  1. OCD, why you so obsessive about capitals?
  2. Isn't this only on the skylines with Hydraulic HICAS? R33 runs electronic Hicass...
  3. Not an FG XR6T... I think what we'll all find, is that Ford put the speed restriction on the Falcon as weight goes up, not because it's dangerous, more so to stop the gearbox ass ploding. At 110KM/H, it likes to try and sit in 4th gear, on boost when climbing a hill. when things start to get a bit steep and you keep the foot in to keep it climbing... You can just tell the gearbox doesn't like it, but back it down to 80km/h, it'll slip back to 3rd gear, and it's happy as larry. I had an R33 GTSt on the back of my FG last weekend, it towed it fine, bar the weight going up hill, and chewing over half a tank of premium to get from Dulwich Hill to Wollongong. (Far too much fuel IMO!) It would probably cost me $90 in premium to go to Wakefield, and then another $90 to come home again. I actually had to stand on the anchors and she did pull up. (ABS got a work out, but she pulled up in a hurry, I was quite impressed actually at how well it pulled up)
  4. Repco tools also come with a lifetime warranty! Most of my tools are repco branded. The worse I've done is put a very minor bend in one of the extension bars of my socket set... And I may or may not have had a 2metre piece of pipe on it to do so...
  5. Dear Harry, I am sending you my apologies. An FG XR6T is a POS car to tow a skyline with. Regards, Matt
  6. From everything I've seen, Insurance can only decline a claim on illegally modified parts if the illegal part can be proven to be the cause of the accident.
  7. ZF gearbox oil I've heard is around $200 to fill the box in the falcon "because it's all synthetic" or some shit.
  8. My yacht can go though!It should roll out a mid 13 with ease!
  9. All I hear is excuses...
  10. Depends on how much you love your mother and if your 1st born has life insurance..
  11. Really? Are you that much of a pansy you won't drive in the rain, or is it just that your car leaks/lacks a roof?I'd only avoid Mac Pass in extremely extremely cold weather (Like we had last friday) and it's raining, this equals snow + black ice. Oh and in a raging thunderstorm that you really shouldn't be leaving your house because of, as it'll bring branches down.
  12. Sounds like I need to lock this into my Calendar.
  13. I have to agree with Dave (woah, shut just got weird, someone call Mulder) The club put on a few track days over te last few years, which caused a decent financial strain. Everyone says they want more, but then won't come. We even ran Marulan, it was $130 if I remember rightly. But still no one came. Unfortunately for 2 or 3 track days a year, we don't have the member base. Saunsw sees roughly 10 repeat people each track day, that means 30 different people per track day, that means we need 100 members a year who want to go on a track day if we run 3 Wakie days. Then a drag day needs another 30 different members (again, our reg 10 plus 30 others who don't normally come out.) So for 3 track days and a drag day we need 130 members a year to see the track. We just don't have this base anymore really
  14. You'll normally have state prosecutors supporting the case from the police/state side.This is what I understand happens. Never been myself, never had to.
  15. Gonnnneeeeeeee to the man in black.
  16. I agree. Something like the ec4 hour. So many of us have borked track cars.
  17. It has begun!!! Maybe...
  18. Yep, it would all be viewed through our saunsw.com.au domain. edit: I'll see what the sau webserver is like with my work internet connections and might get a start on it during lunch tomorrow.
  19. Eric would you like this put on a data base, where after a certain time period an email is sent to an exec email address + the holder of said item for them to confirm item is still valid if not it's removed?
  20. That's because hoon mums have killed them all!
  21. I wonder what they'll say when they see your freshly powder coated interior being all bling and shit!
  22. Speak to Eric Owen.
  23. And stickers will end up all over your car!
  24. Right now... My wallet thinks this is the answer... The even funnier part? I really do have these stickers for the car already... LOL I'm about to order a starter motor relocator, just waiting for pay day. edit: and yes, the car sat at my mothers for nearly a year (So much for 6 weeks Mum!)
  25. Over the top, short shift into 3rd, point the nose in early get it in the gutter, open the throttle up. Pray to god the ass doesn't come too far out. I remember that part... And I've only done it in an alfa rofail before! Love that section of the track!
