They did here a few years back. It helped for a bit, then slowly people got brace again and now I'm not sure how much different it is from before except that you risk a $500 fine or something like that for distracted driving.

It's illegal to text while driving here and it hasn't worked. The cops are still texting...
We've got some of the most self-centered oblivious drivers in the nation. They Might as well not even waste the money for stop signs or turn signals.
Rant to be continued.

Around here cops would be exempt from laws like that. They say they have "special training" or some such bullsh*t. Not sure who they think they are fooling, or if they care that they are fooling anyone at all.

Heck, they even changed the decals on their cars some years back from "to serve and protect" to "courage, vigilance, pride"

Maybe I'm getting old but 16 strikes me as being far too young to be entrusted with the responsibility of operating a motor vehicle. We live in a time where many people don't start working until their 20s and many more live with their parents until almost 30. Consequently the development of any sense of personal responsibility seems to have been deferred until later in life. The minimum driving age should be raised to 18 across the board on my opinion. I personally wouldn't entrust a 16 year old with a golf cart, let alone a car.

Put a new, higher capacity, rechargeable battery in my dashcam, because the original one has died. It only required soldering 2 wires. The capacity of the old battery was 325m/ah and the new one is 850m/ah. It's a thicker battery, so I needed to remove the padded tape that held the old one in place. The new one doesn't need to be held in place beacause it's thicker - just hope it doesn't overheat.

Hopefully now I can use the cam when I'm parked up, without the battery dying after 5 seconds.

It's illegal to operate a handheld device while driving. I have used it as a gps but it's sitting in the cup holder.

I got hit taking a call when it first came out

kenchan · 03-11-2017, 03:22 PM

Motored my Z.

took her out for da first spin of da season.

ChaseZ · 03-11-2017, 05:29 PM

Looks good.

When I did my hood vents I went with round hole cutouts instead of the chicken mesh look (just my term no offence) but I think in your bumper like you have it that's the way to go! Nicely done

Thank for the tip.
I'm thinking about the honeycomb mesh or round holes, but don't want to invest to much money or time, going back to the 13/14 nismo front.
This one will be for sale soon.
the 15+ Nismo front don't cut it for me.

Then there's no point putting extra money in it.

I went to Metal Supermarket and got an offcut 1x3 sheet of stainless round holes for $7. Have enough left I've been contemplating making little cutouts for it in my rear diffuser between the tailpipes and fog light. Will see.

Just posted it up for $23k in the for sale section. Let's see how this goes.
