You laugh now, but when I'm at a formal occasion with a shitty DJ and they need someone to drop Dre beats...I have something up my sleeve.

I don't see this ever happening lol.

"INFLUENTIAL Liberal senator Cory Bernardi wants all learner drivers to be taught how to handle a motorbike as well — even if they don’t intend to ride one."

They should learn how to ride motorbikes. Much more road awareness created by learning those skills along with an appreciation for how fragile human beings are on the road, on a bike or in a car. Forgotten very easily in the daily routine activity of driving.

That isn't such a bad idea.

Same goes for trucks. Too many people cutting off trucks not realising that trucks take longer to brake.

I reckon it's the cause of this mornings accident in eastern freeway.

needs to be said.

we need to improve our driving test.

and stop parents teaching kids/getting hours in.

make mandatory lessons with a registered instructor law.

too many times i have seen learners sat in the right hand lane for 5km and they are not turning. etc etc etc.

the state of driving in this country is terrible.

im not saying the basic driving skill, im saying the ability to drive to the rules and conditions of the road.

tldr?

your a shit kent driver mate.

I went to kmart tyre and auto thinking i'd be able to get some cheap tyres for my car, (245/35/19) dude says the range upwards from $300 im like uw0tm8? I'm like how much for Nitto invos in that size if you can get them in? his like 337+ fitting each. I'm like uw0tm8 look up ebay on my phone in front of him and see 2 for $388.. think I'll just buy something online and get them fitted somewhere.. unless people actually know of a place where I can spend like $200 on half decent tyres fitted?

My usual place closed down.. I suppose I could just go to traction tyres but thought even they are rips these days?

I don't think I've ever seen a retail store stock any item cheaper than Internet. Not sure why you were surprised to find tyres cheaper online...

$200 for decent 19's? My 17's cost over $200 from retail stores...

On a semi-related note... you know you go to a tyre shop too often when they've got your car for several hours tracking down a puncture to repair and checking the rest of the rim in their tank to make sure there's no other leaks... Then you get them to swap the lock nuts on the rims to the standard nuts you supplied but they misread the work sheet and only did 4 nuts from each wheel... so the manager does it himself in the hot sun by hand.

Then he says "Oh don't even worry about it, no charge"

      Unsolicited advice? Keep the engine as close to stock as you can. Nothing wrong with adding some boost and making a little more power, but given where you are, you really don't want to try to make it into a monster. I can't imagine the roads are up to it, and the lack of locla support when it grenades will be a ball ache. FWIW, If there is a dyno around that you can access, then brand new injectors are a good idea, which will lead you to (at least) putting a Nistune in it, which will allow you to put an R35 AFM on it, all of which will make it possible to make it much much nicer to drive and live with.

      List all of your mods. It sounds like an aftermarket ECU hitting rev limiter. Like a valet mode, or a cold rpm limiter?

      "Cheap" bolt on turbo on RB25DET NEO

      By tylink720 · Posted

      @Kapr Haha yeah thats the one. I missed that you had a built up engine, I wouldn't want to run it on there either then. It was good in my situation just to replace the original turbo on a stock engine. @MBS206Yep definitely not a replacement for anything name brand
