  1. Lol! Scotty's Customs; Fabricating high performance BBQ's and badass Stageas...
  2. Been hearing sirens all day today; they must've been smashing the corner today. Should've sent Shell for a drive; "Move along officer; nothing to see here"... Stats from Blue Mountains LAC FB page; Traffic & HWP Police with the assistance of other police performing duties in the Blue Mountains LAC have been visible and busy on our roads. Day 1 results: - 755 Random Breath Tests performed (nil positive results) - 46 Speeding offences detected - 16 other offences detected - 1 x Seat belt restraint offence detected. Stay Safe and be patient with dickheads over the long weekend. Keep the cash in your own pockets.
  3. Explain the "Side Slip" test?
  4. What necessitated the rebuild?
  5. Internet forums contain the full spectrum of people; it's inevitable that bad things will happen, and it's naive to think that everyone is trustworthy. Given this was resolved with a successful outcome; perhaps it would be an idea to edit the title of this thread, or even lock it; so that it doesn't keep arriving at the top of the page with a negative spin on Tangents trustworthiness.
  6. And pizza shops everywhere go bankrupt.
  7. Lol, I think it's because of the invisible bunky 323. The look on my face as she was retelling the story must've been priceless; I refused to drive her car for about 3 months after that. She's got my number; I can't get one past... It's not all bad, she did order me to buy a new motorbike a couple of years ago; apparently I'm a grumpy f**ker when I don't have one.
  8. Yep; the only farts I want to smell on my way to work are my own.
  9. Same; my commute would take 2.5 hours each way on public transport, versus 50- 70 min by car. Also, it would cost $20 p/w more in train & bus tickets than driving. No brainer.
  10. True Terry; the Police guidelines regarding speed enforcement clearly state that their vehicle MUST be positioned ON the roadway where they are doing enforcement, yet repeatedly they hide their vehicles in side streets to avoid line of sight, and potential loss of revenue due to people seeing them, noticing they are speeding and slowing; thus reducing revenue. They also sit in the turning lanes on the centre island through Blaxland shops on GWH. Rather ironically the guidelines were introduced after many public complaints about questionable behaviour, and an emerging cynicism about the true motives of speed enforcement. They regularly park illegally (within 3 metres of an intersection and blocking the footpath) on a street corner near our house. It actually looks like they are getting ready to pull out onto the GWH, but they never do. It shits me to tears, because if you did happen go around them, and they were in a mood; they could easily fine you. My partner pulled up behind them and waited with her blinker on (with the officer waving her around the HWP car), until the officer actually got out and came back to her car. The officer told her to move on, and she actually told him he was parked illegally, unsafely & was blocking the intersection. He got back in his car & left. Later that week she was on foot with our young son, and there he was again; same guy, blocking the footpath, so she knocked on his window and asked him if he thought it was safe or legal to park so close to the street corner, and completely block the footpath to a mother with a small child. Asked if he thought it was a good example to set to a young boy? I think the penny dropped and he realised who she was and moved on yet again. Every time they are sitting there, she pulls up behind them; every time they leave. She thinks it's hilarious. NO FARKIN' WAY am I gonna try it.
  11. Let him sort the rego; and cover green slip/ rego cost for him. That way you don't get stuck with any potential issues to sort.
  12. Best of luck with medical issues too, never a nice thing to see.
  13. I like to be happy in other people's pants.
  14. Even while it's killing you.
  15. Anything that makes a spark; generates ozone. Ozone generators are filled with thousands of tiny conductive filaments inside tubes, and high voltage electricity is fed into them. This creates a corona-like effect; Basically like lightning in a bottle. The resulting ozone is drawn off by a fan. Fun fact No.2; Ozone is extremely toxic, and heavier than air. If trapped in an enclosed space, it displaces oxygen and can kill. This is why commercial sized Ozone generators are almost always outdoors. Fun Fact No.3; Ozone is is extremely corrosive. It will eat through 316l stainless tube.
  16. The 370Z runs a 355x32mm front rotor; it's bloody huge (and heavy), and will struggle to fit under a 17". It runs an almost identical disc offset to the R32 GTR, so if you can get the right bracket you might be able to sort it with a Sumitomo caliper. But I suspect it will be tough to get the rotor deep enough into the caliper to get full pad contact.
  17. I might bring my 4 year old; he can show you how to ride it. Actually; he's not interested unless it has less than 3 wheels. "That's a baby bike dad" He knows. ;-)
  18. That's what she said...
  19. And by etch primer; I mean pink.
  20. Of course mate; just need to glue one together for you. I was just going to supply yours in etch primer.
  21. I'd talk to the panel shop you are using for paint; if you're going to this much trouble, I expect you'd be investing some serious dough in a respray.
  22. Yep, ready to go. Where are you located?
  23. Soda blasting is much more gentle on panels than conventional "sand"blasting. I've even heard of a form of media blasting that uses crushed walnut shells. They reckon they can strip individual layers of paint, and even leave body filler intact. They also claim that they can strip areas without having to completely disassemble a car. The advantage with soda blasting, is that the residue can be washed out as it dissolves. http://advancedsodablasting.com/?gclid=CNWBlpibyrcCFUdfpgod7F8AAw
  24. Just get a mobile strut re-gas contractor out to recharge them? It costs $80 and takes 20 mins. Save your time & effort for something useful.
  25. Alex is correct, they are 30mm.The only 32mm rotors are the 296x32mm R32 GTR rotors.
