Sigh, forced to take 12 days of annual leave from the 22nd to the 12th of Jan because not going well / no work around.

know that forced leave feel.

but boss doesnt keep track of how much I have accumulated, sooo... he'd probably be nice enough to allow me 3 weeks without much questions

Well I'm forced to take one of those weeks unpaid, because I'd go -22 hours otherwise, and f**k that if i want to go away anywhere next year would be too hard and have no leave. A bit annoying, but I'll try to enjoy the time off and go upto Bright with the family/friends anyway probably.

Definitely. I don't believe in hurting the people that cared about the idiot. It's not thier fault and they have lost a mate no matter how much of a scumbag he is was

This, which is the reason I'm not on the VicPol FB saying he deserved it.

But I do wish it was more widely reported as stolen rather than credited as his bike, cause that seems to have been largely swept under the rug and family/friends certainly won't make mention of that. Very surprised the media missed that or police neglected to mention - their page is littered with reports of stolen vehicles involved in crashes or other crimes.

Perhaps when it's a fatality they figure it's a small detail?

I'd say a relevant detail given bike was being ridden with no number plates and speed was clearly a factor in the accident. Poor woman driving is being discredited/FBshamed by all these motorcyclists for being a shit driver when it's obvious he was speeding on a bike that wasn't his to begin with.

What if it was a stolen exotic car? Ultimate media dilemma.

Asshole arrogant rich man doing 280 crashes and dies

Or

Thief stole some rich mans exotic car and then died from a lethal amount of hooning

Yeah I'm not disagreeing just offering a suggestion as to why they left out that detail

Think they left it out because the journos would have asked for a few details at the scene and cops neglected to mention it was stolen / hadn't established it at the time. I'm just surprised they haven't updated the report. But at the same time, a motorcyclist dying doesn't constitute coverage these days, which is pretty sad, both because of the media's attitude and that it is so common..the latter probably causing the former. We'd rather here about the freak death of a cricketer who turns out was every Australian's best friend, that I'd never heard of prior to his death.

    • It says 300ZX, does that make it an Aus delivered car? Funny how back in the day I just couldn't care less about Z32's and these days I am just in love with them. Back when Nissan was into pushing the envelope. 🤣
    • Hi guys, just after some guidance with an R34 sunroof that has stopped working correctly. It still opens and closes perfectly fine, but it no longer tilts/vents up or down. As a result, the rear of the glass now sags a bit as it drops down slightly in order to retract into the roof, but now it can't pop upwards into a flush position. I’ve probed the pins on the back of the switch connector with a multimeter and it seems like both switches (for open/close and tilt/vent) still work correctly. Any ideas on what it could be, or where I should even start in terms of diagnosing? I'm sure someone's had this issue before but I haven't been able to find anything online relating to this specific issue, most of the issues are with the seals leaking or the motor failing entirely. Thanks in advance!
    • Do you have some data like fuel pressure? It's really hard to say if you're still fighting a fuel system issue at this point. Could be something weird like the FPCM dipping out.
    • Yeah in that case, pulling the dent out. Event a very slight dent can create a lot of work filler-wise and there is a strong chance the panel won't be the factory shape when you are done (as the dent will result in a new high point created somewhere, then everything is brought up to that new high point... but the panel shouldn't be that high if that makes sense).  So you've filled and primed the panel and it is flat, why would you go back and remove the primer and add more filler? 
    • Something else I have been faffing with while the car was off the road is making the AC work. Assuming the car isn't at a thermal limit the idea of having AC while waiting in line to go on track sounds delightful. I have actually been lugging around the weight of the entire system since 2018 when the RB25NEO went in without it working at all.  The main reason was in the first few events before I got around to re-gassing it the rubber hose that runs under the manifold had the factory heat wrap/sleeve fail resulting in this: ~2 years ago I purchased a complete used R32 AC line set but when I finally went to install it the line i needed was different where the expansion section is I found a local place that was able to replace the rubber section and re-crimp. They also added some modern heat sleeve to the hose Tight fit but fingers crossed this is the last physical piece of the puzzle needed
