Hmmm Lawyer, not too sure at the moment.

the website is exactly the same design, all they have changed is the colours of the boarders, same photos and everything.

the only thing that is different is the front page. I just think it's really poor form and discredits our company. When someone makes a website wouldn't they want to make it there own design? Why would they want to copy someone else's, I don't understand.

From the whining it sounds like it's an original job but I have my doubts.

Unless you are providing some kind of paid service that involves your companys' IP you've got nothing.

who designed your company's site? was it in house or out sourced to a site designer? if it was in house, did they do the whole thing from scratch or did they use a template?

our website was outsourced.

Well then you really don't have a leg to stand on. what's not to say the same guy didn't make the other site too? pretty sure that technically speaking the site creator owns the design not your company.

Hahaha, fair point... but the guy didn't design the other one. it would be pretty funny if he did though. has this happened to anyone else though?

bound to have happened a million times over already given every man and his dog has a webpage these days.

i'd say there will be many cases of web designers pulling a sneaky one and pulling out an old template from a previous job, passing it off as new work and charging full money for doing half the work lol.

whos to say your designer didnt do that to yours in the first place? lol

      Jacks that fit under GTR lips that can reach the subframe?

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      Maybe? I have the Supercheap ToolPro low thingo. It has a somewhat smaller diameter lifting "bowl" than you would expect on a workshop grade trolley jack, and a split rubber pad to suit that diameter. It clears the "N1" style skirts I have. Probably wouldn't if the jack's bowl and a suitably larger rubber block were in use. Having said that though.....you only need the rubber block to exist on the inner side of the pinchweld, so could carve away any rubber that fouled the skirt, leaving some there for "insurance" </simples>

      I used to do that (sills with rubber jack block).. ... then I got side skirts, and there's no way for the jack to actually work there, the jack pad itself on the jack is too big. Is the answer to use a... smaller (?) jack? Hmmm.

      I have too much trauma from every skyline I've ever seen having crushed jack points/pinch welds lol.    Yep, works 100%, it's what I use when I'm using the quick jack. Don't know why I can't also bring myself to do the same thing when I'm using a jack. I blame the skyline PTSD.

      The pinchweld is fine, even with a trolley jack, so long as you're not actually pushing on the pinchweld itself. More to the point, we shouldn't talk about lifting or supporting on the pinchweld, we should talk about using the sill "jacking points", which just happen to be adjacent to the pinchweld. I just have dense rubber blocks with grooves in them for each of the chassis stands and the trolley jack, that I use at the sill jacking points if/when I have to lift/support there. They put all the load onto the steel pad of the jacking point and not the pinchweld. As intended.

      Makes sense.  I would do something different if I felt like there was a better option. Generally the only other area I'm happy to jack on is where I want to put the stand. The pinch weld is not an option for me for either the jack or stands, so very limited options overall.  Plus never having had an issue with doing this, has kinda reinforced in my mind that it's fine. I'd do it on any car without a second thought these days lol.
