Anyone work in the CBD? Thankfully I'm across the bridge in North Sydney but still a bit too close for comfort in any aspect.

I'm in the CBD. As are Matt, Aggro and Lizbert.

Time will tell if the level of activity is appropriate or not. In cases like these, I think there is no clear appropriate response level while the event is unfolding.

Personally, I just can wait to go home.

What was this piece of dirt doing outta Jail?!

In fact why was he even in an Australian Jail?

If he's not an Australian citizen he shoulda been deported!

Legal system in this country really needs a shake up. The judge who released this germ back into society has alot to answer for!

Not only that but people harp on about refugees etc coming to this country (or boat people), yes some are genuine, but some do not want a "fresh start", they want to expand their hatred for the west.

This guy came to Aus as a refugee in 1996. I'm not really sure what more proof the hippy left wing human rights phags need in order to understand our tough border protection system.

I agree 100% with you Steve.

I dont understand why the government is so set in filling this country up with migrants? As far as im concerned we're full! Australia is for Australians how bout saving a spot for my young bloke and his family when the time comes?

Legally migrating to Australia is tough. How do psychos like this make it into Aus is a question in itself, but if you commit crimes, there should be tougher penalties. Problem then goes to where to "hold" such people?

Let the good in, kick the bad out.

FYI: My family migrated here in 1995, I was 6 then.

I don't understand how lenient the judicial system is here in Australia. I mean, people come INTO Australia then start yapping on about hating us? And are allowed to stay? WTF.

I've always assumed its because more people = bigger economy (easy way to keep growth going) = more power. If you look at population density, resources etc, compared to other countries, Australia is no-where near full, even if you take out all the useless desert. Personally I would prefer to keep the population low, but I believe expanding the population enjoys support from both sides of politics

Probably enemy of our enemy stuff - Iran didn't like him either. Totally agree his treatment by Aus legal system was way too soft. Also, definitely an Intelligence miss, but lone psychos are harder to catch.

My concern is the media coverage

will we never learn

Shine a light on it and it will grow

For media and Scipione to quote, "We have the best negotiators... " was reprehensible when MHM was watching. And now the media will print some article called "The barista, the barrister and the bastard".

MHM had no right to be out on bail. He had not right to Centrelink benefits. And he had no right to be here. But I do pray for families and friends of the barista, the barrister and the bastard.

    • I mean it's probably likely that people overestimate their skills in dialling in a setup and noticing the changes. I had SK shocks and springs, and added heavier springs and got them revalved by Sydney Shocks to suit based upon what I told them I wanted the car to handle like. I got back a completely different feeling set of shocks, which probably (?) feel great on track but holy hell are they rough on tram tracks and the like. Truth be told I doubt I'd be any faster or slower with either setup, or camber/castor combination. I also had whiteline eccentric castor bushes up front of my R34. I removed them and put in poly non-adjustable ones to soothe my OCD (nobody ever set the castor the same side to side, and it'd be near impossible to do) and be happy the wheel is centered in the well now for clearance reasons. Yes I wanted it to move 1mm 'back' :p I've effectively set my castor back to stock, negating all the benefits of that which is supposedly massive. I can't tell any difference steering the car.
    • You reckon? I have to disagree. Notwithstanding that at some point we may all be forced to do this to our cars if we want to keep driving them, there is absolutely nothing about an electric-converted-previously-IC-car that is ever good. EVs that are built by OEMs on platforms that were originally IC already suck, let alone the shitty outcomes that result from doing it as a retro to something that was actually built as an IC car. This is because the platform really needs to be designed to house the battery in a useful place (ie, down as low as possible) and the motors are properly located relative to the wheels that they have to drive. Converted platforms already suck at this. But when you try to shove sufficient battery capacity into a previously IC car, you can't put it down on/in the floor, because that space doesn't exist. You can't find enough space where the fuel tank used to be (if it is an inboard fuel tank) and you don't want to hang it out behind the rear axle line if you had a rear fuel tank. And there's not enough space in the tunnel if you still want to use it for anything remotely like what it was originally used for. The engine bay is too big for a motor, and you'd really prefer that the motor for the rear wheels wasn't in the front engine bay anyway. And there's not enough room where the diff was for a proper man-sized E motor. And then.... there is the complete lack of soul and emotion that is provided by EVs. There are some cracking restomods out there. Like the Alfaholics GTA thingo. But it is petrol powered. Look at the alternative EV version of a GTA restomod by Totem. it is jaw droppingly beautiful. But by all reports is is objectively awful to drive, despite having 600 HP or something, simply because there is nothing there. It sounds like a sewing machine or a leaf blower. It should scream and wail and make the hairs on your neck stand up. Oh, and it's 1500 bloody kg in a car that was <900kg when new. GTRs are heavy enough as it is without pushing them up to 2tonnes worth of pork.

    • hahaha @joshuaho96 the most action it gets is when I have to drive from West to SE VIC to meet the fam. Even then, it;s on highway cruising speeds
    • don't know anyone in this thread, but i just found it, read the entire thing in a few hours, realized greg is still posting progress, and just have to say, this is awesome. it looks awesome. 100% right about the Uras kit making it a pain to get on hoists...have the same kit on my 34 and it takes six 2x4s and race ramps to do it without taking parts off. this reminds me exactly of this thread. https://grassrootsmotorsports.com/forum/build-projects-and-project-cars/r63-amg-the-unicorn-of-my-destruction/110824/page8/
