It's really not about making the most power, it's more about socialising with a group of like minded enthusiasts, discussing mods and their effects, and then getting the thirst for spending buckets more cash on your car! Also, dyno days are generally the cheapest dyno run you will get, so it can serve as a good base line to gauge your improvements with future mods.

Road trip to Heathcote anyone?

Count me in then mate, I'll deposit some cash in your account.

Batty is back for good? Do tell. Gimme a dial mate.

Was the offence DUI or PCA? PCA is when you blow over the limit, this IS NOT the same as DUI. http://www.lawhandbook.sa.gov.au/index_article.asp?id=3245

I'm interested in supporting this dyno day, as with others in the past. As this is a skyline board obviously I'll be happy to step aside if there are more skylines that need spots. Dyno day is about the only chance my car has to get WOT at the moment.

I'm getting very close to planning a road trip.

Spotted - Saturday night, corner of Portrush and Magill Roads, by the BP, turning right from Portrush into Magill. White 33 with ET sticker over exhaust. There was a guy in a Statesman with a video camera behind him, and the guy in the 33 did the full sideways big blackies/smoke/nearly hit the gutter job. Looked great, but just another example of why some of you might get attention you don't want when driving normally.

Joel, BEWARE the graduate loan. I have one of these for the home my wife and I are constructing at present. They are great loans, but make sure you read everything. Due to the structure of their repayments being indexed at 3%pa, and your minimum repayment not varying with interest rate, if you pay the minimum with this loan you CAN (not will but it is possible) be in a situation where your minimum payment does not meet your interest accrued for the month - you actually owe more than you did at the beginning of the month. This of course is not an issue if you are on top of these things, aware of the interest charges and are paying more than the minimum. As always, Andrew's advice is based on sound analysis of fact.

Sounds like a goer if the price is right mate. Fun plus. Sleeper!

Have you got/sourced a blow through carby?

No, the Skyline is not a cheap restaurant, but the food is top notch. Great place to take your Mrs for a special dinner if any of you are that way inclined.

Yazmyn, Best wishes for a recovery from both your physical and emotional injuries. An event such as this will always have a very large impact on a persons life, and it is the way we deal with these things that defines us as people.

Yep, I drive one.

As far as defects for exhaust noise being done without at dB meter, it really is easy guys. If they suspect it's too loud, then it is - the legal limit for exhaust noise is VERY quiet. I have heard of factory HSV systems not passing the test, or being VERY close to the limit, and they are worlds away from even the quietest aftermarket systems. Deluxe, I posted some links in another thread to impounding offences information, and stereo too loud is definitely on the list!

sux to have bux!

I reckon it's fugly, looks too much like a Daewoo! The R34 is still my pick by a long shot over that.

Confused a little. Once it is defected, your driveway is fine. You can't park it on the road after it's defected, same as if it's not registered.

Total crap and a common misconception. If a car is registered it must be roadworthy. Full stop. Car park, street, car yard, your own driveway, anywhere - it can be defected. A defect is only a suspicion of non compliance, you have to prove something DOES comply, not the other way around.

Me either, I'd rather mine made no noise at all to be honest. Ford or Holden V8s sound a lot better to my ear.

Legally I believe you can't film anyone without their consent, or in the case of a business at least signage/notification that you may be filmed.

(b) The wheels and tyres must not foul the body, suspension or any part of the vehicle under any operating conditions and must not project beyond the bodywork, when the wheels are in the straight ahead position and viewed from above. Sorry Leo, no dice mate.

Relevant info highlighted in bold. 50mm for wheel changes 15 mm for wheel and tyre changes and BOTH have to match.

Great news Drew. I feared brain injury, and I'm pleased to hear you appear to have made a full recovery, or be well on the way to doing so.
