Marco-R34GTT

lol

HHmmmm, maybe the government should forcefully phase out 91 octane through legislation.. The Australian voters brought in the labour government to fix climate change, well lets make a start by getting rid of the most pollutant fuel... Hhhmmmmmm, what a nice thought...

Law making like this is something I don't agree with, and will never do so. Making laws in reaction to target a slim minority simply discourages the individual capacity for personal responsibility. Catering for this lack of good judgement and irresposibility makes the problem worse..

Having grown up out bush and driving of gravel roads... I do be to differ..

lol. In terms of the "alienating" I was more making reference to the pollies and coppers.. I do kind of agree with what your saying, I just hope that it is reasonable, in the sense that you can't have both a pod filter and an intercooler (Like the two intake modifications law in Vic, which = gheyness), I would rather see the government introduce a compulsory pit passing law which each car has to pass the pits bi-anually in order to stay road worthy, that gets the old pieces of shits off the road whilst also keeping us performance junkies in check.. They do this in the UK and apparently it is quite effective in getting all the old, unmaintained sheetboxes off the roads.. In terms of power, I can't see there being a realistic solution... I wouldn't like to see Cooper S's being banned because of a supercharger, or a Golf tdi/fsi, they are all pretty safe cars to drive, and handle very well, when you start talking about 307kw V8 HSV's and GTR's then I start to agree, but in turn I also think FWD cars need to be given a heck of a lot of scrutineering as well. Proportionally if such a power/weight ration figure came into play, then FWD's should suffer an exponentially greater power penalty than RWD cars, with 4wd suffering the least penalty (not performance ATTESSA stuff, more like Subaru's symmetrical AWD system)...

Alienating the 'motorcar' is a sure-fire way to make the entire plan fail.. We are turning into Switzerland, next thing we will ban motor-races, ban carwashes, and go to prison for minor speeding offences.. The big cheeses in parliment (both national and state), Grant Dorrington, Karl O'Callaghan.... Just have not idea... What many of these people have done and also failed to do it utterly contemptable... HPT, biggest joke ever...

If I may ask Coz... How frequently would they actually occur??

I'm not for this at all.. All though I do believe that defensive driving should be a MANDATORY component of attaining a drivers licence. I think everyone is forgetting the crux of the issue here. PERSONAL RESPONSIBILITY, people should quite simply not drive like a pack of wankers, well, not on public roads anyway. It is the these guilty parties that need to be targeted specifically, once they are caught then they must be charged by the full weight of the law. Same thing goes to parents, you buy your kids a 300kw supertaxi, don't cry on television when they've wrapped themselves around a powerpole trying to impress a group of school kids. I got done for hoon laws in a 97rkw VL hommodore, my next car was my R34 GTT, haven't lost a single demerit point.... What changed??? More power? A turbocharger? No, my attitude changed, I did my six months penance, I took my punishment on the chin, served my six months on foot, got my licence back and got my new car.. Ask any of my friends or anyone on here that knows me well, I've not done a single skid/burnout/donut in my car on public land... It comes with an attitude adjustment, maybe I'm a lucky one, but do I want to see others suffer for my own lack of judgement, no I don't. I wasn't at all happy about copping six months but I did, and I swear I literally didn't drive anywhere on a public road for six months.. That should be my own punishment to serve, not someone else's, that is just wrong, unjust and simply unacceptable in my eyes.. PERSONAL RESPONSIBILITY.. Blame game must stop.. Likewise governments must stop using 'speed' and 'power' as excuses for accidents, I'd most certainly rather be in my Skyline than the VL in a road accident if I had the choice... 210kw vs 97kw??? So, the Nissan is just a much better car, beter grip, handling, balance ect... If speed and power were so fatal... I dare ask the question, why isn't the entire population of Germany not yet dead??? Autobahnen must be more fatal than organ failure by the sounds of it...

did it 5 times! DO IT PPL!

Yep, personal responsibiliy is #1, as dezz said, if you smoke Malboros and die from emphasemia as a result of seeing a badge on the side of a racing car, then good riddance to you if you couldn't help yourself and make the correct judgement.. Blame game is too easy..

lawl...

LolAge..

away with what get you say?

Drifting in the grid demo was awesome... my best effort was 13,000,000 something points..

Raikkonen = Awesome D00D!

I've already invested the lion-share of my savings, it is Skyline time brah!

Any pics of this?? Anyone know of somewhere in Perth where I could get a decent Jap muffler & dump pipe???

Why should the fact I do country driving make a difference in this regard???

It was the stupid reporter's clipboard that did it... Meh, Kimster ftmfw!

lol soz... It is teh stress..

G'day... Finally I'm in a position to spend some moolah on the 'line.. Looking a squeezing a few more kw out of her (more fun) before I go onto handling, although, suspension/brakes/ect are all still very high on the list. I thought I'd just post this and get some feed back form those that have 'been there and done that'.. Now, firstly I'm looking at getting it intercooled.. Autoworx does the Greddy Spec-M kits for a grand installed.. Looks good to me, never been a fan of china kits. However, I've heard they are bar and plate, which is an older design for intercoolers... Is this true? It is worth even thinking about? Worse performance??? Also, I drive an R34, I've been told by some that I'll need to cut my fan blades/shroud and engine cover anyway, however others have told me you dont.. Has anyone here got any photos or reccomendations for their installation?? Secondly, exhaust, I've been trying very diligently to get a hold of a Kakimoto N1 mega, however, he lack of availability is making this an impossible option, I've now looking at either a Greddy PEII once again, or sourcing myself a Kakimoto Regu-6 muffler and getting Kermit to fit me a custom turbo-back... I've heard some wonderful reviews about Kermit's work, can anyone make any other suggestions... Also, what sort of cat coverter should I get? Catco? Metalcat?? I've got an Apexi PFC, Z32 AFM and plug, so I'm set there.. I've also currently got splitfires installed.. Few other points. Pod filter or no? Box the pod or leave as is??

Petronas??

What, every time he takes a race win??? It it like him saying "This is my best victory yet" or "My best win of my career".. Like every win gets better and better, more like his own head getting bigger and bigger, soon his noggin won't fit in his helmet..

Hands up for those that want capital/corporal punishment back... *raises hand*

Oh noes! D00D!
