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.

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,

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.

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.

      Are you an oil nerd?

      By Kinkstaah · Posted

      I think the concept is highlighting the various scenarios where thicker oil helps, and thicker oil potentially doesn't help and only generates heat and costs power, in turn for safety which isn't actually any safer (unless you're going real hot). If anything this does highlight why throwing Castrol 10w-60 for your track days is always a solid, safe bet.

      Jason should have shown a real viscosity vs temp chart. All the grades have very little viscosity difference at full operating temperature.

      Steps to DIY sanding car back ready for respray....

      By Murray_Calavera · Posted

      Yep, if you are applying filler it sounds like there is something wrong with the body lol. Safe to assume there is going to be a lot of sanding going on if your still applying fillers.  Picture a perfect bare metal panel, smooth as glass. You lay down your primer, it's perfect. (why are you going to sand it?) You lay down the colour and clear, it's perfect. No sanding at all took place and you've got a perfectly finished panel.  You won't be chasing your tail, sounds like you were prepping to start laying filler. If your happy with the body after the sanding, there is some bare metal exposed and some areas with primer, no issues at all, start laying the filler. You are safe to lay filler on bare metal or primer (of course check your technical data sheet as usual for what your filler is happy to adhere to).  This isn't a 100% correct statement. There is primer that is happy to adhere to smooth bare metal. There are fillers that are happy to adhere to smooth bare metal. Just make sure you're using the right materials for the job.  Typically if you are using filler, you would go primer, colour and clear. I've never seen any instances before where someone has laid colour over body filler (maybe this happens, but I haven't seen it before). So your plan sounds pretty normal to me.

      Mistakes were made, my R34 Story

      By Kinkstaah · Posted

      I don't think there's any way someone is push starting this car.. I honestly can barely move it, and moving it and steering it is just flat out not possible. I'm sure it is, but needs a bigger man than me. I have a refurbished starter now. The starter man was quite clear and consise showing me how nothing inside a starter really should contribute to slow cranking, and turned out that for the most part... my starter was entirely fine. Still, some of the wear items were replaced and luckily it didn't show any signs of getting too hot, being unfit for use, etc. Which is 'good'. I also noticed the starter definitely sounded different, which is a bit odd considering nothing should have really changed there.... Removed and refit, and we'll pretend one of the manifold bolts didn't fully tighten up and is only "pretty" tight. GM only wants 18ft/lb anyway. I also found a way to properly get my analog wideband reading very slightly leaner than the serial wideband. There's Greg related reasons for this. The serial output is the absolute source of truth, but it is a total asshole to actually stay connected and needs a laptop. The analog input does not, and works with standalone datalogging. Previously the analog input read slightly richer, but if I am aiming at 12.7 I do not want one of the widebands to be saying 12.7 when the source of truth is 13.0. Now the source of truth will be 12.65 and the Analog Wideband will read 12.7. So when I tune to 12.7 it'll be ever so slightly safer. While messing with all of this and idling extensively I can confirm my car seems to restart better while hot now. I did add an old Skyline battery cable between the head and the body though, though now I really realise I should have chosen the frame. Maybe that's a future job. The internet would have you believe that this is caused by bad grounds. In finding out where my grounds actually were I found out the engine bay battery post actually goes to the engine, as well as a seperate one (from the post) to the body of the car. So now there's a third one making the Grounding Triangle which is now a thing. I also from extensive idling have this graph. Temperature (°C) Voltage (V) 85 1.59 80 1.74 75 1.94 70 2.1 65 2.33 60 2.56 55 2.78 50 2.98 45 3.23 40 3.51 35 3.75 30 4.00   Plotted it looks like this. Which is actually... pretty linear? I have not actually put the formula into HPTuners. I will have to re-engage brain and/or re-engage the people who wanted more data to magically do it for me. Tune should be good for the 30th!
