i've got the heads up on this guy, did some dangerous driving around some friends. he won't be driving very sooner let alone walking if they find him, but if i see him i'll call the cops first then while i wait for them do some vigilantie shit cause cops never turn up. saw a drunk as a skunk lady with kids in her falcon at the air port driving mate in my passenger seat called the cops while i followed, we stayed behind her all the way to bribie no cops to be seen stayed on the phone the whole time she side swiped two cars on the way

Calling the cops is hardly being a vigilante, and I don't see a problem "informing" on someone who is an obvious danger to himself, his passengers and everyone else on/near the road. We're not talking about someone who was doing a few kays over the limit or who did a bit of a skid coming out of a servo or something. Besides, this kind of behaviour doesn't exactly help our image in the eyes of the police - you have people like this fool to thank for the hassles we already have.

Anyway the original incident was a couple of months ago and things may have changed. He may have a license now for example, or may have even sold the car to someone else. Personally, if I spot the car I'll leave him alone, but will keep it in the back of my mind that he "may" be a dickhead. Interesting to hear someone else has had a run-in with him though.

nothing hun, dw about it...

Far be it for us to start doing the police's job for them, thats called being a vigalantie and is getting into the same territory as that whack-woman with her dob-in-a-dope etc websites.

What go's around comes around, if we start informing on people then we will be informed apon ourselfs. The police have everything they need to deal with this bloke, its up to them as to what path they wish to take. Hes never done anything to me or most people here so we should leave it be until he does.

Dude pricks like this are a different animal. You wanna pull a massive burnout in front of my pad I'll crack a beer and sit on the deck and watch. When it comes to endangering lives tho I will be all over you like a cheap suit. Theres a major difference.

revhead has made a pretty valid point in saying the car may have been sold - also why is this being posted now and not months ago when it happened?

When stuff like this happens gang mentalities should be avoided as it can lead to trouble. It should be between the cops and the parties directly involved.

      Thanks Santa (the neverending trials of the 400,000klm, 400kw, RB30, manual swapped Stagea)

      Thanks Duncan! Yeah it's street use for me only. Maybe occasional track day. Any difference in noise when running with the two pumps? I would expect the lift pump to be more quiet than the main pump so hopefully not? And yes, unfortunately quite a big price difference to the simple hanger setup. Though I'm usually willing to trade money for better reliability and future-proofing. Buy once, cry once and all that. I'd be very happy to never have to deal with fuel pump / wiring issues again

      The old manifold was quite under the GTR strut brace.  The new manifold is quite [unknown] the GTR strut brace. The GTR strut brace was needed to clear the bonnet vents. The Old strut brace will almost certainly clear the new manifold, but not the bonnet vents. The old strut brace will almost certainly clear the new manifold, and the new bonnet without vents. But I am hoping the GTR strut brace clears the new manifold :p

      Bonnet clearance?

      On the bright side, at least you knew that it happened and remedied before anything happened. A friend of mine just took his Fiat 124 to a shop for an oil change and they didn't tighten the oil filter housing properly. 4.5 quarts spewed out and even after refilling + tightening the cap the engine has a tick now.

      So, more pain. The FAST manifold is a little larger than the stocker. This is problematic because there really wasn't much clearance to begin with, so going from 'barely enough' well into 'no' is sad based on the external dimensions of the thing, even though where it bolts to the head is the same. Result is the fuel rails sit a good 25mm higher, and this is a bit of an issue with the wiring that runs behind the motor, and the fuel lines, and everything else. When pushing the manifold on, it required a huge amount of force to crush wiring looms to fit it, sensors like the MAP sensor are about 1mm from the firewall, and the FPR just has to bend ABS lines to be forced into place. After some brainstorming and some sad drinking, the loom for some reason ran from the grommet behind the ABS sensor, then to the driver side head, then back to the passenger side head. So all of this was pulled back and stripped, a few wires cut and rejoined, so that the 'branch' was now on the passenger side's head as below: Before you basically couldn't see anything behind the driver head. This is much improved! The MAP sensor is now pointing up (instead of at the firewall) Brackets have been made up for the rail. The rails are for a LS1, the manifold is designed around a LS2 as it's base. Which of course has slightly different bracketry and water pump clearance, hence the mods people need to do. Should be hopefully mounted tonight. I spent money on a new FPR that is slightly more compact than my Turbosmart FPR1200. The gauge has also been moved to the rail. There's also apparently an ORB to AN Union instead of the adapter, because the ~25mm of the current adapter is going to make the difference. Provided this all goes together and arrives today, it'll be the totally not stressful attempt to start it.
