type "driving fail" into failblog.org and review the 7 pages of results. maybe we should outlaw driving too?

????? how the hell did you draw that conclusion?! in the world of betting, if something is more likely to win (in this case, Labour, according to those odds), they are worth less in a payout. conversely, those who are more likely to lose, attract a better payout, because there's les chance that it will happen. Going by those odds, Liberal is paying better, therefore the bookies have deemed them less likely to win. i said that it was depressing, looking that odds that are so far apart. if it was labout 1.50 to liberal 1.70 i'd be a bit more hopeful. PR! ACTUAL public relations, not charity cruises that get 5 lines in the corner of the third last page in a newspaper (not that charity cruises aren't good, but you can't go to a charity cruise and try and leverage PR from it. You're meant to be giving the PR to the chairty.) you start with an organised body who are united by a common cause, with a common goal and are willing to do something about it. you create a definitive set of guidelines that these members will abide by and you create a public presence based on those actions. you take the Ghandi approach to everything that is thrown your way, until people start talking about you, then you start throwing your message out there. it really is not that hard. it just requires good people, time, money and a bit of dedication. generally those four are found on forums too, but not all in the one place.

i wrote a massive reply and then lost it vr4nut on ns.com summed up what i was saying pretty well though: http://nissansilvia.com/forums/index.php?s...t&p=5653836 if you want something nice and depressing, here's the current odds on the liberals winning the election: http://www.sportingbet.com.au/uipub/sport....mp;l3id=1250700 Does anyone know where I can go to find out exactly who i can vote for in my electorate?

lol, that's not a "good" method, it's a "barely satisfactory" method maybe unless you use removable zip ties so you don't have to buy new ones all the time

the law disarmed us of our proactive protection methods and then armed the police with reactive measures, that are somehow meant to do the same thing. now, we will NEVER have the chance to vote for those measures to be re-instated. if the choice came down to, "Abide by the law and regret for the rest of my life, the harm that came to a loved one." or "Make sure that my family is safe, even if my own freedom is lost." i don't think any free-thinking individual would have to think twice about which to choose. i am no conspiracy theorist, but every day i am watching perfectly reasonable freedoms being removed from us, for no good reason, mostly without our input. i am also noticing that the law only seems to keep in line those who abide by it. the amount of fear that is bred into perfectly normal, law abiding citizens, purely to keep them in line, is absolutely astounding. sometimes i worry that it will never get any better. life shouldn't be about fear.

has anyone else tried 98 from mobil? we've found that you use it about twice as quick as BP 98... we tried it when driving from Brisbane to adelaide, so same driving circumstances as all the other tanks of BP 98 we had...

I don't think i've ever bought anything of substance on impulse... yes, i'm boring

you could probably buy the plate for less than a spanner and bend that instead. jap wreckers would probably be your best bet. otherwise you could start asking around shops for anyone they might know who'd sell something like that. tbh, i'm kinda surprised there's not a good (esp. quick) method of r n r'ing bars and skirts, without the clamps on the outside...

exactly.

my apologies, i should have been a bit clearer. yes, that i what i was trying to say. it is absolutely ludicrous that crimes against the state attract such insane penalties. i wasn't arguing that they shouldn't attract any kind of penalty, but the penalties for these kind of victimless crimes are just not justified. car crushing is probably the best example. why should it be ok for the state to seize possession of potentially the most expensive piece of equipment you own and destroy it, despite the crime you committed having absolutely no impact on anything around you? more to the point, why would anyone with the power of rational and critical thinking, approve of such nonsense? FURTHER to the point, did you vote for this shift in law? did anyone vote for this shift in law?

and you're fine with that? more to the point, are you fine with the exorbitant fines and possible jail terms associated with committing a crime against the state? ie: a crime that hurt absolutely nobody?

if you have the cash available, i would go with the AWD system best of luck! i look forward to seeing how it goes

twas nice to meet you guys great run! thanks again to Ruby for organising it

the RB25 afm can only detect so much airflow. if you add more airflow (ie, more boost/bigger turbo), then you need to upgrade your AFM (Z32), or look at another alternative for measuring the extra airflow the RB25 one will get you a little ways yet though your turbo will run out of puff first

Two turtles decide to go camping out in the woods. So they pack their tent and an esky, with beer and sandwiches. They drive out into the wilderness, pitch their tent, start a fire, then decide to whip out a beer. "Ahh shit," says the first turtle, "We forgot the damn bottle opener." "No problems," says turtle two, "Just go home and grab it. I'll keep an eye on the camp site while you're gone." Turtle one looks at him and says, "No way! As soon as I leave, you're going to eat those f**king sandwiches. I am NOT leaving you alone with those sandwiches." "Nonsense!" says turtle two, "We came here to camp together! As if I'm going to eat the sandwiches while you're gone. Go get the damn bottle opener for christ's sake." So turtle one gets into the car and leaves. Two hours pass and turtle one hasn't returned yet. Turtle two keeps looking at the esky, reminding himself that he has to wait for his friend, who can't be too far away. Six hours have passed and turtle one still isn't back. Turtle two is starting to get pretty hungry. Turtle one surely can't be that far away, he must have got a flat or something, which he's taking his time with. So he turns his back to the esky to try and avert his hunger. A day has passed. "This is ridiculous. I'm going to have to eat the sandwiches so that I have enough energy to walk home. Where the hell is turtle one?" says turtle two. He opens the esky, pulls out the sandwiches, rips the cling wrap off and stares at the sandwich, as he brings it to his mouth, thinking about just how tasty it will be and how his hunger is finally going to go away, when turtle one jumps out from behind the tent and yells at him, "SEE! I KNEW IT! I KNEW YOU'D EAT THOSE f**kING SANDWICHES!"

replies in bold all of those would be great mods to have before a tune at the very least, most people say at least a free(er) flowing exhaust before tuning a stag.

i've been looking at the mongoose M60G. quite affordable now imho, comes with turbo timer. check out platinum ppi. used to be a sponsor on ns.com, not sure if they are on here. bought an m60 through them for my old s13 and were very good to deal with. http://www.platinumcarsecurity.com/Alarms.htm

cheers mate o rly?! am scoping specs now... thanks for the details about IT Warehouse too

hey guys, have just moved to sa (christies) from qld. just wondering, is MSY "it" for pc bits in sa? where i lived i had a choice of umart and msy, but msy were always ultra shithouse in terms of customer service and actually getting exactly the parts you were after... going to be chasing some i7 goodness in a few months i reckon! time to start researching again!

of course... it's the same with the war on speed. if speeding was one tenth as bad as the media and the government will have you believe, you'd see a crash every 3 hours and you'd be in 30 odd crashes in your life, 28 of which you'd die from. on the other hand, we all have a friend, or a friend of a friend who is a bikie. sure, the stories you get are a little exaggerated, but if 10% of it is even half true, there's far more "bad" shit going on in amongst those guys than there is in amongst us. yet somehow, unless they shoot at someone in the middle of an airport, nothing seems to happen. here's the bottom line. bikies kill people/cops if you really shit them off enough. car enthusiasts don't, neither do speeders. i am not advocating violence against the police, but that, plainly and simply is the bottom line. that is the difference between a harley (not all harley owners are bad for the record), wide-open-throttling past your open window, with the cop thinking twice about pulling him over and that nice black 34 firi9ng off some gate and the cop going "HAHA!!!!! QUOTA!!!!" so maybe that should be the next campaign? Harley exhausts are illegally loud. Treat us all the same and enforce the rules on them as well. Let's see how that one goes.

just having the nistune daughterboard won't make any difference to the car at all mate. you need to get it tuned before you start improving fuel economy

if it was closed below 4500, it'd be freeboosting. it just pulses at different rate after 4500.

ahh man, that's rough glad to see that you've got another one in the pipes though!!! just out of curiosity, was the woman a bit shy of 6 foot, white/grey hair, with glasses? about 50's? sour old bitch also, what was she driving?

We'll be there ! it'll be our first cruise since we moved to Adelaide

don't know who miranda kerr is supposed to be, but she needs to eat something. last place i worked at was a small business (about 15 employees give or take) and the boss was pretty lax. we set up one guy's pc with wallpapers that changed every 10 mins, then filled the folder with as much flange as we could find in 10 mins.
