Personally I think the new (fairly new, 2005) XR6s are horrible to drive. The parents own one. The entire cars just horrible to drive. I prefer my AU Falcon to their XR6.

Without an amp its going to sound pretty dodgy no matter what. 3/4/5/6 way = gimmics. I wouldn't even go 6*9s. A nice set of 6.5'' and a small sub = louder and pound harder.

Nice speakers. I auditioned them when I was looking - ended up with the Z6 but the pros are nice.

Talk all you like, reference if you want to prove someone wrong...

I hope fuel rises to $2/l then the lazy shits will walk instead of driving for 2-5 minutes everywhere. Waste of resources if you ask me.

Can't forget about the gentlemens agreement... Nissan couldn't really add anymore stock power to their cars till recently. But who cares, cars have different purposes.

How much did something like that set you back?

Wow that is nice. Is that generally the going price for a 2002 250t RSfour V?

It would also depend on which roads they were on (GPS will find that out) and the time of day. Since you own a GTR I'll assume it is a manual so the risks are lower for you Guess I would possibly make the call without the police authorising it if I felt in the situation it was safe but I'd make sure I only did it if I thought it was a last resort (safety pending) or he was going to injure someone/damage the car...

I wasn't fighting I was just discussing my reasons for wanting a fairly stock stagea and me and Rob just misunderstood each other mostly because I didn't explain myself properly in the early posts. I havn't been into stageas that long so I am still sussing out who owns them and what kind of people are generally attracted to them and I am finding out slowly that the majority of stagea owners are family people so fairly responsible and well thought out mods and such

I don't give a shit if the guy stealing the car dies. It is the family that is driving on the other side of the road that he crashes into... Are you willing to risk the lives of possibly 5 people just to get your car back quicker? If you have a GPS monitoring system you are GOING to get it back... no point endangering the lives of others. If you were directly involved in the deaths of kids parents, parents kids, boyfriends, sisters, girlfriends (directly as in you turn the car off, yes, that is directly) how would you feel? Once it has happened was it worth it? Was it worth getting your now smashed car back a little bit quicker?

Minority # a group of people who differ racially or politically from a larger group of which it is a part # being or relating to the smaller in number of two parts; "when the vote was taken they were in the minority"; "he held a minority position" # any age prior to the legal age wordnet.princeton.edu/perl/webwn Refer to the 2nd point, we are the smaller of a number of two parts - of owners. This site represents a minority of owners. I don't know who Alex is so I have nooooooooo idea what car you are talking about, lol. But also to do with buying it depends on how much $$$ in funds I have at the time. If the car has been modified tastefully and with quality parts then I am more likely to get it, but when I was looking at skylines I found the majority had been modified with below average quality mods and I'd rather have stock.

Great idea, turn the car off at over 60kph. Kill the guy stealing your car, kill an innocent family and go to jail. There is a reason quiktrack won't do it without the cops and thats because it is bloody dangerous.

Catching Geese is no easy feat.

You didn't, I mean comments. Can't be bothered editing. Well, I won't be responding to this thread now. I was in a bad mood at almost being run over (as you would be) and since it was a skyline this was the best place to vent anger. I am over it - sort of.

Won't bother answering the dog questions - but go join dol if you like... bad mouth me on there... they won't care You clearly know little about dog behavior so they'll just laugh. So are you expecting everyone who doesn't own a skyline to leave? So I should get something then research to make sure I got a good deal? Is that the general idea of the site? Surely if it was then there would be a rule in place requesting no one to post unless they own a skyline? There is not, therefore is it really your place to request people to leave just because they don't own one? I already said I went about voicing my complaints the wrong way. I was pissed off, we can leave it at that but I bet someone else will come on and I'll feel the need to reply.

Huskies are adapted for temperature swings Not the cold I probably did bring it up wrong and not think it through very well but I am a skyline enthusiast as well... I was just pissed off that someone could drive so recklessly with no regard to anyone but themselves. Mushroom: You really ought to snake proof your dogs - my boy is. Plus, the on by command is used to force the dog to ignore things like snakes, birds and other distractions. Cars back firing I really don't know but he doesn't mind loud noises and ignores thunder. Just because everyone thinks I am in the wrong, where do you propose I train him? Forests are a no go, reserves are a no go, footpath is a no go so where am I suppose to train? Add to that he needs 2 hrs of excersize a day how am I suppose to give him it if I can't use the road edge? He can't go to offlead parks as he can jump too high. The road is the only place I can train, it isn't ideal but it is all I have. I just don't want to see the day someone comes around and hits my neighbours on their horses. They can be responsible for the deaths of two horses and 2 young girls.

Einstein: Who is flaming? I came on here requesting that if anyone engages in this that they could show some courtesy and stop as this is the largest skyline website in Australia. EDIT: How is what I was doing different to walking on the side of the road, cycling on the side of the road? Don't judge what the control of my dog was like. He would NOT turn onto the road and is a VERY obedient dog. Stop assuming it is more dangerous than walking or cycling - it isn't. I was on a BMX with special attatchments so I had both hands on the handle bars. Sledding is done with a scooter but he isn't old enough to pull loads so I was on a bike. Once he is of age I will be doing it on the dirt roads or our property. Bryn: Your opinion doesn't matter much to me. Seriously guys, in a shit load of threads you moan and whinge about the public perception of import drivers and how they are wrong and the cops are wrong to target you. If you don't condemn other performance car drivers for doing the wrong thing then it is never going to change. You whinge that the cops can't be bothered finding your cars after being stolen, that you get defect after defect when you don't deserve them. Grow some balls and let your mates know it isn't cool, let your pairs know they are idiots. All you guys are doing is sticking up for the moron that almost ran me over. The fact that my dog was with me is rather irrelevent as he was inline with me. If it was just me the same thing would have happened... almost been hit. Stop focusing on ways to discredit the other party and just come to realise that SOME performance car drivers don't deserve to have their licenses. This reminds me of the thread recently about the car that crashed in Alex Headlands/Mooloolaba - an RX7 I think it was. Everyone felt sorry for him. I felt sorry for you guys as performance car drivers. Idiots like him are the reason you are all targetted unfairly and when people realise that large communities like SAU will look down upon them for doing it they might just stop. It is all well and good to have a policy that disallows talk of street racing but that isn't enough IMO.

He is a working dog Sledding, you know... dog pulls something... it is done on land as well as snow. I have perfect control of the dog. If I say left then he will go left, if I say right he will go right, stop stop and run run.. I can't train a sledding dog (husky) in a park. You wouldn't do this because you don't own a sledding dog. Staffies arn't made for sledding - they have none of the natural instincts. Ryan: You are right, 4/5 was an over estimation but it is high. I'd say half - that is half of the SKYLINES are stupid not half of the cars, but the cars I see the most are skylines (That could also be because I recognise skylines because I love them and take notice of them for all I know there could be twice as many people being tossers in civics but I don't recognise and take notice of them. I am also assuming you are a responsible driver and one of the ones who suffer because of idiots. I love skylines. I am not attacking them, just the idiots who get them because of Fast and the Furious

I was in the wrong... That is what it was like, sorry I forgot to draw a stick man indicating me but I was in the bushes so I thought it'd be too hard but I hope you can grasp the concept that he was CUTTING ACROSS LANES and DRIVING DANGEROUSLY which is what the MAJORITY of PERFORMANCE cars which happen to be SKYLINES do on this road.

I said, skyline drivers account for 4/5 cars being irresponsible on these roads. I like skylines, I like skyline drivers. Nothing against skylines. There is nowhere safer. This road is the safest road on the range. It has the most amount of homes and has the widest roads with the lowest speed limits. My problem isn't with the speed limits. If the corner is a BLIND CORNER and is a KNOWN HORSE RIDING area you will take it at the speed limit or recommended limit and leave the 1m to the side of the road (You know, the area where you arn't suppose to be driving in) FREE as people use it for cycling and horse riding and other such activities. If a truck chooses to break the rules and go into that area as well then he is just as much in the wrong. My abuse is not misguided. They break the law, drive dangerously and I will abuse them. If they hit me or my dog they will loose their car and probably the majority of their other assets. When these guys use these roads they are apexing all the corners, cutting onto the other side of the road - like the guy did this morning. If you support people doing this then I can see why skylines have such a bad rep - I was behaving 100% legally and I know I was and whether in your most expert opinion you agree with me or not is really irrelevent. The road isn't just for drivers it is for everyone. If you can't drive safely don't bitch at me when skylines cop more and more crap. I can see why they do.

Side of road... You know, where you ride bikes? Go jogging? All 100% LEGAL... All ready checked with the cops to see if it is legal training him and it is... I assume other people are acting legally... Thanks to f**ktards (not you, the dog hating nancies), I can't train in parks or trails Check the laws, dogs banned on all bush walking tracks... Do you even know what dog training is? My fella can run pretty damn fast... I can't train him on footpaths or in parks... I think you are still misunderstanding me. Follow the road rules and I don't give a crap. Don't cross lanes, don't speed, don't do burnouts... I have no problem with people cruising. If they choose to continue breaking the road rules then we can do something about it ourselves I am well aware of who you are, I've met you before so I know exactly who you are. I don't need your plates. Probably don't remember me though. Ian: Drive on it! I don't care! Just don't be stupid that is all I am asking It IS a good road, fantastic road (bar the huge pothole that I forget about everyday) just stick to the speed limits (they change throughout the road) and don't cut corners. Thats how I almost got snapped. Quick edit: This was at like 11am :S I wouldn't be training at night - illegal to fit lights on the bikes/scooters for racing so no one would be able to see me :S

I'll judge whoever I want to when they put me, my dog and my brothers in danger. It has nothing to do with being perfect. Don't be a dickhead on the road - it is that simple. If my dog was past his first week of training, re: months into it, he'd be dead right now and I'd probably be severly injured/dead as he would have been pulling alot harder (we were on our side of the road, some dickhead crossed over coming around a corner.) Sorry if you misunderstood, I don't RACE. I drive on the roads... there is a difference between following speed limits and going even slower if it is unsafe to do so and flying around at 30kph over the limit on blind corners. I have never copped a fine, never been in an at fault accident. I am not going to give people chances. If they risk the life of me and my dog whilst we are training then I'll go to the cops. Simple. Don't do it. Not everyone is, has been or will be a hoon. When I get a Stagea I won't be racing people. Street racing, dangerous driving, speeding, drink driving is all lame and I won't respect anyone doing it and if by going to the cops it makes it even shittier for import drivers then too bad. Not enough people condemn this attitude. How do you expect the name of performance drivers to increase when they arn't even looked down upon by the 'responsible'?

Only ranting it here in the hopes if any of you engage in this you take some notice of what I say. I live on the edges of the blackall ranges next to nambour and the roads up here are beautiful to drive on, rather high speed limits and nice whindy(SP) roads. Why is it that people INSIST on ignoring the 60kph signposted speed limit (It isn't signposted at the start of it, which indicates a 50kph speed limit so no sign is no excuse for speeding) and fly around corners at my estimate of 90kph? Everyone who lives on this road KNOWS what times people are out and MOST are careful. Kids ride their bikes around, people ride horses. THIS IS A RURAL AREA. The thing that pissed me off was today I was on the edge of the road starting the training with my Husky and some f**kwit in a skyline flies around the corner and I had to leave the road, slam my brakes on and had to take my Husky home as he injured his hind legs in the sudden stop. If anyone here engages in this reckless mountain driving. STOP. It is dangerous, and if you hit me, or my dog you won't hear the end of it and you WILL be punished via the law both in the civil courts and criminal. I have spoken to the police about this and they will be patrolling and setting up speed traps on the sections of road I have told them I see it happening on the most and I won't tell anyone what days or roads these are. There are mountain roads that have NO houses on them and HORSES are banned from riding on them. Can't you use these god damn roads (which coincidently have signposted limits of 80 and 100 which I am sure is fast enough for you.) I enjoy driving these roads as well... But I do it safely. From now on I will be taking down the plates and if I get a chance photographing the cars and posting them on a few sites and giving them to the cops so they can hassle you whenever they see you out. Defects galore! Don't worry - another suggestion from my local cops. And guys, these are mostly skylines - about 4/5 of the cars are skylines. We are doing wonders for the skyline reputation. ps; the road I am talking about is Dulong Road in Mapleton. - Midol.

How many stagea/skyline owners visit this site? This site represents a minority of owners. I have no doubts that the guys on this site mod theirs properly, it is the ones who just want a fulli sick sounding car that I worry about. I wasn't referring to air filters as a learning curve Air filters and exhausts are things I will buy with but would prefer not to. For example, redbook has roughly 20 stageas for sale right now and I'd say 5-6 of them MIGHT be members of SAU and thats pushing it. Sort of like the falcon I got now - had an aftermarket exhaust on it. Last night it snapped in the middle and the car now sounds like shit and I can't afford to fix it right now. Because of some toss pots bad choice in exhaust system I have to fork out money to replace it.
