When my car was actually working, I got pulled over every night before and after work, sometimes twice.

I live around Hornsby and work in the nightclub that goes till daybreak so fair enough they are always pulling me over for RBTs but I just wish they would learn my damn plates and leave me alone.. It got to the stage where they'd come up alongside and go "Oh it's you, all good then" and toddle off back to their car and leave. The only time they ever had good cause for pulling me over and yelling at me good and proper was for leaving a carpark sideways(stupid) cos I'd had a bad night.

Haha hey mate, pretty sure I saw your car parked in coronation street last week? Do you have white rims? I have a friend named Ash who also drives a black R32GTR around the area so I never know if it's his or yours.

By all means come in and say hi, I'm the one who runs around the place looking after everything :D My name's Steve

And yep you've probably seen my black R33 parked out the front, rego plate is UPB33T. It's off the road at the moment getting a major upgrade but it'll be back soon, cya round! :)

only ever been pulled over for something stupid once. the usual, a bit too happy off at the lights. he was a nice guy who also owned a skyline.

every other time has been an rbt station or mobile... although i think i got picked on one week. 4 rbt's in one week on the same 300m section of road in round corner dural. :)

havent been fined for anything though. had the car for about 2 years now

Only been pulled over once in the line, was in the afternoon, just before xmas, had a RBT set up on the side of the road, stupid me was behind a truck, and i didn't see em until it was too late, i had a DVD playing at the time. Cop asked for my licence, checked it out, gave it back to me and told me to have a nice day.

I've mostly (90%) been pulled over at night at RBT stations, only been "randomly" pulled over once, back when i had my Lancer.

      I just got to work and skimmed through 61508 and 61511. I was surprised the CSA adopted both, but neither are enforced. To recap what I read, it states that in a perfect world, they should be segregated but they acknowledge that this is not industry standard and clearly mention that they allow mixing of safety and non-safety. 61511 also mentions software segregation like AB does in their safety PLC's.   Now if only I could go back to control, let alone safety over comms. In my current line of work, we're only allowed monitoring over comms. Everything critical must still be hard wired.

      I've unfortunately never been as they're on the complete other side of the continent and another country that isn't currently letting us in as easily as they use to. I even heard their stop signs over there actually say "Stop" instead of "Arret". If I decided to trek the 48h drive, I wouldn't know when or where to stop haha. Whenever I order parts from UP Garage, I order from Japan as it's cheaper. Same with GKTech... oddly enough, it's cheaper shipped from Australia then it is the US.  UP Garage Japan operates their US leg though, unlike Tomei. If Tomei JPN had the power to close down Tomei USA, I'm sure it would be done in a day. They're two completely separate entities. Tomei JPN messed up somewhere originally agreeing to its creation and got sacked big time.

      I asked someone about this and he told me about the Audi 1.8T engine. But I think it would be difficult to swap

      I don't know that machine specifically, but I'd personally go for something with a little more kick than 130amp. Around up to 180 would be good. At the 6mm range, you're really pushing the machine hard and don't have a long period you can run for with out needing to give it a rest. Lots of MIG machines come with a regulator and hose. A lot will come with a starter roll of wire too, but it isn't too expensive to buy. I'd recommend NOT buying a massive roll too, as you don't want it sitting around FOREVER in the machine between uses and potentially going to shit. For thin sheet metal, get a roll of 0.6mm if you're doing over 3mm and above, switch over to 0.8mm wire. Even by 2mm you'd probably really want to switch. As for gas battle, it's all swap and go style now. You'll pay a bottle deposit, and then X amount to swap for a full one. I think it's like $200 or $300 for a D Size bottle upfront as "deposit", and like $110 to $150 per swap. My D size CO2/argon bottle lasts a fair bit of welding on the MIG. And I run an E size bottle on the TIG. For DIY MIG, stick with a D size bottle. If you really start to get into a LOT of welding and doing it really regularly, then upgrade. If you're like most DIY car guys, one D bottle will last you 2 or 3 years easily. I think I've been on my current bottle about 5 years. It is starting to get low, but I've been smashing it a lot more the last 6 months.

      SR20s came with cars like the Bluebird and Primera, but the RB20 never came. The ones in Turkey were either brought in specially or from abroad. That's why RBs aren't as common as SRs. And if a part breaks or I need to replace it when doing maintenance, it's harder to find parts for RBs.
