Be interesting to see if this makes a difference, but it's worth a try!

IT HAS BEEN CALCULATED THAT IF EVERYONE IN
AUSTRALIA DID
NOT

PURCHASE A DROP OF PETROL FOR ONE DAY - ALL AT THE SAME TIME,

THE OIL COMPANIES WOULD CHOKE ON THEIR STOCKPILES.

AT THE SAME TIME IT WOULD HIT THE ENTIRE INDUSTRY WITH A

NET LOSS OF OVER 4.6 BILLION DOLLARS WHICH AFFECTS THE

BOTTOM LINES OF THE OIL COMPANIES.

THEREFORE
FRIDAY FEBRUARY 22nd
HAS BEEN FORMALLY

DECLARED
'STICK IT UP THEIR ARSE DAY'
AND THE PEOPLE OF THIS NATION

SHOULD NOT BUY A SINGLE DROP OF PETROL THAT DAY. THE ONLY WAY THIS

CAN BE DONE IS IF YOU FORWARD THIS eMAIL TO AS MANY PEOPLE AS YOU

CAN AND AS QUICKLY AS YOU CAN TO GET THE WORD OUT.

WAITING FOR THE GOVERNMENT & ACCC TO STEP IN AND CONTROL THE PRICES ?

IT IS NOT GOING TO HAPPEN. WHAT HAPPENED TO THE REDUCTIONS AND

CONTROL IN PRICES THE OPEC NATIONS PROMISED LONG AGO ?

WE PRODUCE OUR OWN OIL BUT PAY WORLD PARITY PRICES AND

THE PRICES JUST KEEP GOING UP AND WE NEED TO STOP IT.

PETROL PRICES ARE CAUSING OTHER EFFECTS;

AIRLINES ARE FORCED TO RAISE THEIR PRICES,

AS ARE TRUCKING COMPANIES .

THIS INCREASES PRICES ON EVERYTHING THAT IS SHIPPED.

THINGS LIKE FOOD, CLOTHING, BUILDING SUPPLIES MEDICAL SUPPLIES etc.

WHO PAYS IN THE END ?

WE DO !

WE CAN MAKE A DIFFERENCE.

AND IF THEY DON'T GET THE MESSAGE AFTER ONE DAY,

WE WILL DO IT AGAIN AND AGAIN.

SO DO YOUR PART AND SPREAD THE WORD.

FORWARD THIS EMAIL TO EVERYONE YOU KNOW.

MARK YOUR CALENDARS AND MAKE FEBRUARY 22nd THE DAY CITIZENS OF AUSTRALIA SAY 'ENOUGH IS ENOUGH'

This little memo has been circulating my work up here in North Sydney, and it has been around alot of other places aswell, so i thoughought i might aswell forward it to ouir good ol' forum.

So please .. NO FUEL ON FRIDAY!

Lets get these guys back!

IT WON'T WORK!!!!

ok so you don't buy fuel on friday. so you wait till saturday, or do it tonight. either way the fuel companies will still get their money. they will have a slow friday but today and saturday will be busier and make up for it. we have been discussing this in wasteland for weeks and on other forums, and we all agree that it won't work.

That might've been because perhaps only 1.9% of the population actually complied with this idea.... Bit different even if a quarter of Aussies didn't buy fuel on a particular day, it would temporarily bugger the logistics of the major fuel companies...

Ah, but if they caught on, they could up the price on Saturday, knowing that people are going to HAVE to buy petrol then coz they didn't the day before!

This is exactly what i thought aswell, but the thing is that if we could forecast a day in which they would need to rely on fuel sales, and then attack that day it would make a whole lot of sense.

But i dunno, i might aswell try it this friday and see what happens.

and then they would make MORE money. and instead of make, say 5c a litre they could put it up and make 10c a litre. and more people would be buying it cause they hadn't bought any the day before. so the unrealistic loss of 4.6 billion dollars could turn into a gain of 10 billion.

the only positive i can see from this junk email is that there will be people who don't have the mental capacity to add 1 + 1 won't be buying fuel so there will be smaller waiting times at the servos.

and if these emails are so common, don't you think the fuel companies would know about them? so they could be pricks and lower the cost of fuel on the day just to piss people off.

I never buy petrol on a Friday anyway... so it really doesn't make too much difference to me! Tuesday FTW!

yes, lets organise a day then smear it all over the internet that we won't buy fuel that day. i'm sure none of the fuel companies or their staff ever use the internet.

a better idea would be a whole week where you don't drive your car to work. that way you wouldn't be buying fuel, and also not using it, so the fuel companies actually would lose money. cause while you have a day that you aren't buying fuel, you are still using it as you drive to work.

seen this on so many forums and received so many emails, be smart if you don't purchase petrol on one day you're going to have to get it within a weeks time. Because of all the hassle everyone has caused if you are sucessful they are going to put prices up and you are going to make them x2 more then they would have made on the day you didn't put petrol.

Hmm yeah well i guess so, oh well might as well give it a try.

And Samon im sooo with you haha, Tuesday and Wednesday !!

Thurs, Fri and Saturday are killers!

MR_XTC

And relax, i wasnt the one who made this plan. Im just passing it on. Atleast we might get some sort of lay down onthe prices on friday due to supply being high and demand being low.

Will not work. Funnily enough oil companies have people they employ who are good with money. these people are able to make sure the company will not go under if people dont buy their product for 1 day. I dont know how they do it.

Some say they have 3000 monkeys working around the clock

others say they have people from the future who know more that we can possible comprehend right now.

I dont wanna mess with these forces. You shouldnt either.

Did we really land on pluto? think about it.

    • looking for some help and maybe some insight on others experience with a new LSD. R34 GT ran and drive beautifully, but always alot of grip loss due to the open R200 rear end, so I just installed a new 1.5 LSD way into the stock open R200 for a ER34. Simple. Everything seemed right. I test drove for the first time this weekend. as I started to back out the garage the first time slowly with tires straight it sounded and felt like I had a loose or half disconnected drive shaft...that was clucking around loose and shaking entire vehicle, and making it feel like the trans clutch was spontaneously slipping then grabbing very roughly while just letting out pedal slowly. I backed it out went to pull forward with the same noise, shake and slip grab feeling with hesitation, I turned the tires to back out more and then pulled ahead some same thing but worst because of added wheel resistance (which that I expected) puzzled … pulling it back in checking everything over and finding nothing wrong, I tried it the next day. same thing, couldn’t believe how it shook everything again making a terrible noise and making it feel like the trans clutch was slipping and grabbing, but I got it out of garage into the driveway, got it straight, drove forward and then reveres a few times in a straight line everything shaking , causing what felt like clutch slip and grab every time, sounded like right behind front driver tire and I could feel it in the floor board with my feet,... worst right when beginning to let clutch pedal out to engage slightly, shuttering and sounding terrible along the way…I managed to slowly get down the road, babying it the whole way, once I was rolling (out of 1st) seemed to be better and between shifts, then clutch felt closer to normal…not slip/ grab etc., but back down to any stop, straight road or turning, same thing. Made no difference if all tires were straight or if I was turning. All other gauge read out correct. with in 2 miles as planned I reached the empty parking lot and performed the break in procedure that came with lsd, essentially to drive in a figure 8 a bunch.  Did this, binding chattering, and shaking the car the whole way. I drove it back home seemed somewhat normal once I was in straight line and past 10 mph or so, and I know it will “bind” on corners and cause some tires squeal when turning especially from a stop, but when I begin to move it still causes what feels like the trans clutch to slip and jerk badly as well as shaking the entire car, and sounds terrible, that I didn’t expect. I used the fluid they supplied with LSD kit and did the breaking, planning to change fluid as they suggest after breaking, but wondering will it get smoother or less aggressive with use? maybe a 1.5 is just too aggressive for normal road driving?   I have a LSD that I put in my 71 cuda when I restored it, with amazing smooth , quite yet effective results. Different style LSD but that ones a joy to drive. maybe expecting too much from this R200?

    • Hello!  i just finished manual swaping my r34 skyline with a r33 rb20de box(RB71C)box  When the car is running it squeaks crazy loud and it was smoking from the gearbox area. The gearbox is fine it was tested. The clutch slave cylinder seems like it doesn't fully releases the clutch. I want to ask if this noise is from the throw out bearing or could it be the clutch assembly or disk att.xFliq87Gzw6kImKBVqDebXkj0fBqymk0JaYeP3_3SlM.mp4
