  1. I remember when youtube was just cat and car videos They were good times...
  2. Just saw Elysium... It's the year 2154 but at one point they're cruising around in an EV R35 GTR Baws
  3. It was rear ended as well... also... an impact like that and no air bags?
  4. Truck speed limiters are a bit different, they don't need to think about the current road speed limit, they just kick in at 110km/h as most of the occasions that truckies would speed is on the long straights where they trying to save time (Melbourne -> Sydney etc) If I turn from a 60km/h road onto a 110km/h highway onramp, I want to be able to accelerate to 110 right away... if GPS data is erroneous (it does happen) then it may think I'm still in the 60 zone and not allow me to accelerate up to the speed that traffic around me is doing. Horribly dangerous.
  5. Magnets.
  6. Some points to think about... Cost to implement this would be extreme... Also if its broadcasting a signal saying "Speed Limit is xxx here" it would need to do it at the start of the street... So close to the corner of a 50km and 80km road for example. You've just turned from one road onto the other, which is the correct speed limit if you're receiving 2 signals? GPS is another solution, I've got software on my phone which tells me the current speed limit for the road I'm travelling on (Trapster) as well as my current speed. Within 10 meters or so of a changed speed limit sign, it alerts me. However GPS isn't always great quality in all locations... Really cloudy or rainy days lowers accuracy, as does driving through the CBD with lots of tall buildings around. Sometimes when I'm on a 110km freeway, GPS spears me off to a sidestreet 50m to my left and yells at me that I'm doing 110km/h in a 40km/h school zone... In this situation, would it send an alert to my "speeding probation officer" telling him to lock me up and throw away the key? How would I prove I wasn't speeding, if the 'evidence' shows that I was. If this is linked to speed limiting the vehicles, would it slam on the brakes for me? down to 40 in a 110 zone? Now though... Next Gen GPS Technologies are being tested to replace the current GPS system which is prone to "hacking" from localised transmissions. So one day the GPS issues I've just mentioned could be null and void. Until then though, I don't think we possess the tech / money to make this work effectively.
  7. > no uni > no work, on annual leave > import monster installed my new shockworks coilovers > terriaki chicken bento box for lunch > lifted up my exhaust so it no longer scraped > stupid fking windy > it's friday, friday, gotta get down on friday good day so far.
  8. Meh... My CityLink account is set to Auto Top Up... if it gets below $10, it automatically adds another $40 to my account. Never have to worry about it... And if for some reason it doesn't top up (credit card changes etc) then the tag beeps at you to let you know.
  9. Nice Specs? Mods?
  10. Take the Evo body off it, and put on the Jesus body on... You'll be able to drive on water bro...
  11. Never trust a man with a dodge neck beard...
  12. http://www.autoindustriya.com/auto-industry-news/rota-wheels-warns-against-counterfeit-products.html Can't stop laughing at this pic
  13. Oh hai there
  14. Because I drove back from Matt's place with it
  15. I borrowed yours, lost it somewhere, searched for ages... drove to total tools and bought another, then on the drive home from total tools found yours under the front seat of my dads car when I was braking and it rolled out.

    and I've love to see a Not Guilty Plee after admitting on a public forum that he clocked 180km/h with a car load full of mates while it was wet... but it was ok because it was a long straight road with noone around... (<--- Shows that the OP thinks that it was ok)
  18. How big is it?
  19. I guess that's a positive of highflowing it... you can buy one with damaged fins for cheap as chips, as long as the housing is fine and doesn't have any cracks in it
  20. Yeah, + wastegate actuator + bracket for it
  21. Then we'd better bring along some stop watches Ryan... Wrong thread?

    Fixed your post... Andrew, we've got a massive problem in Vic with police cracking down on import and modified car owners because of hoon driving... We're mildly annoyed (to say the least) because your actions were just fuelling the fire.
  23. Highflowing your current turbo would cost like...$900 - 1000 including a 15psi wastegate actuator You could buy a second hand highflowed op6 for a bit cheaper than that, but obviously it wouldn't be brand new internals
  24. Wow... this guy should really be holding the wheel... Would love to see the effect of clipping some ripple strip and the wheel ripping out of his hand
