Almost - Platinum and other rare materials. The value of platinum is so high that there are stories of people stealing cats from cars overnight etc, for the rare metals inside to sell. So almost lined with gold yeah.

I'm taking my box off tomorrow. I heard this was also the way to remove the spigot bush. If that's a bad idea, how to you get it out? Can it be pried out? I don't wanna hit a brick wall at 6PM when everything is shut. Cheers.

"Police from the Metropolitan Crash Investigation Unit are appealing for witnesses following yesterday’s fatal crash on the F3. The collision occurred about 1km south of the Peats Ridge Road on-ramp, Somersby, about 4.30pm yesterday (Monday 30 May). Early investigations suggest a silver Holden Commodore, being driven by a 52-year-old man, was travelling south when it crossed to the incorrect side of the road and collided with three other vehicles. The driver of the Commodore suffered fatal injures and died at the scene. The 38-year-old driver of a Nissan GTR suffered multiple fractures and he remains in hospital, while the 50-year-old driver of a Barina suffered a broken sternum and also remains in hospital. The third driver of a Ford was not injured." Good to hear, however still unfortunate that there was a death. Condolences to all involved, their friends and family. It's a shit section of road at the best of times.

Daleo, everyone's entitled to their opinion. Any anyone's entitled to mash on that opinion. Thanks for participating. - However if all you can argue is one letter in one word of the hundreds I have typed, you have nothing. Birds, do you know how long Delta9-THC metabolites last in the body? From a week to several months. Do you know how long the effect of being stoned lasts? A few hours. So I can be picked up 'quite possibly' a month later, when I'm not at all under the influence, but the metabolites are still in my system. Like wht510, you should educate yourself on the fact. I never argued that the magistrate made a poor choice. Go dig up the part where I said anything abhout a magistrate making a bad choice. But I'll assume he got a work license to drive to and from work? Please correct me if this assumption is wrong? Trozzle, I'm trying to see when I'd stand up in court and say all of this. On the other hand I'd like to see you stand up in court in defence of someone who copped a less lenient decision from the magistrate and yap on about how safe the offence was at the time. It's compempt eitherway you go. The difference is this is a forum, not a courtroom. Deal with it. - Again I'll say that I never said the magistrate made a bad choice, he/she is in the job for the reason they have a proven track record for making good choices. They are put in place to sort out people who make POOR choices, such as the OP. That doesn't at all stop or prevent me from saying what 'can' happen as a result of careless driving on the roads.

You can't really redeem yourself after that display of immaturity a few posts earlier. I hardly dug anything up since one click in your sig shows it. Grats on the delusions of importance. You take examples as literal when they are a descriptive metaphor for what you feel is fine. You still have trouble grasping what I'm getting at, its not a question of if you even agree, because you've shown you simply don't understand. Anyways this is dragging the thread off topic with all the baseless insults which relate to nothing more than your need to get at me for having a point. Disagreeing is one thing, conjuring insults is another. I'll leave you to your devices, go to bed early, your judgement is clouded with anger, bloke. See you on the bureau of statistics lol.

Can't find it on the news, rumour is that the man who died today on the F3 was the driver of a silver R32 GTR. Anyone know about this? Drive safe, the roads are terrible with all this rain.

Wow.. uhm, you just... Lol wow.. Haha. And you're a mod on another forum too. Great skills you have. If you don't get what you want when you 'consult' with the govt as you claim, do you act this way? I don't have much else to add, you really threw a curveball on this one. Verbally abuse your wife much when you don't get your choice of paint on the walls? Hey at least you weren't travelling at great speed when them crappy Chinese CV shafts broke on you or you wouldn't be here to throw childish insults at me. Savour every day man, savour every day. Edit: that website is the colour of the noodles I ate earlier. I should make a website showing how to safely juggle chainsaws as an enabler for all the people who don't know any better. Fin.

Input shaft bearing is another few, more expensive steps lol. If you were planning on replacing/reco'n the box, it'd be fine, just noisy. If you let it go for 'x' amount of time it could chew itself out, but worst case, the box is dead and replace it anyways. (Disclaimer, probably wont happen lol) Doing the gearbox on a car makes you more of a man everytime you do one haha Rear main is as mentioned, should be able to carefully pry it out with screwdriver. Tap new one in with hammer, try and keep it flush and level as you tap it in to save it getting jammed. Gearbox seal (also as mentioned) has it's own holder which you unbolt, take the holder out, again pry the seal from it and replace with new one keeping flush and level. Use small (SMALL) amount of grease on the seals helps for a better seal too. Excess grease on the seals/splines will run outwards into the clutch disc and ruin your new install early.

Think of it this way. Would you tell your kids it's ok to speed as long as they are comfortable? Depends on the road, and whether the government has lowered the speed limit to raise revenue, or whether they have genuinely changed the limit for the safety of others. -Ok so I guess you'll be telling them it's ok to speed on only certain roads, make a list or map and highlight them or something, I'm trying to see how you'd do this. Or on roads where they feel the govt has lowered speeds to increase revenue. You've introduced the same grey area that get's people into the crap in the first place. Let's assume you're 30, have kids, and in about 8 years they'll be driving. Your son (who loves watching drag/drift/race vids on youtube) buys an R33 GTR. Would you tell him it's ok to break the law in it as long as it's a GTR? Are you serious? That is the most stupid thing I have heard. One would argue that most cars today are better than most cars back in the 1960's, so why are the speed limits the same? I'm not condoning doing 40km/h (unless it's on a hwy which usually has a posted speed limit of 100km/h and there is road works which brings the speed limit down to 40km/h and THERE ISN'T ANY ROAD WORKS IN SIGHT.... -Because drivers habits haven't changed. New technology + old habits = the same result. With what you've just said, if you kill someone with a nice expensive car, that's ok, because the car was better than what people drove when the speed limit was imposed on that road. I'm sure the courts will accept this. Also if you get picked up going 100km/h in a 40 zone because there are no workers there, cops will allow this too. Godspeed to you. (Note sarcasm) If so, what would be going through your head if you had to visit him in hospital for 6 months while his food is intravenously administered and he can't talk, and all he can do it look at you? What the hell do you think would be going through my head? Regardless if he was speeding or not. It doesn't matter. He could kill himself on a race track too. Am I going to tell him/her/them etc. not to drive fast on a racetrack? Hell they can kill themselves going to McDonalds ordering a quarter pounder and some spineless coward comes up while they are trying to read the menu and hits them over the head with a bottle. What do YOU think I would be thinking if I saw my own flesh and blood lying in a hospital? Bloody stupid question if you ask me. Get some perspective man. -I just gave you perspective. It seems to anger you. It seems to hit that spot, but still you avoid the point. Yes a bottle at maccas could kill, yes you can get hurt on a racetrack. But speeding on the road is yet another dangerous element added to their lives and more unnecessary risk. I know what you would be thinking, no need to ask the question. I wouldn't have put the notion out there if I didn't know the impact. Think hard about it, because this desensitising of the law and road rules is where it all begins. And concentrating on speeding by the media/government/ Macquarie bank etc. is where it's at. Hang on did I just say Macquarie Bank? Yes.. Yes I did. They bought Redflex. The company that makes speed and red light cameras. "There's money in them there hills." is what the shareholders saw in the prospectus. IT'S ABOUT MONEY.... Not about lives, not about you and me living. It's about taxes. It's about fines, and it's about getting as much money out of us as possible while we have it. For what you ask? Shareholder return. -Wow. You still don't get it. Yeah, you're right. Speeding isn't a factor in many of the fatal accidents. It's all a fad in our bubble and rainbow world. Wake up man. Money is a factor as well, I concede this, but denying that speed doesn't relate to deaths on the road makes you a fool. Everyone who crashes and kills someone didn't go out that day knowing what was coming. Nobody wants to smash their car, or worse, kill someone. They are always accidents. Sometimes it won't even be driver related, it might be mechanical failure. Ironic would be the badass pro drivers in here being wrapped around a pole tomorrow. No. No they didn't. But a pedestrian/bike/fellow driver can be killed even when the driver is doing the speed limit, within the rules, follow every letter of the law. Even concentrating. Even paying attention to the road. Do we fine jay walkers as much as speeding drivers? Do we fine cyclists who disobey the road rules or the speed limit? (HELL I CAN BREAK THE 40km/h ZONE ON MY BLOODY PUSH BIKE AND KILL ME AND A PEDESTRIAN ALL AT THE SAME TIME!) No, because there isn't that much money in it. -You're right, they can be. But if the driver was speeding when he hit the cyclist, he is royally f**ked. If it was an accident and the driver wasn't breaking the law, it will be seen by the courts as exactly that, an accident. J walkers aren't putting others at risk, so that point is moot. Cyclists also don't put others at risk, another moot point. And if you want to get technical and say how a cyclist in the wrong spot on the road can make a driver swerve to avoid, etc etc etc, then your mind 'should' be open to the relative connection between speed and 'others' taking the brunt of it. Actually, on the next line you've admitted the connection between the two, I needn't go further. Another example would be if the OP flew past a bus stop across where your theoretical daughter was sitting waiting for a bus. The point is, he wasn't. So why do you even raise this? Perhaps a police car would be chasing as well. They may as well be doing 45km/h over the speed limit to catch up. So I guess that makes them criminals too? -Refer to previous post. "...on the pretence that 'nothing happened and nobody got hurt' this time." And if the police have their lights and sirens on, it does not make them criminals. In your hypothesis, if the driver wasn't driving in a way that would START a pursuit, there would be no chasing police car. Lol. You need to think of how a situation starts, not how it ends. Wait, let me switch sides for a sec. "Man, I think that'd be awesome! I'd be on the kerb throwing my fists up with passion for the GTR!" - Seriously? Driving 42km/h over in a built up area is pretty stupid. We all know that regardless of whether it's a GTR, a lada, or a police car or ... Damn.... I crossed the line again. Now I'm not going to justify why the police can drive 42km/h over the speed limit in a modified commodore, and 'The OP' can't. How about the Autobahn? Perhaps that's a better example of one set of cars doing a theoretical 118km/h safely and another set doing 160km/h. ON THE SAME STRETCH OF ROAD. Yes it's legal. Yes it's safer, but it's still 'speeding'. -The area in the pic isn't built up, and there is a bus stop there. Someone's mum/dad/son/daughter uses that bus stop. Police go through rigerous training before they can drive highway patrols for this exact fact. And no training can cover it ALL, that's obvious. This is why cranes still fall over, and nuclear power stations still blow up. On the other hand the OP has NOT gone through the relevant courses, and even if he did, this doesn't make him above the law. This is not the Autobarn, there are no bus stops on the Autobarn. Also, you should read about how much a German drivers license costs and the training required, and specific rules for the Autobarn. All these things the Australian side does not cover. Educate yourself. Yeah righteo, now he loses control and smashes into the bus stop, pinning your daughter under the car. Blood, screaming, smoke. Worth it? I think not. Right. So we've established my son is in hospital previously. Why do you think I would let my daughter out of the house with all those GTR drivers out there crashing into shit? I'd be getting a SS commodore with police pack, as it seems to be the safest car allowed on the road allowed to speed. May be even a fire truck or an ambulance so the missus can transport the kids to Coles. Perhaps even a government car, as those guys always seem to get off scott free when it comes to fines and demerit points. -You seem jealous that police can speed under conditions but you can't. Become a police officer then. Learn the difference between what they do, and what you think they do. You're bringing up hogwash to try and support your withering case against the majority. I can't believe you'd try and use speeding police as leverage in your case but not think twice about someone with less official training. Excuse the examples, but often it comes down to hitting the right nerve with some people before they even realise. Hit a nerve?? Never. I've been so exposed to the blood and guts on the TV from all of these ads eschewing the virtues of speed that I'm desensitised already. Now I just get angry they are wasting my money on ads which could be used to TEACH idiots on the road to use their indicators, TEACH idiots how to merge, use their bloody brains when driving, and perhaps follow the bloody road rules for once. All in a positive light of course. -This is true. This is the difference between us and German licensing requirements as I've just mentioned, google it. Anyone who's gone to a defensive driving course would know. How many of you back-chat one of the victims when they walk in with missing limbs? You don't feel heroic then, so why now? I've been on a few defensive driving courses. They are excellent. Why would anyone feel heroic back chatting a victim of any description in general? What kind of human are you? If it was self inflicted. Went through stop sign, was drunk etc., then perhaps a little less shock/horror etc., but still shock etc. Honestly mate, we're dudes sitting here on a computer at work/at home in front of the fire just like you. Don't feel we're any different. -What kind of human am I? One bringing perspective into this. Oh wait, did you think I back chat victims? I didn't say that. Blurred vision or anger talking? Many people haven't gone to these courses. Usually the ones who get away with shit like this. They're also usually the people finding themselves hugging yet another pole a few months later once their ego rebuilds to the point where they think they are invincible again. Assumptions aside, the facts are here. Moving back a tad, watering down the crime is immature, selfish, and egotistical. Watering down the crime? Selfish? Egotistical? How is it selfish to question the government? How selfish is it that 'the op' used the system CORRECTLY, and admitted guilt. He never once said he wasn't guilty. That's not selfish. It's not egotistical either. In fact it's bordering on humble. -You're not questioning the government, you're pissing and moaning about it on a little forum. Or do you want the government to read this thread lol? I also never complained about the OP getting his license back, that's between him and the law, I am directing my posts at people who and trying to make it look like it's not that bad of a crime when if someone was killed that day it would all be different. Again think of the start, not the end of the situation. Shit I know I can juggle a chain saw with someone standing under me. Lend me your wife, just trust me, bro. Firstly, you wouldn't be going anywhere near me or my wife with a chainsaw. If you even thought about it, I would be showing you things the UFC deem illegal. Again, I resort to the 'what kind of human are you' for even suggesting such a twisted/demented thing. You keep juggling those chain saws by yourself champ and when you chop off one of your hands that would be a victim I would back ch.....<ahem> No I'd still feel sorry for you, again with shock and horror etc. -Why not? "I know what I'm doing. I've done it plenty of times before. Nothing bad ever happens. I'm the best there is." Do you get my point YET? lol. Wait, the next line you typed almost grasped the point, but not quite. You've illustrated that I can put myself at risk, but nobody else. So maybe you are getting my whole point. Or maybe not.. Edit: While I agree some (most) of the roads could do with a review of their speed limits. Talking about it in a thread where someone is trying to get out of a speeding fine isn't appropriate. How about you have a chat with the minister of transport, or get on one of them shit Interview shows like ACA and have your say in front of the public. Sulking about speed limits in here does nothing but anger/empower everyone who already registered themselves on a forum which is related to fast cars. Stupid. I consider the start of this paragraph with the first sentence agreeable. The rest I think needs a bit of work. -Nuff said. Talking about options (not getting out of a speeding fine) on a forum is perfectly acceptable, because this is a DEMOCRACY. Freedom of speech and all. I'm glad this is something that the government still allows us to use. I don't sulk about speed limits. I write letters to Vicroads, I consult with traffic engineers, I'm a member of CAMS and speak to members of the board who consult with the government about road safety. I petition. I ring the local MP I knew in school and speak to them (when I get the chance). I defend my family. Anyone who brings members of family into any of these forums and puts them into scenarios doesn't earn my respect and I use my democratic right to retort. -Yes there is freedom of speech, we've seen plenty on that on the past 16 pages. See it only matters to you when a member of your family is involved, you won't click if it's anyone else. You'd be the type who'd speed past MY family, but slow down for YOURS, and expect everyone else to as well. This is where my point resides for people who think your way. Your post has made this rather transparent. Because this is only typing, while the real idiots are out there everyday doing exactly what you say you won't allow anyone to do, oh wait, as long as it's YOUR family. Point in case. - And btw, I'm not here to earn anyone's respect, if you have seen me posting around that should be rather apparent by now. Edit: The post looks like crap because you replied in the middle of a quote, but who cares, right? Further edit: So you're a member of CAMS, you consult with the govt, petition, ring MP's etc etc, yet you didn't seem aware of many of the offences you can easily be charged by in your own state. I don't know if you're ignorant, or just plain talking crap.

lol ^^^ what a ham.

Mine did this on front left side. The plug leading to the light was covered in this goop. The cables were also in bad nick where they entered the ass of the plug. I cut the plug off, stripped some fresh ends on the cable, and put insulated lugs on it. Lugs that fit the flags on the light. Then a few months later the other side did it, I did the same thing, haven't had a problem since. Or as Jezzo said, it could be the loom as well. Have you tried giving the light a decent tap or two while the blinkers are on to see if it fixes it? Is it only one light? Do your blinkers 'blink' faster when this is happening? All this stuff happened to me, but lugs fixed it for good.

JASMA exhausts generally don't drone, they are usually well made, give performance increases, and above all, are supposed to conform to Japanese noise laws, which AFAIK aren't far from ours. Quote: "Japanese Automotive Sports Muffler Association (JASMA). JASMA certified exhaust systems meet strict standards for passing car inspections."

I was in agreeing with you too. Forget the 'you' part. I mean that for anyone reason the thread in general. I didn't understand your last question though, since you could be going 10 over or 100 over and all of the offences would still apply if a police officer 'wanted' to throw them on you, in this specific case.

Yeah that or the crank sensor works. I found my SARD Meter was running off the crank sensor, moved it to the tacho signal, and it still works fine. Tacho signal is negative trigger too.

Interesting, I didn't know you could poison a cat from simply running a rich mixture. Keep in mind any decent cat manufacturer will know their cats will be used in a rich environment. I thought cats were killed from phosphorous, lead, manganese, silicone, etc. You'll only introduce these things into the exhaust stream if your engine isn't healthy or are using certain additives or leaded fuel. I don't know about E85 though.
