I agree Adelaide's roads are a joke, but dislike it when people blame the roads in the event of a high speed accident. The roads are designed and made, and kept (tho sometimes poorly) for the speed limit posted for that particular road. Of course doing 150kph in a 60 zone 'bumpy' road is going to end in disaster. If the road was the only contributing factor to an accident, then go ahead, blame the road condition. But if high speed, drugs, and stupidity are involved ... its lame to blame the road's minor part in the accident.

However, I do wonder how many minor accidents (multi car or single) have been caused due to poor road care. I know my bike crash last year was due to a crappy road. But I don't whinge about it, these things happen.

South Road, O'Halloran Hill ... Port Road ... Lonsdale Road are good examples of crap roads that are potentially dangerous. Lonsdale Road is so bad, they lowered the speed limit, rather than fix the road. :D

Dam straight Damo would rather do SAU them heroin gts4 are 4.1 because they share the same parts from the gtr i think r32 gtst is 4.3 because of the lack of torque from the rb20

I don't think anyone's blaming the road conditions for high speed/stupid driving accidents, but surely some of the minor incidents have been caused by road conditions.

I broke a RHF strut in a 60 zone because of a pot hole I didn't see!

they just had the minister for road safety on the radio

he thinks having a drag strip is the wrong aproach, as it just encourages hoon behaviour...

he thinks the right approach is counceling, to get the picture accross the cars are not toys, or hobbys..

this prick needs a bullet.

What a twat. Many MILLIONS of people around the world of all ages wouldnt agree.

I reckon he's on the right track though. He went a bit far saying they should NOT been seen as a hobby, but I think he's on the ball with counselling. Single out the people who drive their cars recklessly to show off and show them that their hooby or their toy (their car) is not a harmless thing they can do whatever they want with. Don't try to get rid of their interest in cars, try to get them to respect their hobby/toy as something that could kill them.

If they toned down on the sensationalism when they talk of hoons there is some half reasonable ideas in there.

Yeah, they certainly have the priorities well in order.

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

You asked this question only yesterday. If you want to know, ask in the 'performance/modification' section. SAU-SA is a relatively small part of the entire board and the people who know are more likely to frequent the national mechanical threads.

      I am yet to see anyone ever regret a quaife or helical. ...other than drifting/skidpan duties. I kind of want to upgrade my factory helical with a Quaife (but really it's not ultimately that different, and is a MASSIVE UNDERTAKING), that's how good the hype is about them, that I want to try them 'just to see'

      D2 and Ksport are essentially the same thing and basically just generic Taiwanese manufacture. Better than ChinaBay crap, but... not top shelf. Öhlins have got to be some of the best dampers around, so likely to be a good option. It's going to get to the point though where I suggest you buy from Oz. We have at least 2x excellent options here. If I were you though, I'd be talking to KW about doing something for the R33. There's bugger all difference between that and the 32. In GTR land, anyway.

      KW only offers a set for the R32 GTR. Popular options are D2 racing, Ksport or Öhlins. I have a D2 Racing coilover set, though I don't know for sure which one.

      Well, the good news is you have more than one very good option for new coilovers in and around your country. Worth the drive over to KW to talk about GTR stuff.

      Fair enough, I am in no way a tire expert so I'm not familiar with all the terms and conditions. I'll definitely note down the AD09 to potentially try in the future. Rain is not too big of a concern for now as I will probably only drive in the rain when I have to. And considering I still lack experience driving the GTR I'd more than likely take it easy too. I have coilovers in the car but as I barely got to drive so far I never bothered to even check if they are adjustable haha. The suspension is almost entirely old and worn as well so I suppose when I eventually fix that in the future that would make a huge difference.
