  1. my understanding it improves fuel economy
    Pffft... it'll increase induction noise, that's about it, the rest is cosmetic.

    If fuel economy is your concern, make sure your O2 sensor is tip-top, increase your tyre pressure, remove any superfluous weight, keep out of traffic light GP's, and drive economically.

  2. We need to have a firm idea of just what we're offering sponsors, and getting a commensurate amount of $$$ or member benefits in return...

    Are the initial costs so high they couldn't be recouped via the first round of membership fees? I know this is highly dependent on number and fees.

    ...if they can cover it then holding off on sponsors until there's a membership base might be a good idea.

    An exception to this might be finding just the one (or two) understanding benefactors willing to kick something in at the start but not after something concrete in return.

  3. thanks hun im about to put it on a hoist just to make sure that nothing else is damaged and ill get my mate to look at that, i was going around a bend to the left and it just went out from under me so i went to power out of it but that was the bad move i think cause that is what threw me towards the gutter what do you think i should have done?
    Look, I wasn't there, but it sounds to me like you simply went round the corner too quick and lost it.

    HICAS only moves +/-0.5 degrees, and as said just leaves you a bit of a "vague" feeling on the edge.

    It's not VTEC yo! and doesn't go about randomly and violently kicking in under normal operation.

  4. ^^^Swish

    just need it to tow a motorbike to and fro racetracks.

    I am considering a BA ute i really like them.

    So they tow good?

    Mate used to tow his and his brother's dirt bikes behind his R32 with a homemade tow kit so if the humble RB20DET can do it the 25 will shit it in.
  5. Of course you can put a tow bar on an R34 Karl - you can put one on any car. Just takes a small amount of fabrication. But I know what people say about towing with turbo cars, full stop, as you put such a load on the turbo, which obviously is not good for it.

    Nah. So long as you're sensible it won't be on boost all the time and be A-OK.

    i.e. Don't tow too heavy and don't try and maintain freeway speeds with something like a furniture trailer (large area so lots of wind resistance).

  6. The govt should have their cars impounded for letting lawyers interfere in science and engineering problems, they're so afraid of the fact these systems aren't perfect (nothing ever is but nor does it need to be) they try to hide the mechanics of this shit behind layers of bureaucracy, instead of clearly explaining how this all works, where it can fall down, but also the checks and balances in place to pick up when and where it does... but most importantly doing it in plain english.

    Kalel's given you all lesson on the science, and I've worked closer to all this than I care to admit on a motoring forum, the above is tied up in politics and a general disrespect for intelligence of their voters.

    But at the end of the day you all know when you've been speeding, personally I've been done three times, and I was in the wrong each time. If you have a GENUINE doubt then pursue it like anything else, but if you KNOW you were speeding take your lumps and stop whining (this isn't directed at any one in particular I must stress), don't fight it coz it makes ratings for Today Tonight.

  7. This shit is getting WAY outta hand! Glad no one was hurt however,

    Hey dude I feel for ya. I was in a home invasion 18 months ago and it makes u wonder what the hell is going on with the world.

    My advice? Buy a couple big dogs. Don't feed em so often. Maybe even dress up as a burglar and jump ur own fence so u can see if they eat ya..

    Sorry you went thru that, but what exactly does a burglar dress up as, this?

  8. Hahaha, I was a Birdwood bogan today, and didn't all the ferals just love it when we went thumping past in the GTR (Torry) with XU1 bits and a Bathurst cam on board? Talk about lumpy, but never fear, I stayed true the 'line and got some picks of our heritage.
