It's called "Manslaughter" and not "Murder" for a reason. This is not the USA so the whole "Self defence" act isn't as lawful here in Australia. You murder someone by accident (Whether it be rage from finding your missus in bed with another man - yep - it's not murder if you kill the guy or if it's a drunken punch on the side of the road out of stupidty).

You kill soemone in any defence act it's classed as manslaughter. It may be out of self defence but you'll have a manslaughter charge - this is the case unless I have been taught falsely which wouldn't suprise me lol

So Manslaughter is a Charge. Just because you kill someone in self defence does not mean you will be charged with manslaughter. If the Police think you have acted unlawfully in the act of defending yourself you may be charged with man slaughter.

Have you ever done any security training and learned about the force continuum etc?

If you have defended yourself using appropriate force you will not be charged. I.e. if someone attacks me with his fist and I hit him once with my fist and he die's I would not be charged.

However if a person attacks me with his fist and I pull out a gun and shoot him I would be. The force did not match the threat.

However there are variances to this. So if a female was being attacked by a man and she shot him (with legal firearm ownership) in self defence she may be ok as she could say she legitimately feared for her like. However it is viewed differently if this was a male to male scenario.

Read the last bit of my sentence.

    • After using a protractor for an actually accurate assessment of what is required,  and by NOT using my uncalibrated eyeball I worked out I need a 25° silicone bend from the TB ro the MAF, but, my choice was either a 30° or a 23° (23° is a weird spec), so I grabbed the 23° one from Raceworks I also grabbed 1mtr of 3" straight from Just Jap, I needed 350mm, but they only had 300mm, or 1mtr lengths....meh Also ordered a 1/2" hose bulkhead fitting from fleabay, this has a smoothish mushroom looking head (they are designed for below the water line of boats) that will fit inside the bend, the hose bit and threaded bit looks to long, but nothing that a hacksaw cannot fix if required, the hose will then just get jamed on the threaded bit up to the retaining nut Fingers crossed and the unsightly amount of hose clamps will be reduced down to 4 once all the parts arrive 
    • Oil change does not trigger code 21. Code 21 is for coilpacks primary side connection. You can try to clear the code with a battery disconnect, hold down the brake pedal to drain capacitors through the brake lights with the ignition on for 10-15 seconds before you reconnect the battery. I have seen R35 coil conversion permanently cause this code with no ill effects so it might be the resistance it wants to see isn't quite right on one or more coilpacks. Could be inside the ECU, could be the harness, could be a coil. You can test it all if you want or just ignore until the car actually starts misfiring.
    • I forgot you have a Nistune ECU. Use Nistune to do all the tests I mentioned instead of faffing with 30+ year old electrical connectors. You can read MAF volts off that too, there are reference values in the service manual to tell you roughly what it should be in different conditions.
    • No. I think it might be the AFM. Hence the use of the terms "swaptronics", which implies the use of swapping out electronics for the purpose of diagnosis. It's about the only way to prove that a small/niggling/whatever problem with an AFM or a CAS or similar is actually caused by that AFM/CAS/whatever. A known good item swapped in that still gives the same problem is likely to be caused somewhere else. They're all the same. Spraying AFMs with cleaner is an each way bet between cleaning it and f**king it.
    • Oh wow! This might actually work amazingly. Do you know the ratio of the diff? I was told the only thing you need to make sure of is if the front & rear diff ratios are the same. Ours is a 4.083 Thanks!
