  1. i would steer well clear of Minolta as I am forever hearing stories of poor build quality and even poorer customer support. I am also not real big on Ricoh, However Nikon is great and Olympus is seriously worth considering. Very good quality lenses, excellent product support, Affordable , good quality. Look at the Mju range they are really good value.. Most of the cameras they sell now can have an underwater case fitted to them as well..For the sort of thing you sound like you are after you can pick up for well under $500
  2. Yep the FTO definately looks like Mal Meninga took took one angry kick at the Ass end of it...shocking looking things they are
  3. Surprisingly most of the Commo hoons out blacktown way that I have encountered are not P platers.. Usually its the guy in his mid 30s-40 going through a major mid life crisis. And this is his fix dragging off guys like me in my wifes auto 1.6 N13 pulsar....
  4. i guess that different manufacturers are popular for different suburbs. Blacktown area its definately wankers in POS commodores. You know the type, usually wearing the HRT Cap, HRT Polo shirt with the collar up ( WTF is it with that ? ) And I am guessing matching HRT G string as well... Of course gotta have the HRT sticker on the window, Anyhow wanker Commo driver is at the lights in his full retard outfit ( see above ) As I was coasting toward the lights I could see they were changing so rather than stop I coasted to the lights and flew through as they went green... Well Wanka Commo driver in his 6 litre 285 kw HSV must have got really pissed by this. Because he must have wheelspun the whole intersection,Shifted at rev limit, Chirped 2nd hard just so he could beat me.... Like i was really trying to race him...FFS I could get out and run faster than that pulsar
  5. Yes not a good feeling... i sold my R32 as had I have kept it an engine rebuild would have been on the to do list.. plan was to buy an R32 GTR...2 years later still no line....! Financial hardships due to homeloan keeping me broke.As well as a baby that entered this world...However there is light at the end of the tunnel..House has been on the market for some time....Hopefully a buyer talking my kind of dollars will come real soon..Cheaper smaller house + Skyline GTR = Happy me
  6. Sounds like brake pads...That noise should be worse when you apply the brakes. Thonly other thing it could be is a seized wheel bearing ( unlikely - but possible ) I had one go on my old N13 pulsar...The vibrations that put throught the car....Shitbox..Get it fixed ASAP as you dont want to shred those discs
  7. This is the NSX-R...As far as I am aware their was only a small amount of these made.. What did the regular NSX run if anybody knows...? NSX-R is 120 kg lighter.... Thinner windscreen, lower gearing and unofficially more power too
  8. it has been done before ... But personally I think you would be better off spending less and setting a GTST up for it...Much cheaper
  9. amazing how they were able to get in, disable all security systems without any video surveillance capturing anything at all. Sounds to me like somebody really knew the place inside and out quite well before this was orchestrated. Either a shonky worker their or shonky electrical contractor who installed it all..Something is very fishy here
  10. No mate I wasnt referring to your request of a smash repairer as being stupid... I was referring to my question possibly being stupid ( If you were aware at the time of truck turning laws- which you were )....You would be surprised just how many people DONT know that trucks can lane share...So knowing this it would have been a stupid question but to a person who isnt aware ? Maybe not so stupid a question....Hope that clarifies things....Now that you have explained the situation a little more I am starting to visualise it better.
  11. No mate when i said stupid question I wasnt refferring to your request of a smash repairer... I was illustrating the question that I asked in regards to the possibility of the truck being not at fault....But as you said this isnt the case
  12. does unwired have coverage in your area ? I used to use them and they arent too bad
  13. They say that racing improves the breed but one thing i could never understand about Honda was that they spent so much time and money on Development on Turbos for F1 but didnt touch it with a 10 ft pole for the road cars......very odd
  14. mate this is a really stupid ( but relevant ) Question....Are you 100% sure that he is legally at fault ? Reason why I ask is that some people are unaware ( or ignorant of ) the fact that heavy vehicles can lane share when cornering, even as far as turn from the middle lane ( onto a left Corner )...Any vehicle that may come up the inside is deemed to be at fault..Its the Do not overtake turning vehicle rule... Now I am not accusing you of this ( Dont get me wrong here ) As only you know exactly what happened..I hope this isnt what happened
  15. apparently the old corrolla ( AE71 - I think ) can be made to drift really well without going overboard spending... Drop a 4AGZE into it and if that aint fast enough turf the supercharger and turbo it. As far as I am aware the Hilux diff and gearbox isnt to hard to install..
  16. A lot of those mobile repair dudes you see in shopping centres will make a snack of that. I had a similar problem with my N70..for some reason the on/off button stopped working. I always had it on so it didnt bother me.But when i flew to QLD and had to switch it off when boarding. ( battery out ) Well the phone was useless up their. Took it to one of those phone repair dudes. He replaced the switch in under half an hour for less than $75 ...I was happy...never had problems since
  17. Very risky however...i used to work for an express air freight company..The amount of stuff that customs seized at buyers loss is unbelievable.Basically the buyer pays the freight cost here, When its rejected by AU customs they have the option of having it destroyed or paying freight ( again ) to return to sender.Who dont really want product back anyway. Mostly protein powders believe it or not.. Apparently their is some enzyme in them which is legal in the US but illegal here.. I am sure their are some that will comply.. But the sight of an industrial dump bin filled with Protein powders used to bring a tear to my eye.
  18. Yeah I can also recall hearing something very much along the same lines as that. Apparently GM is in serious financial strife, Small jap and Euro car sales are killing the local market. I seen this on some TV program, But as you said...Apparently job confidence is a at an all time low..Didnt they just post a record loss of $38.7 billion for 2007 ? Biggest ever loss for an Automaker in history ? Apparently Ford US isnt in that much better a position....Very interesting indeed
  19. Correct me if I am wrong but isnt their one of these for sale at the European Car specialist on Parramatta rd ? A yellow one ...?....Great looking machine
  20. I would like to believe it would be so easy for Honda. But I believe they will struggle. They arent using the mid engine platform in the new NSX as far as I am aware. I believe it to be a front engine V10 with AWD..I dont believe that this combo will allow them to be lighter than the GTR. Sure the older Hondas were pretty lightweight cars but even they have porked up. Look at the latest civic type R...Its considerably heavier than even the integras were... With technology comes weight unfortunately.... I am hoping for Mazda to bring out an Ass kicking RX7....Dont know if its planned however
  21. i wonder if your oil pump just crapped itself....? Either way this aint gonna be cheap
  22. Mate seriously....You are legend.. Australia needs more people like you.Well done for at least having a go
  23. I understand just fine what you are saying, And no I am not a new arrival. However this isnt a case of dobbing in a workmate/collegue etc. This is a person who can potentially kill ! Very big difference now. Just a little judgement on the situation is required. Obviously if it was something petty like burnouts, illegal mods then fair enough you would be right in what you are saying. This woman is a timebomb on wheels ready to blow..I credit the guy for at least attempting to do something about it
  24. You obviously just dont get it do you.....? Of course he wouldnt fly out of his car and stop it from happening...However he would have been an eyewitness to the event, my have been abto to call ambulance etc if required... Now personally I wouldnt go right out of my way to follow... However if I was travelling in that general direction then yeah I may tag along for a bit to report to police...
  25. Quote : Dobbing her in is UnAustralian....This is my only gripe here..As for following her well maybe thats asking for trouble on the drivers behalf as she may have caught onto what he was doing....But to say dobbing her in being Unaustralian...?
