Helllllllllooooooooo I'm still here, just got the suspension changed in my 34 today actually. So I'll be spending a little more time driving it around now. I have some sad news though, I'm moving

Blew the cobwebs out of @Sinista32 last Sunday for a few hours. It's great to get the passion back every so often

No you just tried to give him a run. Stop telling us how you are driving like a dickhead.

hahaha fair enough :P

Just break them down into relevant bits - the Y will almost always be meaningless since it's compulsory for standard plates; the following 5 characters might form a word (very, very obscurely in most cases lol), if they don't then consider them to be an abbreviation of a word or perhaps an acronym. Look at the numbers - have they any relevance? In this case, yes - it's an R33. Back to the letters now the numbers can be ignored: YGT-33S....GTS is almost GTS-T lol.

THIS SHIT SHOULD BE A SCIENCE OR AT LEAST A SUBJECT YOU CAN STUDY IN SCHOOL, like all those pointless arts subjects lol

Spotted who I believe to be DJBarnstar turning off the Monaro into Fyshwick earlier. I was behind on the bike.

Also spotted myself being uhh...yeah pulled over for speeding. Yeah yeah yeah, no excuses....though in my defence it was right as the limit went from 90 > 60 and I was paying much more attention to the numpties in front of me :(

Yes I still have my license lol

Silly me....dunno how to feel given I wasn't intentionally exceeding the limit lol. Obviously I'm in the wrong though >.<

Yeah, it is a bloody stupid law. There should be a competency test you can take after say 3 months of riding that removes restrictions on your license, given I've seen some fully licensed riders who don't have a clue what they're doing, as well as the fact you touched on that you can write yourself off on a gutless postie bike.

I'm just pissed coz of the circumstances I was exceeding the limit - the f**king clowns in front of me dead set had no f**king idea what they were doing. I gave it a blat to overtake them (thinking it was still 90kph) the moment I got a chance, for my own safety. Alas, this was my undoing lol

Mine will read YMY-70Y

Been on my last two cars and briefly on the wife's car lol

I have to behave driving, my points are low and as I drive a truck interstate for my job I really can't afford to loose it

However someone called my boss and complained about my driving :/ my boss wasn't concerned at all luckily...

      I am currently going this route. I am curious how much horse power you put behind the cut bell housing? Collins was telling me I am going to crack it and bluh bluh bluh. Because I didn’t buy the custom fly wheel from him. I am looking for somewhere around like 500 hp

      Thanks @PranK for the updated member status, much appreciated! 👍🏼 Now, about those pics… Unfortunately I could only find ones that I took in the dark. I was soon to discover that underneath it wasn’t in the best shape, but it was mine and that’s all I cared about at the time 😆

      A little PU bush story

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      Oh, and only having done this task yesterday, I've now driven the car ~60km since, and while it is hard to avoid placebo effect and confirmation bias, I reckon that some annoyances I had with the way the car has been behaving have improved. Which....kinda makes sense, I guess. If the bushes were really stiff and resisting rotation, they would have been contributing to the effective wheel rate. And if it was more so on one side (which it was, because one side was worse than the other) then.... you might imagine that the additional rate would be asymmetric, and potentially even different between compression and rebound. And so... the car has been twitchy at higher speeds - like freeway on ramps. It really shouldn't be. The wheel alignment is good and there are no (other) known problems elsewhere in the suspension. But at 90-100 on a long sweeping ramp, tiny steering wheel motions would make it feel like it wanted to rear steer. Quite nervous. At lower speeds it would heave about in a manner that it didn't use to. Didn't want to put power down, etc etc. Now...seems to behave better. Am going to have to concentrate on the various corners where it has exhibited weirdness, on the rare occasions when I can get a decent run at them without Methanial getting in the way in his D-Max/Ranger/LDV Van/etc.
