Something is wrong with our system.

Hmm - while he was a bit silly for not getting the DPI to state in writing that he was allowed to get his license back, there are govt f*k ups that work in our favour. Unfortunately for him it did a backflip and caught him..

Dan/Rob - you guys are probably right in some respects, but are also being pretty harsh in others.. we've all done stupid things when we were younger, I think there's alot of luck involved.. It's the old - "I got away with it, know I was lucky & know not to do it again" syndrome.. hindsight is a wonderful thing.. and Rob - someone like you or me or Dan could probably have about 5 std drinks and not blow more than 0.02, but a 17/18 year old without as much around the middle as us would be a different story.. :D

I think Joe has come up with the best way of attacking this. Write to the Ombudsman for unfair/inconsistent treatment by the Police/DPI and get a good Lawyer. I'm sure they're just trying to throw the book at him, but once the real circumstances are found out by a Judge things may look a bit more favourable for him..

That said - he still has another 7 months to serve on the suspended license - if he gets away with just having to do that and nothing else he should count himself lucky, not be pissed off at the system that made a paperwork muckup that he took advantage of..

My 2 cents anyways for what it's worth.. :)

i think ur friends goin down and it will for for quite awhile. his best chance of getting off is calling in the media. but to do that he has to admit he was a bad driver in the first place or they will pin everything on him.

with the license he was still probationary. if he lost his licence or had it suspenned when u get ur licence back your 'p' plate period starts afresh.

unless they have changed that law in the last few years. this happened to a friend i use to work with.

the media would cricify him the same way that dan and rob have.

get a good lawyer

dont rely upon the misgivings of an internet forum.

sounds like he's ****ed himself by listening to people that don't know what theyre talking about enough already.

I can sympathise with his plight though.

Also, you people basing these harsh views on very little information. I have lost my license previousely twice for Dangerous driving, yet in both instances I was no danger to anyone but myself, and even then it was minimal if at all. Also if I had gone to court with a lawyer I know both times i could probably have gotten off the offence. Naturally hindsight is a wonderful thing. :D

Its all his fault, Judge says, you dont drive for 12 months, you write down what day judge said this, and on that day in a year time you get your licence back, its pretty black and white if you ask me, of course some pencil neck in some office is gonna say sure, you can go for your licence, your over age, but the people who matter, the courts and to enforce this the police have said you dont drive for 12 months, geddit?

      Ah. OK. I take it back. I hadn't looked closely at the R33/4 arms and presumed that GKTech did as GKTech do everywhere else, which is to use sphericals there. The poly bushings are made to be 100% interchangeable, should use the standard bolt just fine. Every other bush in every other place in pretty much every other car, does.

      @silviaz Ok cool, so much easier with a video. I can see why this video would be confusing for new players.   It is obvious that this entire bonnet is going to be resprayed, have a look in the background around 2:05, you can see a bunch of bare metal on the left side of the bonnet.  It's not an issue for the primer being laid down on the non-prepped clear on the bonnet. It will be sanded off at a later stage.  This might not be obvious to new players, but working on bare metal and factory paint in this instance, the factory paint is like a mountain and the bare metal is a huge valley. The bonnet needs to be levelled flat before it receives it's final stage of colour and clear coat. During this levelling process, the primer that is landing on the clear that you are worried about will be removed.  Also, this guy is out of control. Zero PPE while spraying, maybe he is a good example overall about what not to do lol.

      Ok I FINALLY found a video lol. This took way longer than it should have as I could have sworn I saw multiple videos like this. I kept finding the completely opposite (the correct way of doing this). I wouldn't be surprised if I f**ked this up somehow.  I just realised where I've been getting confused and even with other things I work on. I haven't been doing things the regular way instead I'm going a roundabout way of doing things, like putting epoxy primer first then filler for example instead of putting just filler then primer on top of that, then wondering what happens if I get that primer on the clear coat that I haven't sanded yet. This was a bit of an epiphany 馃槀  But anyways, here this video. Time stamp, 2:56, some of the primer lands on the paint unscuffed above. You can see from the reflection it looks shiny.

      It does, this part circled in red. I assume the OEM bolt might not work well with the poly bushing because the dimensions may be different?

      The J arm doesn't have bushes either. Assuming that by "J arm" you mean the part of the upright that runs down from the upper arm's outer bushes to the top of the hub. That has a kingpin style bearing in it. If you meant the lower control arm, it has 1 bush, at its inner end. If you have PU in there, that is superior to Nismo rubber. If you meant the caster/tension rod - it has 1x bush at the front end, and again PU is superior to Nismo rubber. But as I said above, I would definitely get the GKTech arms for that, as sphericals slay all other options there.
