  1. the more the merrier
  2. with us or on its own?
  3. Needs bolt on flares and much wider Watanabe's
  4. Adaptions of the current logo. Now in Nissan font, which i have, making it much easier to get print/high quality logos. At the end of the day guys, this logo will be plastered over members cars, so think about how your logo will look on the front windscreen of your car.
  5. trying to do an r31 club style logo, but cant get the lines right.
  6. more Stageas would be great!
  7. anyone else see the resemblence between "Pyromania - Cascada" and "Charlie bit my finger autotune remix"
  8. R35 presence for the club would be great if anyone could arrage Would also love to have a Willall car down, even the Evo? We can have a poster on the windscreen stating "Major club sponsor". Anyway, for club members, further display talks will occur in the members section.
  9. Sorry for being such a lazy ass guys, heres the list: Matty: Poontroll Krishy: 33T Abe: 33T Damo: 34T Shane: 32R Norman: 34T Troy: 34T James: 33R Dan: 32R Jarrad: 32R Anthony: 32T Steven: 33R Wayne: 32R Chris (zirty two): 32T, unconfirmed Nik: 33T Dion: 32R Ruby: Stagea Hint hint, 32gtr's are strongly encouraged to enter, the more we get the better
  10. yay for Matty, he has to go south, north to pick your car up, then drive all the way down south again. lol
  11. lol, sorry, Nisstune. Was way too early.
  12. we dunno if they got your application, we just go by entrants telling us their in.
  13. now on to bigger and wider
  14. dont do it Wheeze bag. buy a CHEAP daily, and spend on the gtr...
  15. gets my vote. It could be a possibility to assist handing out his fliers/information at upcoming SAUSA events. will check with exec.
  16. and the good news is Iran dont have the know how to enrich 232 to 235!
  17. Yeah solar and wind are great but they just dont produce enough power relative to their size. A nuclear reactor can span the size of a wind farm, and produce shitloads more energy. We will always have wind farms tho, they seem to be doing pretty well powering rural areas, and Mike Rann uses them to gain popularity because he is looking to the future of power and creating jobs for SA. The issue is, wind and solar arent a major solution to power of the future. from wiki: Research into these reactor types was officially started by the Generation IV International Forum (GIF) based on eight technology goals. The primary goals being to improve nuclear safety, improve proliferation resistance, minimize waste and natural resource utilization, and to decrease the cost to build and run such plants. So wtf are those green bastard worried about? If they had it their way, we would all be eating tofu burgers from maccas and driving Priuses. Nuclear proliferation is another interesting topic. There is currently more than 16,000 nuclear weapons currently ready for deployment, with ranges longer than to your front doorstep. The US has nearly 7000 ready and 3000 in storage, Rusia has 8500 and 11,000 in storage. China has a DF-4 long range ballistic missile, 28 metres long and capable of reaching Australia, and contains a 2190kg nuclear warhead. It could explode on Darwin with a force of 3300 kilotons. Hiroshima was just 15 kilotons. (info from Zoo mag, strangely enough)
  18. Congratulations to David (writeoff) for winning the track day raffle. He will now participate at the low cost of $5. Mind boggling as to why more tickets didnt sell, even to those who had already paid and/or entered, surely the $5 gamble is worth saving hundreds. Again, Congrats David from the exec
  19. mmm ftw, im bringing some back from Syd soon! Although, i do actually think that Gourmet Glaze original glaze are better than Krispy Kreme original!
  20. why is the government so against anything nuclear? Is it the lack of efficient disposal of the waste? They will lose votes because of it? taken from readers digest: Australia has around 40% of the world’s uranium reserves – more than any other country – and exported nuclear fuel worth around $520 million last year. While we’re happy to sell uranium abroad, the idea of nuclear reactors being built here to provide our future energy needs doesn’t sit well with some. Last year, the government appointed ex-Telstra chief Dr Ziggy Switkowski, a nuclear physicist and now chairman of the Australian Nuclear Science and Technology Organisation (ANSTO), to head an inquiry into nuclear energy. His report, Uranium Mining, Processing and Nuclear Energy – Opportunities for Australia?, recommended that Australia aim to have its first nuclear reactor operational by 2020, and a fleet of 25 reactors by 2050. In April, the government announced it would start putting regulations in place to see this happen – a move that would mean a third of our electricity needs are met from nuclear power. What do people in the know on both sides of the nuclear power debate say about safety? Here are the facts and views, for and against. You decide for yourself – and we invite you to register your opinion on whether Australia should go nuclear in our website poll. Yes: It's safe * The nuclear industry has an excellent safety record over 50 years. Reactor design has improved substantially since the 1986 Chernobyl disaster. * New Generation Three reactors are more fuel-efficient, safer and cheaper than the old reactors. A modern reactor costs about $3 billion, half of which is spent on safety and security systems. New reactors have less chance of a core meltdown, produce less waste and have more passive safety features, reducing the risk of human error. * Modern reactors can withstand the external threat of missiles, even of an aircraft crashing into them. * Building nuclear power plants won’t increase the threat to our electricity grid from terrorism. * The danger of nuclear arms proliferation will remain the same whether or not Australia introduces nuclear power. Radioactive waste is stored in underground repositories in geologically stable locations that are remote from the population. More than 90% of the Australian continent satisfies these criteria. Repositories occupy the space of less than half a swimming pool. By contrast, there are millions of tonnes of heavy metal waste produced by fossil fuels, which last forever. No: It's too dangerous * It’s 21 years since the Chernobyl disaster in Ukraine, and 350,000 people are still displaced and vast tracts of productive land unusable. * As well as Chernobyl and Three Mile Island, there have been hundreds of nuclear accidents and near misses, says the environmental group Friends of the Earth. Eight have involved damage to or malfunction of the core and five have resulted in deaths. * High-level nuclear waste would need to be transported across Australia, then isolated safely for 200,000 years. The waste is very unstable and vulnerable to earthquakes and natural disasters. * The legacy of toxic radioactive waste could lead to cancer epidemics, genetic diseases and foetal abnormalities. * Expanding the world’s nuclear industry could lead to the proliferation of nuclear weapons. * Dr Helen Caldicott, anti-nuclear activist: “We spend millions of dollars trying to find a cure for cancer, [yet] here’s an industry that will directly propagate that hideous disease. Nuclear power is medically contraindicated.” Technology of the future? Technology developed by ANSTO uses synthetic rock (Synroc) to immobilise high level radioactive waste for disposal. Synroc is an advanced ceramic that uses geochemically stable natural compounds to incorporate the elements present in radioactive waste into the internal structure of the material. Synroc is already being used to encapsulate the waste from nuclear plants and as a result of military activities overseas. Elsewhere, a form of glass is used to immobilise nuclear waste. The nuclear industry says these technologies immobilise the radioactive waste for 100,000s of years. In the next 25 to 30 years, Generation Four reactors are expected to come online. These will have the capability to further “burn up” high-level radioactive waste to reduce the need for isolation to just 300 years. “If this works as proposed, it will transform the whole waste issue,” says ANSTO Chief of Operations, Ron Cameron
  21. Im interested to what is going to come out of this discussion. "Have your say" kinda points to the fact that people will be talking about issues that are affecting the import/car enthusiast community at present, but are these "car identities" going to rally for us and get our points across to the people who matter, or is it just a pointless bitch about what the government wont do for us? If its the latter, I can just stay on SAU with SAFM playing, looking at suicidegirls.com.
  22. Benji is selling an RB20 ecu with nisstune chip installed for $440
