ORAN PARK!!! OMG, I could have sworn I read EC!!! Christ, lucky I checked this thread again!!!

The aftermarket one from Unique Autosports isn't EXACTLY the same as a Series 3. It's missing the split in the air guides, and it's just one big hole. See this pic: http://www.skylinesaustralia.com/photopost...SCN4687-med.JPG

I have a used GENUINE Series 2 GTR front lip for sale if you're interested. It has a bit of damage to the bottom of the lip on the driver's side, nothing that can't be repaired very easily by a plastic welder. I'll take $300 + shipping for it. Much better than a fibreglass copy. Front lips cop a beating in GTRs, getting a fibreglass one is just wasting money.

Doesn't the skidpan have water sprinklers spread around the concrete? What time should we get there? Who's going to wash my car for me afterwards?

His sig is a link to a commercial website. Surely that shouldn't be allowed unless he's a forum sponsor? Why pay for a banner if you can just put it in your sig and postwhore?

Book me in for a spot Pete, I'll do the wet parts... 19" Pirellis are too expensive to waste on dry fun What time does it start/finish?

Do you have a copy of the auction sheet?

:spcow:

Thanks Shelly!

I renewed, but was never sent a new membership card

GTshortie and 51jay are 100% correct. I have a BMW, and I have a GTR. BMW is 5x120 PCD Nissan is 5x114.3 PCD They won't even slide onto the hubs because the hub bolts are in different spots. Just because they have 5 holes in them, doesn't mean they're the same. And you're completely forgetting about offset too. BMW E46s use a +40mm offset front and rear and won't be right for your R33 GTS-t.

On a friend's recommendation, I took my silver R33 to Adams Smash Repair in Erina... I have to say that they did an absolutely TREMENDOUS job on preparing, pre-fitting, painting and installation of my bodykit. If they were closer to me, I'd use them for all my bodywork, as the price was extremely reasonable too. Adams Smash Repairs 4 Karalta Road ERINA 2250 Ph: (02) 4367 7000

Further, I doubt SAU wants this level of liability on it's hands. If you want to use an escrow service, there are plenty out there. SAU isn't one of them

For all of you suggesting that money is put into the SAU bank account as an escrow service, have you thought about who you want to look after this process? They need to recieve a PM from the buyer saying that they've deposited $XXX for . Since transfers aren't immediate, they then need to check the SAU bank account once a day and reply to the seller and the buyer that the money has been deposited. Then the seller will send a PM to this magical person informing them that they have sent the goods... And then the onus is on the buyer to PM this person to tell them the goods have been recieved in good order. Then this person has to log back into the SAU bank account and transfer the money into the seller's account. Now stop by the For Sales forums (there are more than one of them boys and girls) and try and guess how many items are sold every day. Who do you suggest is going to spend 2-3 hours a day looking after this escrow service? :slap:

I just got a blue slip for my BMW about 10 minutes ago. I asked him about the air filter vs. boxed air filter thing and he rang up the RTA for me... He came back and said that NO/NADA/NOTHING is allowed to be changed in respect to the standard air box. No pod filter, no foam filters, no panel filters, no dirty socks... Boxed or unboxed. But I got my GTR pink slipped just fine with exposed APEXi pod filters by another mechanic so who knows. It obviously depends on which mechanic you take your car to, and which RTA genius answers your phone call

So true... I flat spotted one D01J at Oran Park when I made the mistake of not braking in a DEAD straight line. I was coming down the straight into turn 1 and had the wheel sliiiiiiightly turned to the left to get a better corner entry line, and ended up unloading the fleft wheel and it locked up. But because the right front wheel was still gripping and braking, I didn't realise until it was too late In about 30 metres, I managed to wear right through into the metal bands :rofl:

You're not the only one :spcow:

:spcow:

Everyone has choices. But some aren't as clear as others. What if those kids had nothing to do all day? What if their entire community was filled with plumbers? What if everywhere they turned they saw plumbers and they didn't goto school to learn any other trade? Do you REALLY think that they have many choices other than being a plumber? Whatever. I'm not going to defend these teenage criminals anymore. I have no idea what they're going through, as my life has probably been the EXACT opposite of what these guys faced. All I know is that through living the opposite life, that things aren't always as they seem, and that you are more than likely the product of your surroundings, whether they be good or bad. If success breeds success, then the opposite must be true. I'm not sympathising with them, I'm not condoning what they're doing. From my point of view, I can just see WHY.

That's all true, and I agree... But my point was NOT to lay on a sob story, it was to point out that it's not entirely their fault for turning out the way they have. The police and government have influenced their choices as much as they have themselves. When you have to deal with harrassment everyday, whether it be from the police, a co-worker, or your spouse, you very quickly turn hostile against them. You lash out at the co-worker with a sexual harrasment case. You lash out at your spouse by filing for divorce... Or in this case, they lash out by wrecking havoc on the streets and retailiating physically towards the police. What else can they do? Setup a meeting with the police commissioner and arbitrate a common resolution? Lets be realistic here. I do think that a major contributing factor for this entire outburst stemmed from the government's decision to build housing commission estates where all these criminally-weighted families are lumped together. Mob mentality raises it's head, and when the only people you associate with are burning cars, and roaming the streets with no goal in life, you'll quickly fall in line. I realise that there are probably families living there that have resisted this type of life even though they are facing just as bleak a future as the rest of them. That's a factor of the strength of parental guidance, which the vast majority of these families lack. But you have to agree what when 90% of the people surrounding your life have turned to a life of aimless destruction and crime, chances are that you'll follow suit.

You know, I was of the exact same mindset as the rest of you on this issue until Monday night. It's easy coming from a decent education, living in a safe neighbourhood and easy-going community to look at disgust at the actions of these teenagers. They randomly steal and torch cars, break house windows, steal, break and enter into houses, roam the streets at night for the sole purpose of seeing what trouble they can cause. But on Monday I happened to watch an A Current Affair report on this situation. Ignoring the reporting (which I thought was quite balanced actually) and without questioning their journalistic integrity, several facts could be gleaned from watching the report. The police are not innocent. Partly from a snowballing effect (kids are bad, police get tougher, kids gets worse, police get tougher, kids get even more worse, police get tougher again and so on) and partly because police out in those suburbs are jaded from the years of dealing with criminals like these. There was an honest interview with several of the residents of Macquarie Fields, and they all testified to police harrassment. It included general harrassment tactics used by bored police such as shadowing people on the street in their police cars waiting for them to do something wrong and then persecuting them, and things like that. Also, driving around at 4am in the morning and blasting out "Bad boys, bad boys, what you gonna do" song out of their police cruisers at full volume waking everyone up. I can easily see how this kind of behaviour would just be adding fuel to the volatile temperament of these teenagers causing an escalation of crime in retaliation. The Police are NOT innocent in this. The second point I learned lately was that this was inevitable. It was just a matter of time. The government builds housing commission estates and throws all of these poor, bored and abused families together in the one place and forgets about them. The kids don't goto school, the parents don't care. So what do they do? They're bored out of their minds with nothing to do all day. Nothing constructive anyway. The police get posted to these communities with the opinion that they're criminals and low-lifes before they even get there. So their treatment and dealings with these kids are rough and abusive before they even get a chance to prove otherwise. It's pretty sick actually. It was just a matter of time.

Is it just me or is SAU running like a dog lately?
