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.

    • I thought I'd come back and add something I JUST learned. A Toyota LandCruiser with a 1HZ, mates perfectly with a bottle of Nulon brake fluid. As in, it perfectly screws in. Great make shift funnel when you cut the bottom of it off. This may work for your Corolla.   Unfortunately, tipping a 10L drum is much harder than a 4 to 6L bottle, and they no longer include the easy pour tap which was just perfection to use previously.  
    • Guys since i bought r33 gts25t coupe 1994 automatic a/t(manual swap 350z gearbox)  all i got is problems, always problems. Lets start with that when i turn key into ignition(ON) fuel pump doesnt always works. Sometimes i have to turn key twice Off/on/off/on until it primes. Its new, dw300 - 340lph. My gearbox broke so i did gearbox swap, install different intake manifold, injectors and i take pipes. Car was sitting in garage for more than half a year. I did assembly all not that long ago and when i turn ignition cant hear prime. All of sudden it stopped working. Theres many videos on YouTube how to make relay mod on r33 straight from battery so i did and it doesnt work! 😰 30 - battery positive  87 - positive from fuel pump to relay 85, 86 - one of two wires from original fuel pump wires(light blue, grey) and it didn’t work. so I check on ignition and took original BLUE relays wires from trunk, next to fuses. (I believe it’s IGN+ and ECU pin 18. it didn’t work…  tried connecting (IGN+ from og relay) and (ECU 104 from 1of4 FPCM wires) to my new relay 85/86 and it didn’t work.  I unplug FPCM. Didn’t work. im thinking what’s wrong   fuel pump is working, if I leave IGN+ on 85 and 86 straight to ground it works but it’s just nonstop. Since it getting constant 12v after key in ON. light blue wire gives me 6-8v.  so how this should be connected? What causing ECU not giving — on pin? Or I did sth wrong and that’s why it doesn’t work? I need negative signal on ECU that control fuel pump. What this should be?
    • You can use your VIN to look up the factory part number somewhere like amayama, and then look to order new if necessary. https://www.amayama.com/en/genuine-catalogs/nissan Depending on price you might want to rebuild instead. @GTSBoy I had an interesting insight into US market parts when the Titan rear calipers were sticking. New calipers were dirt cheap, about 20% more than a rebuild kit....they are just considered throw away maintenance items
    • Funny, but really not funny. Thank god (most) f the world has moved on since then
    • Lots of votes for driving onto a plank first; that is the quickest way I've found, 25mm is enough for my case but that will vary by car It also depends where you are going for. On the 32 I can get to the rear diff with my floor jack if I do that end first, and get it up on stands. Then I lift the front from either front tow hook as high as needed, also onto stands. Sometimes I need a small lift on the other tow hook to get it level enough If I do the front first I can't get to the rear diff because of the angle of the car Other options are getting to the front mount of the rear subframe from in front of the wheel (if only lifting one side, or just do both which is a bit of a pain compared to one lift from the diff), or also the gearbox cross member mount on the driver's side if you are  just trying to lift the driver's side. I This is the jack I use; it says 75mm clearance but of course that is only on the lower section so if you have to reach too far in like the diff you still get stuck. https://www.snapon-bluepoint.com.sg/category/Floor-Jacks/product/Floor-Jack,-2-Ton-Low-Profile
