spotted all you guys down at the show yesserday...i had the gunmetal 31 over the other side with the grand auto wreckers boys...well done on the prize!!!
ahhh, that would be Anthony Norris......good mate that worked with me at Adelaide Engine years ago
Been ages since I dropped in on the Norris brothers. Must get down there again one day.

Spotted their display, but didn't see neither brother.

lol, you'll only see Anthony (Chuck) Norris these days after they punched each other's lights out in front of customers awhile ago. :O

funny how the news can trick people, this article was about drink/drugged drivers not speeders?

http://www.news.com.au/adelaidenow/story/0...5006301,00.html

but they threw in the speeders bit for the poll, which most people didnt even notice???? and now they put Bikies into the mix too? what next?not very professional of the news, who creates most of the overblown hype in the world thru mis-information or manipulation of the truth. we should crack down on truth in news reporting ???????

Should speeding and drunk drivers be treated as criminals?

Add your vote! yes, they are criminals no, it's not like they're bikies

Hey guys,

Do any of you know if R34 GTR Injectors will go into a R32GTR fuel rail. I heard something about maybe the wiring plugs being different but I am not sure myself.

Posting in here because I don't think there needs to be another pointless thread :O

Sorry pete , but I havent ever seen this much moderator interference in this forum ever.

This thread is blocked , this thread is blocked etc etc .

I thought this is a forum and a place for people to catch up , speak their minds from home , and to be able to organise their own little meets with other skyline enthusiast's .I obviously dont condone bulling or people being disrespectful to each other but I think it is time something was said.

Not meaning to be disrespectful , Michael :O

Michael, if you're refering to the cruise thread, as I said, normally I don't close those threads down but after today with the amount of PM's that I've received to intervene when I was actually trying to stay out of things, I took what action I thought was necessary based on recent events......this will all die down soon no doubt, but for now I'm going to be anal.

The big problem is Michael, that we have had an influx of (particularly young) people join up recently, and we had noticed the quality of posts going down, and the quantity of new posts/threads going up (and I had many members PM me and complaint his exact point a few months back). Too quickly we were becoming like NS.com, with far too much immature bickering and pointless/needless threads, and the time it took to sift through all the rubbish to find car related threads was ridiculous.

So the decision was made to put on some more mods, and to start policing things around here more closely.

How do you think we should have handled things? Let the 10+ new threads per day of mostly useless crap continue? Let people shoot their mouths off about whatever they like, victimising and slandering others? Fill the pages of SA SAU with worthless drivel about every topic under the sun?

Let's face it - with the current hostile situation between import drivers and police, the 'watering down' of maturity of SAU members (I am not intending to sound condescending here), and a large increase in member numbers (and subsequent newly-created threads) - something had to be done, and I think we have gone the right way about it. I hear your complaint, but how else would you have it be?

    • 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.
