cheers guys. Went to the coopers ale house for a snitty and man, im buggered and didnt finish it.

btw anyone here play oz Lotto? neighbours gave me a ticket and ive got 4 numbers and no supps. Do i win much?

cheers Luke

coopsers ale house isn't bad! i went to this pub last week on hutt st in the city. i think it's called havelock or something along those lines? it was tastey, even the king beef snitzel which was like 600g? was tastey, didn't get sick of it

coopsers ale house isn't bad! i went to this pub last week on hutt st in the city. i think it's called havelock or something along those lines? it was tastey, even the king beef snitzel which was like 600g? was tastey, didn't get sick of it

was it tastey though?

so, ive had a shitty hour. decided that today being payday id cruise on down to local shell to pull some money out of the atm, and then head to the bp to fill the 200 with ultimate,

left the shell servo no worries, popped it into second and put my foot back on the gas, engine revved a little strangely, almost too quickly, without the car gaining any speed, bit odd i thought, but no matter, into 3rd and it does the same thing, and i start to smell clutch, f**k. so instead of heading to the servo i just started driving home with the slip getting worse and worse and worse, only just got the damn thing home, f**k.

FINALLY got the oil cooler, filter relocation kit that i ordered on ebay...

WORST ebay seller that i have come accross. had ZERO communication from this guy, not even a please pay me, or an invoice for my payment being recieved from him.

i emailed him throu ebay 4 times, with no response.... and the kit turned up on my doorstep last night.

i was so frustrated that i had tracked down all his details (through various menas that i have) and was about to book a flight to go "visit" him in QLD and have a "frank discussion", when it turned up... now i know that the flight/accomodation would have cost more than the cooler. Its the principal of the thing really.

BUT... now i have an oil cooler :P :P :( just gonna wait for my next oil change, n in she goes

well i just went for a drive in the skyline and got pulled over TWICE!!!! the second time wasnt so lucky got fined for no p plates, do i lose demerit points for that? !!! lucky no defect though.

Everyone I know of who didn't display P plates had their licence suspended for 3 months or so, but that was years ago. It is 'probation' afterall. Think you'll be getting a notice in the mail. Maybe they're more lenient now. Can anyone else clarify?

Yes - 3 demerit points. Although, I've seen talk in the news about reducing it to 2 demerit points...

But it's still 3 demerit points. Which means, if you're on your P's... that's all the points you can have! Even getting another 1 demerit point will be license loss :P

Edit: Ruby, no license suspension anymore. Just demerit points. Has happened to a countless number of my mates. One even got done for a faded P plate, which the cop just put down as "No P Plates"

ah not good dave what it slips 1st gear no boost? noremally you notice 4th and 3rd slipping first under load and boost

yeah, slips it all gears, off the clutch in first to get moving, engine revs to about 5k rpm and inches forwards, driving around in any other gear it struggles to move.

yeah, me thinks so, lookin at an exedy at the moment, should do the trick.

gonna wander down to the car yard i got the thing from to see if they'll cover the box which recently started acting up, might try and throw the clutch in too.

    • You just need to remove the compressor housing, not the entire turbo. I would not be drilling and tapping anything with the housing still on anyways. 
    • So, I put my boat on a boat. First of all, I'm going to come out and say it. Why is Tasmania not considered a holy goal, an apex that all road-legal modified cars go to, to experience? This place is an absolute wonderland of titanic proportions. If people are already getting club runs for once in a lifetime 30 person cruises to Tassy then I've never seemed to see it. It is like someone replaced the entire place with an idyllic wonderland for cars, and all of the people living there with paid actors who are kind, humble, and friendly. Dear god. After doing a lap of almost all of the place I've found that it's a great way to find out all of the little things that the car isn't doing quite right and a great way to figure it all out. All in all, I drove for 4 hours a day for a week and nothing broke. I didn't even need to open the engine bay. This is by all means a great success, but it has left me with a list of things to potentially address. I also now have a 3D printed wheel fitment tool which annoyingly hasn't got any threads in it to actually assemble it. I might be able to tape it together to check the sizing I actually want to use, but it'll likely involving pulling the shocks out to properly measure travel at least at the front, and probably raise the car while I'm at it, at least in the rear. I scraped on quite a few things and I'm not sure how else to go about it. I was taking anything with a bump at what felt like 89 degree angles. And address those 10 other tasks. And wash the car. God damn it is dirty. And somehow, the weather was perfect the entire time - And because I was on the top of Mt Wellington it turns out it was very much about to freeze up there. I did something I typically never do and took some photos up there in what must have been -10 and the foggy felt like suspended ice, rather than mere fog. If you own a car in Australia, you owe it to yourself to do it.
    • Damn that was hilarious, and a bit embarrassing for skylines in general 😂 vintage car life ey. That R33 really stomped. Pretty entertaining stuff
    • Hi, I have a r32 gtr transmission. Does any of you guys have an idea how much power it will hold with the billet center plate and stock gearset? At what power level and use did yours brake with or without billet plate? Thanks, Oystein Lovik
    • Saw this replica police car based on a Mitsubishi Starion XX parked next to a 'police box' (it's literally a box) in Hirohata, Himeji City in Hyogo prefecture the other day. It's owned by Morii-san who is a local Mitsubishi Starion enthusiast. According to a local radio station blog post, he always wanted to make a police car himself based on ones he saw in his favourite Manga comics.  As it's illegal to modify a car to look like a police car and drive on the road, Morii-san tried many times to get permission from Aboshi police station headquarters nearby. They refused initially by after they got tired of that they granted him permission. However, the car can only be displayed on private property and obviously can't be registered as long as the police livery is present. The car was completed at a cost of 1.5 million yen (US$ 10,000) in addition to the car cost. A location was chosen outside Hirohata Police box where the car can easily been seen from the street. Morii-san has two other Starion road cars, both widebody GSR-VRs.
