The US uses a different octane rating system to us. We use RON (Reasearch Octane Number) and the US uses MON (Motor Octane Number).... Japan uses a combination of both... more here..... http://www.motorcycle.com/mo/mcnuts/fuelron.html

Yeah, its no good..... Lucky i wasn't driving... was with a mate in an r31 and another in a soarer, they didn't get done, but i saw numerous imports receive a defect and overheard one officer accuse the owner of a (from what i could see) stock r33 gtr of doing 'burnouts'.... even after he explained that it would be hard to do in a 4wd car ridiculous, simply ridiculous and completely unjustified is all i can say... i really do hope a lot of people put in some complaints...

Gday Folks, I attended the cruise and i can only say one thing, what an utter waste of police resources.... sending 5 cars and 6 officers out to Newton to try and defect as many cars as possible (yes they did say that ), for over 2 hours. I for one am shocked and amazed at the actions of these officers, and would encourage anyone who came on the cruise to complain in all appropriate channels: The Police cars in attendance were: XQD 555 XQD 093 XQD 363 XQE 377 WQX 371 The Officers at the scene were: (only managed to get 1 name, but all numbers) 1964 (did not reveal name when asked politely .... i thought this was legal requirement if asked??) 4690 7244 8812 1817 2159 And the channels for complaint: SA Police: [email protected] Ph: 08 8207 5000 The Australian: http://www.theaustralian.news.com.au/secti...55ETEXT,00.html The Advertiser: http://www.theadvertiser.news.com.au/secti...s^^TEXT,00.html The ABC: http://www.abc.net.au/contact/ A Current Affair: P.O.

gday guys, just if you're wondering, some very interesting reading along the lines of BOV's , having 1 or not, and its affects on the turbine and associated systems http://ausrotary.dntinternet.com/forums/vi...c&highlight=bov

yeah, but the thing is catalytic converters only last for about 8 years anyway, after which the effectivness of the active metals in them (platinum etc..) is markedly reduced and they don't work. Crazy EPA people :wassup:

Hey guys, don't really post on this forum much, but i've been on here for about 3 years, and a member for over a year. Anyways, as for the petrol prices issue. A member of my family is quite high up in the coporate chain for ExxonMobil, and i can assure you its not profiteering or any other collusion issues going on with the oil companies and may have been stipulated before. OPEC and the countries (mainly middle east) associated with it, are the controlling factors in the price of crude oil, currently hovering around US $40 per barrel. Now factor into this the running cost of an oil refinery, and the cost of refining the petrol, of which fuels like Synergy 8000 and Optimax/BP ultimate are quite high as they are hard to produce, and the oil company makes somewhere around 1 or 2 cents per litre actual profit. As said before, if petrol prices are to be lower, the supply in the middle east has to be assured, and the price of crude come down, or other supplies tapped, but may i bring to your attention the government's 44c a litre fuel excise, put on every litre of fuel sold in australia. Get rid of some of that, and fuel can be made relatively cheap not trying to get on anyone's nerves here, but just hope to bring some facts to people's attenion :headspin: Cheers Robbo

do u have different diff ratios???

Gday, i can't believe no one has said r31 skyline????? They have great build quality, last forever, can take a pounding, have an lsd (sillhouette model), and even tho they may not handle like a dream, u fix that with some suspension, and then go and tow a boat or a trailer and carry 5 people if u need to. Also cops really don't pick on them, well as far as my experience goes.

still after springs....

bumparoo

Gday, I'm after some king springs (or similar) to suit an R31 sedan, and help would be much appreciated Cheers Robbo

Gday all, I'm wondering if anyone's got some king springs (or similar) for an aussie 31, I'm sick of towering over other cars :wassup:

Hey guys, went to the drags last night, was good, almost screwed up by the weather, but some decent cars n times were had, stay tuned for pics.... cheers Robbo

Hey all, there must be some funny stories out there about people and cars that they have hired, so let's hear 'em:D ;)

pics to [email protected] and the offset if you can find out cheers, Aj

yeah, i went to the cruise last night, have to say it was the biggest i have ever seen. Timmmayyy, did you see that r31 in bunnings that smoked it up good and proper??? THAT was GOLD, pure GOLD, although i don't know if he really needed people to lift up his guards lol

Yeah, got the latest speed, and for that you get another free bump, this car is awesome, i encourage someone to go and buy it right now!

Well, it doesn't really matter that much, i was just after some nice, but cheapish rims that fit my car

Hey, does anyone have, or know where i could get a hold of some non-turbo r33 or r32 rims? i need a 4x114.3 pattern Cheers, Robbo

Do you know if the diff centre will fit an Aussie R31???
