    Increasing Police Suspicion/inspection

    ha sorry misinterpret, it was a fine as i had no rego because it had expired. but i dont see how it would be any diff, no rego is no rego full stop. its up to the cop to decide whether he should issue one for interstate.

    thats the risk i ment and one i wouldn't wana take. and as already posted, your clearly not a "visitor" if your licence is VIC and your car is NSW as your car becomes unregistered as soon as it comes to another state.

    no it doesn't, i have a nsw licence and a qld rego'd car, i spend lots of time in qld and lots of time in NSW, they would have to prove that you've spent more time in one state or another. how the hell is a traffic cop going to do that? Sometimes i move up north for work and i have my qld rego'd car back in qld but with my NSW licence. Like i'm supposed to change the rego of my car and my licence every time i spend a few months north or south....

    I don't know if that will work, your car becomes unregistered if in another state for longer than 1 month or something. So they will be handing out no reg fines, you wana risk that?? I had one was $650. Don't want another one lol.

    Something needs to happen I don't know what options there are. Reality is there won't be an import scene soon so enjoy it while you can.

    how the f**k did that happen? $650 for what? how did they prove that you weren't in the 'said' other state ?

    Installing Sound Deadening Material - Help

    Thanks for the link, I came across it before in my google searches, and now i'm plundering dedicated car audio forums... This is a ridiculously complicated subject, fraught with misinformation mixed in with accurate facts - then there are people's opinions! I think i'm just going to shell out the extra money and by a dynamat 12ft door kit, i can buy it within australia for around $100-110 shipped to my door. Though i'd really like to cut that price in half teehee.gif

    Installing Sound Deadening Material - Help

    Thanks a lot for you help carbon, this task is certainly more wide in scope than I initially thought. Going to head to Kmart shortly to see if they have this brand of glue, if not supercheap/repco/bunnings should have it. I'll take the precautions you outlined earlier when applying it.

    I've been searching around for cheaper alternatives than dynamat, road kill and second skin are pretty much as expensive. Many people claim to use roofing materials and have similar result, however i'm going to stay clear of those things because they aren't designed to withstand car conditions.

    Apparently there is a great product called brown bread ( now goes by the name of "B-Quiet Ultimate" ) which is meant to be just as good if not better than dynamat. A few review sites have tested it and found the sound deadening qualities to be superior. The great part is the price about 1/3 of what it cost for dynamat. I can't find a Australian reseller, and b-quiet's eBay store doesn't post to Australia. I've sent an email directly to the company asking them if they will post here, or where to buy it in Australia but I'm yet to have a reply back.

    If anybody knows where I can get this stuff in Australia shoot me a pm please. If people are interested maybe we could organise a group buy.

    Thanks again for you help.

    Whoa didn't think it was going to be that bad!

    I think i'll use it on the rear parcel shelf if its no good for doors, i'd like to go dynamat but its bloody expensive!

    I don't like the idea of permanent contact cement, could i simply screw it in using some of the existing holes? If its on a horizontal surface can i use a less extreme glue? something that i could peel off later?

    So received some new speakers and was going to install them in the doors, however while i'm at it I decided to purchase some sound deadening material to install while I had the door trims off.

    Went to my local jaycar and got some of this stuff: http://www.jaycar.com.au/productView.asp?ID=AX3680&keywords=AX3680&form=KEYWORD

    Its pretty heavy and comes with a felt like material on one side and a clean rubber like material on the other.

    Which side am i meant to glue to the door? And what type of glue?

    Couldn't find anything on the internet about it.

    Please help.

    What Did You Pay For Your Skyline / Performance Car Recently?

    in General Automotive Discussion

    Posted

    Considering most people here are skyline owners and depreciation on the surface seems like a bad thing, however have a fender-bender, need some parts or whatever you can buy it cheap.

    Also if we didn't have the rapid depreciation most people here would be priced out of a skyline! Compared to other cars a skyline 32,33, 34 holds its value much better, have a look at how cheaply you can buy a V8 or 2j soarer.

    The Goods On Oils

    in General Maintenance

    Posted

    We really need a super moderator / oil expert to sift through all the crap here and cut down this 100+ thread. One page at the start recommending SAU's most used oils for summer.

    something like:

    For track work we recommend: RP 15w-60, or Redline RACE (~$100)

    for daily use/light track work: motul or chrono 300 ($90) or mobile 1 ($80)

    daily: penrite 10w 40 ($55) / mobil 1 ($80)

    (i'm just using the above as an example not that i recommend the actual brands or know the specific prices)

    Oil is so damn confusing, IS it worth shelling out $100 for 4 litres for Redline/RP. Given that you need 2 bottles to do a full change and a filter that makes it a +$200 job for a damn oil change! Like someone said earlier after a few years you could buy a whole new engine!

    Is a $100 bottle of 10w 40 full synthetic justifiably better than a $55 bottle of full synthetic? Will our old RB's really be able to see the difference?

    can the

    It's a shame Darwinism is not an 'active' theory of evolution.

    Though hopefully (in the long term) Genotypes such as this will become extinct, I have no doubt that this inferior sub-species of homo-sapiens will slowly demise, lest they breed like rabbits with their liberal views on rape...

    If only natural selection were more direct, this fool would have ended up at least incapable of reproduction... like, if say, the half evacuated case of VB cans had somehow migrated from the passenger seat to his crotch upon impact, with a devastating amount of momentum, followed by the ensuing half-ass attempt at a vehicle rollover causing one or more cans to burst and send shards of aluminium can into and around his loin, narrowly missing pelvic bone, to end up with a shrapnel filled rectum and beer seeping from his now aspirated scrotum..

    .. if only...

    Oh well, the (somewhat dubious at times) Australian legal system will hopefully see that he has limited freedom for a time, to the extent at least that he will be unable to inseminate anything but his hand, or another male inmate, for long enough to offset his ability to unconsentually fertilise the eggs of unsuspecting teenage females at the local train station parking lot at knife-point.

    Admittedly, I have once driven drunk (4 beers, yes I am a lightweight, but a cheap date at least).... in 2nd gear in a paddock in a roll-caged 1982 corolla. With a helmet. :thumbsup: That was enough experience to reaffirm that driving (at all) is more fun when I am not cognatively impaired.

    Drink in front of me... and I'll join you. But attempt to drive afterwards in front of me, and I'll deck you, and hold you down until you eat your keys, and chew before swallowing.:cheers:

    very unlikely, the more educated a person is the less likely they are to have children, this is why you see bogan teen mum's with over 9000 children, they are actually the next generation, if anything children from 'educated' family will be a minority.
