Sigh ....Okay whatever, just proving that my facts were straight that is all. Correct me if I am wrong but I believe you were the one who compared them to RB20DE/RB25DE engines. And you were the one who said that they aren't as powerful as a R34GTT. You don't like them..... I like them You like angles....... I like curves and angles You like old styles .... I like new styles and old styles So we appreciate different things. I appreciate all cars for wht they are, I have owned four turbo cars (two skylines, a 300zx and a S13) to date. But I am not going to let that bias me against N/A engines or newer car designs. As I said before, some people can acccept change and don't mind thinking differently, others don't have it within themselves. We all have different tastes. Each to their own! -

Ummm I do have my facts straight, Skyline r34 GTT stock 206KW x 1.34 = 276HP G35 coupe the first models did 280HP the new ones do 295HP You need to chill out a bit, I am not having a go at you just stating facts, as you will notice in one of my posts above I said " But each to their own I guess, peoples tastes are different". -
who said it was just skylines that cause trouble :)

Why? he is entitled to his opinion, just as you are. I must say that I am sick of hearing B.S about stock GTST's taking down faster cars. But by the same token when I am on the LS1 forums I am sick of hearing the B.S of stock HSV's taking down GT-R's and Porsches, both camps can be as bad as each other. Me, I like all cars and can respect them for what they really are. -

except they are making double the horse power that the N/A R32/R33/R34 can do. In fact they make more horsepower stock than a lightly modded GTST/GTT does. -

yeah it's all relative to your personal experience and your willingness to accept change. I am 31, so older than most of you guys here, and I definitely grew up with the R32/33/34 car shape. Times change, car design changes for reasons other than looks. I must admit when they first came out I wasn't too impressed but as time went by, the more I learnt about them the more I began to like them, probably as I age more towards the market they are designed for. I am looking at importing one near the end of this year which will undergo a few modifications when it arrives here It requires changing your thinking and some people can and others can't, thats why you will see old codgers thinking that unless it's a V8 it can't be powerful, or the old Holden vs Ford B.S and no other car is worthy. They don't have it within themselves to accept change. -
Awesome news Rezz can't wait until The 39th Tokyo Motor Show (Oct 19 – Nov 6, 2005) hopefully we will see some "spy pics" before then

I like the coupe. 2005 version pushing out 295 HP stock and the previous versions doing 280 HP stock with low 14 second 1/4's stock I mean whats not to like. Plus with some decent rims they uber nice. eg. All nice examples, sure they don't have the blocky shape of the older JDM Skylines, but things are moving on. You can bet that the new GTR will look closer to these and the 350Z than it will to the R34, when it finally comes out. But each to their own I guess, peoples tastes are different. -
http://www.news.com.au/story/0,10117,12260...45-1242,00.html SPEED camera fines for low-level offences will be slashed by nearly half under one of the most radical reforms of New South Wales road rules in decades. Responding to growing motorist fury at speed camera policing, new Roads Minister Michael Costa said yesterday fines would be cut from $130 to just $75. It will be the first time in recent history that speeding fines have been reduced in severity rather than increased. The catch is the offence will instead attract an extra demerit point to ensure safety becomes the focus rather than revenue gathering. The changes are just one component of a complete overhaul of road rules expected to be announced by Mr Costa today. The unpopular fines, which most motorists see as nothing more than a year as a result. Of the 551,568 speeding infringements issued in 2003, 368,099 or 67 per cent, were in the 0-15km/h category. The State Government makes more than $1 million a week in revenue from fixed speed cameras and Treasury is yet to determine how it will accommodate the revenue loss. The review stems from an opinion growing within Government that road rules had now become unworkable and inconsistent, leading to ever-increasing driver frustration. On Mr Costa's hit list are the maze of speed limit zones, which he wants to make more consistent, citing some instances where drivers are forced to travel through dozens of changes in speed in the course of only a few kilometres. The 40km/h school zones will also be reviewed through a new focus of keeping students safe but not placing unnecessary burdens on drivers and traffic flow. It had recently been revealed that the RTA had programmed its cameras to catch speeding drivers on pupil-free days. Stiffer penalties for right lane "hoggers" - drivers who travel too slowly in right hand lanes - will also be considered to ease road rage and improve traffic flow. Speed cameras would be looked at to make sure they were in the right location for safety improvement rather than revenue raising. Mr Costa has called a road users summit for March where the changes will be discussed with motoring groups, motorists, government agencies and business groups. Whether the Roads and Traffic Authority (RTA) is supportive of the moves or sees them as a reform agenda being pushed on it by a new minister has yet to become clear. Initial comment from within the organisation is that the proposals are welcomed. The gesture by the State Government is aimed at trying to convince the public that draconian road rules were not about revenue raising but safety. "I want to send a clear message to the community that road laws are about road safety," Mr Costa said. "That's why I am reducing the fine for lower level speeding offences and adding one demerit point to these offences. "Better vehicles and road design enforcement and driver education mean our roads have become safer. "But road rules have also become more complex. That's why it's time for a fresh look at the way we approach the issue. "I've asked the RTA to begin reviewing key issues affecting motorists in NSW in preparation of the summit." The new fixed camera fines will apply only to the 0-15km/h speed category. The fine will drop from $130 to $75 but will now attract three demerit points instead of two.

No worries, that will buff right out -
http://members.cox.net/tivopictures/flamingshot.wmv wonder if any thing like this happened at the chilli eatoff, or will it be happening from the other end tomorrow?

well gives you enough time to do your research, so you don't sell yourself short

I think you have to be over 21 or 25 to be a mature age student and have current experience in the course you want to study, although I could be wrong. A diploma may give you credits towards a Degree course at Uni, I would ask the people in admissions at Tafe, otherwise you could be wasting your time.
-
Well then if I were you I would resit my OP at tafe and then go to Uni, a diploma ain't worth much in business unfortunately

You should matriculate with a higher OP score at Tafe, then go to Uni and get a degree in International Business imho
