Another stolen motorbike from knox, crashed at nunawadin thief died (veered off into tree), do these guys not know how to ride or something

My logic says the kind of person who needs to steal a bike to ride one doesn't have the intellect to ride one sensibly.

There's also the factor that if they actually had their own bike then they'd probably know how to ride too, but instead their expertise is the theft of the bike rather than the riding of it.

Good riddance to another scumbag who thinks someone else's hard earned is theirs for the taking.

You seem upset... maybe you should go for a nice long ri.......

Oh...

Anyone been to any of the qld theme parks in the last 10 years? Possibly going with someone who has never been to any. After value for money and things for 20-somethings, not too much kids stuff.

Want to do just 1 park.

been to the lot.

Sea world is still fun if you're into Animals. And really any chance to see penguins is worth it.

FOr more older rides Movie world is def the best. roller coasters and other rides aimed at a bit higher age bracket

IF weather good Wet and wild is a fun day, plus a good view.

would skip Dream world does not seem to be keeping as up to date.

Hmmmm.

Not really interested in seeing animals, and most major attractions seem for the kiddies.

From what I heard unanimously in primary school was that the queues at wet and wild were huge waiting times, but I love water rides

Dream world has animals, rides and water activities in one park. If you can only do one, I'd say dream world.

My favourite out of the 4 would have to be Movie World. There are still plenty of rides to have fun on, but most of all when you don't feel like going on rides there are cool things around. If you're into movies you'll definitely enjoy it.

Dreamworld would be second, followed by Wet N Wild third. White Water World is a bit of a dud, I wouldn't bother.

Thanks for the tip, will avoid.

Not sure how every second kid in Australia goes with their entire family and does every park over a week. Need CFMEU wages for that Shit, and even then you still have to pay off your boat, GTO, 4WD and Harley at the same time.

Movie world has the cool evo drift thing.. least they did a few years back

Dream world better rides though I reckon

Careful with this, if you drift an evo you get slight sidewall scuff and then get defected on new years eve by the Mansfield HWP.

Fkn country cops.

Because of this, I recommend dreamworld (plus movieworld if you've got time for 2). Dreamworld also has its own water park, if you want to go cool off but don't want a full day at wet n wild.

This covers some of the regulatory changes i mentioned a few months back when we were discussing the housing market... it goes into more detail than I was willing to and shows that APRA are trying hard to slow growth (particularly investment)

It's worded a little incorrectly as it implies banks were the main reasoning for the new regs, but you get the idea

Ooo looks like I just scraped in.

Borrowing power looks to have dropped much more than the housing boom cooling off.

It's tightened regulations around home lending affordability as directed by APRA in an effort to slow the housing boom and prevent a "burst"

That's what I meant when I said it's a little misleading

    • I'm looking for some real world experiences/feed back from anyone who has personally ran a EFR7670 with a 1.05 exhaust housing or a .83 I'm leaning towards the .83 because its a street car used mostly for spirited driving in the canyons roads. I"m not looking for big numbers on paper. I want a responsive powerband that will be very linear to 8000 rpm. I dont mind if power remains somewhat flat but dont want power to drop off on top. The turbo I've purchased is a 1.05, although the mounting flange T3 vs T4 and internal vs external waste gates are different on both housings, I not concern about swapping parts or making fabrication mods to get what I want. Based on some of the research I've done with chat gpt, the 1.05 housing seems to be the way to go with slightly more lag and future proofing for more mods but recommends .83 for best response/street car setup. AI doesn't have the same emotions as real people driving a GTR so I think you guys will be able to give me better feed back 😀   
    • Surely somebody has one in VIC. Have you asked at any shops?  Is this the yearly inspection or did you get a canary?
    • This is where I share pain with you, @Duncan. The move to change so many cooling system pieces to plastic is a killer! Plastic end tanks and a few plastic hose flanges on my car's fail after so little time.  Curious about the need for a bigger rad, is that just for long sessions in the summer or because the car generally needs more cooling?
    • So, that is it! It is a pretty expensive process with the ATF costing 50-100 per 5 litres, and a mechanic will probably charge plenty because they don't want to do it. Still, considering how dirty my fluid was at 120,000klm I think it would be worth doing more like every 80,000 to keep the trans happy, they are very expensive to replace. The job is not that hard if you have the specialist tools so you can save a bit of money and do it yourself!
    • OK, onto filling. So I don't really have any pics, but will describe the process as best I can. The USDM workshop manual also covers it from TM-285 onwards. First, make sure the drain plug (17mm) is snug. Not too tight yet because it is coming off again. Note it does have a copper washer that you could replace or anneal (heat up with a blow torch) to seal nicely. Remove the fill plug, which has an inhex (I think it was 6mm but didn't check). Then, screw in the fill fitting, making sure it has a suitable o-ring (mine came without but I think it is meant to be supplied). It is important that you only screw it in hand tight. I didn't get a good pic of it, but the fill plug leads to a tube about 70mm long inside the transmission. This sets the factory level for fluid in the trans (above the join line for the pan!) and will take about 3l to fill. You then need to connect your fluid pump to the fitting via a hose, and pump in whatever amount of fluid you removed (maybe 3 litres, in my case 7 litres). If you put in more than 3l, it will spill out when you remove the fitting, so do quickly and with a drain pan underneath. Once you have pumped in the required amount of clean ATF, you start the engine and run it for 3 minutes to let the fluid circulate. Don't run it longer and if possible check the fluid temp is under 40oC (Ecutek shows Auto Trans Fluid temp now, or you could use an infrared temp gun on the bottom of the pan). The manual stresses the bit about fluid temperature because it expands when hot an might result in an underfil. So from here, the factory manual says to do the "spill and fill" again, and I did. That is, put an oil pan under the drain plug and undo it with a 17mm spanner, then watch your expensive fluid fall back out again, you should get about 3 litres.  Then, put the drain plug back in, pump 3 litres back in through the fill plug with the fitting and pump, disconnect the fill fitting and replace the fill plug, start the car and run for another 3 minutes (making sure the temp is still under 40oC). The manual then asks for a 3rd "spill and fill" just like above. I also did that and so had put 13l in by now.  This time they want you to keep the engine running and run the transmission through R and D (I hope the wheels are still off the ground!) for a while, and allow the trans temp to get to 40oC, then engine off. Finally, back under the car and undo the fill plug to let the overfill drain out; it will stop running when fluid is at the top of the levelling tube. According to the factory, that is job done! Post that, I reconnected the fill fitting and pumped in an extra 0.5l. AMS says 1.5l overfill is safe, but I started with less to see how it goes, I will add another 1.0 litres later if I'm still not happy with the hot shifts.
