Vandals are about the most pointless diks on earth... sorry to hear about your damage. If as you said your neighbour witnessed the act that's all the proof you'd have needed, especially if the perpetrators are known for this kind of behaviour. You should have called the police and detained the little shits until their arrival...It's within your rights to do so.

Having said all that I doubt the results will be changed and another champ instated.. Something to cringe @ in the record books atleast. You guys are spot on re: points system not rewarding talent and consistency and just rewarding the consistent...probably best to regard the whole season as an aberration that hopefully will never happen again.

No point SK.... if you don't see it for what is well what can be done. I can individually correct you on all points again, but why say it all over again. Look at the footage It doesnt lie neither does the nice deep ding (passenger side of grille and bonnet) that R.K's car sported for the rest of the race. you don't get that kind of damage from rubbing bumper to bumper. Now: the expression "to hang someone out to dry" is an expression used when you leave some nowhere else to go... it is not dependant on his position on the track what so ever be it inside or outside. Have a look at the footage and stills.

T.Kelly's way deep and wide...the back page of the heraldsun shows him turning in hard to try and catch the apex and he's still about a cars width off the apex, so he either over cooked it or was trying hard to hang Lowndes out to dry while his bro snuck up the inside.... it also shows R.Kelly so far up Lowndes r/h/s rear quarter you can see the guard flexing and creasing not to mention the daylight you can see daylight under the fords rear tyres. But thats racing...is it? The calls for Shuey are valid without R.Ingall in the mix for the championship it was all far to nice and clean

Rather than repeat myself or rudely ask you to go back and read my first post Note the first sentence... Now if you have a look at the footage from the first 3 cars on the road it's self explanatory. Maybe you are correct and Lowdes is @ fault, he should have let R.Kelly up the inside while T.Kelly blocked him in by over cooking the corner and going slow on the outside. If R.Kelly was on or forward of his D-pillar then yes he should have copped it but he wasn't he was banging around his rear bar as stated, perhaps he should have let him up the inside then forced him into the dirt ala Skaife. Shenaniggans all-round and some very bad sportsmanship on display, sorry but i'm disappointed. Re: Tanders blocking.....fairdinkum we all know what that was about. he wasn't racing for position with Lowndes..G.T is probably the best steerer in v8's atm imho and his car was vastly superior to Lowndes car on the day. slowing through corners (the only place Lowndes had superior speed over R.Kelly) then blasting off down the straight where Lowndes doesn't have the legs so as to bring him back to R.Kelly..Friggin sad It just aint cricket!!

Doesn't matter what happened 100mtrs back up the road really does it? that's not the incident that is under investigation. As stated rubbing the rear bar is fine it's the pinning manoeuvre used that wasn't.. Have a look yourself he rubs across the back several times then moves right as Lowndes brakes sticks it up the inside about 200/300mm then steers left...have another look yourself its all captured nice and clear, it's a text book immobilisation technique and about as dangerous as it gets in racing on a mid-high speed corner. R.Kelly has no idea, but he's still very young and has time to learn

T.Kelly over cooked the corner, Lowndes had a look up the inside that's why he was there. R.Kelly wasn't @ Lowndes D-pillar @ the approach to the apex so he should have conceded the corner not used a police style immobilisation technique...Tapping-rubbing the rear bar is fine, trying to drive through your opponents rear quarter is not. As for G.Tander and the other conspiring Holden drivers/teams pffft what a day of shame, seriously Walkinshaws driver instruction of "win it or bin it" borders on criminal!!! If cams are not willing to burn atleast one of these tools at the stake I'll be disappointed. Maybe send the naughty boys back to race carts with the other kids where they belong or atleast until they mature more than just a tad. They willingly conspired to ruined what should have been an awesome final round of racing..

and todays funniest post is Hahaha I love that!! Sorry to hear about your drama's, as already suggested pay the fines and think yourself lucky for the reduced charges. If the cops had found you having a crap on the side of the road I could see you contesting the resulting fine for medical reasons, but 100+ in a 60 zone no excuse will get you out of that one.

Good for you young fella, so you're the exception and a great driver!! but the laws are made for all, not tailored to each individual and logically it has to be this way. Yep they have had 10 yr + studies in Europe and the u.s.a correlating the relationship of speed and fatalities and agreed it does appear the arguments our government dept put forward in response are crap and it's all about the $$$. Strangely that's not what is under discussion here and I have heard of no similar studies done on power limitations for novice drivers and fatalities. Mothers...Commodores and Camry's, speed zones, revenue raising..... I fail to see how any off these things mentioned are relevant or a suitable argument for against or indifferent in regards to the subject under discussion. You seem to be mildly indignant to say the least...why? because you've been doing the wrong thing and don't like it being pointed out. YOU can argue against that until you're blue in the face but it will not change the fact that you are firstly mistaken and misguided in your response and secondly you have been and continue to break the law.. The laws exist, it's a fact!!! Personally I have never suggested anyone buy a cheap lesser safe car...buy a spanking new n/a Bentley/Jag or Benz for all I care. The only thing that is being "suggested" is that he might want to reconsider breaking the law as other before him have done. Why??? simply because as has been mentioned multiple times in this thread and my previous post the rules and consequences are changing. He won't be able to laugh it off and pay a fine as many other have before him....If he gets done twice he'll cop a suspension. Get done the first time you'd better have money for a tow or something else arranged because if you try and drive home you'll cop a second/3rd/4th ticket. Is any of this sinking in?? or do you find yourself getting angrier with the inane urge to type more nonsense that has no relevance to the subject at hand. I'm teaching my young fella to ride a motorbike atm...do you think I've started him off on my 500cc dirt bike or 1000cc roadbike? No oddly he's riding something smaller less powerful until he becomes a proficient rider. I wish skill, logic and maturity came in pill form but it doesn't so we take a natural course of progression to suit our physical and mental capacities. Just like when you learnt to ride a bicycle when a child. The learner and probationary laws are based on the same principals without the benefit of being able to Taylor it for each individual therefore if you pass a minimum requirement you may drive and progress through the system following the guidelines until you gain full competence with a full licence to match. Who's going to know how cool you are being a law breaking rebel n shit when your cars parked in the garage and you have to walk everywhere. Silly Lankan take the advice of those that know through practical experience not those that can't see the forest coz of all dem damn trees!

What's the rush with young peeps today? Follow the regulations/laws and you'll be driving the car of your choice legally in no time. The legislation is actually in place for a reason not just as an inconvenience to young individuals. Reason?? yep reason being for your safety... but more importantly for the safety of the millions of other road user that have no choice in sharing the roads with you once you're licensed. It appears you'd made your mind up before you asked on these forums for advice...so why bother SillyLankan? Seriously with demerit points on top of the current fine system will see you walking or back on your bicycle in the near future. I've noticed that almost all younger driver have failed to see what ramifications these new beefed up laws will have. They are being put in place to stop the "meh it's only a fine if I'm caught attitude" that is prevalent with today's laws. Guaranteed they'll will be strictly enforced and many peeps will find themselves walking. If you've been a repeat offender under the current system don't be surprised when a tog car appears in your street soon after these new laws are introduced. The best advice I can give a P plater who currently bends the rules is to sell your car and sell it fast!!! That way you'll avoid the cop hassles and still get a semi ok price for your cars before the ass totally falls out of the market as it will when over 70% of the prospective turbo/performance import market of Victoria can't get away with bending the laws anymore. I've actually been thinking of selling my own car now and buying another after the crash. Pffft you might be thinking, r33 prices can't drop much more!! wait and see.. it's basic economics, supply and demand.

Wanted r34 smic, piping ect.. good price paid Pm me if you've got one. cheers.

Too much weight not enough torque doesnt make for a good ride. Sounds a real nightmare of an effort for not a great result. When I read your post first thing I thought of was that total miss match of the mid 70's from holden/mazda I can't remember the name of the car (cosmos or something else spacey). Essentially it was a hj-hz sedan over flowing with tastless trim and powered by a 12a or 13b rotary. What a cracking sports sedan that wasnt...sheeet it wasnt even economical!! Enough flashbacks from me, personally I don't think it's a good idea.. although interesting and I doubt you'll be satisfied with the results. As suggested by others the 4ltr ford force fed would be very hard to beat for ease of setup, build cost and performance.

Tomato sauce, soy and vinegar combo with chips ftw..try it you'll never look back or have to share your chip with ignorant eaters again

G'day I'm hoping someone out there has the part number for an r34 smic. Reason being I have 2 smic and was told one of them is an r34 smic (purchased from these forums) but both part #'s are the same, with both ic looking identical externally i'm getting close to calling shenaniggans!!! Any help would be great. Danke.

There's a reporting system in place for unlawful use of disabled parking, anyone can use it police/private citizen..drunk/sober, if he took your details you may recieve a fine but odds are when he realises that if you contest it he'll have to go to court also. I'd say like the majority of peeps he'll file it under cbf'd.

Go back to the corner and try it again on a dry warm day, I'd guess you more than likely found some thin ice or moisture on a very cold road, with the rev range you state you'd have just hit boost as it happened. Sounds fun to me

Yeah you should have asked Nengun to send your items in 2 parcels with seperate invoices both under $1000.00. It's much cheaper to pay 2x postage than the taxes involved otherwise. Live and learn hey.. As for Nengun tracking system, from experience it's never accurate... postage once it leaves nengun in Japan is only 3-4 days via air. The major delay i've found with these guys is their actuall despatch times. It can take up to 2 weeks for them to package and despatch your goods. I wouldn't bother contacting them re: lead times they seem to think 2-3 weeks from japan is a super fast happy service. Yeah they're slow..but the prices are ok and the parts always arrive eventually.

An inexpensive product that actually does what it claims....took me 2 min to install with great results. Even if it did take a week to get here, it's $35 well spent. Nice one Mark cheers....

yeah sounds like a beat up!!! Maybe try media watch on the abc, they love reaming TT for sensationalist and inaccurate reporting.

Sounds good, Do they come ready to bolt on or do they need the flange welded on? If they're bolt on put me down for 1 please

Definately the clutch, i'd suggest you stop "testing it" before your flywheel is beyond machining.

Take the car back and let them drive the squealing bitch if they don't believe you.. As for your problem it'll most probably be caused by too much brass in the brake pad, dodgy batches slip through every so often.....The solution is to exchange the pads for another set and try again. It doesn't happen very often but in the past 2 yrs i've seen it twice on my cars.

It's always sad when someone dies, especially when it could/should have been avoided.. With all this anti Skyline news going around it might be time to steal an idea from "Gun advocates" and get some stickers made up... SKYLINES don't kill people, people kill people

I'm sorry that for some reason you believe I have been derogatory towards your level of literacy, I can't see where that comes from, as I said previously your English is fine, better than fine for a second language..But then again Dan does say I did it in his post so I must have...he couldn't be mistaken? could he? I didn't agree with your opinion of your friends obligations to you and stated as such ... with a few added aussie larrikin style barbs (heart like rabbit/Nancy/Mary ect)....welcome to Australia, I'd suggest you get used to it. Our opinions on Dan differ..but that's ok, he has issues with me that's fine and I have little regard for him.

I could quote the other posters...but you should get the idea. When I'm attacked @ a personal level (sadly not the first time from this individual) I reserve the right of reply. If responding in kind deserves a warning well then warn away, but to be unbiased maybe you should also warn the poster/s that have personally attacked me in this thread. Just a thought for your omnipotent consideration. My god you also insulted me, I've been personally attacked..bwaaaaaaaaaaa I take it you didn't find the lawyer-mechanic Jk humourous, shame I spent all of 30 secs on that joke. Seriously fella!! you require some self moderation
