  1. video of the hoons being bashed "was found guilty in Wangaratta Magistrates' Court " For some reason i read that as Wallangarra. Wasn't any sort of weird trail fixing afterall.
  2. I might be able to do it, can't be any harder than modeling something like this...
  3. Is there any difference in interior paneling/shape between gts and gtr at all for any series? r34's maybe?
  4. I was about to link that site. Guy who made it really knows his cars, I love his Cedric. On a slight tangent, my favorite Datsun of the 60's would have to be the Silvia's though. Such a nice looking car.
  5. Reminds me of this, however there's no ERD sticker on the car in that picture so it is probably not the same.
  6. Does Toyota even actually have an existing engine that could be used in a N/S arrangement in a car anymore anyway? Bearing in mind that it would have to meet EURO V (or whatever it is they're upto) emissions standards, so even something that was in production even a handful of years ago is probably not viable now.
  7. For some reason i seem to have got confused and thought it was a joint project then. That being said the fact that subaru is selling the car too also makes it seem like more than just a supply agreement. Or is toyota the only manufacturing of the chassis? And... them making a light well handling car with a perfectly fine subaru engine in it is a cop out? Its like complaining that the R35 doesn't use a RB...
  8. Question: are you dead set on a r34? consider a r33/32. Some amazingly cheap r33 gtr's can be had. Heck you could probably buy 2 good condition r33 gtr's for 50K (not including stamp duty and insuring them of course)
  9. The car isn't just a Toyota with a Subaru engine in it, the entire thing is a joint effort between the two companies. That's why. Only reason we're not getting the Subaru version is because Subaru Australia refuses to sell anything non AWD.
  10. I'm still interested in how much it'll cost. Some people are raving on about how i'tll be shit because it'll be in the same price bracket as a 370z... which seems to high to me.
  11. Your going to commute with it anyway, so what's the problem? Just save up for a turbo skyline weekend car, that's the way to go. Because even if you pick up a nice wrx or whatever "fun" car you want to get, you'll start regretting putting so many kilometers on it every week after a month.
  12. Get someone else to teach him on an auto licence, get him to do his full 3 years of P's and a year on his opens, then teach him... That's what's worked for me and my mate at least. Luckily he doesn't fit in the skyline though. I honest to god would be scared at the thought of having to teach someone from scratch how to drive, obey the road rules etc though. My parents got me started off driving in a bush basher on a property back when i was a kid so it wasn't that bad for them, can't imagine how someone who's never touched a car in their life would go for the first time on a road.
  13. So um... where the heck is the rain? i'm looking at you BoM...
  14. I remember one of our first year speakers who was a civil engineer (before the engineering streams split off), said that his first project was a bridge somewhere on the bruce highway or something. Not exactly his proudest creation.
  15. would be about 5K a year for the 52 flights you'd need to, take out tax as well and your probably up 10K, which isn't bad at all. How the hell does anyone get any work done on those things? I'd rather bring in my own monitor instead of use those sort of things.
  16. If they are going to replace 'em make sure they get you a 16:10 monitor at least. mate of mine has a 27" one, and its not a bad amount of space at all.
  17. Its on the 10th right? nothing in the post that mentions what date its on.
  18. Anyone know any other cheap tyre places? not a fan of paying an extra 25 bucks a Tyre for 215/45/17's (235's wont fit on my rims on the front)
  19. Its only illegal once you've done it and they decide its bad? like discovering some kind of system on the horses...
  20. To be fair, 10 guys rocking up, buying maybe 7-8 products isn't putting a dent in their business. they run an ice cream shop next to a uni in Brisbane. Heck even in winter they had some busy nights.
  21. Wouldn't mind trying this towoong carpark dealio, but i guess getting everyone to find the place could be an issue. meet somewhere else and drive there at 8 or something?
  22. Springwood macca's 8:15 is where a few people are meeting.
