LOL i had forgotten about this, for all the trolls who cant quite read between the lines...i was kidding, as in joking, as in having a laugh as in..well you get the idea.

As for trees whizzing past in Maq pass etc, you dont need to break the speed limit for that to scare the crap out of you!

Is true. Mac Pass is quite an exhilarating drive, even at the limit.

Thread revival

I was beginning to think this was bullshit until this morning - spotted RTA boys ripping the Angledale (north Bega) speed camera out of the ground, and a local council truck going to town on the "speed camera ahead" signs. No more camera!

i always have a good giggle at people being done there... sure they're trigger happy, but people go flying up to get through and get done anyway... just wait and save yourself $230 or so?

...or the risk of t-boning a car that has gone through a set of lights when they are GREEN. It often stuns me when I roll up and stop at a set of lights as they've gone orange and see someone two cars back still go through that same set of lights - surely if I could stop in time, they could too, right?

On that basis, there are plenty of sets of lights I use that I ALWAYS double-check when the lights change to green, even if I'm a few cars back from the intersection.

My missus was involved in an accident just like you are describing; she entered a dual lane intersection from a freeway off ramp, on a green light. As she got into the middle of the intersection, she was hit between the D/S B pillar & rear wheel by a guy running the light; doing about 70- 80km/h.

This guy must've missed the yellow by at least 5-10 secs

There was a car (to her right) stopped in the lane closest to the gutter, so she wouldn't have been able to see this dope even if she'd wanted to. The lane closest to the centre island was empty, so he figured he'd just bowl through.:blink:

If he'd been there a little earlier, she'd have copped it square in the drivers door, and judging by the damage to the rear passenger door, she would've almost certainly ended up with a broken leg/hip/pelvis and possibly head injuries from hitting the window. The amount of bruising she ended up with was incredible; the whole right side of her body, from shoulder to knee; she was completely black.

I used to just belt out on the green; but since then, I'm much more observant. On a motorbike; you'd be dead.

Back on topic; they don't seem in to much of a hurry to remove the revenue raisers on that deathtrap of a straight piece of road; the M4...

yeah, i don't get why people are in such a hurry. who cares, it's 2-4 minutes of your life. change the track on your ipod, close your eyes for a second, have a breather. it's alllllll good.

wooooooosssaaaaaaahhh

3 to 4 minutes is a super long time to wait when you need to take a leak uber bad though!

      Rb26/30 build

      And if you want more power, more reliably, and cheaper, go get the Aussie RB... The 4L Barra and put that in instead.

      No cats will keep discolouring the rear bar. Sends white paint a weird yellow stain. Cut and polish normally gets it out, but you'll be doing that every fortnight I found.

      Rb26/30 build

      By Butters · Posted

      Both heads will be equally reliable or unreliable depending on what you do to them.  Stock the RB26 head will flow more. You have access to the stock intake ITB manifold on the RB26 cheaply which flows really well(1000hp+).   Arguably more aftermarket support for RB26, though in Aus we love our RB30 SOHC heads too.    The only downsides to the RB26 head is if you have a VL commodore and want to keep the SOHC look.  Where you may have an issue is drilling out the rb30 block for the bigger head studs but if you are building a big power motor you'd probably put bigger studs on the SOHC head too.  This is just about finding a good machine shop, sometimes easier said than done.  RB30 head worked can make big power just like a Rb26 head, so really it actually more comes down to what your preference is for your car.  People now even making billet versions of both.

      Rb26/30 build

      2630s work perfectly well. There is something to be said for just using the 30 head, as it saves all the pain of the conversion, still makes tons of power, still sounds cool, etc etc. 2630 will obviously make more power again, but the differences are not stupidly big. It really depends on whether you're racing for sheep stations or not. If it's dead serious, then it's a 26 head. If it's just for fun, it could go either way. But the 26 head and the effort to get it set up, etc etc, is part of the fun.

      I've been building a 26/30 for a few years now. I've had the head built with all the good stuff. I had a 32 gtr but blew it up and yes its all going into a vl but im looking for some advice from some RB nuts on pros and cons on putting a 26 head on a 30 bottom end is it worth it Works are as follows Head -Extensive porting 1mm oversized supertech valves Supertech double springs Supertech valve guides Supertech titanium retainers Tomei solid lifters Tomei 270 x 10.25 cams Head drain Bottom end series 2 rb30 block Cp ceramic coated pistons Eagle rods Romac balancer Oil restrictions  O ringed blah blah spent a fortune And will get a girdle because the 30s arent used to handling that much rpm Nitto billet oil pump Hypertune plenum 6boost mani Refurbed astra pump thats the cover for it in the boot I did have a precision 6262 but sold it because drag car life. Currently building the ass end full 4 link floater rear end with a 2 speed  But the dilemma i have is my mate rekens I should just stick with the 30 head for reliability. Has any one had any issues with mounting the 26 head ie compression blowing gaskets etc. Just looking for some advice from people who have gone down this route. Here's some photos. Blew the oil pump in the gtr and decided to rip the motor out at the time and do a full build only to find it had been a repairable write off so went down this path.
