  1. I heard Mr Costa regurgitating the stats last night on the radio... apparently P-platers make up 7% of driving population, but are involved in 17% of fatal accidents... NOW, what i want to know, firstly of that 7% how many actually drive performance cars... i would say it would be <1% or ~10% of p-plater drive performance cars probably less... Secondly of the 17% incolved, how many were driving performance cars in the accident (this i can't say but it would not be about 10-20%). So why do the remaning 90% of p-plater who probably cause 80% of the fatal accidents get off without any sort of "penalty"... It's clear the only solution is to ban p-platers full stop (tongue in cheek)... Congratulations to the Carr government and it's continued short-termism on issues in NSW. Carr has to go... for these reasons: 1) He waits til Sydney is in crisis before addressing the water issue; 2) He waits til the trains are in crisis before he addresses them; 3) same as above two but it's Hospitals in crisis; 4) These bollocks p-plate rules; 5) NSW is the most highly taxed state in Australia. I only have one more point to make, which has already been made... but if a p-plater is going to drive like an idiot, they will do it in whatever car they have. I know, i was there did that somehow survived my p's, bought a skyline and respect it more than i respect my own parents... End rant.
  2. Hand in your license now Turbonetics! Sorry. Couldn't resist.
  3. Shoot them on site. Plus you should have to do a psych test as part of getting ur license... If you turn out to be a f*ckwit... no license... EVER. (un)fortunately, this would decrease sales on VN commadores dramatically.
  4. probably the 4 door taxis with the RB20E in it...
  5. perhaps he was meaning that it is too big there isn't enough ground clearance... they usually do the coke can test
  6. i'll say silver too... and that's a nice RB26 right there hehehe
  7. that's not DEDSXY from home & away... difference kit and everything...
  8. i agree... that grill is sexy. any idea where to get one? is it justa GTR with the 'S' on it?
  9. it looks all wrong from the front...
  10. Here's one from left field, but when my clutch fan seized, the belt was slipping at high engine RPM... but you should have heard all the excess air being blown at the engine... it's pretty loud.
  11. Depends how farked they are... My engine was missing around 5500 then coming on strong again at about 6000, detected it as coils right away so started saving up for splitfires... They were installed last week and no more missing at high revs... Only on one or two occaisions did my car actually miss at idle or below 4000... If your car splutters for a bit under acceleration then gets going again after about 6000, i'd say it's coil packs. As for price... you can buy them from most place for >$1,000... one of the traders in the for sale section was selling them for about $650 i think... you can get them from nengun for about $600 shipped but you will probably have to wait a few weeks.
  12. The general consensus is that BP Ultimate is the best, followed by Mobil 8000 ad then Optimax... But I have also noticed it varies from state to state... As far as I know (from what people have said on here) Optimax has additives in it to reach 98 octane where as bp and mobil are refined to 98... how true that is i don't know... but thats the general gist as far as fuel goes.
  13. There is one thing that always rears its ugly head in skylines i've noticed.... THE ETERNAL DESIRE TO MODIFY IT! Beware, they can very quickly burn a hole in your pocket
  14. by the very nature of their purpose short shifters are... short... the shorter stick means a shorter throw... longer stick longer through... its simple geometry.
  15. Without being fully aware of how a speedo actually works... perhaps it is different between front and rear wheel drive cars (different position of gearbox, etc)... hence why the paseo may have been damamged while a skyline etc will not be?? or maybe it's just cos paseo's are not meant to go 210kmh lol feel free to shoot me down... just a thought.
  16. from legal studies at uni, i learnt that a lot of the NSW (and australian) legislation regarding consumer protection has been changed to support the buyer in siuations like this, however i think it is only if they trade in that business (ie. a caryard) not really for private sales.
  17. I dunno about you guys, but I get a big red light that says "Danger to Manifold"...
  18. mine went through customs... held for a few hours then released, no taxes or anthing...
  19. plus people might think you only service Vauxhals!!!
  20. Chennel 10 should have something in the coming weeks... they have every other year.
