  1. lol taxis have their own set of road rules
  2. Haha feck. I'm happy to change things as long as they can pass for looking somewhat factory. Black piping etc. Granted they've been pretty good the last few years of ownership - now that Skylines are getting less common on the road - but police attention in Melbourne is still a problem! After response more than power though. Don't want to do gearboxes and would just like to do something different given everyone seems to chase 11ty kw with GTRs. I want something that pulls pleasantly from say2500rpm
  3. How hard would it be to custom setup a couple of G25s in twin configuration? V band outlet is a bit of a barrier? Currently building a 26/30 for response and a stockish engine bay appearance is a must, hence reluctance to do anything single turbo and I had -9s on it before the 30 conversion. But this range is exciting me and I might be happy to guinea pig the potential of the smaller ones / find out where they choke out on my 30 if we can make them fit. Could we see ~1000hp on E85 from some tiny turbos?
  4. Amsterdam more than makes up for it with idiotic/arrogant cyclists who will crash into you just to prove a point, i.e. that they have right of way.
  5. A huge problem I've maintained for years is that we don't do licence retesting and road rules aren't reinforced in people after they've been tested. Love to see some television ads or billboards promoting individual rules and practices like HOW TO ZIP MERGE, just to remind people who've forgotten or were never taught. That and international drivers licences are a ridiculous concept. My god, I had a woman tear through a roundabout the other day without using her indicator so I nearly launched into her, then she shrugs her shoulder and points to her indicator shaking her head trying to say sorry it's not working - then fix it or stay off the road f**khead, or at least drive slow enough that people can see your intentions!
  6. Melbourne is the city of people who don't acknowledge at all when you go out of your way to let them in Most entitled drivers in the country
  7. Yeah it sounds like the woman in four wheel drive thought she got hit from behind rather than her hitting a curb...likely because she was distracted on the phone to her husband at the time.
  8. Someone explain to me how that scam is supposed to work? You conveniently get a phone photo of a car that hit you with no damage to it?
  9. If it were guaranteed everyone would jump on IPOs. I've seen some terrible floats!
  10. Lots of companies do that though, and go the other way. 20/20 hindsight is an easy game to play.
  11. Why?
  12. $75 gets you five dozen at Krispy Kreme You know what to do
  13. Jet skis turn on a dime, especially the stand up stunt ones. Scarabs are where it's at for offshore speed boats
  14. I'm familiar with the relative size of modern jet skis They are boats compared to their 90s counterparts, which you used to get thrown off so much more easily at lower speeds Stability and top speed have come a long way
  15. With what they're paid these days he could have that polished in 6-7 years too
  16. Seeing Harsh on a weekly basis at work is surreal and disturbing
  17. My accountant ruins everything Doing the full 12 months with this lot, need some CGT discount
  18. 2.5 Keep climbing sexy bitch Glad I topped up at 1.8! Already 35% on those? History repeats...
  19. That's awful mate. Anywhere anytime unfortunately. Hard to remember to live each day as last, but pertinent...
  20. I once met someone whose car got stolen and they purchased insurance after this event...then made a claim two weeks later that their car was stolen. Insurance m searched phone records and everything because of the short period between buying insurance and making claim, but couldn't prove anything and he'd obviously not filed a police report at the time it was actually stolen. So yeah, plenty of insurance fraud goes on...and we ultimately pay for it.
  21. 88E gathering more momentum...London sitting on 2.4 cents equivalent Didn't see this coming...wonder what's spurring it on
  22. Tell us what it is so I can buy in and f**k up your luck for once
  23. What disturbs me about Bitcoin is how fast it's growing and how easily it could crash, all being hedged on future adoption It seems to benefit a great deal from original and the best / household name syndrome like Google But also seems to be the worlds biggest upramp Good luck picking when to get off that train
  24. Also not impossible to have a splitfire shit itself You say it sounds like it's not running on all 6 - pull coilpacks and see if you can isolate which cylinder isn't happy, as that will narrow things down to a specific injector/coil/plug rather than overall engine air/fuel delivery issue
  25. Air and fuel, air and fuel Check leaks as above And possibly injectors not seated/connected properly or leaking/fked AFM plug all good? Stock ECU may not be happy with that regulator if it's upped the fuel pressure
