats mad 'cheers' with the sandwich to a cop haha.

Even if you get pulled over don't be an idiot and go OMG uleh wtf I was like fully hungry for teh sanwhich.

hahah this is funny too.

i can understand the cop warning her for eating while driving IF it was in heavy traffic in a built up area

and being female good chance she'd need two hands to turn corners.

if its illegal to smoke in the car why do they have ash trays and lighters. its still a factory extra. im on my p's and i have been through a RBT on windsor road near bella vista (sydney) with a smoke and they have said nothin to me

High beams are factory items yet it's still illegal to be driving with them on when you're not supposed to. ;)

damn.. there's been quite a few times in the past when I'm running late for work.. I've had a McMuffin in one hand, steering wheel in the other.. can still change the gears with the same hand I'm holding the mcmuffin lol.. its much easier to do on a freeway though..

I used to be really naughty in my first car which was auto.. mascara.. brush hair.. lipstick.. these days its too hard to do that in a manual lol. ;)

Yeah, in 06 when I used to actually work with my old man out bush (full time), first thing monday morning, I'd usually hung over as f*ck from the sunday sesh... I used to have an iced coffee in one hand, a toasted sanga in the other, with a chicko roll on the passenger seat (along with my 2nd iced coffee)... ;)

Luckily those were the days I had the auto VL crumbledore...

      Stagea Front CV Axle Question

      By S1_C34 · Posted

      I ordered a GSP Front R/H Axle from here - https://justjap.com/products/gsp-premium-front-driveshaft-r-h-nissan-r32-r33-r34-skyline-gtr-stagea-4wd#description It lasted around a year before one of the boots blew out. I'm lowered, but I have GKTech roll center adjusters. One year seems a little premature. I think I'm going to spend the extra money on an OEM cv axle this time. This website - https://tfaspeed.com/collections/nissan-stagea-wgnc34-x-four-parts/products/nissan-stagea-awc34-260rs-rb26-right-front-axle-drive-assembly Makes it sound like the readily available OEM CV axle will only fit 11.1999 Stagea and up (mine is a 2.1997 S1). The JustJap listing didn't mention any years or anything for the GSP axle. Amayama shows '11.1999' and up as well for that part number. As well as 'plastic boot type'. See attached picture. So I guess my question is, does that axle (39100-23U60) really only fit S2 Stagea? It's the front driver side. If it does, I'd love to buy that instead of rolling the dice on another GSP. I've found that OEM one cheaper here: https://www.partsfornissans.com/oem-parts/nismo-jdm-r32-r33-r34-skyline-gtr-r32-gts4-right-front-axle-3910023u60 and here https://www.nissanparts.cc/oem-parts/nismo-shaft-ft-drive-3910023u60 Just a little confused because the JapSpeed listing for the GSP front driver axle doesn't mention any specific years or anything and it fit my S1 Stagea fine. So will 39100-23U60 fit my S1 Stagea even though technically it says '11.1999' and up? What would have changed? Thanks.

      CD009 RB Conversion

      By TurboTapin · Posted

      Thanks for the info. The only "Issue" I've had with the shifter is I always found the throw between 4th and 6th gear too close. I'm always worried to shift into 4th accidently and sending my motor to the moon. Adam LZ recently came out with a video and stated Serialnine revised their shifters to correct this and will change all the revised parts for 150$. Strangely enough, I contacted Serialnine right after and they denied it and said it's bullshit. I found that strange as he's a distributer. I'll keep this forum post updated on that saga.

      Yep that is correct. It allows you to adjust the short throw range from what I can tell

      R32 GTST - 600KW+ RB28/CD009 Build

      By TurboTapin · Posted

      Car has been running great, I've put about 300km's of break in time on it. First thing that stands out with properly sealing rings is no more noticeable crankcase smell coming out of my catch can. This may seem insignificant, but the constant smell while driving around was infuriating. It's also nice to see my oil level remain stable. Two new issues have developed that I only noticed this weekend though. There's a very noticeable driveline vibration past 100kmh. I only noticed it now as I've been babying it under 100kmh in the backroads. This comes as no surprise as I'm running a one-piece shaft, and I paid zero attention to my driveshaft angle when I put everything back in. I also have a fair bit of voltage drop on hot starts. The starter audibly is forcing. No issues on cold start though. I must not have removed all the paint under my main block ground during assembly. I'll try and take care of both those issues this week once the kids are asleep.  I also received all the parts I was missing for my direct port setup. I will hopefully have pictures of that up soon. I'm hoping to get back on the dyno the week of June 30th as I'll be on vacation. I'm confident I should be able to make north of 500rwkw on pump gas and WMI. I'll go back again later this summer with E98, but I want to confirm my ethanol content sensor is working properly first. I've never seen it read anything but 11%. This makes sense for our 10% ethanol content pump gas here, but I would expect the occasional movement between fill ups.

      The Evolution Of "night Fury"

      By jez NF · Posted

      75% complete. Will now need to get a new axle with 5x114.3 hubs and then figure out how to customize some mudguards for it once the wheels are on.
