from sleeping wrong.

i reckon its just muscle imbalance or something. but you're right, i should start working out.

Do you sleep on your back or side?

How do you sleep wrong? Or maybe a bad bed?

speaking of illegal activity... yesterday's car meet at carribean gardens: so many p-players driving turbo cars. turbo civic, stock 2JZ supra, A45 AMG, VW R36.

not sure if borrowing parents cars or just not giving 2 ducks

Column A and Column B.

Was the A45 red with ricey black features? Looking more like a Civic Type R?

R36 isn't turbo, but not sure if P player friendly. Think it might be just over the limit. Certainly faster than a lot of not P plater friendly cars.

This is not correct anymore..

You can drive it for 90 days a year, as long as you have a logbook

Which pretty much means you fill out the logbook before you go, except the date field.

Get pulled over? Write date down quickly, and then you're good to go.

Mate with Club reg BMW has actually been asked exactly 0 times for his logbook the 4-5 times that's been pulled over/through a booze bus etc.

You'd be quite lucky to work 90 days a year and still get paid for the full year.

A45 was white, no mods. 2 guys got out looking particularly wanky.

on that note: didnt see any 34GTRs and thought that was odd. nek minnit 3 rock up. must have slept in after a long night doing prinny runs since one had unburnt fuel covering half of the rear end of the car. must have recently bought it :P

What's the retail on an A45?

Very slight chance he may have acquired it himself on the basis he worked full time straight after highschool and is towards the end of his P Plates.

What sort of income levels does Mercedes require before you can finance one? inb4Aaron

Other 99% chance is via parents

That's my guess

Or.... you'd be unlucky to get your logbook checked 91 times a year...

Or you might get a cop who just complies with the rules and takes off your club reg when he sees your a dodgey that doesn't fill it out :P

$74990 plus on roads I think

I'm not sure of the credit side lol I only deal with them when they fail

They aren't that hard to acquire though. Going by the amount of young people getting around in Euro/luxury cars lately

Well he would only need to check once on the day you don't fill it out.

Did you buy wheels yet?

Say the finance is 4 years

Plus say interest of 10% would bring total to $105,000

Thats repayments of $2,188 a month or $547 a week. That's still alot of cash for a teen in addition to what they already spend

I am a human calculator

I know this guy in Hallam who drives all these exy Mercedes

prob on the 2% rate for 24 or 36 months. big deposit and then sell back for a loss.

I'm surprised so many people I know get suckered into cheap car finance.

And I ask them, if car company is making a loss at by financing at below the RBA interest rate, where do you think they will make their money back from?

Maybe I should have remained single, stayed with my parents and financed a Gallardo....

    • Yeah most people that have heard it said it was fine but it's always had me slightly worried. Oil pressure I can't remember off the top of my head but it has plenty, I run 10w60 You're probably right mate, best get ordering some shims! Guessing Nissan is the best place for them?
    • Just wanna preface this and point out I'm a mechanical fitter by trade but have had very little rebuild/machining experience, but I am keen to learn, hence this project. Bit of a write up here so bear with me, just want to make sure I do this right  I've got an rb30e currently pulled down. Planning on putting a 25 head on it and running it in my s14.  Not chasing huge power so I'm just going to try get away with factory bottom end for now.  Started measuring the crank the other day, realised my budget daytona micrometer set wasn't up to the task (surprise, I know). They only measure to 0.01mm but the Nissan specs are to 0.001mm. Anyway, I started measuring anyway and came away with the mains being inline with the oem spec, as well as the big ends, except for no. 5. I consistently got a measurement of a hair over 49.96mm, where all the others were pretty spot on 49.97mm. The lower spec for grade no.1 is 49.961mm. I'm getting access to some better gear my next days off to double check everything, but in the case that the big end is right on that bottom spec, is it pretty much just a case of straight to the machine shop for machining and oversized bearings? I understand I need to measure the tunnel as well to work out my oil clearance, but it's the different grade bearings in the manual that are confusing me. What is generally the process when one journal would still technically be in spec, but in a different grade?  Thanks for coming to my Ted talk
    • You need to visit Ipswich. Plenty of clapped out R32 and R33s running around here as daily drivers. And when I say clapped out, they're how you'd look at a VN, when it's the year 2010...
    • So I checked this out in the weekend.. and look at this. I remember watching the videos. Finally got to see it in person! BRB. Tissues. Got tonnes of other pics and videos too.      IMG_0171.mov IMG_0113.mov
    • For anyone who might be put off by the slightly wacky wheel offset shown on the box photo above, the production models are not like that. Here's some more pics of the actual product (as well as the interior)
