I have heard rumours of fuel prices are expected to raise and extra $1 to 1.50 in the next few weeks due to the fact oil per the barrel is going up about 20 or so bucks a barrel...

heard this on news and a dude on another forum mentioned also heard from an attendant at BP

like owning a skyline wasnt expensive enough :)

we will be driving hybrids by then probably....like the prius....probably would need to turn to the computer stores to get the best sound card and install subwoofers and huge speakers to get the same revving sounds like we do from a stock exhaust

fuel prices never bothered me, aslong as i was enjoying driving my car. but now that i have too many expenses and i'm trying to cut down on driving, i feel the pain!

meh. i have a company work ute a fuel card. just keep taking a jerry with me. considering i full up at least once a day they won't notice 10 litres every now and again.

i know a bloke who works on oil rigs. all he does is tap into and cap new oil wells. usually does 1-2 a year. there is heaps of oil. just cheaper getting it out of existing oil fields is currently cheaper, so until they are running empty then they won't bother.

will be intresting if a few major oil users (like the usa) stop depending on foriegn oil. the international prices would start dropping due to less demand. although with the way china and other developing countries are going they will want it all. plus the damn servo's will still probably charge the same amount

      Honestly, for a daily I would gladly rock a Camry. The more disposable the better. People drive horribly out here and road conditions are awful.

      Shifting questions

      By joshuaho96 · Posted

      Verify it's going into each of the 4 gears in normal acceleration, make sure the torque converter locks up over ~65-70 kph or so at low throttle opening. If you ease into the throttle at those speeds eventually you should get a "gear" between 3rd unlocked and 4th locked. It should downshift eventually if you floor it at 65 kph too. Get some Matic D ATF and drain the pan, check for signs of sadness in fluid and drain plug magnet. Top off to the correct level afterwards. If the transmission is worth saving you can drop the pan on a second drain and change the filter while you're at it. These are not complicated transmissions, at least compared to modern stuff.

      Comfortable replacement seats for R32 GTR

      A seat I find stupidly comfortable to sit in is the one in a friend's Merc Race Car. It even has the huge wings that wrap around your head. Best ever. Only issue is climbing through his scaffolding he put up in the doorway of the car... Ha ha ha. I sat in that seat for a couple of hours doing wiring. Another stupid comfortable seat I find, especially if my back is aching, is my OMP fixed back bucket seat too. I'll just sit on it when I'm exhausted in the garage sometimes to relax!

      I just got off the phone with Dean from Vosta in Brisbane. They are the ones that do the replica seats and they have a shop full of seats for my to try out. Lovely guy.  I haven't decided whether to go genuine or replicas, I'm leaning towards Genuine at this point but who knows.  Also thinking the STRADIAs are the way to go VS the GIAS since they have a lower hip edge and would be easier to get into. Don't really like the idea of arm rests on the models to the right of this diagram either, maybe they can be removed?
