I hate Gillard's speeches. She is such a robot. "I am from the 'great' state on south australia". I love the 'great' australia", yada yada yada.

Labor party are excellent at controlling media. Bungled School building projects, Insulation scheme which resulted in deaths and many injuries, Mining tax, which was just stupid. Where the bloddy hell are the laptops for every school-kid also!

Also, did anybody hear the bombshell question Laurie Oakes dropped on Gillard on Thursday or Friday that she wouldn't answer? Dodgy bish.

and on top of your list Jake, don't forget the 'Cash Handout" fiasco and the 3 boats a week (due to softening of detainee laws) as opposed to 3 a year under the former govt.

Funny how Gillard is prepared to bypass prime ministers of neighbouring countries to try and establish a detention centre on foreign soil when the previous govt has already done that and spent a fortune in Naru (Pacific Island) which was heavily critisized by Gillard herself at the time.....look at the mess she's in now, too much pride to use a centre that she had nothing to do with but slagged it at the time.

Gee, I wonder why she's pushing for an early election.......a bit like her other labour mate (Nicole Cornes) cause the questions are starting to get too hard for her and she wants to get elected before she's found out!

does anyone know of a place like covetry fastners that is in the southern area and open on a sat?

anyone??

just put a fresh set of mirrors on the 32 (a big thanks to Kahli for those) and i wanted to do plugs n oil... but the big thing holding me back is the tensioning bolt for the power steering. i cant find a tensioning bolt that does not come with a powersteering pump thrown in ;)

any help would be much appreciated

No shit pete

I cant defend that stuff at all, cause its a boneheaded policy no matter how u look at it.

Illegal immigration is an Australian problem - we need to deal with it, not palm it off to some other foreign base. Ruddock was the first asshole who tried that, and he did it so that we could avoid scrutiny regarding certain human rights charters we were a signatory body... now it comes across more like a govt with no plans and a bunch of vote grabbing desperation for certain uneducated left wing factions...

And her pushing for an election only weeks before she knifed the incumbent in the back? Bad move. I think the Nicole Cornes comparison is a bit much tho, we know cornesys broad is about as thick as they come, Gillard at least has a bit of a brain - too bad shes not using it.

That said, the liberal opposition are so utterly pathetic at this time I dont think many people (aside from party loyalists) will be voting for them.

Having thought about it, I'm definately voting green. I could care less about the preferential votes, because one way or another you're screwed when it comes to that nonsense, however if the 3rd largest party get another swing at the expense of both the labor and liberal parties then maybe we might see some competition for a change

2 party systems dont work. and being loyal to one party thru an entire lifetime is also pretty myopic. sadly its the nature of our govt, and since the demise of the democrats there really isnt any impartial body to speak of to moderate the more extreme factions on either party.

That said, I think its a shame howard moulded the liberal party around himself rather than spending more time grooming the succession. Abbott is a limp fish, Hockey hasnt got the experience and Turnbull caves in to polls almost as much as labor do.

It will be an interesting election, whomever u follow.

Just listened to all the Mel Gibson tapes. :D

She's a deceitful little bitch but f**k me she gets him going. Some of the language he uses is rather... colorful. It's amazing how she acts so calmly, it's almost like she knows she's being recorded

Some of you guys are on freaking drugs when it comes to wheel prices .... if you reckon you can get 18" x 9.5 Rotas for $1k delivered I absolutely challenge you to show me where .... and even at $1,600 they are a freaking steal .... the best price I could find on a new set of 18" x 9.5 +20 genuine LMGT4s was $6k delivered .... yet my Rota copies (the very same wheels Willalls are running on their Evo 10 that does 1:12 freaking second laps around Mallala - and they have smashed them on ripple strips etc with no ill effects) were just under $1,700 delivered with some tough negotiation. I freaking love the rims - they look porn, and every time I rub up against a kerb (which is often when using the car for work and parking 30 times a day) I don't give a shit .... I would give a shit if I had paid $1,500 PER WHEEL though!

Go for it Penny - if you like them, that is all that matters.

Vision R in Perth sell a range of Rota Wheels for $999 + $100 delivery, so $1099 delivered, a $550 saving over the link Penny posted:

Ive got myself a $10,000 piece of paper (diploma) in this audio shit...to me, it sounds doctored...theres way to much clarity in her voice. His is muffled and unclear, which i think has been done post recording as its not him (just an impersonator) to make it seem more real...

nah, when we record covertly our voice is always clearer than the 3rd party's (muffled voice)....she's obviously hidden a dicataphone on her

She would drive me to do a lot worse me thinks.........I think Mel Gibson displayed good self control IMHO..........can you say "Leach & Gold Digger"!!!

EDIT: About those Rota Wheels......me likey these very much......wonder what would look good on a silver car?

for Josh aka Jap_Star

>>Starlet Injectors<<

no matter how many times you see flame war its still good

[/quote/]

thanks steve. But right Now it's making 115@10psi with injectors on 94%. if I do injectors I'll soon need a pump. Then I'll need a better ecu than the safc 2, then I may as well change turbos.... And after all that it will still be a starlet and be bordering on useless.

Been in one with 155@ the wheels using a td04, f'ing rocket with an LSD, but by then that's another 5-7k. Not really worth it for me.

But who knows, I suppose I've gone this far

Josh, if your injectors are already at 94% @ 10 psi, you do need injectors.

Alternatively turn the boost down or lay off the go pedal cause she's gonna start running lean very soon.

My standard injectors ran at 100% for a couple of years and i never had a problem.

    • Gday Thought it was about time I started a build thread! As expected this project has snowballed into a huge financial liability, but unless you’re strong willed and responsible, it’s not a surprise. Background -  My first turbo car was an R32 GTS-4, got my full license and then totalled my Au Falcon a week later, so while trying to sell my RMZ450 dirtbike to buy another car a bloke offered to swap the R32 which at the time I felt like I was ripped off but looking back and seeing prices of those now ($40kish) it was a good deal, I didn’t know enough about these cars to appreciate what I had so sold it before the RB20 blew up. Between here and there, out of 12 cars I’ve owned the note worthy ones are a V8 Lexus SC400 (soarer), a couple of XR6 Turbos and my beloved S15 which I had for about 3 years, picked it up for $12500, repairable write off but she was fine, gun metal grey/pewter and bone stock/unmolested until I got my hands on it. Ended up spending about the value of the car and 280kw, 2 demerit points by the time I got defected and sold it for $14500 (also $40kish in today’s market, rip) Fast forward to the present day, I’m in a much better position financially and daily an MQ Triton (great cars, pipe down Ranger Bois), I cruised marketplace and car sales for a few months looking for another R32, the best deal I could find was an absolute rust bucket half finished project for $12000, until this R33 popped up in Port Macquarie for $18k - unregistered and barely running but decent shape, kept an eye on it for a few weeks and the price steadily dropped, $16k then $15k then $14k, that was the point where I was like shit someone’s gonna snatch this up! It was owned by a young bloke who had big plans but him and his missus just had a baby so smartest move financially for them but big gain for me. So 2 days later I’m towing a car trailer to pick this thing up. Roughly 2 weeks and $3500 later I’m cruising around Newcastle in my beat up R33 all smiles and dose noises! It only needed some basic shit to get it going, coil packs and air flow meter, electrical stuff and all fluids changed, 158k kms and running pretty good, nice smooth engine after oil and coolant flush - when I say coolant I mean it had been filled up with tap water, every gallery and heater element was filled with rust, 8-9 flushes later and still had brown liquid coming out but she’ll be right. The car was painted R34 Bayside Blue at some point but whether it was a cheap job or just not looked after is anyone’s guess, clear coat flaking like sausage roll.  Was rethinking my choices and contemplating life, had it up for sale for $22k - still cheaper than any registered R33 but got little interest, next minute I had an opportunity at work - 6 months overseas for good money, so that was a no brainer, fast forward again and here we are with a 50% finished project. Current Mods - 200ish KW according to butt dyno Was tuned with Apexi PowerFC EBC (old school Greddy Profec)  Stock turbo (more shaft play than a Tinder date gone right) 3inch turbo back Varex muffler  Aftermarket injectors of mystery size, Power FC showed 36% duty cycle at full boost so not behd good size Someone had good intentions but stuck with the stock R33 MAF so we had misfires at 6000rpm due to the MAF hitting 5.2V So far I’ve redone the entire interior with carpet form Car Mats Direct, new Seats and steering wheel from Autotechnica, also sound system by Autobarn (mainly Kicker) Also MCA pro comfort coil overs - Hands down best purchase yet, worlds of improvement over the tired 30yrold shocks Goals - 450kw/600hp on flex tune New paint job - Midnight Purple 2 Engine is at the shop getting rebuilt with forged rods a pistons, new valves and springs, ATI Harmonic balancer, Aeroflow 7.5L sump, rear head drain and oil restrictors as per oil control thread* and cam covers modded for larger breathers, other stuff I can’t recall of the top of my head Parts purchased and to be installed once the engine is done -  Engine loom from Wiring Specialties including these options: Haltech Nexus S3 R35 Coil pack conversion  PRP Dual Trigger kit Fan controller  Other Parts -  262 Kelford Cams Turbo - Hypergear ATR43SS3-ProS with T51R mod (whistly boi) 6 boost manifold (high mount) 50mm Turbosmart Pro gate (plumbed back for legal reasons) HKS Super Turbo Exhaust with High Flow Cat Custom 3.5inch dump and front pipe 1500cc Bosch injectors  Fuel Pump walbro 525 Haltech MAP and IAT sensors Haltech Flex Sensor Fenix Radiator with dual thermo fans LS1 Alternator Kit Oil Filter Relocation from EFI solutions and Cooling pro oil cooler Many other things sitting in my garage waiting for that engine to come back. Progress pics to follow -  
    • Losses have to be less with DC coupling. Provided the battery inverter has decent MPP tracking ability - which really shouldn't be a problem. It's not 2005 any more.
    • Hi, Will the R33 GTR rear brake backing plates fit a GTST? I'm struggling to find GTST ones but can find new GTR ones.   Thanks.
    • I also got the same floor mats for a bit of extra bazzaz haha
    • Some more close up pics now that I’m back to working on the car, the loop pile is nice but again haven’t compared it to the other types in person, it’s hard to tell from the pics on the website. View of the hemming on the edges too, it comes in 2 pieces - front and back, honestly very happy with it for anyone on the fence.  Also attached my previous pics from further up as it didn’t let me post them directly before. (Nothing worse than photo bucket pics that aren’t hosted anymore years later)
