Hi guys

i just got home from my court case and im pleased and not pleased with my result, lemme start from the beggining so yous know my story june 4th i was comming down heatherton road in dandenong and turning onto princess hwy its 3 lanes extending into 4, it about a 90 degree turn maybe a ltitl emore room anywya it aint to difficult due to so many lanes anyway it was a wensday night about 1 am and no1 was on the road so i thought mad a nice time to practise some of my drifting, anyway i excelerated abit took the corner reasonably if i might add for my driving skill and to my suprise when i fully turned the corner and straigtend up a police vechele was hiding on the side i guess probly trying to mesure speed, and as u would prosume there lights went on and pulled me over, to cut a long stoy short i was summunsed to court and they said, theyll give me 3 things to do if i Pleed guilty i wont loose my licence so i agreed they were, (1 write an apology letter to the arresting officer for endangering his life due to drivers stupidity. may i add i was nowhere near him. 2) pay a "valenteery" fee of $100 to any charity of my choice 3) and take a safe driving coarse. and show then all this by sept 15th which isnt even a month away

so the purpose of all this was to ask u guys do you know any safe driving school i rang aami they qoueted me like $275 for 2 hours using my car and racv $205 using there vechicle but they have a 4 wekk waiting list and cant squeeze me in any earlier. but i highly doubt u can use a skyline for a safe driving coarse anyway. have any of you done them how much and where cheers!

there is a place in kilsyth on either liverpool or colchester road (cant remember which one) called Metec.... i was looking at going there back in the good old days when they used to give you a discount on your insurance premium for having done a 'driving' course :D last i checked it was about $175 dollars....

oh and since you dont have to walk i would say the court case went ok :)

in some senses risto you were unlucky! back when I was young and dumb I did the same thing (except the cop was coming the other way - not hiding in the bushes). He pulled me over and asked me if I knew why I was being pulled over. he told me it was because "you didnt have your indicator on. dont do it again. And dont drive like an idoit" and he let me go! And it was done leaving the pub car-park.

They're not ALL complete bastards.

    • 98 r34 gtt Been rocking my latest setup and car running like never before. Have put a good 200 miles on it since all the latest changes and additions. everything is dialed in and have been driving it a bunch.   However, all a sudden last weekend as soon as I pushed throttle passed 4k and the engine stumbles, (slow or fast acceleration) hesitates and doesn’t go above 4100 or so, like a misfire. Everything else seems fine. I had a “good” set of coil packs that I removed from car when I first got it when I changed them over to new coils. I swapped out current ones for those, but no change. I also changed the plugs, no change. Seems to rev over 4 when out of gear with no load just fine no “misfire”, but as soon as its in gear with a load of any kind, it “misfires” as soon as rpm drop back below 4 k it runs perfectly, smooth, starts, restarts and drives fine as long as I keep it below 4 k while in gear. All readings look fine, no CEL   Any idea as to what could all a sudden cause an issue when pushing rpms passed 4 k?
    • When you say your cams are 272/262 is that 272in and 262ex?
    • We're arguing semantics. I am saying 45 accel and a 55 deccel ramp are "2 ways". Even a 45 degree ramp and an 89 degree ramp is "2 ways", because it is literally... two ways. The cusco 55/30 ramp is a 2 way. It's two ways. I get it though - in normal nomenclature a "2 way" would be 45/45 or 55/55 or 60/60 i.e the same locking in both directions. And something like 45/65 would be considered "1.5 way". I would then say if we're getting into the nitty gritty then every locking diff is a "2 way" diff and we should not speak in 1.5, or 2 ways but ramp angles instead. Which ofc if one of those ramp angles is 90deg, that side is not doing any locking. :p So Nismo don't obviously sell 3 things. The fact of the matter that they only sell two items really goes to show that there's a 2 way and a "1,5 way" which is really a 1 way. I believe the actual lockup for the 'adjustability' of the GT pro is really just setting preload for when the ramps actually start locking up. It's not changing how much 'wayness' there is. It is (somehow) horribly explained. People just buy whatever diff and go "locks up good bruh" and that's what ends up on socials forever.  
    • No, you're wrong, and you've always been wrong about this. The Nismo has 2 sets of openings. One is a real 2-way, and the other is a 1-way. There is no 1.5-way possible with the ramps that they offer. A real 1.5-way does exist. That Cusco stuff I posted is a prime example. If the forward drive ramps are, say 55°, and the overrun ramps are, say, 30°, then you will get about half as much LSD effect on overrun than you do on drive. It is real, it realy works. OK, you're slightly right. The Nismo has 55° and 45° ramps on the 2-way, so it does offer less LSD effect on overrun. But, I think that just means that they've (probably) sensibly established that you do not want actually equal LSD effect on overrun. You just want "quite a lot, but not quite as much as the drive LSD effect".
