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...

    • I hadn't thought about the variable power steering assist. Presumably, it will always be the same level of assist as you get in an S14. The R32/3/4 are either helliishly heavy (at low speeds) if the solenoid is not powered at all, or hellishly too light (at high speed) if it is powered all the time. I presume that it is PWM controlled on those cars. I hadn't thought about the S cars not having variable assist. ugh. What crappy plebby cars they must be!  
    • Hmm yeah that is a good point. It looks like it'll just bolt in with no real issue besides maybe the bushings being different. My other concern was that 2 pin plug that I assume is used in some way to control the rack solenoid depending on the speed signal from the ecu. The DMAX rack doesn't even have that plug though so, don't think it'll matter. Might just order the rack and see how it goes. Will update this when I figure something out
    • I'd say it's a fair bet that the feed and return fluid lines will be in different enough spots that you would need to come up with a way to cut the originals short and adapt with new hard line adaption or braided teflon hoses or somesuch. But really, you have the car, you have the photos of the DMAX rack - you should be able to go out there and see for yourself whether they're in the same or different spots.
    • I've been doing some looking around and honestly was just considering throwing a new rack at it. I saw that the dmax silvia rack bolts up into the 33 with the silvia bushings but not sure if the high pressure lines will sit in the correct spot. I believe other version of the 33 rack are the same/similar to the racks that can be opened up without as much fuss so I assume the dmax rack would fit but any ideas?
    • I've never played with one, but I would expect that you are correct. That slot looks like it is intended to be used to unscrew the end, and the flats on the body would be better than grabbing it around the round bit with a pipe wrench. So, yeah, probably unscrews. You'll probably have to make a tool to drive in that slot.
