no one fell out of the roller coaster. someone jumped from one of the upper floors though, thats why they have the suicide nets on level 1.

dunno why they shut down though... me thinks it was relocated somewhere.

Shit, anyone remember Dazzleland in the Myer centre?

It's basically all but forgotten now... a few years ago, you could still see the Dazzleland signs and stuff, but now it's all covered up by 2m of white painted glass so you can't see in.

Apparently, the gym only takes up 1 level... the other 2 levels, which were what Dazzleland was located on, are simply disused. They don't even allow service people up there anymore, as they say the floors "are too weak". It basically never got maintained after it closed in the late 90's I guess.

I still have a Dazzleland token sitting at home, too! Hahaha

But shit, that was awesome up there when I was young! And Lego Land... ah... memories.

I loved it when Zone 3 was located there. Best ever when you did one of those marathon lockins. I'd be there all the time with my mates running amock! :D

Some bloke suicided by jumping off a higher level. Couldn't handle his GF dumping him. So the suicide sails went up.

Coaster shut down due to the increase in insurance, back around the time of the HIH collapse. Wasn't making enough money to cover the insurance costs. Remove the "amusements" from the policy and the insurance was cheaper. They had a few in other Myer centres in cities around Aust which also closed down.

There was plenty of jumpers from the upper levels in the Myer centre. Few suicides and one case of a school kid that was messing around with a school bag on his back, anyway, he was on the edge over the railing and the school bag tipped over his back, acting like a weight and dragged him down.

Yeah and then they installed the nets/sails to stop it from happening.

And yeah, that Dazzleland roller coaster rumour is old as! It came from the original rumour of when the roller coaster was first tested with crash dummies on it, all of the dummies were decapitated.

Shit... just realised Ted's stripping his super-sexual onevia after it was defected!

Shocking. That thing was porn.

You only JUST realised? :D He's only been parting it for about a month.

Also, your avatar on NS is rediculous amounts of awesome, but also annoying as I lose like 5 minutes whenever I see it :laughing-smiley-014:

Caption Fail

Face off ... Jennifer Hawkins and Miranda Hawkins hit town on Friday.

yep Kerr, by a minute margin.

Rubes, that made me think of a quote from step brothers:

Barbara Walters, Oprah, your wife. You gotta f**k one, kill one, and marry one, go!

come to think of it, this is a farken hilarious read if you've seen the movie!

Who would you tap: Jennifer Hawkins or Mirranda Kerr?

+1 Kerr.

Err, what :D

Hawko is roughly 10 billion times better looking than Kerr.

*edit* that being said, I'd spear them both but how the hell anyone would go Miranda Kerr over Jennifer Hawkins is beyond me :D

That was Clayton. He lived a few doors down from us (where his parents still live). They put the plastic barriers in Myer itself directly due to that.

They don't know if he was messing around, but he was sitting on the railing and the weight pulled him over and he fell from the top floor... managed to stay alive for 24 hours.

Sadly his sister suicided in July last year. I suspect partly because she never really dealt with his death, tho none of us will ever know for sure...

    • Impossible to remove the housing while turbo is installed on the manifold on the engine. So I have to do it anyways. I plugged it so there will not be any debris in there. Will vacuum aswell 
    • would a r34 gtr hood line up with gt/gtt stock fenders? after latch, front bumper and hinges are swapped for gtr ones? or would the fenders be too low or high in relation to the hood surface? ( I believe seeing somewhere that gtr front fenders use some type of riser for the sides, but do not know how that relates to stock gt/gtt fenders.)    
    • 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
