Akron, Im not going to get into the import process laws with you, im not sure how clued up you are on these but they were a joke that got abused. When you see R31 Skyline wagons, in DE auto trim being imported, that is a abuse of the rule. Can one be suprised when things like this flood the markets ? . Im not even going to go into any of the laws/taxes that the labour govt in WA has set in place, .... i dont need it a political debate thread. However, perhaps it is you that needs to think again. The support is overwhelming on the other Perth based forums. But, thanks for your input. Supafly, Because your not paying me (as ive allready stated), you pay the Liberal party, as a membership. I dont see this money, play with it, or sadly get to spend it. . However, $25 wont take me too far on mods, so its pretty academic.

Hey mate, i cut and posted this from my replies on perth street bikes, save me re-typing ... The best bang for buck fluid out there now is Motul RBF600 and Bel-Ray Super Dot4. Its 18bux or so for the small bottle (500ml) and has the highest wet and dry boiling points , equiv to SRF. Having said that SRF is mega expensive, and is best used on a dry build , ie : total rebuilt dry system. RBF600 (311c dry , 215c wet) actually exceeds SRF (310c dry, 270c wet) by 1deg , its only weaker in wet points meaning that it needs more often changing than SRF. Wet boiling point means total saturation of alcohol based (DOT 3, 4 and 5.1) fluids with water/moisture (spec is i think 5% or near enuf to one year) where the fluids is encouraged to boil with the water in the system. Another good one is Rock Oil DOT 5.1, that works superb, but remeber like any fluid and oil, they are suited to applications, meaning you reading this may love a certain brand and i may dislike its workings, and vice versa . Firmer feel is nothing to do with the DOT rating system, brand and even more so , brand in a particular setup. On my CBR 929RR with Nissin brakes , i have run a very solid Motul RBF 600, nice and firm, touchy for 1 finger braking. On the CBR 1000RR with the radial Nissin master cyl, and the radial Tociko calipers, the RBF 600 on the same lines was pure junk , soft and soppy and confusing that you wernt sure if it was actually a clutch .... as it was the first time i have had to do 4 finger to the bars braking. Im not going to say what i run on the track, but any racer that runs DOT5 is either uneducated, or on a death wish. DOT5 is crap, its made for amphibious applications by the US Army / Navy (AN) as its silicone based, you wong get hygroscopic contaminination. Its boiling poisnts are commonly much lower and it is a softer fluid. Also, swapping to DOT5 form a alcohol based fluid as from factory, as in DOT3, 4 and 5.1 family, needs a 'total rebuild' and not just a flush. It needs every aspect of the braking system stripped , cleaned and dried from any previous fluids. The reason is that silicone DOT 5 does not mix with also based fluids , and at point of separation you will get water buildup, and inconsistant braking pressure, what also later lead to corrosion and other nasties. ROCK OIL DOT 5.1 is a fantastic fluid for eg as far as feel goes, but for eg, the Bel Ray super DOT4 actually si just as firm if not firmer, and actually pisses all over the 5.1 in wet and dry boiling points. When it comes to brake fluids, brands , rep and packaging mean absolutely squat. Sadly even spec in some cases , as in the Motul RBF 600 as in the above example, its one of the highest boiling point fluids on the market yet will work like total crap in certain applications. The best way is personal exp. Where to get what ? If you roll into Pal & Panther in Angove st in North Perth, you can stop in and see Craig and tell him Saf sent you , (he shall do the right thing) , he has ... Dont quote me 100% on the prices ... Motul RBF600 ($18 500ml) Motul DOT5.1 ($14 500ml) Bel-Ray Super DOT4 ($16 500ml) Silkolene DOT4 ?? Silkolene DOT4 race (like $45 buc for 300ml, but VERY VERY good)

Hey peoples, If i may spend a few mins of your time and introduce myself to those of you that dont know me from SAU, or AHG, Barbagallo or the drags, my name is Ivan Safranek, and ive been a car and bike person my whole life. Ive raced motocross from age 4 till age 17 when i was forcefully made to retire back in 1992 with a broken back and spinal cord damage. This is how many of you may know me, the guy with the Toyotas in the 'chair. Currently i own a few Toyota's (Supra RZ TT, Gt-Four GRP A) and a couple Nissans (R32 Skyline race car project, 180sx Nurburgring racer in Europe), aswell as bikes, a few Hondas. I currently race a 175rwhp Honda CBR 1000 RR Fireblade in the state Superbike championship at Barbagalo raceway. I am also a long time perf part fabricator of exotic car and bike parts, however that may soon change. Sitting around and speaking to people in the last couple years i have seen a lot of change. I have seen laws get tighter and tighter, ive seen Police get less tolerant and im seeing less actual driving exp on the roads along with more road rage. Im 31 at the moment, so i dont fit into the P Plater hoon demographic, nor the 50+ old and senile "get that noise outa here" either, but i care for where things are going. How so ? . Well, i am about to enter state politics to give this place a bit of a shakeup, and give the car and bike people some actual real representation. I am tired of the former Michelle Roberts types, or the Grant Dorringtons who sit there and slam these laws and guidelines down upon us, and smile as they do it, because they know we havent got a leg to stand on. How many of you have recieved yellow stickers you cant get around , when they have actually been incorrectly issued ??? . I know quite a few. So how are you goign to stand up to the law ?. You cant. I marched in the Rally Aus protest march .... we get to Parliament house, we demanded to see Mark McGowan, (yet nieve idiots we were, we didnt even know if he was there) and they pretty much laughed at us. Waste of time. I got a cold, and nothing more. This is the way things are in Aus, you can protest, piss and moan , and NOTHIGN will happen, NO-ONE WILL HEAR YOU or care for that matter. There is only ONE way to get things resolved, and thats form the inside. So why me ? . Why not . I have been run out of the river with my Jet Ski's, i have lost one of my guns when it was deemed that perhaps a legit owner in a wheelchair may take his gun into a bank and hold it up, ive seen laws that say "mess up and we take your car" , i see no places to drift (excpet Wanneroo & Collie, but even they arent proper drift circuits), i see no-where for me to stunt my CBR929RR Fireblade bike, yet we arent allowed to do this on public roads. Am i the only one who see's a contradiction here ? . The govt says that the laws are fair, so if we take a Datsun Stanza for $200bux and do the same thing in the road as a $80,000 R34 GT-R , and get them taken off you ..... is that fair ? Is it the same punishment ? . What about you can drive drunk (and get nailed) not once , not twice, three times for eg, and you keep your car. Do a chirp from 1st to second, and you could be walking. Justify that !. I AM SICK OF the crap we live in here. People like Michelle Roberts (past) and Grant Dorrington dont care what the REAL issues are, if they did they would teach drivers of Perth how to simply merge, keep left and learn to correctly drive. Its all about revenue my freinds. As ive said before, to make simple changes id need to get around the whole "data shows" debate and actually push the obvious views. You can have a picture of a elephant in a jungle and you think "oh how lovely ...... " , zoom out and see there is a guy holding a gun ready to shoot its ass dead and take its tusks .... and some people in power would only revert back to the pretty picture and say "look , that elephant is so happy ..... ". So, what can you do ?. I need your help, its that simple. I need your help with a $25 membership to join my branch (i do not recieve this money, it goes to the party) and make the numbers. We need numbers and strength. I dont care if you drive a atmo Silvia, or a nitrous fed 355 Commodore, its irrelevant at this time, what isnt is that we stand together on this one. Twenty Five bills is what it will take, and to spread the word. Simple as that. Its not too much to ask and its not something you will miss, but it is something that will go towards a change. How so you may ask ? ..... well, you then bring one of your own (me) into the state govt and form there with the numbers, we can make a change to laws, we can put forward proposals , we can keep the future of what we love, without it being cut off at the knees. The numbers?. Think of it this way, and without going into too deep political debate, numbers rule politics. Numbers is power. Think of two hills and a valley. On one side you have 60 people. On the other you have 300. In such a case .... its not really even a war, its a mercy killing. I need to get pre-selected, and again with numbers, this isnt a problem. I am not working on this alone, i have long time insiders who are helping me get to where it is we need to be, and make the change. So what party is it ?. It will be with the Liberal party. Now some of you may have an issue with that, and some may not. I will not go independant, spend 12 years to loosen hoon laws for eg, and then retire with bugger all done. You need to work in with the "big 2", and that leaves the Libs or Labour. Considering that Labour spawned the Roberts' and Dorrington's, there isnt a hope in hell ill support such a party, so please, i dont wnat replies with conversion and low ball comments on what you think the Libs stand for. Its a question of support, or no support. So whats the policies i can bring ?. Well, when your going to run for pre-selection its not a time when you stand up with policies, as you are joining a established liberal party, with liberal policies. If this were a voting support post, where im running for Premier or PM, then yes thats different, but its not the same deal here. How it works is (as a forum memeber decreibed it on another forum that was clear as day).... Imagine im applying for a job, and i need your support. I get into the job, i can then as an employee of a company speak to the management and make a change simply because i have many customers behind my cause. Politics isnt exactly like that, but thats a really rough annology. The poiint being is.... if you have a issue with something, you then have someone who has the power to make a change, and preserve what we want to keep going for the future. For those that are interested, i shall be setting up banking details next week to get this ball in motion. Thanks for the time guys, and please dont dismiss this as "it doesnt really effect me", as it does, and i really do need your support. Thanks PS: Ill cut and paste this into a few forums here in Perth, please dont be shy to spread the word !!
