Much as I'd love an Aussie autobahn, can you imagine if we actually had one here in Sydney?

You'd be hammering down the fast lane at a 160km/h cruise and all of a sudden there'd be a beige camry merging into your lane doing about 40 with no indicator.

Yeah had a think after, with all the people in rustbuckets trying to hit the speed limit - things would not end well.. It would be pretty nice though to have a higher speed limit between states/major cities, like from Sydney to Melbourne.

But there's no getting past the point of the way some people drive here... down.gif

hhhmm that was close! But lucky the driver noticed that the noob was merging.

I'm not suggesting a 2 lane autobahn, but something like a 4 lane highway, with the right lane barricaded (kind of like on the bridge when entering the city) where only certain vehicles can enter that lane (like a bus lane). Pay a one off fee of $50 for each PERSON and anyone caught driving in that lane is fined $1000 and 8 points. high fine might deter camry noobs and let's face it. The government has to make some money off it or it's not Australia right?

I suggest the autobahns on roads like the hume highway or something. Somewhere emptier than others so it's safe.

The above is all bullsh!t of a world i shall build one day!!! :(

On a serious note, we'll never have anything epic here :(

Time to break out a new Oz film called "3Hands"

fatz' R32 barrelling along the hume autobahn with RB25PWR's 'checkered blue'n white' in pursuit

> along comes the VFT with accomplice FST513 hangin out the window trying to shoot the tyres out of the pursuit car

> bad shooting

> misses everything except MaTBoY's 'transformer' camry coming outta side road trying to dodge bullets at 5km/hr

> T-Bones the R32

> 'checkered blue'n white rear-ends the R32

> end of "3Hands"

yeah he's dreamin'...

I would love to see an Autobahn style road, but I don't beleive the soil in Australia is stable enough to handle it without very strict maintainance... and we all know how well Parramatta Rd is maintained :rolleyes:

Have you ever watched the documentary on the Autobahn and how it is maintained and monitored? Fook me dead it's one high tech piece of road!

Plus, 15 minutes MAXIMUM from when you crash, to a helicopter touching down with a team of paramedics!

15 MINUTES!!!

We have a half an hour delay of the bird getting in the air in Wollongong after the Ambulance service requests the chopper!

I was actually thinking about that when driving the f3 last night. There were some parts where the car (magna) was a little exciting at the speed limit, there aren't many places where 140 would be safe in it (140 because theres a smaller political party pushing for that speed).

And this would be one of the better cars on the road, serviced regularly, abs, good tyres, suspension is good, has easily enough power to get up to speed etc... as opposed to some old hyundai crapbox maxing out at 105.

Point is, in an above average car it'd be on the unsafe side, I sure wouldn't want to be on that road with everyone trying to push beyond their car's safe limits

    • Seems like a decent result for a modded JZX110. They are bulky in comparison to the 100 and 90 models (which I'd prefer myself) but they are getting very few and far between here in JP these days. Thanks for the detailed review and the import process into the UK. I also have a car which I'm hoping to export from Japan at some stage so it's good to know if someone from the UK was interested in it. By the way the corrosion underneath is par for the course for cars which were located in/near the mountains or along the Japan sea coastline. They get huge amounts of snow every winter and the sodium chloride is used on the roads. Many cars have some kind of rubber like treatment underneath but they tend to limit it to the wheel arches underbody and fuel tank. Suspension arms and sub-frames will have similar corrosion to your JZX110 which is a common sight. See it all the time and car dealers here generally don't even mention it unless asked.
    • If the sound goes away when you clutch in, the 1.5/2 way diffs are just shit, and you are a normal person. The diff is likely "fine" but driving at anything under 30kmh is a violent horrible experience. It would be exaggerated with solid diff bushings and subframe bushings if you have those.
    • Trailer got new mudguards to accommodate the new wheels Lightweight ally Painted, stickered and done ✅ 👌  
    • Did you hit up the search function? R33 and greddy and cable returns this thread with some options.   https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/358214-rb25-throttle-body/
