    Ever had Mr Pig Officer follow you home?

    I like to think of it this way:

    If I tally up all the times i've done something completely illegal (feel free to insert stupid/risky/suicidal) on the road and got away with it and subtract the number of times a cop has so much as looked in my direction without my giving him any reason, then I would still be ahead by a long way. now I can't account for the driving style's of all the members of SAU, but I fell pretty certain that this would apply to the vast majority.

    P.S Tosh - What goes on tour stays on Tour, you little 50c salad eater!

    Gotta agree that bushes are the best option for a road car.

    Have to disagree with SK on the spherical bearing deal though. I've got non greasable sphericals on both my castor rods and my rear upper links on an S14. Both have now done over 40,000km with near zero problems. I had to remove the rear arms at one point and apply bearing lock to the spacers either side of the spherical bearing balls to stop the spacers rotating relative to the chassis mounts but otherwise haven't had any trouble with them. The only reason I don't recommend them for mainly street driven cars is the increase in NVH they cause due to the loss of compliance. For hard driven street/track cars they are perfect.

    Diff repair for the R34, where to go?

    There's a place in Canberra where I got my cusco 2 way rebuilt for my S14. I know he does a lot of late model import stuff. Last time I was in there he had a late model evo diff and a Kaaz 2 way for a skyline on the bench, I'm sure he could handle it if you want to send it to Canberra.

    To be honest I think most diff specialists would be able to handle it. Diffs are fairly standard inside. It would just be a matter of getting parts to suit, which would just require a bit of waiting for Nissan. My cusco was done in less than a week.

    Optimax - Where Did It All Go???

    Be very carefull using octane booster instead of 98 octane fuel. When it says on the octane booster bottle that it raises the octane level by 4 or 5 octane points that means .4 or .5 of an octane ie if you fill up with 95 octane and add an octane booster that raises the octane level by 5 points then the result is 95.5 octane fuel.

    Still well below 98.

    And double dosing isn't the solution either. Octane booster is designed to work in a certain ratio adding more than the recomended amount will no doubt increase the octane rating a little further, but a double dose doesn't raise the rating twice as much.

    I learnt this the hard way. Luckily I only got audible detonation not detonation induced block ventilation :Oops:

    My prefered anti A-hole device is a simple can of shaving cream and a ball point pen. You simply shake the can stab it with the pen and throw you cream grenade into their car. The things go nuts! They jump and hiss and everything within 6 feet ends up smeared in shaving cream.

    I first heard of this being used on army cadets in the middle of the night. Someone would open the door and yell at the top of their voice GRENADE then his mates would throw four or five cream grenades in. I'm assured that its an hilarious site.
