Spotted JDM34 yesterday going round the round-a-bout near our works. I was in our board room in a very important meeting watching the cricket.

I got over it ages ago. 10c increase is $5 a tank. Doesnt worry me too much. That said I do find it 'odd' how there is no collusion, and the price of potentially week old petrol in underground tanks gets more expencive on a Wednesday rain hail shine. And I also find it odd how as soon as the election was over the prices jumped, even tho the oil price was lower than it had been durring the campaine.

If you are up in SE Qld, its probably also the wind, its insane atm. Even my car is moving about. That or as above, if you are hitting puddles on one side, it might pull.

Without rereading it all. Just go up and ask . As they say, persistance pays! HAHA! (that or you'll get a restraining order against you, either way all good fun)

Or you could just stop driving thru speed cameras?

You have a fridge in your glovebox? Has anyone got the full list of factory options???

QLD does have a double demerits system, but it is different. We have never had seasonal double demerits. If you are caught speeding 20kmh and over twice within a 12 month period, on the 2nd offence you loose double the points.

Would this not be if you have a number of illegal mods which would have in the past given you a yellow sticker?

Mines not quite that clean. But its way cooler, and I'd sell it for less than that!

Thats pretty well handled dude. Didn't give him what he was after which was a reaction. I guess the biggest issue here is (other than the cops and their lack of staff...) is the guy already has kids, so its too late to stop the evolution of his redneckedboganess. And if you think you are Australian, as far as I'm concerned you are.

Now thats the comment that deserves the WTF... I could right now go out to my car turn it on. Look at the fuel pressure gauge, turn the lights on, look at it again and its going to be at the same pressure. Either way, if you aim your lights correctly you shouldn't have any day to day issues. Putting brighter lights in isnt going to solve the problem of the lights pointing to the sky, or directly in to the ground, they are still going to do that, just brighter. They will still be useless. Anyway, moving on.

911s, always has, always will.

QUEENSLANDERS take note, the Brisway is FAR superiour to the ubd. People from melbourne know what they are talking about with that one. Anyway, just go for random aimless drives. Go with some mates, you get to an intersection, first to say left/right/straight wins and thats where you drive. (have street directory handy for when the fuel light comes on tho). Just remember landmarks etc. Best way to learn the place is to get lost. And I always park next to a pier or a wall. Means its only one side of the car some fool can open their door in to, not both.

I just have my lights aimed properly... Works a treat.

Spotted the spry mobile, down on logan road parked. First time I've seen it since the kit and paint! Looks pretty good. Also saw a handful of other skylines, cant remember where tho, because I was stupid and was listening to my dads directions so we got lost.

Hey mate. I've got the SK set up, its not the standard one he does, and its in a cefiro. But from memory I'm just down the road from you. So if anyone else doesn't come forward sing out, it will give you a rough idea. But I've had 3 different set ups in my car, and the SK one is by far the best.

Just harden up man! Its going to be wayyyy cheaper to just get used to it.

As Rohan mentioned I have a DrDrift chip as well. Bang for buck I swear by it. Sure its not a full motec, but I mean its a street car. But yeah, mine was just Sams off the shelf for basic modded RB20s (ie cooler, bit of boost filter etc) so all we did was plug it in, wack it on the dyno to check it all was running fine, which it was. So it was the cost of the chip, and the cost of a dyno run. My afrs are a perfect 12, so much so you can almost run a ruler along the afr line. Power was up about 15-20kw atw before the chip. Way way more mid range. And most importantly it did all of that AND I get more kms per tank of fuel, approx 50kms to every tank to be exact. Add to that no boost or speed cut, and the rev limiter moved. So if you have a basic modded RB20 that might be the way. Get the chip up by post (REALLY easy to install), put it on the dyno then go from there. Mine didnt need any extra tuning, neither might yours. As everyone else has said tho. Talk to Sam. But for me about 2 years ago it cost like $450 or so with the dyno time.

Yeah, Id be running with the driver will live forever. The chances of the car staying together for long enough for him/her to kill themselfs I would think would be rather slim. But think, people buy R32 golfs and turbo them... Now R36 golfs are coming out, same thing will happen there. Some of those are running a good 500hp+

And thats when you know you've made it. When you have a full time lackey to just do stuff.

Actually... They will want to see your licence before you even getting in the car. While they have that they will do a credit check. You aint got a snow flakes chance in hell of getting a drive. That and I also think the waiting list is longer than a toilet roll.

Id just ask. What are they going to say? No?

Back to the DSG gearbox maybe having something to do with it... Obviously not the same cars, but it is a good example. So thats 0.3 of a second just do 100kmh. Going around a 22km track, thats got to add up to a lot.

Well I got mine done today, seems my issue was 6mm total toe out on the REAR. Also my front left camber adjustment, the nut is shagged or something so they were unable to adjust it, just no other place decided to tell me that. So its been sitting on -0.6* camber for the past 12 months... Which would explain a lot.

Haha, nah Rohan, I did actually see you today... just. Too late to wave back. Sorry dude. Also saw JDM34, you were heading north, I was heading south, on mt lindsay highway. Waved, but raining and all prob a bit hard to see.
