i happily pay $11 a day for parking for the convenience and to avoid public transport! only time i catch public transport is a cab, and work pays for it!

$11 is cheap for the city!

But you also have to realise I don't have a nice salary like yours.

Haha its pretty bad.. but least I don't have to pay $8 a day for parking..

$8 a day? I can only dream of that. parking in my building is $38 a day (early bird) and $56 if I don't meet the early bird requirement. that got old pretty quick...

yeah, a couple of hundred a week just for parking could be money better spent somewhere else I reckoned so now I catch the train. harbour bridge traffic in the mornings was driving me nuts too. now I just sit on the slow, stinky train and read or listen to my walkman. :) or sleep.

well laaa deee daaaahhhh!!!

lol!!! i just prefer driving!

rigghhhttt! what does that have to do with this convo? i don't spend elsewhere so i can pay for parking.. you could too i'm sure! for me a weekly ticket is $35, plus light rail $20-40, so screw that! And carrying 3 bags around.. once again, screw that! so your salary comment is totally irrelevant.. its a lifestyle choice and my lifestyle states not to park at a station, not to get up at 6:30am, not to be burdened with a zillion bags on a packed train and not to use public transport.. easy!

i used to play $25 early bird at the old building.. but that was aout 3 times a week.. i couldn't really justify it! but i was able to happily park my car at a station, and walk away.. not so easy to do now!

yikes.

at townhall it's $16 a day for early bird at st andrews car park. here at wynyard it's around the $20-26 mark for early bird. I usually drive around and have a look at the prices of different parking areas near my work. But i hardly drive to the city now so it's all good.

lol walkman

that's soooooooo 1995

LOL! a guy on the bus sitting next to me the other day had a cassette walkman. i giggled quietly.

yeah if u got heaps of shit to carry then fair enough. i couldn't really justify spending my return bus fare ($11 - or twice that amount at wynyard) + fuel cost + wearing out a car everyday to get to work. if it was free parking? hell yes i'd drive!

bus actually isn't too bad if u get used to it. there's heaps more buses and it only takes 45mins each way now thanks to the lane cove tunnel. the day i drove thru vic rd = over 1hr. screw that (even tho i MUCH prefer driving).

get a motorbike. parking is free in the city.

or is that scooters?

motorbikes are free as well i think. i've been considering this option for ages but im afraid of other cars on the road. even whilst driving a car i drive assuming every car around me will hit me.

I hate it when, you drive past a group of ppl and they go "RIP IT RIP IT.. DO A BURN OUT!! "

f**kin go get a life.. go rip yourself..

N i also hate it, when you are a set of lights, and a car full of ppl yell shit out to you..

This one time, at a set of lights(night time), with my windows up (very dark tints), i had some dickhead in the car next to me yellin race me idiot.. race me.. Even call me an idiot..

Some ppl are just asking to get hit..

I know there are heaps off cops with imports.. Im waitin for that day when they do something to them, and the guy who comes out of the import is a cop!! ohh would have loved to see that..

hhaha i get this all the time .. so the the door opens up and i get the extendable batten out..hahah should see the look on there face then and they take off...hahaha

wankers !

now ive got a new toy ... i wanna try it out and watch them curl up into a little ball when it hits them...

    • Hope you aren't too sore after that one, might take a day or 2 to notice yet and I guess it is a loooooong drive home. On the bright side, tube frame front end is a thing at superlap, right?

    • The chart of front pressure to rear pressure (with one being on the x axis and the other being on the y axis) is not a straight line on a typical proportioning valve. At lower pressures there is a straight line with one slope, and at higher pressures that changes to a lower slope. That creates a bend in the line at that pressure, called the knee point. If you do not change the proportionng as the pressure gets higher, you will suffer excessive pressure (at one end of the car or the other, depending on which way you look at the proportioning action) and then get lockups at that end. The HFM BM57, from my memory of previous discussions, is based on the BM57 from a different car (to a Skyline), with a different requirement for the location of the knee point and the distribution of pressure front to rear, and so is not a good choice for an upgrade on a Skyline. Here's a couple of links to some old posts, one from here, one from elsewhere. A lot of it pertains to adjustable prop valves, but the idea is the same. There are plenty of discussions on here about this issue from al the many years of people wanting a cheap/accessible option. https://grassrootsmotorsports.com/forum/grm/learn-me-brake-proportioning-valves/236880/page1/ https://grassrootsmotorsports.com/forum/grm/learn-me-brake-proportioning-valves/236880/page1/  
    • Yeah dunno why johhny posted that here with no context, just post on FB/insta bro where he put it up?  Laine had an off at T4 during Thurs prac, he's ok, car is less than perfect, they are done for the weekend, he can fill in the rest. Bando also binned it like 100m up the road.
