I'm confused..... Cop was flying down road with lights going (obviously going to attend to a problem), car pulls out and makes him lock up and he decides this is more important than initial problem???????????????????

after interpreting his post and converting it to english it looks like the cop was driving along (apparently very fast) without the lights on, locked up to avoid hitting OP then put lights on and pulled him/her(?) over.

Guys stop this conversation as we cannot understand the phrase he's trying to said! I read this as he was pulling off may be drift through the ocean reef t junction and the cops at the back find this intresting and they want to give it a try, so the drift it as well. Point is to show whose the daddy. Anyway we need FBI to investigate what he's trying to say!

meanwhile, how do cops lock up their wheels? I'm pretty sure it would be an FG or VE they are driving with standard ABS, so at worse they dropped the anchors and broke very hard.

I'm with everyone on the bad pulling out of traffic 101. Maybe the cop cut you some slack because you were on your P's and a more experienced driver should know better, which I think makes sense. Just don't end up like those tosser P platers on the road that think they are the best drivers around because they've played gran turismo for 4 years.

So you're allowed to be a shit driver if you only just got your license, but if your off your Ps you need to be pro ?

That's a shit excuse.

No, but inexperienced drivers should be given some slack. If you're an L-plater are you expected to know how to drive straight away? Or are you allowed to get better with practice? The purpose of P-Plates is to show that you are an inexperienced driver who might not react as you would expect in every situation.

L platers should be listening to their instructor...so they're never really put in a situation where they can misjudge a T-Junction and cut off a cop car.

L Platers arent full qualified drivers so yes, some slack should be expected, hut one you have your license, Ps or not, you should know how to drive.

P-platers are not full qualified drivers either. Something as simple as misjudging a gap should not be condemned as inability to drive, rather as a lack of experience. Do it once and you won't do it again. Hence experience.

Doesnt mean not qualified...it means you're a newbie, so behave. Ie you're under more restrictions and on a "good behavior bond" kind of thing.

Over East, you get 6 demerit points, are not allowed passengers, cannot drive between 00:00 - 05:00 (unless directly to/from a workplace), and cannot drive high powered cars (boosted 4/6 cyl, 8cyl).

      Duncan's V37.......race car?

      By MBS206 · Posted

      Something I meant to say when we were chatting the other night about having an open trailer floor being great to work on a car, but you've never used the feature... It's a great place to park a car after doing suspension component changes, and do the tightening of all the bushes with the car sitting at full ride height. Especially when you don't have a 4 post hoist!

      That is way more science than even I would use. I just eyeball it, not even accounting for the non-verticality of the tape measure when held on the lip and the centre at the same time. +/- 2mm is good enough for the girls I go out with.

      So, before putting them in I need to understand the stock ride height. This is how I measured it: First, check the diameter of the wheel's centre cap, it was 52mm. Then put a piece of masking tape approximately across the centre and measure 27mm (half) from at least 3 sides to get a reasonable idea of the centre of the wheel cap. Mark that with a horizontal line as one measuring point. Then, directly above the wheel on the guard, put another piece of masking tape in approximately the centre. Use a string line to find out the point on the guard above the centre of the wheel cap and mark that. Then it is simple, just a tape measure to check the distance from centre of the wheel to the centre of the guard. Final results where  LF: 381mm RF: 379mm LR: 401mm RR: 400mm Pretty even considering they are 120,000klm old factory springs, lets call that 380 front and 400 rear.

      So....knowing that I have a problem with power steering temps on track and another Wakefield day booked in next Friday, I've done the obvious thing They are very reasonably priced at $1650, considering they are a big monotube shock, double height adjustable (don't have to change pre-load to change ride height), one way adjustable damping and standard sized and customisable springs if you want something other than what comes with them. They come with 9kg/mm front and 4.5kg/mm front and I went with that as a starting point because I'll add adjustable sway bars too https://justjap.com/products/bc-racing-coilover-kit-ds-ds-infiniti-q50-v37-14-current#description Unfortunately they didn't come with rear strut tops so I've re-used the factory ones which was a bit of a pain. Also, the adjuster for the rear shock will be an absolute nightmare to get at, and while there are extensions in the kit I can't see any way you can actually attach or use them

      One Headlight isn't working - Driver Side Fuse Keeps blowing

      By Duncan · Posted

      I also had 2 bulbs blow at once, years ago in the stagea. made for a fun drive home. The issue was the voltage regulator had failed in the alternator and it was giving 15+ volts. Really, I was lucky all that was fried were the headlight bulbs. So, I'd suggest you check the voltage across your battery terminals with the car running and warmed up. Yes, you will need a multimeter to do so, sorry.
