Armed as in...assault rifles / proximity mines?

24/7 in Syria?

Put up a massive statue of David

A fair point...dem Chinese though...

That's a good move from the council though, put a stop to this medium-high density housing shit

But if you keep long enough, it'll be one of the bigger on the street once everyone has subdivided the shit out of the rest of it

Instead of a war on poverty, they got a war on shoes so Dezz and Ric can bother me etc.

Before we find world peace, we gotta find peace and end the war in VWL

No such thing as a safer suburb to park a Skyline in. They can and have been stolen from everywhere, including secure multi storey carparks in inner city suburbs. Your logic for Balwyn is backwards - car thieves cruise nice areas because more likely to find valuable cars and less trouble in quiet streets. Probably safer in a shit suburb. But yeah, it can happen anywhere. Insurance may not like it but you can leave your key in the ignition barrel so that anyone who breaks in at least doesn't smash the steering column and will quickly find out it has an immobiliser. Even better, get an alarm - most thieves will bugger off if they have to deal with both as opposed to one or the other.

Interest rate on the brightbling?

Second Simon for VP

That's another point^ Be interesting to know the pro-rata (if any) if you quit / don't make it to 4 years

As far as I can tell, they're docking you 20% of your pay for 4 years and then giving it all back to you in a 5th year you're not working...unless it puts you in a lower tax bracket it doesn't seem to leave you any better off financially than if you just worked 4 years at 100%. It's like superannuation; sounds like a good idea for FIFOs who can't save money? Only other advantage I can think of is that, unlike most jobs, you can take a year off / gap year for overseas trip / self actualisation journey and come straight back to it.

So aside from the tax benefit is there any other advantage and can we explain this to me?

Woah let's not get crazy...one tailed or two tailed?

My maths might be out of whack, but how does this create an advantage other than for people who don't know how to save money? Like can't you do 4 years at 100% and take a year off for the same result?

Beginning has to start somewhere

The demand for a clean 33 begins... http://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/461328-wtb-clean-r33-gtst-skyline

Yeah but you can have fun with a 250 in the corners...look at the dream boats doing crazy laptimes around PI with a 250...granted race bikes but still. They are nimble as fark.

Hence a lot of people don't get the appeal of an 86 until they drive one. It's a car you can thrash with little consequence that doesn't lose much speed in the corners, even on factory tyres.

The only thing that ever bothered me about Tao's power claims, without triggering a hub/wheel shitstorm, is that he found a happy dyno in Trent's hub dyno, which has allowed him to make such claims that no one else around the country could replicate at their own tuner...unless they went to Trent. No turbos produce that much power with that response on a 2.5. I believed the response was possible (though some argued about different ramp rates etc.), but the power figures for such responsive turbos had to be called into question. But customers are also dicks, having an exact power figure in mind that they want to achieve, because they like the sound of the number and have no measurable need for that much power, but are scared their dick will look small if they didn't get the omg300kw matched up to federal 595s that made them slower off the line than a stock Skyline. When I bought mine I didn't care too much about power numbers, just wanted a responsive turbo that has more grunt than the factory one and I got it; that's probably why I'm happy with mine. All these idiots bought G3 turbos that come on song at 4500rpm and make 300+, nek minut they were in the for sale section. Best advice I got was from some guy selling a high flow who had "upgraded" to a 3076 and said he wished he kept his high flow on there cause it was more fun than his current setup. Listened and here I am! Plus I drove Tao's car with 320rwkw and all it wanted to do was eat the curb at 4500-5000rpm...waste of power.

I may well be the only person happy with my HG lol
