See i don't think that speed kills. It's more of a advertising campaign aimed at the general populous. Most Muppet's can't handle a car, let alone a car at speed. There are a few out there that can control speed... but it's to hard to tell who!

So the cops/government just save themselves the time and money..... and just scare the entire population into worrying about speed. Easy :3some:

Also old people driving cars should have a "O" plate displayed!!! I give it 2-5 years, before scary old dudes in beige Camry's get "O" plates to protect the public.

I don't know which to be more scared of.... a Beige Camry with "O" plates or a "P" plater in a Fully sick VL :3some: (either way they should both be banned!)

I agree with the "O" plate idea... ...I work with quite a few people that still have their licenses that don't drive often enough to know if they are being a risk or not... ...The sad thing is I can't do anything about it due to privacy laws... ...I know one guy clearly has dementia (undiagnosed ATM but I work with enough people to know) and his wife still lets him go out for a drive because she just isn't strong enough physically and mentally to put up with his complaining if she doesn't let him go... ...If I drove a shit box like him I'd wait around the corner and then let him drive into me just to get him off the road...

I think license renewal should also come with driver testing if you've lost any demerits during the last period... ...Or at least Sight / Hearing / Reaction tests and a few random road rules just to make sure everyone still keeps up to date with the rules...

Another thing is... ...extend the period a vehicle can be registered for but make a Road Worthy Test part of the process for renewal... ...I'm sick of seeing shit boxes with faded tail lights blowing smoke into my A/C... ...And I get pulled over because a cop sees me back out of a park spot with only one reversing light... ...I'd just backed out of SuperCheap and was heading home to INSTALL IT!!!...

There are three types of drives I try and stay clear of... ...Those with glasses... ...Those with dints and scratches... ...and those with hats...

And if I happen to get a trifecta... ...I just pull over and turn the engine off...

And ask god why...

This guy did a driver training day with me a couple of years ago, we did a piece for the Herald Sun newspaper.

To be honest he wasn't that flash at driving, didn't really impress me very much, and like some club racers he thought he was a whole lot better than he actually was.

He wasn't real good at doing emergency stops in the wet at 65kmh, so he certainly wouldn't be very good at 170 !

      When I need something else to edit, I use Movavi. A friend who does video editing on a daily basis recommended me) it's an easy video cutter to use for beginners

      I think you're really missing the point. The spec is just the minimum spec that the fuel has to meet. The additive packages can, and do, go above that minimum if the fuel brand feels they need/want to. And so you get BP Ultimate or Shell Ultra (or whatever they call it) making promises to clean your engine better than the standard stuff....simply because they do actually put better additive packages in there. They do not waste special sauce on the plebian fuel if they can avoid it. I didn't say "energy density". I just said "density". That's right, the specific gravity (if you want to use a really shit old imperial description for mass per unit volume). The density being higher indicates a number of things, from reduces oxygen content, to increased numbers of double bonds or cyclic components. That then just happens to flow on to the calorific value on a volume basis being correspondingly higher. The calorific value on a mass basis barely changes, because almost all hydrocarbon materials have a very similar CV per kg. But whatever - the end result is that you do get a bit more energy per litre, which helps to offset some of the sting of the massive price bump over 91. I can go you one better than "I used to work at a fuel station". I had uni lecturers who worked at the Pt Stanvac refinery (at the time they were lecturing, as industry specialist lecturers) who were quite candid about the business. And granted, that was 30+ years ago, and you might note that I have stated above that I think the industry has since collected together near the bottom (quite like ISPs, when you think about it). Oh, did I mention that I am quite literally a combustion engineer? I'm designing (well, actually, trying to avoid designing and trying to make the junior engineer do it) a heavy fuel oil firing system for a cement plant in fricking Iraq, this week. Last week it was natural gas fired this-that. The week before it was LPG fired anode furnaces for a copper smelter (well, the burners for them, not the actual furnaces, which are just big dumb steel). I'm kinda all over fuels.

      RB25 Crankshaft Differences

      By LjB123 · Posted

      Well my freshly rebuilt RB25DET Neo went bang 1000kms in, completely fried big end bearing in cylinder 1 so bad my engine seized. No knocking or oil pressure issue prior to this happening, all happened within less than a second. Had Nitto oil pump, 8L baffled sump, head drain, oil restrictors, the lot put in to prevent me spinning a bearing like i did to need the rebuild. Mechanic that looked after the works has no idea what caused it. Reckoned it may have been bearing clearance wrong in cylinder 1 we have no idea. Machinist who did the work reckoned it was something on the mechanic. Anyway thats between them, i had no part in it, just paid the money Curiosity question, does the oil system on RB’s go sump > oil pump > filter > around engine? If so, if you had a leak on an oil filter relocation plate, say sump > oil pump > filter > LEAK > around engine would this cause a low oil pressure reading if the sensors was before the filter?   TIA
