lol.. no cats is a bit far... like i actually rekon cats are good for the environment yada yada, but some of the b/s laws like p plater curfews etc is stupid... the meaning of 'child' seems to add a year in age every year :P hopefully im not sitting on the line where eahc year im still a child for the rest of my life :(

all australia seems to hav strict rules, xcept for NT but lets face it no one goes there just for a car. NZ seems bout right i think, no import tax AT ALL, evos, skylines, silvias everywhere, no revenue raising. i mite actualy book a holiday ova there for a month at the end of next yr to scope it out.

fark melbourne i am considering moving to QLD soon!

yup.. nice one :P same hopefully .. haha, and when i do u can bet i'll be sending a nice little letter to Mr Bracks when i leave, letting him know my feelings on the whole thing and ****ed up he has made driving in this state..

yup a cat sucks power.. hiflow cat will give u some of it back though.

Actually.. if the government did not collect its target of $427million in traffic revenue, the state government would be in defecit.

Current estimated budget for this year...

a substantial budget operating surplus of $245 million for 2003-04

Look where the increase are:

Motor vehicle taxes ($M)

==============

2002-03.... 2003-04....%inc

Vehicle registration fees 503.0 573.5 14.0%

Stamp duty on vehicle transfers 496.9 517.3 4.1%

Other motor vehicle taxes 100.7 113.3 12.5%

Other taxes, licences and levies 59.0 64.1 8.6%

====

total 9,345.6 9,593.2 2.6%

and of course...

Revenue from fines, which is expected to increase by $101 million (26.5 per cent) in 2003-04, is mainly derived from revenue related to traffic offences. This includes revenue from traffic infringement notices, the operations of the Traffic Camera Office and from payment of penalties imposed by the courts.

Fines revenue is expected to increase due to the next stage of road safety initiatives coming on-line. These initiatives include flash-less, fixed site and point-to-point camera technology that will be installed at identified danger areas. Fines revenue will also increase as a result of the indexation of some fines set by

regulation from 1 July 2003.

and

Police fines:

2002-03 year: $326.6M

2003-04 target: $427.5M (30.9% increase)

So take away the fines, and basically Victoria is not doing too well afterall under Bracks

Its all here... www.budget.vic.gov.au /// tell your friends, get angry, do something about it! :P

Basically the way I see it the Government is illegitamately supporting itself through taking unreasonable measures while pretending to enforce "public safety" when its really only the bottom dollar they care about.

    • Yea - I mean I've seen my fuel pump which is decades old and uh, while I'm not saying this with real knowledge... but I sure get the ick at using anything in the fuel system that produced the state of that pump. Many years ago I went through multiple pumps (and strainers) before I dropped the tank to clean it out with extreme violence. I'm talking the car would do maybe 50km before coming to a halt, which resulted in me cleaning out the filter with some brake cleaner and going on my way. None of my stuff ever looked like what came out of your fuel tank. I don't think I'd be happy with it unless every single component was replaced (or at least checked/cleaned/confirmed to be clean here).
    • I'm not going to recommend an EBC pad. I don't like them. Just about anything else would suit me better. I've been using Intima pads for a while now.
    • Agreed, and in particular the earth strap that should go from the subframe to the chassis but it often broken or left off. There is a section in the R32 workshop manual you can follow for troubleshooting if you don't see anything suspicious, and depending where you are (there is no location on your user profile) you should be able to get your hands on a second hand replacement unit still if needed
    • Yeah they mention as a R34 for 2.5 Turbo...but then again thos "small" were also for R34 by that different site. But i look into it and that 310mm EBC is for R34 GTT. And by those you linked the specs are the same 🙂    EDIT: I found these on one site here: DBA 4000 series T3 DBA42304S They are 310mm...and it says are for R34GTT...are there good? EDIT2: ok they have pads too.  What "color" should i get for street use? I dont want/need some noisy ones...(and if they are not that dusty that is good too)
    • Yeah, shame. Maybe  driver's carpet is available 🙏. I am waiting for both amayama and nangun to confirm.
