Yeah, problem with blame is, whoever gets the finger pointing in the end, that guy is still dead. People don't realise how life affecting their decisions on the road can be, don't think they ever will until something bad happens to them. It's like the road is a theme park ride and the worst that can happen is a bump from a dodgem car.

On the topic of blame, we commonly drive through green lights at intersections / walk across pedestrian crossings without looking to make sure the cars intersecting have stopped, simply because we know we have right of way and depend on this way too much. Meanwhile, some tool running a red light could kill you and being in the right won't save your life. Sort of similar to the advice that girls shouldn't dress too provocatively to discourage being sexually attacked...you have every right to dress how you want, but you also have every right to walk into a lion's den carrying 2kg of rump steak...doesn't mean it's a good idea. Which is why you should never let your guard down when riding a bike - everyone is out to kill you.

Should re-test everyone of all ages, I bet most of them would fail.

/jaded

lol i'd happily do the test every 6 months if i know everyone else has to do it too.

oh well shit happens and will continue to happen no matter what.

lions den isn't so bad, try a pack of lebs with a fresh optus recharge card...

Nick tis a pretty awesome game.. finished it last night lol (well the first playthrough) now i think its the same thing but just harder mobs / better items

/nerd mode off now.

Yeah its good, you must have nerded it hardcore to finish already :P

the TE37 reps.

nah wasnt happy with the 8.5 inch meisters lol.

im waiting on 9.5 + 12 and 10.5 +22 in 18".

The GTX3071R will be going on soon and I would like some sort of traction

Same, I started a thread about licence retesting here in the Vic section and most people voted for retesting. I agree, things won't change no matter what ads they put on or laws they implement. It's all just luck.

lol @ recharge card.

Walking back from the beach today to see my passenger window smashed. Funny thing. Only a friends bag that had clothes. Left my ipad, gps, wallet with few hundred, macbook pro and a pair of fairly expensive headphones. GOOD f**kING JOB DUMB dream boats.

Now... Anyone know where I can get my EK's passenger window replaced cheap? I'm so fkn poor right now.

    • GTSBoy on your suggestion on another thread I had a look at those injectors and ended up getting them because of the quality.  Got the expensive ones.  
    • Hey guys been looking everywhere to try and find the correct gtr hood latch support part number but only found the first half and when I search with that number it sends me to an r34. The first part I found was 62515. If anyone could help me with the rest then I’d really appreciate it. Or if there’s some alternative hood latch support that would work even better cause I can’t find any for sale. (Searched on upgarage, partsouq,buyee,rhdjapan) 
    • If you've only done the upper control arms on the rear, AND you have changed their length (by more than about 1mm) to set the camber you want, then you will definitely need/want to install traction arms also. Adjusting the camber arms on their own WILL introduce bump steer and make the car unpleasant to drive. Most owners have no idea that their car could behave infinitely better than what they put up with. I'm not entirely sure what the Stageas need, but I am thinking that unless you have massive front spring rates and pretty soft rear springs, you have waaaay too much rear bar. Oversteer city, in my estimation. Combined with possible excessive bump steer from maladjusted arms, that could be a recipe for nastiness. ATR43SS2 is not a highflow. It is an outright replacement turbo. It's a little bit bigger than the largest highflow profile that Tao does. Probably a solid 300rwkW turbo where the bigger highflows will be about 30-40rwkW less. Nevertheless, we're only talking about ~300 rwkW, which is well within the abilities of the stock ECu to run with a Nistune on board. I would do so without hesitation - and I will be doing so when I get my finger out and actually get the injectors and AFM installed. But, if you would prefer to drop a whole lot more money on the ECU side, then I suspect you're looking at Haltech. The Haltech fanbois here will all spout on about all the available engine protection you can have, that you can't have with the Nistune option. And they're right. But it doesn't really come for free either. You will spend more money on extra sensors and the like, plus the work to install them. If the engine was built and therefore represented a big investment to protect, then I'd say definitely do it. If you view the current (and forever into the future) shortage of replacement engines as something to prompt similar protection, then also, do it. If you see a destroyed RB25 as an opportunity to put in a Mercedes or other V12 (like I kinda do)... then your perception of the risk/reward might differ. These are good injectors. You can also get a "better" set of the same with more flow matching, for more $$. 1000cc is where you will want to be. You will need an R35 AFM and adapter tube if you want to stay with Nistuned stock ECU. Otherwise, if going Haltech, you can ignore. As for intercooler. Just about anything will do. You're only talking about ~300rwkW. Just put a big core in there. Be aware that return flows do add significant pressure drop and will cost power and will make the turbo work harder to achieve the same goals. If you can manage a proper crossflow, do it. I'm keeping my very good return flow because I'm only expecting to be in the ~250rwkW range, and will live with whatever outcome I get.
    • I have a heap that i have collected if you want some authentic ones still. Pm me if your interested!
