I might be able to go, but I wanna see the edd there ;P -D

God bless body cavities -D

Probably not.. -D

True. Eddy did ya get my messages? -D

srsly, the toyos are the shiznit, cant rate them highly enough -D

Strangely enough tho, I've never been defected. Granted I don't drive around as much as some of you guys... I've had police follow me thru main roads and sidestreets... some of them really tailgate hard (I don't know what legal limit is, but I'm sure these guys the other day couldn't see my numberplate they were that close...), been pulled over and had licence and breatho done but never defected. Having said that, probability is I won't be that fortunate forever. Inspite of politeness, having a straight vehicle with legal mods, and not driving like a tool, I'm sure that one day I'll get pulled over by somebody with a quota to fill. The day that happens, I shall not be a happy chappy... probably kick and scream, use every avenue available to draw the saga out for the sake of righteousness (yeah I have no life and I am a vindictive man by nature) and then probably find myself without much money... Interesting to read that article. All tint has a serial ID that says what the ratio is, and the manufacturer. The tints that come stock are not subject to the aftermarket law, as the car was approved en masse by the manufacturer before any 'driver certified' modification takes place. Just remember; you can have >ANY< modification you want, provided its certified by an engineer as being compliant with all automotive, environmental and safety requirements (ADR and ISO). Just sucks that engineer reports are not cheap, otherwise I'd build a stupendously beastly vehicle, get it certified and every time I got pulled over it'd be a case of "heres my approval mate ;D" Anyhow, sucks that he got you but as stated, EBC's and TT's are most definately defectable... nowt you can do about it -D

Actually when we went fishing he was wearing his spandex dacks over jeans. I was wondering why. Now I know! -D

I've been running the toyo T1R's for over 18 months now. Superb tyre, and not too expensive... they're probably one of the best I've driven in wet conditions with.... cant compare them to any other tyre but I've been told the Goodyear Eagle F1's are pretty damn good and I might give them a go when I need new rubbers -D

Maybe th' blind person is hellafied rich laik And has a stretch hummer driven by a chimpanzee and so they laik get chimp to drive thru and they wind down passenger window and then get they cash to pay chimpanzee yeah -D

Pizza shapes are dope. -D

Radio of all kinds = Wak (except Dohmar FM) Man as soon as I've finished injecting this heroin into the vein under my dick, I'm gonna chase you and beat you up and steal your $4 and get a filet of fish. Aww Cmon quit the hatred. Just because he gets more chicks ;P Allllllll we are sayyyyyying..... is Give Ben A Chance... And that cousins bloke too.. -D

Drugs are mad! and I dont take fresh! -D

Yeah you're half right there... bunch of them cant drive for shit, especially the paki's/indians.... tho if you're lucky to get an anglo driver you gotta put up with the conversation.... I do have a hate on for taxis when I'm in my GTR but if I'm so drunk I'm about to pass out/puke, then the taxi is my very bestest friend ;D -D (Tho I suppose if I puke in his cab then its revenge for the bike riders, eh ruby?)

GUFFAW! Nice 1 -D

Um yeah. Do you have any idea how much bandwidth one person eats when streaming radio for 8 hours a day? FM radio stands for "Free, Motherf**ker" -D

Dunno about you, but theres no way I'd ever take my GTR out when seeing a movie. Theres no way I could enjoy a movie, knowing that my car is sitting in a car park. Dunno about that bus line u mentioned, but having been on the last train to gawler on a saturday night, I can half imagine... but whats wrong with taxis? I mean if u got money for petrol, parking, movie tickets, popcorn and beer then the $20 for a cab really isnt much to ask I dont think... I for one love the public transport. Means I can leave the car at home with 2 big ass dogs to guard... Still if we accept your point that public transport is bad, whats to say you can't drive a sigma or a prius? Do you really need something with over 100kw to take friends to the movies? Hell no... -D EDIT: All this talk has made me want to buy a GL sigma. They really do drive quite nicely....

While the journalism is very poor, I dont believe shes targeting any particular scene. I feel shes more complaining about the fact that police are human and dont have star trek transporter devices and cannot be everywhere instantaneously. I agree with her assertion that there should be some sort of penalty on younger drivers, but I dont think it should be a financial one. Limiting the sort of car they can drive will also help their wallets (rego, insurance, maintenance, police attention (ala defects) etc). She seems to think when she hears a car doing something, that said car is going to stay in the area for a long time. It is a vehicle, which means that it moves...she seems to think that people under 25 cant afford extra licencing/rego fees. She also thinks that a hotline is enough evidence to try and convict someone upon hearsay. Oh and to top this off, she raises the race card and indirectly blames immigrants on vandalism and car hooning due to them 'straining the infrastructure'. What nonsense. Aside, I really don't see your point Cronic.... 1. You make it sounds like public transport is bad? Sure it might not be as cool as driving your mates around but at least u can get shitfaced. And if such a thing is considered, I doubt they would prevent multiple passengers; more likely they'd just prevent the amount of people you can take in specific times (ala not after 9 for example) To be clear tho, I don't agree with this one, I'm just playing devils advocate. 2. You expect your friends with cars to be out with u till 3am and not get shamozzled? Cmon, just get a taxi ffs, it doesnt cost that much compared to the price of a schooner these days... (yes I'm taking the piss) 3. Turbo 4WD's (as in an All Terrain Vehicle vs a GTR) will generally be offset due to the power to weight ratio, as well as the ratio of power and the amount of rubber on the road. (Being serious; that said, I think 4wd's need to be taxed off our roads for being ugly petrol guzzling road destroying ignorant driver creating behemoths that will destroy our very souls) I wouldn't pay too much attention to "Ben" in pooraka. There are always right wing idiots who have no understanding of a situation and want to appear like they have a clue. See 'boondock mentality' But yes. Shit article from one Ms Anderson. Perhaps she should proof read her own material before publishing such tripe. -D

Engine capacity and power per weight ratio is also factored. a 3.6lt v6 with 125 kw (stock VN) would probably not make it. I think you'll find a 2.4lt 4 cyl NA will be the approximation. V6's dont make the grade interstate. -D

OK. So you can afford it. Admirable, but it does not make you competent in a high power vehicle. I see a lot of whinging from the under 25's. I'm sure Pete and Ruby have made this perfectly clear in prior threads, that when they started driving/riding, the vehicles were not as powerful. And yes, people still died. However, the cars have been getting structurally safter, with better driving aids and active safety measures. Being in a modern WRX didn't save the unfortunate passenger in the crash last month. Yes I was able to do a burnout in my mums sigma when I was a P plater. But that was ONLY in the wet. And I can guarantee you, having driven 8 totally different cars in my life (84 Sigma, 89 R31, Mercedes CLK320, XF Falcon, Hyundai Getz, Toyota Seca, Suzuki 4WD and the R32 GTR, that driving the GTR (while being powerful, having great driving aids) is very easy to get into trouble. You think that the base torque figure is what gets you out of trouble? No. It gets you into trouble. Using your brain is what gets you out of trouble. And all the driving aids do is to lull you into a false sense of security. After all, when you go past the limits of the vehicle, all those driving aids aren't worth a damn. Relax. Nobody is saying you can't get access to the vehicle, it just means you have to prove yourself in a lower spec vehicle. And if you are stupid enough to do stupid things while on your P's and in a low power vehicle, you may find yourselves having an extension added to your P's. Remember they are probationary plates. If you break the road rules and have a conviction, most likely you'll be demoted back to P plates, in spite of having a full licence prior. Its all about your own historical record, and quite frankly if you can't restrain yourself in a lower powered vehicle, then you surely do not have a hope in hell of acting responsibly in a high powered one. And considering the youths who progress from L's to P's have >no< proven track record against them, sadly the law needs to err on the side of caution and assume the worst. Sucks to be you, but look at it as a challenge to prove your worth. Because thats what it is. Oh, and if you want to get defensive driving courses, then do! Quit whinging and expecting the government to spoon feed you infants, and then in the very next breath decry them being overbearing molly coddlers. With age comes experience, and with experience comes wisdom. And I know I've still got a hell of a long way to do, so it goes without saying that as much as you youngsters protest about being 'responsible', your protestations will fall on deaf ears. After all, we often read about the relatives and friends of drivers who die behind the wheel saying 'theyre responsible and mature'. That may very well be the case, however it is a poor substitute to practical experience. -D

Just msg me when yr at lukes home, and i'll pop over, cheers homie! -D

Yeah there is but I dunno the shortcut atm... has a guide on where to reflow the solder. I did mine 4 weeks ago and its been running like a dream ever since As to what I hate.... diagnosing HICAS issues.... not being able to have sex in the back seat because im not a midget (and those bucket rear seats, ouch) um, the rarity of mechanics that actually know what theyre doing.... hard to find replacement bits sometimes but on the whole i still love my gtr ;D -D

Wouldn't be a bad idea IMHO. Esp seeing some dropkick P plater in a VN do a single wheel burnout while turning onto Hampstead Road. Theres no great loss for P platers. If they behave themselves, in time they'll get access to the high power cars, when they get their full licence. The "P" stands for Probationary after all. -D

Hahah... very bad taste but I had to admit I lol'd. Zinger that one.. -D

(In Italian/european accent) "Ohhh you nasssty girl! Nasssty nasssty girl!!" Or is that the 'wrong' rocco ? Haha -D

Might have to give him a call next month, been meaning to get my spoiler and front bar resprayed for a while... if u got a number pls chuck it up, otherwise I'll have to break my laziness and actually use whitepages.com.au -D
