  3. both my gf and her brother went there! small world.
  4. innovation theory will say: - designers don't innovate when something is selling - designers innovate when sales risk or are dropping many literature sources for this.

  6. yeah same - i need a g-sensor and one or two interior bits (e.g. jesus handles)
  7. NOT KELSO IN BATHURST???????????????????
  8. good work as always cowie. i always hate hearing about bad things happening to good people. there are several tpa clauses that come to mind, e.g. ss. 70, 72, parts of 74. the standout in this case is s60. a particularly bright corp lawyer could then herd the defendant into doing something silly in s85. but as with so many such actions (including the excerpt quote above) the key is establishing intention and, preferably, performance. before bringing any action i would think very carefully about the degree to which the defendant could establish these better than i could.
  9. soon we'll be putting this kind of thing into the sau wiki.
  10. spotted a black r33 with a nasty dent on driver's side rear quarter, this afternoon in woden.
  11. geez, great faq. i know how hard it is to write one of these! mega well done. only note, how are you specifying width for your paragraph tables? i'm finding the text goes over the edge of the screen in firefox (19" screen at 1024x768).
  12. yeah ok i'll tell you what ticks me off. we were in town the other night getting some takeaway. we get back to the car and there in front of us, this kid is reverse parking. he smacks into the car behind him TWICE (and not gentle bumps, either - there were dents). and then he walked off. then the other night some wanker steals our wheely bin.
  13. my 2c on this - i used to like speed, not so much because of the magazine itself, but because it reminded editors of other mags that there was some competition in the market. when speed went away, we lost a lot more than just another news outlet. - hpi is no longer worth it, to my mind. the sections i enjoy most are the project buildups, the diy, the tech letters bits and lastly the car writeups: mostly, i liked it best when the editors and authors went to town with their own knowledge. - the 'product reviews' make me feel a bit of a dunce. in every case i've seen, they're not just shallow ads, it's obvious that the content is also written and supplied by the workshop themselves. uh, ok. - i do not believe that product reviews must necessarily involve bias. it isn't the nature of the beast at all. have a flick through a music mag like Q or mojo and check the number of one and two star reviews. they have a huge readership because people know the mag can be trusted. the same goes for music and restaurant reviews: every now and then you have to provide a negative review to keep the readers thinking you're honest. so in the end, that comes down to... - who do the editors want to satisfy? sorry, but there is no way i'd be advertising my own workshop in my own mag. i want my readers to see me as reliable and impartial. if the consumer stops buying the mag, the workshops won't be interested at all.
  14. very interesting thread, this. cheers.
  15. same as beer baron for my 15yo.
  16. yeah i think mr italy has it right. very nice.
  17. waitaminute - is the chaser a creamy colour?? with nice rims and big zorst?
  18. well i can't tell without seeing it but: a. risking is a certified nissan mastertech and b. you say someone recently did some work on the transfer case without knowing if your control unit led is flashing, i'd say it's a good bet.
  19. solved it - i had a corrupt firefox profile, fixed it using this link: http://kb.mozillazine.org/Standard_diagnostic_-_Firefox
  20. >you will need a computer half the size of your bonnet. and we can see how impractical that would be with this scientific demonstration: we can't even shut the bonnet!
  21. things you own end up owning you
  22. >why is it unreliable? have you used a laptop before? do you realise and ECU is a computer without a screen? er...many of the electronics we use today are, in vague terms, 'computers without screens' (e.g. microwave, dvd recorder etc). but i would much rather trust a dedicated device to handle my car than a laptop ('specially one running something like XP). >by the way if you disconect the laptop no one can steal your car. sure they can. flatbed truck.
  23. >aparrently everything is fine according to the control unit what does this mean? no flashes? could the control unit be stuffed? have you tested the resistance and voltage across the control unit/harness/g sensors? could it be that somewhere something is firing the g-sensor with greater voltage? hope you sort it out mate - my attesa is also stuffed so i do understand btw if you find a spare g sensor, let me know
