First of all, happy new (financial) year everyone :)

Second, they had Open Day at a private school near my house today, why must 80% of them drive SUVs or 4WDs when they (presumably) never take them out in the dirt or mud? To reflect their inflated egos perhaps?

because sometimes there are leaves on the street that they need to get over :)

You know I used to have this attitude also .... until I had a kid. Normal sedans just do not have the rear seat legroom for a bassinet and most don't even comfortably house a child seat with a child in it (which is why we just sold our Accord Euro and bought a CRV). Also of note is the higher seating/vision position of SUVs, which do make them safer for Mum's driving kids around (and let's face it - we want kids to be safe).

But of course the other side of the coin is that I spend all day out on the road, and BLOODY HATE the limited visibility all 4wds/SUVs make me suffer. And the driving of soccer Mums leaves a LOT to be desired ....

add them now.

Get digital before you get physical.

Adding them on facebook, not only shows off your detective skills, but shows that you are confident. Ladies can smell fear. Much like bears that smell the menstruation... :)

So they can just drive over speedhumps (and small cars) without slowing down?

From what I understand, after talking to people who own them - they seem to get a sense of protection and superiority by sitting higher than other cars - that they're invincible. That many of these cars have a much lower safety rating than smaller cars, and that whilst in an accident they might be slightly better off, the other car (or pedestrian they hit) will be far better off doesn't seem to occur to them. Eh, anyway. I'm a huge SUV hater - if you take it off-road, sure - but 90% of them don't. They compromise the visibility for cars around them, and many of the drivers seem to be oblivious to the other cars on the road around them (I don't know if they just don't check their mirrors or their mirrors or they just can't see the other cars from larger blind-spots or something).

    • In Vic it would be a defect regardless of whether or not you cut a hole in the sheetmetal for the return pipe. The rules in Vic are shitful, and are generally interpreted as you can "make 2 mods to the intake system". Putting an FFP and an FMI onto it will almost certainly be seen as some huge number of intake mods. You really need to speak to an engineer before doing this stuff in VIC.
    • planning a r34 rb25 de+t with some other work, rather just have it done in a shop due to space limitations any recommendations? I have most the parts already I seen online Moore Performance and DR Drift any advice appreciated thanks 
    • I’ve read the previous posts so just looking for latest information on how people have dealt with front facing plenum is it a defect etc or didn’t pass roadworthy or was it not noticed? Have a r34 and deciding if I should make a hole on the driver side or not.  I know some people have said blitz return flow but I might get rid of the stock intake down the line for a plenum so I rather set up for that now plus I already have a standard Intercooler. Car is mainly stock  Thanks. 
    • Actually, if having and keeping the stock ECU is the plan, the correct answer is to put Nistune into the ECU and improve the situation, not just look at it.
    • Wrong side of sydney for me coming from Goulburn, but you should head along, all ages of Skylines will be very welcome
