Was driving home last night from oakleigh, driving on princess highway at around 11 30pm or so i see a shit load of imports racing, drags were on so i decided to just follow and watch. Anyways i stayed for about an hour or so just watching until i decided to go home, on my way home i get pulled over by a cop in a motorbike, this is the first time ive been pulled over. Cop asks me if i did a U-turn back on princess highway, i said no im pretty sure i didnt. Goes back to hes bike for a good 10 mins and fines me $180 bucks no demerit for a U-turn i didnt do =s I was beginning to think the whole skyline cop bait thing was just a rumour =[ atleast i didnt cop any points so im not fussed that much lol.

Very true not into that alternative nonesense myself

it's not alternative anymore.... I just cant listen to it for fear they will rape my ears with aussie "hip hop"

You just keep telling yourself that...

oh yes please do let me hear the 'aussie rap' I'm fascinated by the tales of hardship and despair it must have been tough coming up from the hard streets of Australia.. straight hustlin no doubt. hustlin all the way down to centrelink to collect benefits that would rival minimum wage in other countries that mind you work is actually required to obtain.

and the bogan twang yeh just aint gangster.

smoothfm is where its at. #realmusic

You're going to pay a fine for something you didn't do?

yeh thats car life for ya.<br /> <br />fkn sucks would only ever buy someone else hard work if i got another import doing it yourself is a fools choice too expensive to many headaches.

<br /><br />Yeh I know what you mean, next import, ill just pay someone to modd it..

Yeah im just going to pay it cbf with the headaches of taking it to court.

I did do U-turns but i did them where i was allowed to. There were signs that said no U-turns 10pm-6am i went further down and did them where i was allowed to. There were heaps of other r33 silver skylines, maybe he got me confused with someone else? When he asked me if i did a u-turn i said no, he went back to hes radio and got more info.

Id be pissed if i lost points but i didnt so im happy lol.

Bullshit chances are slim to none, I've contested 2 fines in the last couple of years. One of them went to court, they didn't show up and so it was overturned. The other I was actually in the wrong I sent it back saying I'd contest in in court and it was overturned just off that.

anyways, i filled my car up full tank with 100 octane, counted how much i got out of a full tank, i got 350 km with the needle being a few mm away from hitting the completely last bar, probably could of lasted until 375-400 but i didnt wanna risk running out of fuel lol. Im guessing my cars drinking alot more then it should? Any ideas on getting better fuel consumption? I was driving it soft changing gear around 3k rpm.

Most Aussie rap isn't about stuff like that, which is why many move to it from / prefer it to the American stuff, cause it's not just the same old "life was shit as a dealer and a killer, but look at me now, I got a contract and a Maybach, later haters".

That being said, even when the lyrics are "woe is me", you don't have to be black and growing up in Detroit/Brooklyn/Crenshaw to have a hard upbringing. Plenty of abusive families, violence and homeless people in Australia!

How many litres did you fill it up with? I'm guessing around 50 litres, in which case that's pretty normal economy for a Skyline. And if it hasn't been done, changing the oxygen sensor can help your fuel economy. But I wouldn't be bother if you net around 400km from 50 litres.

A light will come on when the needle is near the E and you'll still have 20km or so left. It's a 60 litre tank.

I dont hate aussie hip hop based off the life... I hate it cos it SOUNDS shit.

every group just sounds like the hilltops no matter how much the fans try to say it doesn't... and since the hilltops sound like an audio track of 2 men open mouth kissing.. that pretty much rules out aussie hip hop for me.

Yeah not of a fan it sounds like arse either way.

Fair enough if you don't like the sound/accent/production. That was an acquired taste for me, but it helped that I was relatively bored of US hip hop by then...even the less mainstream acts like Atmosphere, Aesop Rock, old Lupe Fiasco etc. Aussie has a backyard relatable quality to it that you can't find in rap from another country; also helps if you mix with people who like it too.

It might sound or look silly, but in the same light, so does an Aussie kid in his car, rapping along to a 50 cent song about American landmarks etc.!

    • You just need to remove the compressor housing, not the entire turbo. I would not be drilling and tapping anything with the housing still on anyways. 
    • So, I put my boat on a boat. First of all, I'm going to come out and say it. Why is Tasmania not considered a holy goal, an apex that all road-legal modified cars go to, to experience? This place is an absolute wonderland of titanic proportions. If people are already getting club runs for once in a lifetime 30 person cruises to Tassy then I've never seemed to see it. It is like someone replaced the entire place with an idyllic wonderland for cars, and all of the people living there with paid actors who are kind, humble, and friendly. Dear god. After doing a lap of almost all of the place I've found that it's a great way to find out all of the little things that the car isn't doing quite right and a great way to figure it all out. All in all, I drove for 4 hours a day for a week and nothing broke. I didn't even need to open the engine bay. This is by all means a great success, but it has left me with a list of things to potentially address. I also now have a 3D printed wheel fitment tool which annoyingly hasn't got any threads in it to actually assemble it. I might be able to tape it together to check the sizing I actually want to use, but it'll likely involving pulling the shocks out to properly measure travel at least at the front, and probably raise the car while I'm at it, at least in the rear. I scraped on quite a few things and I'm not sure how else to go about it. I was taking anything with a bump at what felt like 89 degree angles. And address those 10 other tasks. And wash the car. God damn it is dirty. And somehow, the weather was perfect the entire time - And because I was on the top of Mt Wellington it turns out it was very much about to freeze up there. I did something I typically never do and took some photos up there in what must have been -10 and the foggy felt like suspended ice, rather than mere fog. If you own a car in Australia, you owe it to yourself to do it.
    • Damn that was hilarious, and a bit embarrassing for skylines in general 😂 vintage car life ey. That R33 really stomped. Pretty entertaining stuff
    • Hi, I have a r32 gtr transmission. Does any of you guys have an idea how much power it will hold with the billet center plate and stock gearset? At what power level and use did yours brake with or without billet plate? Thanks, Oystein Lovik
    • Saw this replica police car based on a Mitsubishi Starion XX parked next to a 'police box' (it's literally a box) in Hirohata, Himeji City in Hyogo prefecture the other day. It's owned by Morii-san who is a local Mitsubishi Starion enthusiast. According to a local radio station blog post, he always wanted to make a police car himself based on ones he saw in his favourite Manga comics.  As it's illegal to modify a car to look like a police car and drive on the road, Morii-san tried many times to get permission from Aboshi police station headquarters nearby. They refused initially by after they got tired of that they granted him permission. However, the car can only be displayed on private property and obviously can't be registered as long as the police livery is present. The car was completed at a cost of 1.5 million yen (US$ 10,000) in addition to the car cost. A location was chosen outside Hirohata Police box where the car can easily been seen from the street. Morii-san has two other Starion road cars, both widebody GSR-VRs.
