  1. Teh Great Northern in Chatswood. My lasting memory of the night, thinking it was a good idea to try and walk home before giving up and catching a cab by the time I got to Roseville
  2. I'm interested
  3. http://www.rta.nsw.gov.au/licensing/gettin.../200707_p2.html Yeah, navigated there using google from work... In either case, it doesn't really matter... As 4teecal said, while the information on the RTA website should be accurate we should probably count it as not
  4. I took my quote directly from the RTA website. One could argue that an institution as efficient as the RTA may or may not update there site that often though My suggestion to the original poster... if you want a cheap and fast car look towards a MR2 or MX-5. With some suspension upgrades these cars absolutely fly, not to mention they won't need the strict maintenance schedule a turbo car should have
  5. The point to point speeding thingy for the M7 has been a rumour ever since the M7 became operational I can confirm policeman officers do set up speed traps on the M7 though
  6. Spotted a Purple/Blue R34 4 door GT with red P plates in between Lithgow and Mudgee. Was a passenger in a certain dark grey Magna
  7. Isn't peripheral porting a 13b modifying the engine? If so than it's no good I'm afraid Also, have you seen Druncan's JDM Micra Superturbo? That thing is cool
  8. P platers can't drive vehicles with "Modifications that increase engine performance" Not that this stops them lol
  9. Sorry to say, but your daily driver sounds like it isn't P plater legal either
  10. The suspension is however long it is when you lose all your points... I don't remember the exact value of the fine but it is in excess of $600. It is a 7 point demerit. To prove you have QLD residency you will need a QLD licence. To prove you have residency I imagine you will need some paperwork proving you live in QLD like a bank statement in your name or something... I don’t imagine a policeman officer accepting anything other than a QLD licence should one pull you over. From what I have heard it is easy to get the exemption if you have a legitimate requirement to drive a prohibited vehicle. If you don't have a legitimate requirement, you won't get an exemption. If you want a fast P plater vehicle, look into a V35 350GT. More powerful, economical and comfortable than a R33 GTS-t. School holidays ftmfw!
  11. I have seen the camera on Pennant Hills/Beecroft Rd flash randomly a couple of times now, I guessed that it might do speed now. I'm pretty sure this system is already in place in the ACT
  12. CAMS L2S licence costs around $100 and last 12 months and is valid at most tracks/events as far as I know. You CAN get a L2NS for around $50, but then you are limited to drifting and events like Texi Fire extinguisher you can get from Autobarn or similar for around $30 - $40.
  13. Aren't catalytic converters a consumable item, ie they wear out? If you find a 15 year old cat will it give the right value to pass emissions? I'd do some research before buying someone's dodgy cat
  14. I'm sorry mate, but threads like this one usually get locked pretty quickly. Read this to find out why! I'd suggest a tuner, but having a standard car means I let the standard ECU tune itself
  15. Nah, entering the boat with the original and mangled front bar, now with only 1 black fog / indicator surround But now that you mention it... I know a person with a red R33 and a blue R33...
  16. I hit a possum on the weekend and it took out my passenger side indicator / fog light surround, it adds character I'm pretty much aiming for worst in show without going to lengths like "taking to my car with a fire extinguisher"
  17. I currently drive my R33 on these roads and I do it relatively comfortably if the road isn't muddy and has been graded regularly. Only issue is the tyres that I have on my car are shit on dirt... literally like driving on marbles. I imagine coil overs and neg camber are only going to make this worse. In fact, I'm willing to say I take my R33 bush than most people in Sydney take there 4WDs This is the kind of response I was after, my R33 scrapes a few driveways at standard ride hight and I don't want a car that is worse! Thanks There seems like there are a lot of people politely suggesting I reconsider a CVT model... perhaps a little more research is in order on my part, and not just the cost of servicing and/or replacement... Though I'm still thinking that it will be like any other car where a thrashed one will break and one that hasn't been thrashed will break some time after the thrashed one, though I need to remind myself that CVT isn't exactly conventional
  18. I have considered it, but one of my criteria is price... unless I get one imported (which I am considering...) I can only afford the 350GT-8. Also, my concern isn't that great. I throw about $200 worth of gearbox oil into my R33 every 12 months, $800 every 100,000km is a little more but if that is what I have to pay then I will have to pay it. Major fear would be the gearbox failure, which I would imagine would be uncommon as the cars aren't 11ty years old and (hopefully) have had relatively easy lives. But back to the subject, if it rides too low for my liking I won't buy ANY V35, be it CVT, auto, manual or Fred Flintstone style. Would probably go a WRX or an Aristo
  19. For some time now I have been considering buying a daily car to cruise around, and the V35 350GT-8 filled my criteria and budget. I am aware of the gearbox expenses associated with the CVT models. Unfortunately this has only made me wary so I'm now after another issue that might knock it out of my "daily shitbox" list What I am after is the standard ride height of the car... if possible in comparison to a standard R33 (what I currently have ) Reason being my R33 is all well and good at the moment but I imagine the days where I would drive along a dirt road in the bush without a second thought are coming to an end So please post up figures, experiences bottoming out, stories about smashing front bars or how I am a retard for choosing a V35 4 door
  20. It is an R33. R33s are boats. Boats do the water thing fine
  21. I will more than likely be wondering around with a camera, I don't see a reason why I can't help people out while doing this
  22. It doesn't have a clutch fluid reservoir
  23. but I didn't enter best engineering...
  24. Now it is my turn to be abnoxious Anyone confirm that my entry has been received? I put ten dowra in SAU capitalist money pile and emailed Comrade Food Rd the form
  25. Sounds almost like DJ Brave
