  1. What a raping :D It's ridiculous to think everyone will be able to afford anywhere near what they seem to be pushing through at the moment, I really hope it does get pulled because if a change of exhaust is all it takes to have to go through this experience then a whole lot of cars & people are in trouble...

    And Nic, pull your head in & don't make stupid abusive or offensive posts in the future please. Yes you have a point to consider but you're not going the right way about getting it across.

    It is not getting pulled, and wont be. It is being postponed, until they sort out a better process (No 4wd testing facilities at all for example). Lets face it, we have been getting away without a lot of these emission laws that are enforced in other countries, it was only a matter of time before we caught up and its here to stay.

  2. Ahh ok. With my old brushed motor I was using the white PVC plumbing pipe over the top of my rubber tyres (found it was too harsh mounting ABS straight onto the rims).

    I then got myself a Castle Creations 5700kV brushless setup for Xmas and it was WAY too much for the shitty old TT01 chassis.. so got myself a HPI Pro-D chassis.

    The power of the brushless is ridiculous, even just on a 7.2V NiMH stick pack.. I have since found that the rubber "drift" tyres that come with the TT01D kit work the best for my setup, heaps of traction when needed but when you squeeze the throttle on there's heaps of wheelspin :/ Srsly, with this motor it's almost like the old motor on the plastic tyres!

    I find with the proper rubber tyres it's a lot nicer to control and isn't so much like skating on ice.. only downside is they come pre-glued to WRX style rims :P

    When I've got some spare cash (that isn't being spent on the 32 or paintball), I'll get some nice rims and try some proper racing slicks (hardish compound).. and maybe a 3S LiPo pack if I can find one that will fit in the chassis :laugh:

    How do you find the pro-d chassis? I was going to put a brushless setup in my hpi e10 but like the tt-01 i dont think it will handle the power...so thinking of upgrading chassis as well

  3. ok ok, so reading through this, alot about the 350z which isn't being argued about. And your on a skyline forum, asking whether or not the god of skylines (r35 not being considered a skyline) compares to the 370z?

    nuff said.

    Something about that picture doesnt look right? Looks like a model that someone has imposed over the background. Im not saying it is, it just doesnt look right to me

  4. Ive been using linux at work (and at uni beforehand) and i like it a lot better than windows for most things.

    I still dont use it at home simply for software/driver support. And cos i havnt been bothered putting it on.

    But its 100% more stable for everything i do, considering doing dual boot for my normal internet wastage.

  5. yeh i know its not a c35 but its still a laurel we do have them in aus clearly

    Dropped on your head lately? Lol...

    I rekon it would be worth bringing over for sure, assuming its rb25det. Nice car, would have bought one instead of the aristo if they were available in aus

  6. thats pretty good,

    im 21 and live in the outer suburbs so it shouldnt be too bad. my mate has an aristo and he pays $900 a year for full comp with a written off car on his record and he is 22 so im hoping it will be similar to that or just a bit more because i have no crashes or speeding fines on my record

    Their initial quote was close to 1200 but i did the add-excess crap to get it under 1k, seeing as i had to pay it up front :P

    But good thing about them is they only count accidents in the past 3 years, most are 5. Since my accident was over 3 years ago now, im counted as accident free (and 30% no-claim i think).

    But yeh i think just cars will be your only bet, or shannons if your very lucky. Although since the aristo is "twin turbo" they freak out about that, so you should be fine.

  7. Far out this is happening more and more.

    And this is the reason i dont go around advertising what car i own, what mods its got or where i live. I wouldnt be suprised if this sort of information from forums and the like is used to target certain cars (especially more stand out cars like the rx7).

    Hope its recovered mate, and hopefully people will learn to get bloody insurance!

  8. Im really enjoying this game. I havnt even started the single player game, online is where its at. There are a lot more places to camp which is frustrating for me (cos i hate camping) but all in all i love the game.

    They should have just left out vehicles cos that ruins half the maps. Takes 4 bazooka shots (sometimes more) to kill a tank which is a load of crap.

    I dont think il go back to playing cod4 all the time, although i would have liked it if they released a heap more maps and did a few tweaks to COD4.

  9. while we are on the topic, what about manually down-gearing?

    As in its in drive, slowing down for a corner and push it into 2nd at around 50ks...

    Is this practise ok for auto-trannies?

    I usually drive with the over-drive off during normal <70km/hr driving. If i get on the freeway/highway then i engage overdrive (or 4th gear). In a manual you dont go into 5th when doing 50km/hr do you? How would putting overdrive on (or not turning it off) cause less engine wear?

  10. When a car is written off there are two types.

    1. Repairable write-off, which can be repaired and registered.

    2. Total write off (lol total isnt the word i cant remeber what it is), but it cant be rego'd.

    If your thinking of buying a written off car, it would do you well to find out which of the two occurred.
