  1. just quickly: those with relocated batteries/battery isolators, where abouts do you have the isolator mounted?
  2. But they have a Pulsar class this year... and its every 2 years... i was excited for DECA but there will always be another one
  3. not sure if RE Autoworks still has the dyno there, but could give them a call.
  4. just realised that Shannon's Skyline Nationals are on the same weekend as DECA is supposedly on... what's a boy to do
  5. speaking of crashes... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mgBVLJsLThQ&feature=g-all-f
  6. Gotta go to mordialloc to pick up the car first meet sounds good. Shell on Boundary rd past White st? easy access and plenty of space
  7. i will probably be mordialloc way, so i might be up for a pre-meet/cruise
  8. looks very nice. get the engine bay or door seals done too? or were they in OK nick
  9. I know this is an Alfa event, but are any of our guys doing officials work? think there are any volunteer spots?
  10. work = freedom ...compared to education, umm stuff
  11. thanks for the confirmation. i'd been hunting around for some info and found nothing
  12. was good fun, cheers for organising. they ping you on anything Kaz? I was 200m back behind traffic when I saw the cop and 3 GTRs bail
  13. speaks the truth. Aim for halls gap and go for a few runs towards Wartook and back. Was there earlier this year and on a Friday night (before 7pm, wasnt dark yet) it was empty and had a blast. Saturday/Sunday all day you have to put up with MX-5 clubs, possible hotrods and maybe an Evo or two. So I recommend not weekends if possible. Downside is the road on the way there is terrible. Upside is theres plenty of good camp sites in the national park. We stayed near Mt Difficult where theres a great view and toilet facilities
  14. yeah, its very sad to see that. and sometimes perspectives on life and priority differences can really separate people. The questions posed have a bit more of a... philosophical (lack of a better term) background than you might think. Its basically asking how should you plan/live your life really. When talking about such large sums of money, its not as simple as just 'saving' for it (as Warski pointed out). Sacrifices have to be made. And more than just monetary sacrifices. Lifestyle, hobbies, possible passions, other goals in life, even general happiness. A lot of people are interested in putting little effort into their education and end up being happier than some that do. In my profession, I meet a lot of young engineers who couldnt give a shit about their job or their work (and end up being useless for a long time) but only care about the paycheck and title. sorry, getting off-topic. I loved Porsche's for a loooong time when I was younger. Would have given up a lot to have one to look after, but once I had a steady income, things like insurance, running/maintenance costs, wankery image, storage and purist community are major put-offs. But most of all, I didnt have the patience to save and get one. I wanted to get out and have fun now while young and tick the car box off before I commit to something like a family or even a mortgage. So glad i did, because I found a passion in cheaper, smaller, efficient cars that are a heap of fun and the money you save on expensive cars, get to unload into a car that can be a lot more focused on what YOU want from a car. and not have to worry about keeping it in a glass cage or destroying it. just my 2c.

  15. to be honest, nothing groundbreaking or even adventurous. i got a build thread if you wanted to check out some minor changes. http://forum.pulsar.org.au/showthread.php/96808-LP-s-Pulsar-Adventures Just want to have some fun and learn to drive real good. people were upset to see your N15 go, but im sure the Cube is going well
  16. i planned to go back to try the food, so that plus free stuff sounds a winner
  17. Once they mentioned 'cover-system' i am became a skeptic. Cover systems add spice to dull shooters. Star Wars has enough interesting elements to shadow a mechanic like that
  18. I know you dont venture much on PGA anymore, but its Steve's old machine. http://www.skylinesaustralia.com/forums/gallery/album/4999-n15/ ...and yeah, the battery has been pretty low... will have to get the alternator checked out. Until then its going to have to sit there
  19. oi! that shit stays between us mk?
  20. PULSAR, SHOW US THE MEANING OF HASTE
  21. why didnt i see this an hour ago... was just working on my car. installed a new seat and forgot to put on seatbelt plug back on *doh* ...tempted to drive back to mordialloc, fit the belt and be at monash by 10:30..... thinking thinking thinking
