No no no, see as well as being an self certified  expert performance parts dealer, and pro race driver, Alex also dables in practising law in his spare time.

Dont make him unleash his wealth of legal expertise on us!

yea i hear he works for mines, dori, dodgy and co. whilst they arent certified and have no idea wtf they are talking about, they'll sure as hell offer advice for anyone whos willing to pay. When the advice turns out to be wrong they use their moto "you didnt need that anyway, its not my fault im dodgy" as a copout.

watch it josh he might sue for defamation, as he clearly thinks you can sue ppl for stating the truth.....funny how the law doesnt agree with him.

It’s funny when shmucks start and bring the law into it, when the have zero idea them selves. Good entertainment none the less

here's the watch. apparently even though it's not a rolex, it's actually better at the boost level in my part of the world. that's all that matters. the flow rate of the watch is not important. this one actually has 15 more minutes in each day at low boost.

So even though its not a Rolex, but is better then a Rolex, will it still dive to the same depth as a real Rolex? Not like I’ll ever need 150meters, I just need too know my flow depth rates,

Hey... just because 33NIZ doesn't understand defamation law no need to get nasty. :(

I don’t know weather that was sarcastic or not, too be in keeping with the rest of the tread, But I was agreeing with 33NIZ. I believe his studying law anyway..

:D

Yeah I'm a law expert too. After watching numberous TV shows like Law and Order, the practice, I'm expert now. I'm watching all CSI's now so hopefully by the end of the season I'll be a forensics cop.

yea.....i dunno whether hes being sarcastic or what...

Nismo-Boy: Unfortunately in Australia you can sue people for defamation, even if what they are saying is "true", they are suing you for damage to their reputation.

ummm....not exactly, i know im only a law student but the law of defamation isnt that extensive and you cant sue someone for defamtion if theyre simply stating something thats true about another. Defamation for damaging somones reputation is sought only if the person has stated untrue or misleading things that have lead to the damaging of the said persons reputation. If the statement is true, however it damages the other persons reputation, your still allowed to say it. Just like if a company sells you a dodgy car, your allowed to go to a current affair and have a winge..extreme example but it illustrates my point.

I’m no law expert, nor claim to be, but I have a very vague idea, as I having sued a police officer for defamation and final verdict is still pending in court.

But I don’t believe 33NIZ has said anything that would fall under this? Correct me if I'm wrong.

My basic point is this statement that 33NIZ made is wrong.

I also have experienced this law, fist hand. In a swimming pool case, the client had a pool installed that didnt meet the artificial rock look as promised by the pool company, it was dodgy and looked completely fake, there was white stains all over it caused by chlorine...(which wasn't supposed to happen) The client had bad mouthed this to a few of her friends and they expressed their concerns with the pool company upon buying the same product. The pool company sued the client for defamation and it was thrown out of court as the statements made by the client were proved true and in no way misleading, hence legal.

by all means correct me if im wrong Gojira but as i have studied this law and seen it practiced in the past this is the way it has played out. Perhaps there can be many interpretations of this law..it wouldnt be a rarity.

Sorry, got a phone call half way through typing this

In Australia you can sue people for defamation, even if what they are saying is "true"

You are suing them for damage to your reputation.

If what was said was indeed true, that is a valid defence against a defamation law suit.

If you have a right to say it, you have a legal defence. There are three main types of defence against a libel (published defamation) or slander (oral defamation):

* what you said was true;

* you had a duty to provide information;

* you were expressing an opinion.

For example:

* You can defend yourself on the grounds that what you said is true.

* If you have a duty to make a statement, you may be protected under the defence of "qualified privilege." For example, if you are a teacher and make a comment about a student to the student's parents -- for example, that the student has been naughty -- a defamation action can only succeed if they can prove you were malicious. You are not protected if you comment about the student in the media.

* If you are expressing an opinion, for example on a film or restaurant, then you may be protected by the defence of "comment" or "fair comment," if the facts in your statement were reasonably accurate.

* There is an extra defence if you are a parliamentarian and speak under parliamentary privilege, in which case your speech is protected by "absolute privilege," which is a complete defence in law. The same defence applies to anything you say in court.

The same basic defences apply throughout Australia, although the things you have to prove to apply them may differ. For example, in some Australian states, truth alone is an adequate defence. In other states, a statement has to be true and in the public interest -- if what you said was true but not considered by the court to be in the public interest, you can be successfully sued for defamation.

    • 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 😂  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.
