My mate had a car crash a few months ago , she was driving home one night. Looked down to get her red bull looked up hit a car and somehow managed launch the vehicle and turn it on its side (she is fine). The cops had a bit of of a giggle when she told them she looked down to get her redbull , they said " i guess red bull really does give you wings."

man i know how is this for pathetic

"I GET PULLED OVER FOR A (RANDOM INSPECTION :) ) AND THE ONLY THING THEY THOUGHT THEY COULD GIVE ME A DEFECT FOR WAS FOR NOT HAVING A SHINY EXHAUST!!!!!"

i was like ah how does get real sound what do you want me to do paint it???

they just target p platers to get them off the road once i took the plates down been pulled over once for a random breath test they are to look at me i make the rules not follow them

In south australia now if you turn your head and talk to your passanger you an get done nowadays. That ame in late last year along with the eating and drinking law.

Also some of th keys on my keyboard don't work so fill in the blanks.

Anyway, she's on her green P's and drives a Festiva. Hasn't had a fine yet. She was at a red light eating a sandwich, had been fasting for Lent and was starving. So that's why she was 'eat driving' ;)

The cop pulled her over, told her off, scared the sh!t out of her, and let her off with a warning.

WTF? Is it a traffic offence to 'eat drive'?

Vehicle at rest and eating, nothing wrong with that as its just sitting at a red light, going through the intersection sideways and eating a sandwich just makes you a f**king legen... silly bugger.

Hwy Patrol make up some laws as they go to suit the event.

I have heard some good ones over the years, I'll add this one to the list ;)

Course the best one I've seen as far as eating/driving was this hambeast of a woman in an XF falcon next to me in Sydney traffic a few years ago ripping into a bowl of cereal... doesn't do wonders for one's faith in humanity.

The stupid thing about it all is that the laws arent "clearly defined"... this gives the popos (cops) the power to harrass where they see fit... as Mr. Keets said they will just call what you did as something that can explain it.. yes that may be illegal but its changing the wording.. its quite stupid really.. the cops have every right to give you a ticket for practically anything.. only way to combat it is to take it into court.. comes down to a judge then and how they interpret the law

there isn't a judge alive I believe that would convict someone of eat driving

this would certainly be an ACA story

perhaps there is more to it, maybe the cop was following her and wondered why she was all over the road, and not driving in a straight line.

then when he realised it some some dumb P plater chick not paying attention and eating he thought it was a good idea to pull her dumb ass over

its a law. not allowed to drink and drive (that means anything) or eat. because you do not have both hands on the steering wheel if you are eating and its a distraction.

surely this would mean that it's illegal to drive with your hands on the gear stick? i swear 90% of people only have one hand on the wheel - even when they're not using the other one for anything (visible)

    • When you crank your car, and hit it with a timing light, can you see a steady crank timing?
    • Oh, forgot to add, A few months ago I was getting mixture codes and the car was using crap loads of fuel. You could smell the unburned fuel in the exhaust, it was crazy strong. Economy was over 17.5 l/100 and usually around 19. I smoked the engine and found a leaky CCV hose which I replaced and then I replaced my two pre cat O2 sensors, I also replaced the MAF. This fixed my mixture codes and improved my exonomy but I'm still 14 - 15 l/100 when pottering about town so something is still amiss. Throttle response is much better and it has more pep but I'd like to know why it's still so thirsty (and I'm hoping that whatever it is gives me a bit more poke).    
    • Car is on factory injectors/z32 maf/ q45 throttle body/ z32 ecu with nistune 
    • Hello all, currently finishing up a rb25 swap into my s14. Having issues with starting, car has spark (confirmed by pulling a plug and watching it spark), has fuel(confirmed by checking pulse/voltage at injectors all spark plugs are soaked in fuel). Car cranks over and pops into the exhaust with a heavy fuel smell but no attempt to start or run, I have torn the timing cover off and triple confirmed timing, turned the CAS in multiple spots both directions, attempted to start with coolant temp and maf unplugged, checked my fuel lines and made sure they weren’t backwards, checked voltage at cas/injectors/coilpacks, made sure all the grounds in the harness are connected and added a few grounding straps (1 from chassis to block, 1 from chassis to head, and 1 from chassis to igniter chip) I am getting stumped here. As a last ditch effort I made a full grounding harness tonight that’s going to run from the battery and add an extra ground from the battery onto the coil pack harness/igniter chip/ intake manifold/ Wiring specialties harness ground/ and alternator. I’m hoping maybe the grounding harness will fix it here but posting here to see if anyone has any other ideas on what else I can check. My fuel pressure is unknown right gauge will be here tomorrow.  IMG_3206.mov
    • yeah I was shocked when I checked my spare OEM on and as below that's how they come from Nissan. (side interesting note new NEO gearbox and replacement park lack the brass bush on the tips and its just all alloy) unsure about damage to the box currently back at 1110 to be pulled down/inspected and selector fork replaced as he built it previously and given the never before seen failure on his billet forks he is replacing it under warranty. He said he has used always OEM the keyway tab without issue for years so it could be an unlucky coincidence. I did talk to him about the sharp corners and stress concentration too. Re: hard shifts i got 7+ years out of the OEM one and the fork itself failed not the keyway. so could be bad luck as I said or an age thing + heat cycles in box and during fabrication of billet?
