Hey all

As you can see the barrel price is going going going DOWN. I suppose we will get the usual because of the crisis (what crisis) in the Middle East ....blah blah blah

Yeah. Love it!

News - "The price of crude oil has dropped $5"

Petrol Co.'s - "Yes, we can expect the price decrease in a few weeks for the lower prices trickle through the system"

News - "The price of crude oil has increased $5"

Petrol Co.'s - "Yes, you can expect the price of fuel to increase immediately due to the increase in the price of oil"

What can ya do?

Public transport is very poor, so we need to drive.

Turn to the Government?

Why, when;

a) the Government (regardless of which party) is partially funded by oil co.'s

b) the higher the price of fuel, the more money OUR government make

What a great system we have!

Kinda makes you want to see a real life "Fight Club" group take on the big boys, eh?

hmm, what would happen if everyone in Australia quit their jobs, went on the dole and stayed home?

I do find it interesting that the price of crude oil has dropped by 2/3's but petrol has only dropped around 40% from the $1.85 we copped.

      Thanks for your insight, it being basically useless will impact my decision for sure. I thought it may help the engine breath better I guess. But then again, I have also been told that tuning an RB20DE is also not worth it. Exactly, we follow EU Regulations. There is a bit more leeway on older vehicles. My Porsche 924 came without a cat from factory and managed to pass, they still mentioned that I have quite high emissions on it though.

      City of Casey - This is obscene!

      My apologies, I stand corrected. Thanks for registering to mention this! And thank you for actually reaching out to the council to clarify. This is the sensible thing to do and the opposite of what I was alluding you were doing. I may have seen too much outrage and hate being fueled on the internet and it has made me a somewhat cynical old man. Sometimes it is easy to forget that there are real people behind websites and accounts. In my defence, CarExpert and CarExplore do read quite similarly at a glance. I shall try and do better in the future. (Please stick around to get the latest scoops on dealing with old Nissan shitboxes )

      Don't bother. The poor little RB20 doesn't make enough gas flow to challenge the flow capabilities of even the littlest cat, and you won't make any extra power, and all you'll do it soot up your rear bumper. Plus....is Malta not runing under Euro regs?

      Hey Daniel, sorry to hear that and thanks for posting up for us at a really hard time I only knew SmoothLine through the forums, we never met as we are based in different states, but when he was most active on here he was quite a while back so not many of the current crowd might remember him. I am pretty sure he was active in the Queensland SQU club but that is defunct now too (times are changing and we are all getting older). Farewell SmoothLine!

      Turns out depending on whether the car was equipped with TCS or not there are different signals coming to the dash, meaning there are different speedo clusters.  Wired in a speedo calibrator box from aliexpress and now works fine.
