  1. Hello all ...im looking at taking my GTR32 to the track when my CAMS license goes through. Now, from my understanding u need to make sure ur bonnet is tied down but im not exactly comfortable with drilling holes in my bonnet to fit em. So is there any other option/product out there i can use??? P.S: Is there a sticky thread (or link) some where that lists all vehicle requirements for putting the car on the track? I think the req are pretty straight forward; just wanna be sure im not missing anything
  2. As already stated..... its just a number and a good car is about having a total package. Hypothetically u could have one car do 250kw and do 13sec 1/4mile, whilst another with 200kw (50 less) go faster with 12sec 1/4 mile. Its a good figure as is for a street car so i'd be looking at bringing the rest of the car up to scratch. ....but thats just my opinion.
  3. A mandrel bend means the inside diameter (ID) maintains a consistent size reducing turbulence and maintaining velocity. Whilst i do agree that 3inch on an N/A 2.5litre may be a little big, the exhaust dude sounds like a tool that just want ur money. EDIT: LoL, i just read the post properly...i dunno where i got the idea ur car was N/A ....go the 3inch dude.
  4. I would love to attend these meetings as it sounds rather informative and a layed back atmosphere. But getting up at the un-holy hour of 3:30AM for work would mean i get fark all sleep Tue night
  5. hrrrmmm.... ....its got me stumped
  6. How did u loose ur old atm card? AND Are you listed in the telephone book? If your card was stolen/lost it wouldnt be hard to look up ur address; then its a matter of playing the waiting game and going through ur mailbox after the posty visits to gather the card, pin, additional mail with detials whilst u sit back wondering whats taking so long for ur card to arrive. ....not that i would know anything about that kind of thing.
  7. The personal shots on here is getting a bit much ppl. Everyone is entitled to an opinion here whether it be to go fight the charge or to suck it up, suck it in, suck shit, eat balls, eat eggs, eat kebabs.....mmmmmm kebab *drools* Lets keep it light hearted or just close the damn thread already. Mulkers can get back to us with the results at a later stage.
  8. Disgruntled neighbors maybe?
  9. It seems there are several ways you can view this case... 1. The facts - 8:05am 58km/h in a 40km/h zone from 08:00. 2. The accuracy in acquiring those facts - variation/discrepancy in time etc. This case can certainly be fought and probably won on the grounds that on your mind/watch it was before 08:00 and so you were abiding by the posted limit of 70km p/hr by traveling at 68km p/hr. A discrepancy of 5min between any two clocks/watches is certainly not inconceivable (...any more would probably tip the case the other way). The fact that other vehicles were traveling at a similar speed would also coincide with that and further add to your belief that you were within limits. So mulkers does have a chance here. But We now come to your previous history which im tipping is not the best and will be a great weight against mulkers. You also didnt mention if you had a clock in your car so you were unable to show or prove the time discrepancy. My opinion? ...suck it up
  10. If this was a one off then i would sympethise with Mulkers, but seeing as you have accrued the points due to a number of traffic infringements then i say suck it up also... kthnxbai
  11. Top job I actually read the whole thing
  12. This may sound stupid, but have u emptied the car of everything? ...keys, cd case, loose change etc. I had a similar problem and found that the cd case in the glove box was rather heavy and bulging. The weight and bulge seemed to push on the glove box door which bowed it by that hundredth of a mm causing the edges/contact surfaces to vibrate during driving, hence the rattling noise. This was on my Commodore mind you I've also found that if a vehicle is parked in the sun every day of its life, after a couple years it could develop a few lil squeaks that way due to fatigue caused by constant heat expansion/contraction....depends on the car though. If ur keen and got the weekend free, try removing (even partly) the dash and maybe try some blu tack on all the contact surfaces, and behind where the screws go maybe??? ....or u could try a re-upholsterer?
  13. :laughing-smiley-014:
  14. What a gawd ugly car! ....at least it ended up where it belongs
  15. I've found this is probably as strong a point arguing for private health insurance as it gets. I made 80K last financial. 1% of 80K would be $800 p/a, or $66.6 p/month which is about the same as what most ppl pay for their insurance now. So one may say, "Well if its about the same then you might as well have it" .....but then what about the Gap that you have to pay whenever you do have to use health insurance??? Taking this into consideration wouldn't you say it ends up costing more actually? ....LoL, im a stubborn prick aren't I ?

    New Ride

    Fark yeah, thats one clean looking engine bay!
  17. I dont need contacts or lenses I have perfect teeth, and never had fillings, etc There is no family history of cancer, illnesses, etc etc etc About two years ago i had broken my ankle and went through the public hospital. I was admitted straight away and required surgery involving a metal plate bolted to my bones. I was in hospital for a total of 3 days in my own room. I had the option of a TV for approx $7 p/w. I was in plater for a total of 6 weeks and underwent about 6 weeks physiotherapy without receiving a single bill. Now, If i was on private health insurance, what difference would that have made to my level of treatment???? I spoke with an adviser from HBA that came out to my work the other week and even she could not answer that question with a straight forward answer. All i could make out from her answer was something about paying an excess and a surgeon of my choice??? ....yer coz i hang out with all the surgeons down at the pub and know the difference between them I strongly believe we do not give enough credit to the quality of our public system. As we can see in my case there really was not much more i could ask for. And take a look at the victims of the recent CBD shootings....would you not say they did a fantastic job in saving the life of a non-resident, who does not pay taxes here (not that i know of) let alone have private health insurance? If the doctors deem a problem you have as "non-essential" like a cyst for example then obviously that means that its not going to kill you doesn't it? So if its not going to kill you, whats the urgency? And if you keep your teeth and gums healthy with regular, proper brushing from an early age then wouldn't you have to agree that prevention is better than the cure? I do agree with the $120 ambulance cover fee as that is not fully covered by Medicare. Dont get me wrong, im not having a go at anyone here. Im just really struggling to find a strong argument for having such insurance when the public system caters for all needs anyways. I do also believe that there are people out there with special needs that require that additional care in which case i can then see the benefit in it. ....if someone can give me some really strong, scale-tipping, undeniable facts to actually have private health then im all ears and am more than willing to change my view. Heck, its why i posted the question up
  18. AHAHAHA Ya Ya thats the one. I was doin my head in thinking what his name was EDIT:
  19. Yer i payed the same last financial... ...i might grab the details of that tax dude off ya ....mmmm instant 18K *drools*
  20. True True ...but then wouldnt the Ambulance Cover you can get for $120 p/a cover ya? I had broken my ankle a couple years back and went to the public hospital where they fixed me right up. No fuss, no hassles....and i didnt feel like it was "sub-standard" treatment. Hence why i cant seem to find a *good* reason to have it. *shrugs*
  21. Just curious to know, how much ppl are getting back on their returns and if anyone uses any of the major tax brokers... AND Does anyone here have private health insurance? Who with? What benifits you get? I've been thinking about getting it for a couple years now but cant see the benefits of having it to be honest. The way i see it, either pay $800 to the taxman or $800 to private health which gives you no real gains anyways. I got pwnd last year for earning above 50K and was only left with a measly couple hundred bucks
  22. I cant help but think it looks somewhat like a comic hero??? ...Phantom??? *shrugs*
  23. Ya rekon? I think it'll be alrite, we'll see when we get some better trailers comin out how it is. Ya. I was hooked on 'Hitman 2 - Silent Assassin' at one stage. But when they brought out the one after that (Contracts & then Blood Money) it got a bit full on for me as i wasnt patient enough to carry out some of the elaborate missions.
  24. My above post edited with a couple extra.... ...i'll see about coming down to an SAU photoshoot day for some nice piccys P.S: Subscription form is going in next week
  25. Yes its old news, but i only just found the trailer....looks not too bad actually.... Trailer here: http://www.hitmanmovie.com/ P.S: Comes out on my b'day 12th Oct :sorcerer: kthnxbai
