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.

    • Haha, i kow right? Could have bought so many cars for the same amount of money (or less) but driving Unicorn gives you at least +1mln to style 😅. Like wise man said "life's to short to drink cheap wine and drive boring cars" 😉
    • Newbie here, proud owner of an Autech 260RS. I'm on the hunt for wiring diagrams specific to the 260RS, particularly S1. I've ran my eyes through R33, R34 Diagrams, there are some similarities, however continue to find incorrect wire colours and pins on connectors in the 33,34 diagrams.   I was hoping someone could point me in the right direction? I'd be happy to pay for the originals in Japanese. I can translate them, at least they would be accurate.   Any help please would be greatly appreciated, never heard an RB26DETT before let alone driven one, and I've got a spaghetti monster of goodness to sort out.   Cheers Benny  
    • Hey all  im wondering if you can help me please I have put a rb20 box in my r34 gtt as my auto packed up and a friend had a spare box I know it’s not ideal but it will get me up and running for now. we have done the conversation and everything is working great but my Speedo we got a s13 speed sensor but my Speedo reads double now and I bought a speed converter but still not having any luck.  so I thought I’ll reach out and pick your brains  any help would be appreciated please as I wanna drive my car again 
    • Drain it. I got official Matic D but you can get whatever is listed as Matic D compatible.
    • Thanks guys,  Yeah I should at least have them dynoed, at least then I know what I've got as a starting point.  The springs on these are hard as rocks. I vaguely remember Russman saying he was going to sell the shocks to me with the rocks fitted, as he was keeping the softer springs for his new setup.  I didn't click at the time but of course that was to let me know the shock/spring wouldn't be matched.  I also remember pricing up new springs around 2014-15, but, house, money etc. it never happened. So that was another reason to have them rebuilt. I have rebuilt the forks on many motorcycles so I think I could handle the seals on these easily enough, but getting the valving right would be a rabbit hole I cbf exploring.  Duncan, interesting to hear RP was tuning these back then. I might give them a call.  In the mean time I have been busy fitting sway bars. The Whiteline rear sway bar I purchased 15 years ago finally got fitted, along with the Whiteline front bar that showed up last week. Just waiting on new links for the front sway bar to finish that off.  And my spare set of advan AVS VS5's should be back from the powder coaters in a Pearl White finish sometime this week, with a set of Hankook RS4's lined up for fitting.  And then I just have all the suspension bushes to do. A comprehensive kit is on the way... Lots to do before the Ararat hill climb. Cheers guys 🍻
