50km/hr is a hard one even due to accuracies of speedos too.. my speed is out about 10km/hr most of the time, and I just have to guess. But spend $100's getting it fixed and calibrated? just to prove some arbitary limit that somebody has said that makes something safe?

Most of you will probably find out your speedos are within about 10%.. which makes the line between 55 and 50 so tiny, even when you are obeying it properly.

nice rant cyrus!!!!

The problem is guys it is all about money (as we all know) if it wasn't there would be a s*&t load more red light cameras and RBT's. It is easier and cheaper to set up a nice little van on the side of the road and leave it rather then set up a RBT near pubs. better yet if they honestly wanted to save lives why not have a cop wait outside the pub before people get in their cars and offer a RBT with no risk of fine (as long as if they are over the limit they don't get in their car). But no that would lose to much money.

Here is an observation for you, last year I was pulled over twice for an RBT (no issue with that as I totally agree with RBT),but that was only twice out of 365 days of driving and yet I saw at least one speed camera a week, now the unfortunate thing is I don't know one person that has a serious speed related accident but I have lost a couple of friends due to drink drivers. I would love to know the real stats on fatalaties but as far as my personal experience DD is a lot worse then speeding so why not put more money there.

    • Have you done your thinking backwards? 3 bar, 43.5 psi pressure drop being the presumed specification for an injector, means you need 3 bar upstream when they are firing into atmospheric pressure, and more upstream pressure than that when on boost (you add your boost to your rail pressure to maintain 3 bar across the injector) and you need..... less pressure upstream when you have vacuum in the manifold. So, presuming that you're idling at -10 psi, then you only need ~23 psi in the rail. I realise that I did not need to say all of that to you specifically Matt, once you'd realised your mistake. It's mostly there for complete clarity for others.
    • Have you reached out to the guys at Spool Imports? They are a Ross dealer, I can imagine they would have the rings just sitting on the shelf (I could be wrong).  
    • There's one for sale at Grand Auto Wreckers in Lonsdale (SA), for .... let's suggest the sum they're asking for will make you cry. You may have to embrace the idea of modifying the rear subframe to accept some other diff. You could probably find a way to wangle a shortnose into there, with a custom rear adapter and some sort of shenanigans to relocate the front mounts. This has probably already been done by others, so there might be some guidance available as to how easy/impossible it is, out there in the googles. But you possibly needn't restrict yourself to Nissan diffs if you're going to contemplate that. There are similarish Toyota diffs, possibly some Euro ones, possibly some Seppo ones.
    • The ball joint taper and arm taper have to match angle and diameter, but just doing the bushes is a much better option.....seems like the industry moved to "it is cheaper to replace the whole arm than take on the labour for changing this bushes", glad the aftermarket supports it
    • Gee she looks a bit rear heavy in that first pic! Sounds like a great project with the kids, but as I guess you know R series stuff is getting hard to find and pre that is pretty much impossible these days
