  1. Yessssss, as long as it's not this month I'm away until the 28th Also, we need to do hot pot again once it starts getting colder.
  2. Was more the typos that the guy made when I first listed off the mods, BILE STINE Na, they don't care... I altered the Bilstein Shocks on the policy to now be Shockworks Coilovers, zero change to the premium, was just keeping the records up to date... If you're on agreed value, once you hit a certain number of mods the car goes into the "Modified" bracket, and small changes/additions don't alter the premium or excess or anything.
  3. Well it's definately a percentage game... My insurance jumped by $60 this year which was only 3%, acceptable. But if my mums insurance jumped by $60 then I'd be saying why the hell is is 15% more when the car is now worth less? Called up Shannons yesterday actually to fix a few things on my policy... including my listed mods being Bilestine Suspension, Walpro Fuel Pump and a Power Sc...
  4. On a street lined with cars, the lambo is crazy low... If it was coming fast (it was) then even if that the mazda did look, but couldn't see any cars coming in the immediate area... Lets say he could see 50m of clear space on the road he was turning onto, and couldn't see any other cars around because the lambo was low and far back, if the lambo was travelling at 50kph it would take a min of 4 seconds before it reached the mazda. In a 50 zone, that is more than enough to be considered a safe gap. Also, with an accident like that you don't get airborne at only 50, or 80
  5. hello sir
  6. Back when I was on my P's I did one of those defensive driving courses at Sandown, there was a 50-60yo guy in the 'classroom' who was decked out head to tow in blue FPV gear, even the matching cap, he was one of the students like the rest of us... I was expecting to go out there and see him jump into some beast of a fpv v8, nek minute base model falcon... and someone at the end of the day called him out on it, "Left your XR8 at home did you mate?" and he looked embarrassed and took off the hat... Closest I've been is wearing an old SAU VIC hoodie to a car meet and someone asking if I owned a GTR... I said no, and security was called to kicked me out.
  7. Just went to see Need for Speed with a mate, at Knox, in the Skyline... Come out of Ozone and start walking towards my car, boom, highway patrol, boom, divvy van... Then in a random dark side street in Vermont (Mildara St for any Birds playing along at home) there were 3 marked cars just sitting there... some random domestic or something must have happened But they were all standing around glaring at me as I cruised past, I honestly expected them to light up and follow Good movie actually, it's a switch your brain off and enjoy the car porn movie And enjoy it we did So glad I saw it at the movies instead of downloading a dodgy screener version...
  8. Ok, so you're making more power and stressing the cooling system more than you were in the past... What do you have? Stock everything? Have you changed the water pump and know that it is alright? Thermo is working? Whole system corroded and shitted out?
  9. Critical Incident Response Team I really should have said SOG - Special Operations Group... Pretty much our version of SWAT
  10. Havent you heard? They're not allowed to pull over a bikie without the SERT and CIRT teams surrounding them with guns, for their own safety...
  11. If something requires a torque wrench, I wouldn't be trusting a $25 one for the job. + 1 for using logic for everything else... I use a 60cm breaker bar, just a little tug on the end of it gets them to a good tightness, not overdoing it but def not coming off... Just keep those damn tyre shop rattle guns set to 10/10 away from my car and things will be alright...
  12. Martin what are your nuts made of? If they're too soft (like cheap alloy ones) then they love to mangle themselves and fk up the thread of the stud. I'd almost rather have a mangled stud than a mangled nut, since its easy to pop into a shop and pick up a single stud than it is to pick up a single MATCHING nut Edit: Actually quite enjoyed changing a stud in the motel carpark at DECA, was a lot less painful than I thought it was going to be... Do S14's have little cutout areas behind the stud like 33s have, so you can bash it out and remove it without taking the whole assembly apart? Only painful part was not having a hammer with me, so ended up using Anna and Luke's towbar Swung that shit like a baws...
  13. Breaker bar on the nut, then just roll the car forward it gets wedged against the ground and stops. 60% of the time, it works every time.
  14. I spotted it the other day, next to the drive through coffee next to the Burvale... Will bang tomorrow night.
  15. tick the box for "Shorten URL" and you can paste that
  16. That awkward moment when Lady Gaga stops looking like a tranny and starts looking like a really hot woman... I'm not sure how I should be feeling... But I'm sure that this isn't it...
  17. lold, twice.
  18. Thursday != Wednesday... So my criteria has been met. Just go for whatever day most of us are free
  19. Aaarrrrggg, any day but Wednesday!
  20. I get the feeling that they'd snub their noses at Fast and the Furious R33's rocking up, do most of us even fit into a category there?
  21. At the same time, some of them also throw out the "It'll be at least a few hundred" line to get rid of people who have no idea how the world works and expect 6+ hours of work on a car for $300, including materials... I find when making first contact, you have to go in knowing what you're talking about and don't react negatively to the first few questions, then their defensive "this guy is going to waste my time and cost my business money" goes away and the real conversation can start.
  22. "do. a. brakie"
  23. "GTR"
