If anyone watched last night's news... basically any cars over 10 years old are declared belong to the junkyard.

This includes all:

Any Pre R32 Skylines (DR30, R31, etc)

R32 Skyline Gts-t, GTS, GTS4, GTR

R33 Skyline Gts-t, GTS, GTS4, GTR

R34 Skyline GTT & GTR 1999 models

The catch is if you wreck your piece of junk Skyline you get $3000 incentive to update it with a newer car...

The aim is to reduce the number of gas guzzling old cars on our road.

I think it's a good idea......

PS: I'm just stirring up some shit...

good idea i own a 1971 ford gtho phase 111 id love to crush it and get $3000 towards a new car.

wow the government are so awsome and smart lol. ( my whole statement is sarcastic).

honestly its the stupidest thing i have ever heard, you cant get rid of all the classic cars out there.

also $3000 isnt going to help much for a new car either, unless i have a real bomb that doesn't run then i could get the money and buy another bomb that does drive. :P

edit: my car is still safe for one more year lol.

the car only gets crushed if the owner wants it too.. classic and desirable cars are still safe, as long as they arent owned by retards.

I think its a pretty good idea. except every flamin mongrel selling a shit box will want 3k for it now

So potentially anyone can go into a used car yard, get 10 shitboxes worth $700 each, even if he had to register them for $500 a car, at $1200 he will make $1800 each x 10 shitboxes = $18,000 when he surrendered them to government to be squashed...

what an awesome idea...

first the $900 K-Rudd package (anyone got them yet?)

now the $3k stimulus to help save the auto industry sell their overstocked new cars...

What next???

a $50,000 tax-free job-stimulus for anyone willing to be a good Samaritan and give up / quit their job so the company can hire one of hundreds of jobless out there who are still jobless?

I wish I was paid to think of amazing ideas like this! I would be rolling in it! :P

I would like to know why the term "gas guzzling old cars" was used. I mean by all means remove old, unroadworthy cars off the street, but I'll eat all my items of clothing when a 10 year old Corolla "guzzles more gas" than something along the lines of a brand new Commodore SS.

pretty sure they'd have something in place so people cant just sell heaps of old cars and make money, but it will also stop people buying old shit boxes, as if your going to pay 3k for something worth 1k, i think they have something along the same lines in japan <-- could be wrong on that one

      Hello, sorry for being late to join the discussion, but my clock just died on me.   Ive tried to look at Michaels digital clock repair.docx and it doesnt work maybe the file has expired.   Please let me know if you can re upload it or take some youtube videos to show us how to get the clock installed? thanks

      Strange issue RB25DET wont start

      By jtha7 · Posted

      Ps i found the below forum and it seems to be the same scenario Im dealing with. Going to check my ECU coolant temp wire tomorrow    From NICOclub forum: s1 RB25det flooding at start up Thu Apr 11, 2013 7:23 am I am completely lost on this. Car ran perfectly fine when I parked it at the end of the year. I took the engine out and painted the engine bay, and put a fuel cell with an inline walbro 255 instead of the in tank unit I had last year. After reinstalling everything, the engine floods when the fuel pump primes. if i pull the fuel pump fuse it'll start, and as soon as I put the fuse back in it starts running ridiculously rich. I checked the tps voltage, and its fine. Cleaned the maf as it had some dust from sitting on a shelf all winter, fuel pressure is correct while running, but wont fire until there is less than 5psi in the lines. The fuel lines are run correctly. I have found a few threads with the same problem but no actual explanation of what fixed it, the threads just ended. Any help would be appreciated. Rb25det s1 walbro255 fuel pump nismo fpr holset hx35 turbo fmic 3" exhaust freddy intake manifold q45tb q45 maf   Re: s1 RB25det flooding at start up Fri Apr 12, 2013 5:07 am No, I didn't. I found the problem though. There was a break in one of the ecu coolant temp sensor wires. Once it was repaired it fired right up with no problems. I would have never thought a non working coolant temp sensor would have caused such an issue.

      Strange issue RB25DET wont start

      Hi sorry late reply I didnt get a chance to take any pics (my mechanics on the other side of the city) but the plugs were fouled from being too rich. I noticed the MAF wasn't genuine, so I replaced it with a genuine green label unit. I also swapped in a different ignitor, but the issue remains. I've narrowed it down a bit now: - If I unplug and reconnect the fuel lines and install fresh spark plugs, the car starts right up and runs perfectly. Took it around the block with no issues - As soon as I shut it off and try to restart, it won't start again - Fuel pressure while cranking is steady around 40 psi, injectors have good spray, return line is clear, and the FPR vacuum is working. It just seems like it's getting flooded after the first start I unplugged coolant sensors to see if its related to ECU flooding but that didnt make a difference. Im thinking its related to this because this issue only started happening after fixing coolant leaks and replacing the bottom part of the stock manifolds coolant pipe. My mechanic took off the inlet to get to get to do these repairs. My mechanics actually just an old mate who's retired now so ill be taking it to a different mechanic who i know has exp with RBs to see if they find anything. If you have any ideas please send em lll give it a try. Ive tried other things like swapping the injectors, fuel rail, different fuel pressure regs, different ignitor, spark plugs, comp test and MAF but the same issue persists.
