SKY031

I don't see what you're all getting so upset about.... Someone who can't figure out how to use the "quote" function and uses words like "dicksnap" is either 12 years old or mentally challenged.... either way, their opinions don't count for much.

oooooh magical! Give it to the end of the week it might be into the 8 second bracket!

It was a reference to this http://forums.skylinesdownunder.co.nz/showthread.php?t=46757 ......if you aren't S|8Y, then someone else is promoting your group.. using the exact same words as you. but i think its safe to assume its you... same sig etc, it was just too much for my brain to handle with the different user names i guess.. don't worry... I mainly posted out of boredom to give you a free bump.

If you offer someone a slab, and a return air-fare, they might be nice enough to drive it over for you. Here's a few places that transport vehicles: http://www.alliedpickfords.com.au/quote.asp http://www.tntlogistics.com.au/EN/sectors/...icle_logistics/ http://www.affordablecarcarrying.com.au/ http://www.trewintransport.com.au/ http://www.cartransport.com.au/ http://brisbane.citysearch.com.au/E/V/BRIS...06/56/38/1.html http://www.alignautos.com.au/ http://www.jjcartransporters.com.au/ http://www.carways.com.au/ http://www.coastlinevt.com.au/ http://www.vanlines.com.au/domestic/services.htm http://www.movingagain.com.au/index.htm The biggest consideration is.. do you really want to buy a car that you haven't seen/driven? I was trying to establish what sort of car you were after, but after reading some of your previous posts, it seems like you want a "cheap" car... Transporting a car interstate will take a reasonable chunk out of your budget if that's the case. Maybe decide what sort of car you're after and post up in WTB so that anyone who finds something that fits the bill locally can let you know? .....i know none of that was related to pricing, but hopefully something in there helps

geez.... you could have at least gone to the trouble to change one letter when you pasted this from the "other" forum. SKY031 runs off to hide

Most of the info you're after (plus a whole lot more) can be found by clicking here.

If you're after an indication of 1/4 mile times, go check out this list It shows what times you can expect to run with certain engines/mods, both turbo and na. You may be able to get yourself into the 14 second bracket, but the stock auto box won't be very happy about that. I think it's fairly safe to say that the VL that your turbo came off would have been fairly modded if it was running 12's....

.....so.... any more ideas to add to this wonderful list?

It's baaaaaaaaaaaaack!

It sounds like the wiper motor is working OK... It could be an electrical short in the wiper stalk, totally unrelated to the washing of the engine bay.

...that would be because race tracks are private property and you dont have to obey the same rules that you do on the road.... otherwise there would be a policeman up the end of each straight with a hair dryer

Yeah, these suggestions are great....keep them coming.

Example: http://www.skylinesaustralia.com/forums/in...showtopic=89700 How can we tell who is telling the truth? One of them is lying. Who is it?

It will burn off eventaully.

But how are we meant to determine if ABC really did put cheese in there? ABC may be the cause of the cheese, but have you got proof? You may just have a grudge against them, or want to blame someone else for the cheese that you left there yourself. You picked the car up from the workshop, but on the way home you stopped at the shops.... the cheese could have been put there by any of the other 2,000 shoppers.... or the people at the "shop'n'wash" .... I guess what I'm asking, is how can moderators determine what is true and what's not? Anyone can post anything they want. Unless people are willing to post Police reports to back up their allegations, why should they be permitted to post anything which may cause damage to another persons business/reputation? ...and again, it comes back to... why do people feel the need to name names? If the complaint is legit, and ends up going to court, aren't you only giving the company leverage to protect themselves when the court finds out that you've been spreading allegations via media?

I find this very interesting too. Someone has their car serviced regularly by ABC workshop...... They have never had any problems previously. One day their car won't go, so they come on here and make a thread saying that 'i took my car to ABC workshop and now its rooted' ...the 200 people who just read the thread won't be taking their cars to that workshop anymore.., and they're going to pass the word on to all their mates, who pass it on to their mates etc etc. What happens when the poster returns a week later and says "well nobody told me not to put a spanner between the battery terminals" ? The workshop just lost a bunch of customers because some retard doesn't know which way is up. If people think that a particular workshop/business has caused a problem, then they SHOULD let people know about it.... but make sure you can back up what you're saying. I personally don't understand the fascination with name dropping... If you have a problem with a workshop/business, wouldn't you want to try to deal with it discreetly? Wouldn't the company want you to deal with it discreetly? There is a very good chance that the workshop does not have an account here, and cannot answer to accusations... as such, posting it up here is a waste of time. If you DO have a legitimate problem with a company, it really is best to go to the source of the problem or get yourself a lawyer to do it for you... rather than slanging off at companies over the net.

You should be looking around the $10k bracket anyway... The cost of insurance will bump you up to around $15,000 if you're wanting to insure an import on P's. Here's a list of Car sales and Importers B)

anyone?

Bloody BMW drivers.

um.... kinda like..... this?

Why is the bowl of fruit wearing a belt? Is it scared its pants will fall down?

When initiating a search, there is an option to: "Search in child forums if sub category is chosen?" You can leave the box checked, or untick it. One would assume that unticking the box would tell the search to NOT search in the child forums, but I can't seem to get any joy from this feature. eg; If I want to do a search in the "skyline and other vehicle specific discussion" area, and search only posts in that area, shouldn't unticking the box generate results only from the SAOVSD area? or is that not how it works? help me funkeh! you da man with all the answers (i hope)

The older a car is, the harder it is to find parts for. Especially cars which weren't sold locally. Price is dependant on supply and demand. If there is a big demand, and not many parts, people can charge as much as they want, you can choose to pay, or go without. As a rule, antiques become more valuable with age. Cars aren't that much different.

...and I've moved it into Skyline discussion... cos it looks like a Skyline to me.
