f**k the planet, its gonna get destroyed one day by a comet and what will happen is poorer get poorer, i rkn there will be mayhem and lots of killings and robberies of banks, that what probably will happen . become like America, Australia aint the lucky country it used to be, time to move country if stuff gets expensive like other countries not worth liveing here. for example ppl in this country all money hungry and everyone thinks about money all the time, u goto england or mexico or spain or italy everyone is poor and they still manage to have greate time and be happy and party and live life, here cant say its the same. some one comment on me if im wrong or got some thing to say

True that.

After tax, more tax, everything we buy that's taxed including fuel, smokes, alcohol, etc. and then some more tax we have about f**k all of our income left to spend freely.

I've got a feeling something bad is gonna happen soon.. comet, mass riots, plague?

is it one of the blue echos... half tank should last a few years ;-)

anyway increasing the price wont stop ppl driving... if it did then no one would smoke or drink anymore.

at the end of the day,it is an open economy and the ACCC cannot do anything. as long as the petrol companies dont collude or some other silly thing like drive compition away. when Coles increased the price of VPR to over 30c/L more than ULP i complained to ACCC, and they said as the price is a demand and supply issue and as long as ppl are willing to pay the 30c extra they (coles) can set whatever prices they want.

hey hang on the compition is going away soo we will pay more for fuel anyway. and the 4c dockets is a joke... for every 30bucks you spend in coles/safeway the price of general groceries etc has already been increased by $2-5 already. i remember spending 50 bucks would fill our trolley (before the dockets) and not 100 doesnt fill it....

hence i have voted with my feet. get fuel from one of the independents, get vegies/fruit from dandenong market and grocries from Aldi.... saves us a couple of rate rises.

and saw the best the other day, unfortunately on ACA/TT. co-op buying from the main fruit/vegi markets and saving even more.

yea your right ziad used to fill trolly with 50/100 now you cant do that anymore, now my parents goto aldi and go to markets and buy stright from there and save a few dollars but even the market uses excuses like less water and put prices up expensive and the quality by the end of the day aint that good, so they put it for cheap my dad makes tomatoe sauce every year this year he couldnt because box of tom last year was like 15 to 16 and this was like 20 so my dad didint botther and buy already made things are getting harder, i should stop bitching and live a happy life but cant in this country lolz

Thats what you and the likes said last year, and will say the same next year... in space of three years you will be paying 40 bucks more for a full petrol tank.

I have sold my Skyline to buy a house and a new Corolla... f**k the oil companies.

BTW, cut the foreplay and make the petrol 2 bucks a litre... then only the rich will be able to drive, there will be less cars on the roads and the planet will breath easier.

In the space of 3 years my change in disposable income will be able to more than account for the change in petrol price.

I can see the logic in buying an economical car, but driving something 'fun' is important to me as a lifestyle factor.

Buddy, if only the petrol price was the only thing that was rising in cost... food, real estate, schooling/uni, public transport are all on the rise... even your local plumber down the road will up his fees... so if you think that your increasing salary will cover your fuel costs, think again.

Whil I agree that they should tax high on smokes and alcohol (too many people getting wasted and causing lung cancer around here) I find that tax on other things is unfair.

Funny how when you buy a new car or a house you gotta pay taxes, then when you sell it again the government wants taxes again!

Whatta joke with the first home buyer's grant, they give you $10 K to buy a first home, then they charge you $14 K in fees... greedy pricks.

The federal government gives you the $10k..

The state governemt charges you stamp duty etc, ie the $14k.

So it is simply a matter of which government is being greedy.

No longer drive my skyline to work, new location and catch the bus. I really wouldn't be suprised if it reaches 2$ in the next few months or so either. Does seem to be a bit of a speculative joke. I can see petrol going up in price, but the amount it has gone up in the last few years is a bit of a joke. Demand hasn't gone up 100% like petrol prices.

Anyway if petrol does go up to 2$ will be either buying something on gas to drive around, or a small econobox to drive around. Skyline will be the weekend/track car. Stuff getting 350-400kms on 50 litres for a joke.

    • 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
    • A few small updates since the previous post and lessons. I decided to do a little interior light upgrade on the 110. I quite like the iilumo items, even if they're a bit of a premium over other brands. You'll also note the Stedi Fogs, that will go into the S15 fog lights as I needed to match the bulbs since I got the new ones earlier. I hope they fit as the body is quite a bit longer than your normal bulb.  Annoyingly, I managed to trip the fuse, which normally wouldn't be an issue until I located the fuse. I can't say I've ever come across this. I had lucked out that someone nearby had a spare, but oddly enough Toyota dealerships seem to keep this in stock. I ordered some to keep in my stash and as luck would have it, someone else nearby tripped the same fuse so I passed on the favour.  I also did a little service on the 110 ahead of some additional work coming up. It's been annoying that Goleby's stopped carrying this particular HKS filter for the 110, so now I need to keep them on order from Japan. I also took the opportunity to install a bash plate and number plate riser. The plate riser is such a cheap but nice fix to help really tidy up the car. I'm tempted to now also replace my headlights, on this car. Both items were from Project Aero.    I also needed to replace the rear tyres on the 110, and after trying to get it aligned learnt that I need to replace some bushes in the front end, so that's next.  Closing out this update with a nicer picture as always!
