Oosh

Dunno bout cops in 'lines, Rex's maybe (Vic used to have them but too many issues), as the age of the vehicle is the limiting factor. Departments usually have to be seen offering their drivers the best protection reasonably possible hence the constant churn in to new gov't vehicles across the board.

I work round the corner from Uni SA Mawson Lakes, give us a wave if you see a Blue R-dirty-2 sedan in the area. Oh and all you still there, enjoy it while it lasts, you'll miss it trust me (well some bits of it anyway).

Step by step, oh baby, gonna get to you gur-ur-ur-url! Sorry, couldn't resist, child of the 80's...

Andrew you know better than to expect that, you only have to look at Sanddown in Melb, live music venues in city's, airports shifting out, etc, etc.People move in, whinge, and noise-makers are forced out. Look this is all very exciting but until I see bulldozers I'm not getting my hopes up.

I used to fish a hell of a lot (mostly on the Bay in Melb but numerous trips too) from pier and on the boat (family sold it years ago now), been up to Yorke's twice since moving here but nothing to write home about, mostly crabs and unless someone else is peeling them I ain't interested. Used to do pretty much the lot, lure, troll, live, but mostly bait. Never fly tho. Best efforts would have to be John Dory off the wharf and a brace of Tailor in the estuary round Merimbula (NSW), lotsa Flathead at Mallacoota (VIC), my first Murray Cod was fun (nothing huge in size), but these days I think I'm just too impatient.

Other week I spotted a blue Autozam AZ-1 on Payneham Rd, coolest little car ever and a want one! And bit before that I spotted a black stretched Hummer (biggest loser style) on Hutt St.

Just saw the ad for this years show on Tv, and I'm 99% sure I saw the GT-R flash up on screen, but I can't find any mention of it on the website. http://www.adelaidemotorshow.com.au/index.php So does anyone know if it'll be there or not?

Stick to the GTSt, do some basic cost-effective mods, exhaust, cooler, boost control, chipped ecu, suspension (in approx that order) and learn how to drive well with 160RWKW to start. You'll be quicker than 95% of what's out there and not broke. After that, better turbo with a FPR and you're set for 200RWKW. Much more and you start to affect the drivability of a RB20.

Got a house-warming in the area that night, so *might* have dinner at this before hand.

Did you find out if I can run the bike Cubes? Not that it'll be impressive but I'm curious.

That question usually starts a shit fight about that was a race-car, i.e. Nissan and their dodgy R33 GTR; or it wasn't a full-lap (ie. only from the toll entry/exit points) etc etc. Some are independent tests, magazines getting over excited, and so on. Have a looksie at the wiki article: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nordschleife_fastest_lap_times and make up your own mind. I just want to see it on TopGear with Stig behind the wheel.

I'm always pretty sus on plenums, pretty complex bit of engineering to go messing with, and some dire consequences too...

Another bonus is you can drop off / pick up and pay / etc outside normal hours at the servo itself. No rushing to get there on time or hanging about until they open up.

If it's just basic stuff, and we're going just outside the CBD, I can recommend: Steve Richards (08) 8344 9595 He's attached to the BP on Main North Rd (city end), he's did my water pump and timing belt plus basic service all for very reasonably rates.

I'm also having a sex-change

I've done that drive so many times (only once in the 'line), it's just not that thrilling for me, but glad you all had a good trip. Julie couldn't believe how full-on Crown is either (esp. compared to the Casino here), did you stop for a gawk at the fireballs along the Yarra? Now days I just fly, it's so cheap, unless I plan to spend a couple days somewhere like Halls Gap (recommended if you like a good walk) along the way.

I might just do a single day-er to check out Muzza's Machines and a concert, can't be bothered with the full thing this year.

I'll be there with peoples from work, but I'll be sure to hunt you ugly lot down for a bevvy or 10.

A pushie would be hilarious, but it's a 650 v-twin, currently got a restrictor on it but I'd be interested to see what it's pumping out.

Just a thought, reckon there's any chance of getting a bike on there?

Girlfriend saw a White R33 (she thinks and possibly a sedan) on it's side/roof near Regency Rd intersection with Main North this arvo. Was messed up apparently, all the services on hand, and looked liked they'd hand to climb out the smashed rear-window. Anyone know anything?

More than just the GT-R in that lot, from what I just saw n 7 news there's a dark R33 GTS25t and a gunmetal R32 (couldn't tell type). Hopefully some owners will get their pride and joy's returned.

Mate, what do you do when you put a jigsaw puzzle together, smash 'em in Homer Simpson style?

Magazine tests aren't worth shit, vested interest just being the half of it, the one I linked was an International Standards Organisation test done by and approved and accredited agency. But at the end of the day people will do what they do, and believe what they want, placebo therapy is plenty evidence for that.

K&N finished dead last in filtration efficiency in this series of ISO5011 tests. http://home.stny.rr.com/jbplock/ISO5011/SPICER.htm
