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 :(

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

      RB20DE NEO smallbox clutch.

      By Kapr · Posted

      Hi...so a "development" here aswell The swap is "done" and car went "test drive" BUT it seems the clutch(maybe gearbox?) is a little bit sad? I bought this clutch kit https://justjap.com/products/xtreme-heavy-duty-organic-clutch-flywheel-kit-nissan-skyline-r31-r32-r33-push-type "Problem" is that the first gear is hard to put into and it seems that the clutch is not disengaged. It was not the problem with the old clutch...(or like sometime the first gear would not get as easy specialy when the fluid was cold) So? Can it be like...bad "install" or is the clutch wrong ((it should not have been) i done research to get the right one) Or is this "normal" with new clutch and needs to be break in?

      R33 GTST Steering Rack (49001-19U05) Rebuild?

      By Gantai · Posted

      Hey everyone, Wanted to pick some brains about this issue I'm having with rebuilding my 33 rack (PN is 49001-19U05). All of the tutorials/videos I've seen online are either R34 or S Chassis racks which seem to be pretty straightforward to disassemble but this process doesnt carry over to my rack. Few of the key differences that I've noted The pinion shaft on the other racks bolt on with 3 torx bolts: Whereas my rack bolts on with 2 allen head bolts: These changes are pretty inconsequential but the main difference is how you pull the actual rack out of the housing. The other skyline/s chassis racks can be taken out by tapping the rack out of the body with a socket and it just slides right out. I'm unable to do that with my rack because there's a hard stop at the end that doesn't let the seal/shaft be tapped out. Can also see a difference in the other end of the rack where mine has a notch that looks like you're able to use a big wrench to unthread 2 halves of the rack whereas the other racks are just kinda set in with a punch. My rack: Other racks: TLDR; Wanted to know if anyone has rebuilt this specific model of steering rack for the R33 and if there were any steps to getting it done easier or if I should just give this to a professional to get done. Sorry if this post is a bit messy, first one I've done.

      I would just put EBC back on the "I would not use their stuff" pile and move on.
