Lol Jeremy. You complain too much! Consent from passengers? WTF. It's my car. If you don't like it. There's a footpath on the side of the road. Simple as that :blink:

Amen. Driver decides when to leave. Driver decides whether he or passengers can smoke.

As of july 1st there are some new finable offences and massive fine increases. Some interesting ones I thought I would inform you of are below.

It's now an offence to smoke in car with a person under 18 present. $239. I would expect a lot of these could/would be issued and a lot of unhappy smokers.

Another interesting one is Offensive behaviour by a person in a motor vehilce (only in St kilda) $119

Drunk in public place is has gone up to a massive fine of $478, offensive behaviour is now $478 also. Big night out could become very expensive if you don't behave.

I wouldn't be surprised if they have an operation "quit" campain to target driver's smoking in above circumstances.

fines fines fines, we need more fines.

I think some of these are taking it a bit far. Offensive behaviour in a motor vehicle thats ridiculous you cant book everyone who gives someone the finger after someone cutting them up. I like the idea of banning smoking in cars with minors in them, but to be completely fair to smokers if its legal you should be able to smoke where ever the hell you want. You cant say to a person here buy a packet of cigarettes for $15 most of which is taxes and you can only smoke them outside your own house when none of your kids are around. The government should either STFU about smoking or make it illegal one thing or the other, not this in between bullshit which demonises smokers for being addicted to a government sanctioned substance.

Just for the record i'm not a smoker, but they are people too.

Alright, well next time you're in my car, without your consent I'll let off a stink bomb and make you breathe it in and have your clothes stinking of it :sick:

im actually happy with these new fines, especially the no smoking one..my gf's cousin is 16 and fkn smokes in her mums car when im in it and i fkn hate it...so i pray she cops a nice fine.

whats the law on this since if i read right its the minor who is smoking? i know under 18s cant buy smokes but its not illegal for them to smoke should they happen to stumble across a packet?

I reckon the smoking law is stupid, when I was 18, i was the 1st of my freinds to get my P's and we used to all smoke in the car together. (I was 18 andd some of them were 17 at the time). Seems kinda stupid that a 17yr old can legally smoke if they want to but u cant smoke if there are in the car?!?! Also if a 17 yr old is smoking in the car when every1 else is 18+ do they get a fine for exposing themselves to 1st hand smoking??!?!?

Stupid law, it shoulb be for persons under the age of 16 - in line with the age that it is illegal to smoke.

      R33 GTST Steering Rack (49001-19U05) Rebuild?

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      I hadn't thought about the variable power steering assist. Presumably, it will always be the same level of assist as you get in an S14. The R32/3/4 are either helliishly heavy (at low speeds) if the solenoid is not powered at all, or hellishly too light (at high speed) if it is powered all the time. I presume that it is PWM controlled on those cars. I hadn't thought about the S cars not having variable assist. ugh. What crappy plebby cars they must be!

      Hmm yeah that is a good point. It looks like it'll just bolt in with no real issue besides maybe the bushings being different. My other concern was that 2 pin plug that I assume is used in some way to control the rack solenoid depending on the speed signal from the ecu. The DMAX rack doesn't even have that plug though so, don't think it'll matter. Might just order the rack and see how it goes. Will update this when I figure something out

      I'd say it's a fair bet that the feed and return fluid lines will be in different enough spots that you would need to come up with a way to cut the originals short and adapt with new hard line adaption or braided teflon hoses or somesuch. But really, you have the car, you have the photos of the DMAX rack - you should be able to go out there and see for yourself whether they're in the same or different spots.

      I've been doing some looking around and honestly was just considering throwing a new rack at it. I saw that the dmax silvia rack bolts up into the 33 with the silvia bushings but not sure if the high pressure lines will sit in the correct spot. I believe other version of the 33 rack are the same/similar to the racks that can be opened up without as much fuss so I assume the dmax rack would fit but any ideas?

      I've never played with one, but I would expect that you are correct. That slot looks like it is intended to be used to unscrew the end, and the flats on the body would be better than grabbing it around the round bit with a pipe wrench. So, yeah, probably unscrews. You'll probably have to make a tool to drive in that slot.
