  1. Here here. And don't buy Sony car audio either.
  2. I was thinking the exact same thing....
  3. I can't remember if I posted this or not in another thread, but there was an article in either the tele or herald about 3 weeks ago. It was about speed studies. Apparantly in Europe they are actually increasing speed limits because it reduces fatigue. I don't know if anyone else is with me on this one but I tend to find that the slower I go the less alert I become to my surroundings. If you travel faster it makes trips shorter and you are less likely to have your brain wander off. Anyway, it also gave some stats and it was along the lines that NSW was out on it's own as far as attributing speed to deaths...it was something like 20% more than most other states. Now I can't remember actual numbers but the article echoed my sentiments on the matter. I believe that: -speed limits should increase -penalties made tougher (on the proviso of the above) -learners should not get their 'licence' until they pass a basic driver co-ordination test (similar to the motorcycle L's test) I make the last point because I believe that there are some people who are just not and never will be capable of driving a motor vehicle safely because they simply lack the co-ordination too. These people should not be allowed to drive. Harsh maybe, but it's just the card they get dealt in life. You don't see blind people driving (no offense to blind people)...and people who lack the dexterity to drive should be no different. It is such an irony, as some of you point out, that cars are getting safer and safer yet we are being forced to go slower and slower... Anyway, i've had my rant.
  4. R34 (GTR i think) on the front parked in Christie St, St Leonards on Friday about 12:30pm. Awesome Chameleon green/purple/black paint job. big chromey rims. Admired form across the road while I waited for pizza to arrive. Very tasty (both the car and the pizza that is.... )
  5. That was "The Mysterious Cities Of Gold".
  6. Sounds like all you need to do is connect the blue antenna wire to the red/green and the red/white to a constant 12v. That way when u switch power on, red/green has power as does red/white = antenna up. When power goes off, on red/white has power = antenna down.

    wtf??

    It sounds like he's gotta sell everything for a divorce or bankruptcy or something like that. I just can't believe he's asking $1 for a Robbie Williams CD (along with 3 others)....you couldn't pay me enough to have one of those in my collection...
  8. Ahh...a new home for me!!!
  9. When the hell and why the hell did u get rid of your skyline?!?!
  10. sounds good to me - should be able to make it.
  11. A bit off topic but you might be interested to know that my handbrake is hooked up to my turbo timer, so if u take the keys out and release the handbrake then the timer straight away kills the engine. Perhaps this explains the mystery wire...?
  12. Hey, blind_elk, what type of "bang" for your buck are you referring to?
  13. Hey Carlo, I got a mention without a post as well!!! I saw you the other day actually, along Willouby road about 6pm. You probably didn't notice me tho cause I was in my mum's Laser....
  14. I heard somewhere that the japanese drifters keep various items hidden in their car as good luck charms. I have absolutely no idea as to the validity of this claim, but perhaps this explains your mysterious GT badges...
  15. Apparently speed kills... Nah, 'tis a good mag - pick of the bunch.
  16. I think some car audio places sell those adapters too.
  17. I personally avoid Sony for car audio. MTx and JL Audio have good reps for reasonable prices.
  18. Yep, I reckon heatshrink is the go. U can buy it from Dick Smiths in various colours. From memory is a few bucks for about a metre or so.
  19. Only complaints I have are that it doesn't auto-scroll the track name/artist etc -u have to hold down a button for it. Oh and the steering wheel remote sometimes does not "talk" to the headunit. Other than that, 4V rca's, seperate sub control, sexy face and playing MP3's is pretty darn good. I'm glad I spent the money tho.
  20. from the sounds of it might need to change his brain too...
  21. shouldn't one of them be an illumination wire? i can't remember exactly which one tho cause i did my wiring ages ago, but i had to hook my illumination one up to something!
