well i am origionally from canada and have to say that most people cant drive here. most people indicate with the middle finger. and its even more noticeable when you add rain... just thank your lucky stars that here in australia we dont have snow on the ground for 4 months of the year,.... oh what a mess it would be.... however public transport would make 50 times as much as everyones cars would be at the panel beaters. We just need to adopt some of the car manufacturers standards on cars like "Driving Lights". You turn your car on and your driving lights are on automatically. its amazing how many people neglect to turn their headlights on when it starts to rain or its near dawn or dusk. sure you can see the car in front of you with his lights on, and dont need your headlights to illuminate it, but its your taillights that are the important thing. all the water sprayed up makes it harder to see anything infront of you. so what better to make yourself known to others then a few red lights on the back of your car... mind you the amount of people who actually neglect to check to see if these lights and brake lights are working in the first place.... well thats my rant... i do love this place but some people :)

You Canucks have got it all over the yanks for snow driving. I was heading up through Washington state a year back and the first snow storm of the season hit. I thought I was keeping it together fairly well for an inexperienced Aussie, but there were people spinning off everywhere! Later I'm in BC and I swear Canadians don't slow down at all for snow lol. But I agree, snow in Oz with our drivers would equal fail, on epic proportions.

So, we have now gathered that the driving part is true.. which sadly i already knew!

and nobody thinks that ham in ham-burgers is cool..

we are more than happy with our hot chicks/babes

what are the current thoughts on our drinkable air?

drinkable air.. well it would help our increased laziness if the air was beer.. then we wouldnt have to got get another beer at all.. breathing would increase though.. showing that we arent lazy enuf to breath :laughing-smiley-014:

lol just moved to brissy from melb, and I gotta agree with the driving... wtf... I know you guys are laid back, but hardly anyone speeds... or rather... hardly anyone goes at the speed limit... and they stay in the right lane... someone needs to put a whole bunch of "keep left unless overtaking" signs up on the freeways... sometimes when they sit next to each other on parallel lanes it looks like a rolling roadblock.

The signs wont help because im sure most of the people that do that are too stupid to know how to read. its worse though when they sit in the right hand land doing 10 below the limit with their left indicator on totally oblivious.

call me passive agressive, but if they dont move after a short while, i give them a very quick flash of hi beams..

this usually jolts them into wanting to get out of the way..

If that fails.. then its a love nudge! lol

    • Update 4: Hi all. The car drives again! Haven't driven for long, only to store it in the garage again, but the test drive was successful. The coolant and oil leaks seem to be fixed for now. Temps on the engine were also very good, while moving I never even saw 80C water during the approx. 30 minute drive. Ate up all the coolant in the reservoir though so will have to fill that even more when I go to the car next time. One thing that pisses me off is that the RPM gauge is still f**ked, I even resoldered the board twice and used copper paste on the silly screws that are used as connections. Next time I take it out I'll take apart the board and fit new components, I'll see if I can get a replacement IC for it.  I have an appointment set for 22nd of September for the engine tune to 370hp. Alignment also still needs to be done. My hope is that I can get all the legal stuff over with by the end of this season. Anyone of you have advice regarding intercoolers? Currently there is an APEXI core fitted, one of those weird hybrid ones, 600x270x76. I don't think it's bad but it's not new and now I still have the chance to change it now to legally include it in the paperwork. Only issue is that the only options that would arrive in time are a HKS Type R intercooler or generic Ebay spec intercoolers comparable to a JustJap one. Ideally I'd order a Plazmaman but it takes over a month to receive which would mean making the car legal has to wait until next season. Would love to hear some input on this. Same story for my injectors, the previous owner was a nunce and put ID 1050x on the engine. They work but are obviously not ideal at "normal" power levels. But I don't see a reason to change them unless the tuner says it's necessary. I read online before buying a different exhaust that the top secret style rear diffusers won't fit due to the size of the rear resonators. My buddy and I made it work by slightly "adjusting the shape" of the mounting bracket and making some spacers out of 3d print for the mounting bolts. Fits like a charm. Just putting this here in case someone has this problem. Even the hefty HKS Silent Hi Power rear can fits without hitting anything.
    • Well they got my money but they are not getting my gearbox ! 
    • It's needed for rolling idle up, and I think it is a decider on VCT also.
    • I mean, not really. Link ECU's can absolutely still have errors from the ECU thinking it's getting a sensor it's not expecting. I would imagine the speed at the ECU level in Nistune does absolutely nothing anyway? I assume the ECU does not do any fancy TC stuff with regards to front+rear wheel speed or anything of that like anyway. Someone who uses Nistune may be more fluent in it. 
    • Not yet quite as bad as what we've seen a Jim Berry clutch do in an R32 GTR though when it decided to cut a chassis rail in half... Still very very gnarly and a great reason to avoid.
