The tank had to be a personal vehicle. No way would they send a tank up from Victoria for a formal unless they were going to be able to recruit people. (like a recruiting stand) :P

Was it an actually tank or a smaller armoured vehicle?

(sorry, i like my armoured vehicles :()

62 tons combat layden and it would have been a publicity thing then. They are allowed on roads because they actually have a lesser ground pressure than the old Leopard tanks we had due to a wider track, but are still limited to where they can go. Infact to be qualified to drive one in the army you have to have a certain amount of time driving on a main road.

WHATS A CROCK OF S^%&!!!!

After forking out nearly $800 today for the 'privelidge' of being able to drive a road registered and third party insured car for another year today, I have zero sense of humour about this sort of revenue rasing! A lot of money to thin air! They seem to just try and take the fun out of every aspect of motoring through smacking taxes, levies, charges or fees onto absolutely everything they can think of!

But I'll tell you this as stated on the previous page they may be able to defect you but in no way would it be enforcable to fine someone for simply dropping a friend (or ralative) off. You could even go so far as to hand the driver of the car cash right in front of an RTA inspector or Police officer and simply state; "thanks for the lift. let me pay for some fuel". Thats not payment for services, but a reimbursment. If they fine you - they are wrong! Argue it! Don't take this crap lying down people. I remember when I had my year 12 formal and the likes of WHYTRY, SINISTA, CHOOCHOOBA, NATH32, (I know I'm forgetting a few people here and I'm really sorry LOL) rocked up and let me tell you... we had one hell of an entrance! I was so grateful to all those guys for the lift and I don't want to see this great past time go out the window.

Fair enough if your car is defectable! They can get you on that but as you are not A. a registered transport business or B. receiving money from the patron (liftee) for services offered (;-)... if you want to charge), they have nothing.

OK im guessing datto260z is in the army

I drove and gunned these until December last year, so I was in the army. It was over rated most of the time though (Sorry Shawn).

In the hanger next door was about 12 Abrams, one of which was the one at the Nats and the formal.

Cool , a mate i went to school with is going to afghanistan soon( Howard hasn`t told the public about it yet)

Its an M113 scorpion varient I think, looks a bit different in red though :P My old unit had them before they went to ASLAVs when they were in Sydney.

They have been used a few times on rampages, one in WA, another in Sydney years ago and one recently, I think ex Nam vets are usually the culprits, but I could be wrong. Poor fellas.

    • Hi...so a "development" here aswell The swap is "done" and car went "test drive" BUT it seems the clutch(maybe gearbox?) is a little bit sad? I bought this clutch kit https://justjap.com/products/xtreme-heavy-duty-organic-clutch-flywheel-kit-nissan-skyline-r31-r32-r33-push-type "Problem" is that the first gear is hard to put into and it seems that the clutch is not disengaged. It was not the problem with the old clutch...(or like sometime the first gear would not get as easy specialy when the fluid was cold) So? Can it be like...bad "install" or is the clutch wrong ((it should not have been) i done research to get the right one) Or is this "normal" with new clutch and needs to be break in? 
    • @Duncan I can try  and thanks i did not thought about VIN and part numbers for 33/34. @GTSBoy yeah it looks like iam gonna do that  
    • Forgot to include this but this is the mid section of my steering rack that looks like it has a thread/can be turned with that notch mentioned in the post:
    • Hey everyone, Wanted to pick some brains about this issue I'm having with rebuilding my 33 rack (PN is 49001-19U05). All of the tutorials/videos I've seen online are either R34 or S Chassis racks which seem to be pretty straightforward to disassemble but this process doesnt carry over to my rack. Few of the key differences that I've noted The pinion shaft on the other racks bolt on with 3 torx bolts: Whereas my rack bolts on with 2 allen head bolts: These changes are pretty inconsequential but the main difference is how you pull the actual rack out of the housing. The other skyline/s chassis racks can be taken out by tapping the rack out of the body with a socket and it just slides right out. I'm unable to do that with my rack because there's a hard stop at the end that doesn't let the seal/shaft be tapped out. Can also see a difference in the other end of the rack where mine has a notch that looks like you're able to use a big wrench to unthread 2 halves of the rack whereas the other racks are just kinda set in with a punch. My rack: Other racks: TLDR; Wanted to know if anyone has rebuilt this specific model of steering rack for the R33 and if there were any steps to getting it done easier or if I should just give this to a professional to get done. Sorry if this post is a bit messy, first one I've done.
    • I would just put EBC back on the "I would not use their stuff" pile and move on.
