Why is Victoria also the state with the most local/militant unions as well?

Just out of curiousity, who do you think are the militant unions? There probably are some, but doesn't mean they all have to be laballed as the same.

I'm a unionist (I'm an electrician, so a member of the Electrical Trades Union), and they make sure they do everything by the book. Unionism had a bad light a few decades back, but now they are a very proffesional run organisation, who also look after each and every member.

I did a significant amount of work on the the eastern water recycling proposal and I know a lot of people in the power industry and various water authorities and I can say without a doubt that its the biggest load of crap! To say nothing of the cost issues when it comes down to it the water saved will be sent to industry, a small amount to Geelong and pretty much all of the rest will sent down the rivers to boost flow. How will that help us? What do we get for the billions of dollars and in increased cost of electricity? Nothing!

The tool has also promised to spend 3 billion dollars in the next 5 years upgrading the easter treatment plant. 99% of the people in the water and power industries know his promises on these issues are a total load of crap.

On the other hand Ted is a multi millionaire isent he with investments in so many companies? I can see his decisions if he wins just done to help line his posckets more.

I belong to the working class, i used to vote for labour but now i dont' believe in any of them at all so i VOTED for the GREEN.

I voted for the GREEN now i thought about it i'm like F**K me, what if they want FOUR CATs in every cars to keep the GREEN GREENER!

Oh well, too late :rofl:.

Dont' forget to pick up today Herald sun, free DVD copy of Making Poverty History concert.

You guys only have to vote for politicians every now and then. I have to live with one :rofl: And after seeing all the rubbish first hand, I simply never enrolled and dont plan to vote. Its a dirty scummy game to be in IMO.

Martin Kingham's mob is pretty bad, not as bad as the BLF where though (I had a number of run in's with them.) I have no issues with the principle behind union's, it's some of the policies that they have that I have problems with.

vote labour!!

liberal wants more cops on the roads!

True, they want a more visible police presence, not hiding in unmarked cars and behind speed camera's. They are also going to introduce a more realistic tolerance to speeding, and give cops more discretion when it comes to either warning or fining drivers.

and when you get your defect you'll know who to thank ;)

Yep, myself for driving a vehicle with defective items, common sense suggests that.

Although there may be others who believe the Police or the government are to blame for them breaking the law, I say good for them! ;)

if your sense thinks that having an exhaust/bov etc qualifies as a offence that justifies a $$$ penalty, then you obviously think that these modifictions seriously warrant a car unsafe or "defective" so as to endanger your well being.....and so therefore you must be grateful that bracks and his new laws step in to protect you from harm...... ;)

    • Just trying to get my head around this. At 5psi of boost, you turn on your wmi pump, and then you're using a 3000cc injector, to allow flow upto the actual engine, where you have your 6x200cc injectors and a 500cc injector. If the above is correct, what advantage are you obtaining by having the 3000cc injector blocking flow, is this just incase a line breaks between that injector and the motor you can stop flow immediately? Or are the 6x200cc and 500cc less injectors and just spray nozzle?
    • Welcome! New member myself, but I had an R33 back in 2002. Best advice I could give, based on my experience: if you're running the factory turbo, be very conservative with boost. I made the mistake of just fiddling around with the boost controller and cranking the boost for fun, and the end result was my intake pipes popping off frequently from the constant deluge of oil that was being blown into the recirc by the stressed-out turbo, which itself was siphoning oil from the engine and farting it out both sides of its centre bearing (or something to that effect). If I could do it all again, I would have gotten a new turbo and had a tune dialled in professionally and then just left it alone! Funny you mention the metal shavings in the gearbox, as I had the same thing - the probe plug (magnetic drain plug, essentially) would come out caked with shavings. At least it was doing its job. Not sure if that's just sacrificial wear and part of the deal, or if my gearbox was shagged, but I wasn't abusing it. Enjoy the R33 - they're a dying breed, and if they weren't $35k+ on CarSales in Queensland, I might have picked up one of those again, instead of the 370GT I own now (though I'm loving the 370GT, that big 3.7L V6 just hits different).
    • Howdy folks. I owned an R33 back in 2002, which was thoroughly beyond my capacity (financially speaking) to maintain/insure, so we parted ways in 2004. Fast forward 21 years (to literally yesterday, in fact) and I'm now the proud owner of a 2007 V36 370GT. I'm happily surprised by how much power the VQ37VHR makes, compared to the RB25DET, considering the latter is turbocharged. I had planned to add a turbo at some point but I'm on the fence about whether I'll even need it (though I do love the sudden onset of extra torque). Any other 370GT owners around the traps, I'd love to hear about your experiences with this car (good and bad).
    • Perhaps the answer is... more jacks!* *proper jacks must be used.  
    • I NEVER think about using a scissor jack unless there is absolutely no other alternative. f**king things are dangerous, annoying and stupid.
