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.

      What should I do next to hold the head on

      By Gareth87 · Posted

      I can see between the water jacket and cyl 3 there wasn't a hard line of combustion gas. It certainly appears that the issue is coming from there. Yes, checked the tension. All at 100ft lbs where I set them 5 years ago. These blocks can crack but generally when they have been over bored. Mine is only 0.5mm oversize at 89.5mm. They break between cylinders around the 91mm mark. No sign of that with mine. My gut feeling is the head gasket lifted a while back when the studs stretched and i bandaided it by retorquing the studs. It's finally let go.

      So, version 4 intake is on its way I was looking at these a while ago but at around $200 or more it was a little pricey for something that might not work, but, I had it in my watch list, but, I got a message saying it was on special, and I had a code thingie to use, it eventually came in at $120 delivered, so BAM, BUY NOW.....LOL I'll need to have a look when it arrives but I feel it will "look" better than what I currently have, as it comes with a PCV fitting, so I will be able to get rid of the alloy pipe that goes to the throttle body with the PCV fitting  Well, that's what the voices in my head are telling me  Oh, and this happened today Yeap, it was a Trojan, and it was cheap, so I headed back to the hardware store and actually spent a little bit more on a heavy duty,  one that was actually recommended by a plumber mate, a Cyclone one with a fibreglass handle that is actually rated for clay The broken shovel will eventually be "modified" into a short handle shovel
