Haha ditto!

More accurate speed adaptation is definitely on its way via car-to-car communication. 5.9GHz frequency has been reserved in most continents for Vehicle-to-Vehicle (V2V) communication technology. They say cars will be able to 'talk' to each other up to 300m away. More info here: http://www.goauto.com.au/mellor/mellor.nsf...A25744100187D43

You sure Albertina?

If they wouldnt say that, then what is the answer to that question? What is their reason for defecting cars? Do they scour all vehicles for possible defects in the same way that imports are often subjected? I was almost defected when i was targeted for a "random" breath test. The cop performed a high speed U turn across double lines and overtook 2 cars on the wrong side of the road to give me a totally "random" breath test. I wasnt speeding, nor suspicious and the officer admitted this to me. It was only because I was polite and forthright with with cop that he let me go after pointing out the numerous trivial ways he could defect me off the road if he so chose! It seems like its being used as a roundabout method of punishment for driving an import lately. There's no denying that there are some tossers out there deserve to be punished though..

I've been getting slightly fed up with the stigma surrounding "Hoons" lately. To me it sounds like people are being defected on a daily basis for things which, in all fariness, maybe should be defected. After all it is the law, and we should try to abide by it. What I DONT agree with is Police pulling people over simply because of the fact that they are driving a "Hoon" branded car. If the police stuck to actual policing of infringements on the road and pulling cars over for actual misbehaviour, then us disrespectful, life threatening, insane, street racing import drivers might not get such a hard time on the road! So what are the Police trying to gain by defecting cars? Ask any traffic cop, and I'm sure he/she would say something like "Defecting cars is making the roads safer". A large majority of import cars are owned by enthusiast type owners who would keep their cars maintained to a level far above most other vehicles of that age. Most are even modified to provide better handling and braking than a standard car. This isnt safer in the eyes of the police of course. What about emissions? Greenhouse gasses, global warming and the rest? Oh please! The number of high performance imports on the road is barely a pin prick in the scheme of things. I'm guessing less than 0.5% (at best!) of cars are "high performance imports". If each one of these emits 30% more toxic gas than a standard car, thats 0.15% more emissions overall. You would need to defect every single HPI on the road to gain 0.15% better emissions from vehicles. It hardly seems worth the effort considering Australian vehicle emissions is around 38 million tonnes of combined CO2 and other gasses per year - this is absolutely dwarfed by industrial emissions which is in the vicinity of 564 million tonnes per year! "Hoons are a danger to society". This is the crap which we've been fed to us by the media for a couple of years now. The fact is that street racing always has and always will be a part of driving culture. I'm definitely not an advocate for it - it's ridiculously stupid and dangerous. But it's been around since the 1960's so its definitely not some new concept! Kids have been killing themselves in cars since long before people have been driving these "imports". It's only until now that the media have caused the frenzy over a couple of incidents which saw innocent people killed. It's an unfortunate fact but people are killed by reckless driving every day! You dont need to be driving an import to kill people. I'd love to find the statistics on the number of people killed in imports versus regular cars. Of course they'd never release those for fear of playing down the danger involved with these hoons and their imports. Unfortunately because all import drivers have been categorised as Hoons by the police, we are all instantly branded street racing maniacs. By the RTA's records, fatalities on NSW roads have been dropping STEADILY since the 1980's! So how is this knee-jerk reaction to imports in the last few years justified? Media and police driven bullshit stereotypes. /rant

They're the distributors, so if they cant get them there aint many others who could! It's strange that they couldnt even source some either You might actually find that Momo dont even make rails for the R34, nor any skyline for that matter. I had the same story with my Sparco seats from memory. I had to use Recaro rails and design adapters so the seat would fit the rails. If you decide to go for Recaro, Australia's importer and distributor of Recaro is Macquarie 4x4 at Windsor.. Talk to Duncan. He was able to import the rails for mine, and Im pretty sure they make rails for R34.

Roman Auto-Tek at Rhodes are (or were) the Australian distributor for Momo. They will be able to help you out.

Ohai! I didnt see you Oh! Didnt see you either! I'm crap at spotting

Tsk... silly boy

Oh sorry.. i missed the part where you said the car was completely stock. If there isnt an atmo BOV, then you can try cleaning your AAC valve.. There is a DIY on how to do it here: http://www.skylinesaustralia.com/forums/Di...nd-t110431.html If you've got some basic tools you can do it yourself pretty easily. Often a dirty/sticky AAC valve can cause idling issues..

Well yeah sort of.. The BOV dumps air out of the intake pipe, AFTER it's been registered by flowing past the air sensor. So when you dump air out of the intake the ECU still dumps the same amount of fuel in (expecting the air thats gone atmo, to come into the engine!). This creates the wrong air/fuel mixture, so when the revs drop to idle its not generating enough "bang" to keep the engine running on idle because its got a really rich mixture

I think you'll be the first to figure that one out I think it'd work.. Cant see why not. Essentially its the same game with very minor differences..

Woohoo! Its a very rare occasion that I'm actually looking forward to Monday on a Friday afternoon!

Theres a few other things.. Nipples censored, blood doesnt pool on the ground etc etc Its not that much cheaper than BigW who had it for $78 or something. It's $70AUD on Playasia. The only reason that I ordered from playasia instead was that I didnt expect it to come out at such a low price in Oz! Most big PS3 games are $100+

Yeah they're site says that, but this guys answer doesnt sound promising: "We regret that we are unable to provide an estimate time frame when we can ship out 'GTA IV' at the moment"

GRRR God dammit!! Dont worry? Of course I know that you will ship it when it's stocked. WHEN THE f**k IS THAT!?

That carpark is a bitch even for mildly lowered cars, and there is about 100 too many speed humps..

Damn straight! How could it not!?

Silly question... Mi Goreng noodles cost 30c per pack, are extremely tasty, and im pretty sure they provide all the nutrients and MSG our finely tuned gaming bodies require. END DEBATE.

Courier companies dont deliver on weekends..

Jeebuz! $84 at JB!? Thats awesome... Re-considering the order from Play-Asia now

Yeah ditto... Unless you chose the uber-fast shipping it definitely wont arrive till next week

lawl... best chop i've ever seen!!

x 2!!

Nerds in denial.. lol!
