I know in the 300ZX, other problems make the rws very very unstable - the fix is replacing the rear steering rack with a purpose made replacement bar, and changing the 4ws solenoid and reservour for the 2ws equivalents.

That gives me a brilliant idea for a prank! Feed one of your mates until he's dying to crap, get someone to pretend to be dead in their house (use fake blood and stuff), then while the person is taking a sh*te, get the "dead guy" to open the door and scream at him! haha would be scary as hell ...

Sad thing is you are already a suspect of foul play if some random is dead in your house. Who are they? Why are they there? Will they wake up while you are having a crap and move???

You will probably find the roading budget is all proportional - the smaller centres have less population, but the roads are also used less and road works are less frequent.
