I have heard rumours of fuel prices are expected to raise and extra $1 to 1.50 in the next few weeks due to the fact oil per the barrel is going up about 20 or so bucks a barrel...

heard this on news and a dude on another forum mentioned also heard from an attendant at BP

like owning a skyline wasnt expensive enough :)

no suprise really, i mean it'll ease for a little while, then shoots up, then eases again ect ect.. cant wait until 2020 when were paying $5bucks thats gonna suck

we will be driving hybrids by then probably....like the prius....probably would need to turn to the computer stores to get the best sound card and install subwoofers and huge speakers to get the same revving sounds like we do from a stock exhaust

That sucks... mines been in the garage so to speak for months.... only just getting it back this weekend. Be farked if its going to sit there any longer..... meh.....

HAHAHA i was thinkin the same thing lol

but fuel prices really do suck, i wish i had a company fuel card and a skyline for a company car :D

job at nissan? :)

fuel prices never bothered me, aslong as i was enjoying driving my car. but now that i have too many expenses and i'm trying to cut down on driving, i feel the pain!

meh. i have a company work ute a fuel card. just keep taking a jerry with me. considering i full up at least once a day they won't notice 10 litres every now and again.

i know a bloke who works on oil rigs. all he does is tap into and cap new oil wells. usually does 1-2 a year. there is heaps of oil. just cheaper getting it out of existing oil fields is currently cheaper, so until they are running empty then they won't bother.

will be intresting if a few major oil users (like the usa) stop depending on foriegn oil. the international prices would start dropping due to less demand. although with the way china and other developing countries are going they will want it all. plus the damn servo's will still probably charge the same amount

    • Nah. You need 2x taps for anything that you cannot pass the tap all the way through. And even then, there's a point in response to the above which I will come back to. The 2x taps are 1x tapered for starting, and 1x plug tap for working to the bottom of blind holes. That block's port is effectively a blind hole from the perspective of the tap. The tapered tap/tapered thread response. You don't ever leave a female hole tapered. They are supposed to be parallel, hence the wide section of a tapered tap being parallel, the existince of plug taps, etc. The male is tapered so that it will eventually get too fat for the female thread, and yes, there is some risk if the tapped length of the female hole doesn't offer enough threads, that it will not lock up very nicely. But you can always buzz off the extra length on the male thread, and the tape is very good at adding bulk to the joint.
    • Nice....looking forward to that update
    • Neg, the top one is actually for the front. The sizes are 18x10.5 +18 and 18x11 +32.   I measured many times but I'm sure I'll have problems as this is the thread for problems.
    • Just one thing; tapping tapered threads is tricky. Taps are always tapered and you would generally run it as far as you can, but with a tapered thread you have to stop much sooner otherwise the wide part of the taper will run in too far and you will have to thread the sensor in too far too as well (possible that it will never make a good seal) BTW nice wide wheels, I guess the top one is for the back!
    • Welp, good to know. Will have to wait awhile until steady hands with drills and taps are available. In other news, these just arrived! I will weigh them for posterity. Edit: 11kg each (or 10.9/11.1 depending on what my scale decides over multiple tests, the 18x11 don't seem to weigh noticeably any more than 10.5)
