If anyone watched last night's news... basically any cars over 10 years old are declared belong to the junkyard.

This includes all:

Any Pre R32 Skylines (DR30, R31, etc)

R32 Skyline Gts-t, GTS, GTS4, GTR

R33 Skyline Gts-t, GTS, GTS4, GTR

R34 Skyline GTT & GTR 1999 models

The catch is if you wreck your piece of junk Skyline you get $3000 incentive to update it with a newer car...

The aim is to reduce the number of gas guzzling old cars on our road.

I think it's a good idea......

PS: I'm just stirring up some shit...

good idea i own a 1971 ford gtho phase 111 id love to crush it and get $3000 towards a new car.

wow the government are so awsome and smart lol. ( my whole statement is sarcastic).

honestly its the stupidest thing i have ever heard, you cant get rid of all the classic cars out there.

also $3000 isnt going to help much for a new car either, unless i have a real bomb that doesn't run then i could get the money and buy another bomb that does drive. :P

edit: my car is still safe for one more year lol.

the car only gets crushed if the owner wants it too.. classic and desirable cars are still safe, as long as they arent owned by retards.

I think its a pretty good idea. except every flamin mongrel selling a shit box will want 3k for it now

So potentially anyone can go into a used car yard, get 10 shitboxes worth $700 each, even if he had to register them for $500 a car, at $1200 he will make $1800 each x 10 shitboxes = $18,000 when he surrendered them to government to be squashed...

what an awesome idea...

first the $900 K-Rudd package (anyone got them yet?)

now the $3k stimulus to help save the auto industry sell their overstocked new cars...

What next???

a $50,000 tax-free job-stimulus for anyone willing to be a good Samaritan and give up / quit their job so the company can hire one of hundreds of jobless out there who are still jobless?

I wish I was paid to think of amazing ideas like this! I would be rolling in it! :P

I would like to know why the term "gas guzzling old cars" was used. I mean by all means remove old, unroadworthy cars off the street, but I'll eat all my items of clothing when a 10 year old Corolla "guzzles more gas" than something along the lines of a brand new Commodore SS.

pretty sure they'd have something in place so people cant just sell heaps of old cars and make money, but it will also stop people buying old shit boxes, as if your going to pay 3k for something worth 1k, i think they have something along the same lines in japan <-- could be wrong on that one

      For the record, I hate the colour. Even if I'll never see it again, I know its in there.

      This is another issue I'm fixing. This little valve stops all the oil from draining to the sump when the engine is turned off. What happens eventually is that the engine is a little noisy and has the oil pressure light on for a few seconds after turning it on. Basically it takes a few seconds to build the pressure when all the oil has drained. This valve is a non serviceable part and is attached to the oil filter housing, BMW suggests to replace the entire housing if this valve fails.  As it turns out this valve can be removed and that means you can get an aftermarket replacement, which I did. The failure, for me at least is that the valve doesn't seat properly after a while, which I've demonstrated. The new one is a ball end and always seats properly.

      Using Trickle Chargers

      Welp don't know if this is good but I can hear a sizzling sound in my battery Hope I didn't fry it. Turns out a bad battery in the multi meter will give a false reading (likely what happened when I said I had 15x volts), swapped the battery and monitoring now. I'm hoping that sizzling sound is just the equlisation charging

      Yeah I'm happy to talk to whoever, I don't want to take ownership or even manage it if they don't want but I can probably help with hosting on the sau setup. It's a great resource and should be protected.

      So, got some bits..   New oil filter housing gasket (main problem I'm trying to fix -see leak above)  While you're in there's: New belts, pulley and tensioners.  Vanos oil line New oil drain valve New water pump and pulley  New fumoto valve (all my cars have these). Some of this stuff seems ok now that I've pulled it out but I still have no idea how old it all is.  The belts looked fine and then I noticed this. Like somebody has hooked it with a pick.
