hmmm...estimated travel time? don't know if i could convince my other half to stay overnight...

last night i re-read the autosalon article with brian el hassan. it's a pretty glowing interview, talking about an "eclectic arsenal" of cars. at one point, el hassan says "why spend all that money on a car and not drive it to enjoy it?". and when i think about all the heartache on this forum and others from stolen cars, the interview really pisses me off. and amid the "you're so grat", "you're so good for the scene", at no point does the interviewer ask, "so how the fk can you afford all these cars?".

oh ta wrxhoon, that's great. i'll check on it tomorrow. yes mumbo i'm talking about the friction point - but the other thing is that there's no gradient of pressure, so at one point there's nothing and the next centimetre it's on full. i also have no experience using it!

mine is an OS Giken twin plate. lots of rattles at idle and about one centimetre of uptake. Not sure though if the Nismo slave will fit! Nor where to get it! Nissan maybe? Hmm....

thanks heaps, sewid!

...or move the parts to a place that doesn't scan for them. would be good to have the full thing as the first 10 mins cover damon's carjacking thing. the show basically starts with a nissan skyline!

I remember an article on damon dupriez's carjacking incident in autosalon maybe a year ago. coincidentally not long after there was an article about brian el hassan's new car in another mag.

is anyone still doing this at all?

thanks heaps for this, wrxhoon. my twin plate clutch comes on real sudden so your post will really help me out. cheers.

They always repeat Four Corners later in the week so maybe keep an eye on yourtv.com.au if you missed it. It's kind of funny how some of the people or groups lauded in 'the scene' in all the magazines and dvds aren't so innocent. leaves a bad taste in my mouth.

holy sh*t did you guys see that? definitely scary viewing...and relevant. i think they are going to repeat the story, but the transcript is here: http://www.abc.net.au/4corners/content/2006/s1672334.htm

good stuff, keen to see pix!

Hi y'all, Four Corners tonight is looking at car theft in Australia. It's on at 830m ABC. Site is: http://www.abc.net.au/4corners/content/2006/s1670135.htm Cheers, Sig

Could someone please check: 6U9000BNR32309705 thanks heaps!

woah charlie, not quite. it depends on how the condition precedent was formed and worded. given the case, i'm afraid we don't have enough information on whether the condition was presented as a condition of contract, or a precedent. if the OP wants the car, he should argue that it was a condition. it would be in the seller's interest to argue that it was a precedent. that said, yes you are correct that the invitation to treat doesn't confer a binding contract, but at the same time we can't say that a contract existed merely because of a given precedent (or even set of precedents). we simply don't have enough information about the process of events, nor the intention to create relations. on a personal note, while many say that a verbal contract "is not worth the paper on which it's written", i always use such verbal agreements as a litmus test of the other party's intention and integrity. some weeks ago i found a suitable gtr - after lengthy discussion i agreed to buy the car, and the seller agreed to sell it to me. when i called back the next day to finalise bank cheque details, he said he'd already sold it. i saw this as an indicator of how he handled his transactions: if he was prepared to be fluid about the sale, what else (perhaps about the car itself) was he prepared to fudge?

what cowie said!

i am pretty sure that jaycar makes an inline circuit kit to recalibrate your speedo. that's all the details i have though.

mods will probably move your post to the right forum. sorry, can't help you with the problem, though, sorry.

i guess i'd just reiterate that the afm could still be to blame, at least in part - if the circuit board inside the housing is cracked, the circuit could still complete at certain times (e.g. going round a corner). mine was like that too.

looks like the skyline is obscured in that first pic by asuzuki vitara. same in the second pic except there's two of them! clearly the second two pix are just errors.

lol this happened the other night in curtin: me: hey check that one out my girlfriend: is that a.......................................................................stagea? me: FUG YES!!!!!!!!!!!! i was so proud lol

>Spotted a nice black 350Z with a smashed front right quarter in Tuggeranong Actually, it wasn't Contempt, was it??

sorry mate, i'm not there any more. trust me, i wish i was! this should change soon, though. (soonish, anyway)

spotted a white r34 this morning near Lady Denman drive.

well i don't know as much about NSW, but out of your list i think the only thing that isn't defectable is the alarm. by the way, i think you should remove the name of the alarm from the list. if it isn't stock, it's defect material. the intercooler and exhaust may be the only things that stick out, but they're all that's needed for the cop to pull you over and see what other goodies you might have. that doesn't mean you will get pulled over as there is a difference between theory and practice. but as i say i'm no expert on NSW and hopefully someone else who knows more than me can help out.
