On the other hand, it was liberal who sold off large chunks of government assets (*caugh Telstra). Both sides are morons, the average drugged out gambler could manage the countries money better, and certainly wouldn't cow-tow to the rich plutocracy.

Semi back on topic, last night as I was leaving shopping carpark and driving along access road, I turned into the other lane to avoid speed hump (not a nice one, they are the ones that still go THUMP even at 1kmh), then turning back into my lane I just happened to be passing 2 guys who looked around when I put the juice on before going into the other lane, and then as I was just finished going back into the proper lane one of them sortof jumped out and tried to punch the car or something.

I don't know if he thought I was trying to run them over or something (they were on the road, not the pavement next to it...) but man .. would certainly not have felt safe stopping.

Hooray! Someone gets it.

I hope the great unwashed enjoy their plasma TV's as much as their Bali holidays. You're gonna pay dearly for them.

lol- because im sure he would of come out on top if he landed the bunch. Bogan fist vs nissan steel, i know who i would have my money on.

In all seriousness though, people think you are a hoon when you have an import, or p plates. I used to get that sort of reaction all the time when i was younger and had p plates on. I even had one kunt chase me through a car park (leaving his probably 4 year old daughter in a trolley some 100 meters behind by her self) acting like i nearly ran him over on a pedestrian x. The kunt was like 5 meters away behind an entrance post when i went through, nowhere near the crossing. Thing was he was a massive prick, and at the time i was puny. Im assuming it was all because i had p plates, and he was some sort of nutjob or druggie... I even watched some random woman in my review mirror have to grab the dickheads trolley which contained his daughter before it rolled onto the road, yet im assuming he acted like that because i 'nearly hurt his daughter. I cant really explain how pathetic and uncalled it was, but i know what would of happened if he got me haha.

Thing is, with the caliber of the youth today, blokes like him would get belted with weapons in a group or stabbed, whether it was in front of his daughter or not, same could be said for the bogan that swung at your car.. one day an equally as bogan shithead will jump out, if not much worse.

Yea I was thinking I should have stopped the car and got out with crowbar... being a pretty huge guy I'm sure I'd have given them the shits XD Anyway, don't really want to escalate the conflict and risk the GTR getting damaged >_>

Back on the gun topic.

I've grown up in the country (Regional NSW) and have a few friends who NEED guns as part of their occupation. A couple are roo shooters, a few farmers and a livestock trader.

The only one who owns a pistol is the livestock trader, simply because he sometimes has to go to remote areas to buy a prize bull with lots of cash on him. Some of these places don't have telephone lines, coverage or even sealed roads, so the chance of getting in trouble is always there, so he carries "Harry the hand cannon" a big .357 magnum, both for self defense and to kill a charging bull should the need arise.

I moved to Melbourne some time ago, and with a wife who is quite slight and will never be able to fight off a determined attacker (I defy anyone to show me a woman her size who could. I'm all for equality, but a 55kg woman can simply not go toe-to-toe with a 90kg man. End of story) so I was investigaing getting a pistol for home protection.

To a man, they all said I'd have to be an idiot to do so.

For a start, in Vic, the laws are exceedingly strict, and you need to be shooting at a range every four months at least to keep your license.

secondly, you need to store the ammo and the weapon in separate, locked boxes.

One of the roo shooters went through it with me like this:

"OK, so it's late at night, someone is in your house and you think they may plan on attacking you. The truth is, they probably just want your stuff. Call the cops and lock your door. Let's assume though, that for some reason they want you and Cassie (my wife) dead/raped/dead and raped. They come towards the bedroom. Assuming that you've had time to get the gun out of the safe and put ammo into it, you now have a weapon and some evil bastards coming down the hall.

They open the door and you shoot. Who is to say it's not just your brother trying to surprise you, or your elderly neighbour wandering around the house in an alzheimers induced state? But hey, let's assume it is a bad guy. You've shot him, while in a confined environment with little light and no hearing or eye protection.

You are now blinded by the muzzle flash and deafened by the shot.

So, you have to hope now. Hope that you hit him fatally, that he doesn't have a mate behind him who saw you shoot, and that there were no ricochets bouncing off the brickwork.

Because IF he has a mate, you're dead. If your bullet is pinging off the bricks, your wife may be hit, if you hit the robber in a non-vital area, he'll shoot you himself. Simply put, you're cactus."

My Father-in-law is a qualified armourer, he makes customer target rifles as well as barrels and balancing tuning for specialist shooters in the police force. He is of the same opinion, that a gun is a tool for the real world, and has no place in a home. He is also a little mad because he has on occasion mentioned that the only gun I should have in my house is his, when he is coming to get me. He's a quiet, little man and I am occasionally a bit too intimidated to make many jokes about the fact I'm banging his daughter.

So, while I've shot many varieties of guns, I'm yet to get one for "Home protection".

Though I do have a license to store hand forged swords and historical weaponry, so it's not as though I'm completely helpless there.

      I'll just leave this quick tip here after reading your joys of getting the car in the air. It should take no more then 10 minutes to get the car safely up on stands.  So for the front, jack on the tow recovery points (marked in red). Put the jack stands under the lower control arm mounting point (marked in yellow). This photo is of a R34 GTR, however the process is the same. For the rear, jack under the diff (marked in red). Put the jack stands under the rear subframe or where the lower control arm mounting point (marked in yellow). Which point you use will depend on your stand, pick a nice stable point.  You've probably already read this but it's worth repeating. When jacking up the car or using stands, stay away from the chassis rails/pinch welds. Even the factory jack point, stay away from that too unless using a factory jack. I used those jack points for years without issue until I turned into an old man and bought a QuickJack lol.

      And this is where the leak is happening: https://www.dropbox.com/scl/fi/7h1vlmg2j5aa7rksvsjc9/IMG_9982.jpeg?rlkey=d3bnpau5f615zmxqmca0llvr7&st=kquvdxvs&dl=0   Apologies but it seems adding an image from a link does not work when the images are in Dropbox.

      Hi all, From the western suburbs here. Just got my 2000 R34 GTT registered today! Got it imported from Japan through a mate who is doing them and managed to find a decent one. This one has only done 110,000 Km and had no body rust etc. so was very happy. I used to own a 25Gt back in 2015 (ate Ramen noodles for years to save up for it), but unfortunately, it got stolen TEN DAYS after I bought it!! Came back from Uni and the car was missing - cops found it in Springvale a month later with a lot of needles  😒 It was too late by then and I had moved on to a different car (300ZX), and after that one got broken into around 2018, I was in a very bad place and decided I would never buy a car again because it was just pointless!!! ~yeah, I have some very bad mojo~ 🥺 But now, with a stable job and a secure garage, I thought I'd get the R34 4D again but not as a daily! I love the R34s but a GTR is still a bit off my pay grade so settled for the GTT instead.    The first step for me is to get this car serviced and have all fluids, belts and spark plugs changed. I might do the brakes at one point too but atm they are fine, the fluids are what I want changed since this car probably sat in a garage for a long time. I'll then get some coilovers since the suspension needs to be changed anyway (the dust cover kit is disintegrating). I'll also upgrade my car alarm to a Viper system and then look at rims and tyres (I'm a sucker for TE37s - might have enough saved in another 3 years for that).   Today: I was planning to do the oil, coolant, air filter and fuel filter change this week. Started on the oil change today and MY GOD what a pain!! I used to think the 300ZX engine bay was cramped - oh I was so wrong! 😂 I've done the usual services on my cars before so it was not like I was going in blind. I looked up all the forum details about what oils to use, what coolant to use, what points to use to jack the car or place stands etc but I did not expect it to be this hard. Long story short - all I managed to do was the oil and filter change. I think I might end up taking it to a mechanic for a coolant change because my SCA stands and trolley jack just can't get far enough underneath to the cross-member and I don't want to be crushed under my favourite car....yet. Side note: In Dandenong, there used to be a shop that lets you hire their hoists - does anyone know if they have those around? I can't seem to find the Dandenong place anymore. I contacted them off FB almost 6 years ago and I'm not in it now. If anyone know of one, that would save me some time going to a mechanic for the basic services. Oil: Dark and gooey but no metal pieces. Oil Filter: Was a b***h to take off but no red flags Air filter: Yucky! Was black (Smells like fuel which makes me think it may have been running rich? - am I way off?)   Concerns: I have but one concern atm and that is that there was a very small amount of oil leaking where the engine and the transmission connect (Automatic). It may be the rear seal? It's not a massive leak and it does not affect the oil pressures or leak oil all along the driveway. It's been falling into the cover this whole time. I've taken the cover off so I can check the garage floor from time to time.  I also have not seen my engine temperature gauge ever sit at cold and slowly move up to the right spot, but that might be because every time I saw the car today, it was running. I'll check that again tomorrow. ATM it just sits right in the middle. I may just be paranoid but I don't want an overheating engine while my gauges say everything is fine. 🙈 Other than that, I'm very happy with the car! Feels like it's about time I went back to spending my weekends driving or cutting my arm on stupid sh*t in the engine bay.   PS: I will post a pic later on because I underestimated soooo badly today and it was dark by the time I finished! PPS: I broke the two damn plastic pins that hold the intake funnel section to the front bar. This is the piece made to bring cold air to the airbox. The connection to the airbox is fone, but the two clips just broke off! Should I be worried? Anyone else done that?
