CRoNic...

Damo, I was considering sending her a letter. I can't believe the rubbish she wrote in that article!! It basically says people who drive in the hills late at night are drunk, too!

They have this in all other states, so they were bound to bring it here. I'd like to thank The Advertiser for their stereotypical 'hoon' view they've pushed across in every article they can fit the word into. I'd also like to thank this lovely lady, Lainie Anderson, for her lovely 'Wankers on Wheels' story about hills driving the other day in the paper *Read it here: http://www.news.com.au/adelaidenow/story/0...5012955,00.html What I would like to see is these people who come up with these P plate laws, attempt to live a normal life while owning a imported Japanese car, and to modify it in a correct way and attempt to drive through a few RBT's in town with P plates up. 1. P platers, do too, have lives and friends. But now they can kiss goodbye getting more than 1 of their friends into the car to go see a movie. Hello, Mr. Public Transport! 2. P platers, do too, have friends who go out to town... drink... and require a ride home at 3am. But nope, Hello, Mr. Taxi! 3. How about Turbo Diesel 4WD's? Are they counted as high performance cars since they have a turbo?! Pathetic. This all comes about due to endless 'hoon' media coverage not to mention the large amount of rubbish comments I see on www.news.com.au on any news article that has the word import in it (Eg. Ben from Pooraka says: Ban the driver for LIFE! Imports MUST be FORBIDDEN). But yes, I can see why they've brought this in. It's the small minority of dickheads out there who think piling 9 people into a VN Commodore and then ripping up the handbrake on a wet road would be awesome, that ruin it for the sensible P plate drivers. It was bound to happen. That's my rant for the evening. Goodnight. Edit: Ah! That news article link isn't working... try this one: News Article

Compliance and defect are handled under roughly the same system. Compliance is just alot more lenient and not as stringent with the checks on the actual condition of the vehicle.

Dave, is your quote mild steel or stainless? Seems really cheap!

Yeah, Queensland and Sydney are where the 'Queen St' lovers are at (22" rims, tan leather, air brushing, giant necklaces/whatever hanging off the rear view/first names you can barely pronounce).

Spotted a black 33 and a silver 33 (both stock) going alone Railway tce. The silver 33 failed with it's stupid-looking chrome rims

I don't think that one we have here is even on SA plates yet? Or am I wrong?

PM sent.

^ I was on the Noarlunga train and saw it in the Goodwood area... just past the train station!

Lol why are you selling so quickly?! Over the fury of the RB26 already?!

Spotted a stock Silver 34 4 door with stock rims on Morphette street this morning Also spotted a Silver stag and a Black GTR - plates RBT-026 at Boostworx this morning when I was dropping off my GTR!

Ya I spotted this about 2 weeks ago pulling out of Colonades. Got a wave, too! Looks the goods!! Very different colour, too.

Spotted a dark blue 32 GTR - plates IGTR32I down at Goodwood... was it you, GTR-32?!

Oh right. Thought it was a GTR! Yeah the N1 spoilers don't look that bad. It all boils down to personal preference I guess

Can't say I like the look of a 32 GTR without the wing!!

Alternator?

Yes - the Autech version, from memory. One of my mates has one. Picked it up for 16k. They're pretty rare, though.

I'll be down, hopefully!

2 pipes would be better for twin turbo setups, right? 1 pipe for each turbo?

Along the lines of what I'm looking for, for the GTR! Looks the goods.

Was driving back from Melbourne in the mates Nissan Leopard, madly trying to make it back in time for the cruise... and then the battery + alternator failed... 2 tow trucks later in 2 different states, we made it home at 12am lol Lol so true. First, the car went into that 'limp' mode and he had no boost, then it fixed itself... and then it all died about 100k's later. Epic failure! Next failure was when ringing up the RAA: RAA: What kind of car is it? Me: A Nissan Leopard... RAA: ...Isn't that some form of animal? Me: Yeah, and it's a Jap import RAA: Oh... okay... will the RAA mechanic know what he is fixing when he see's it? Me: Yeah, hopefully... RAA: I'm going to have to Google this Leopard car after I get off the phone! Mechanic arrives... Me: Yeah, it's a stuffed alternator. Mechanic: Okay, pop the hood... *pops the hood* Mechanic: Oh... um... this is turbo? Me: Yeah Mechanic: Okay... eh... *points to a random area of the engine* is that the alternator? Me: Nah it's down there... *points to the alternator* Mechanic: Oh... right... um... eh... well... I can't fix it so... um... let's just tow it? Me: Good thinking

Do your parker lights and dash lights work?

Check spark plugs, coil packs, AFM's and then the alternator/battery? My mates car had a issue where it was running like it was nearly out of petrol, everything was going weird... turned out the alternator was stuffed and wasn't powering the fuel injectors correctly.

Spotted a black R34 GTR going down the M8 highway - plates Emspec, also spotted a Black 32 and a white Series 2 33 going around near the Crown... ...Oh hang on, I spotted all these in Melbourne lol. Melbourne fails for imports (spotted like 4...) but spotted a shit load of Masserati's, 2 Bently's, a few Aston Martin's and a Ferrari. Crazy stuff.

Yeah saw a white Chaser with 34 rims and a few Skyline's heading down the freeway... Spotted this from a tow truck I was sitting in lol.
