best: greenday (homebake brisbane - 2000 iirc) great set, then poured something flamable onto their guitars, drum kit etc, lit it on fire, trashed their equipment. Needless to say they were escorted off stage by security

worst: blink 182 big day out 2001 - played 2 or 3 songs in an hour set. talked about their penis' until eventually booed off stage (people started pegging shoes, bottles etc at them)

Worst; Blues Traveller. Not sure what we were expecting, I was going to see John Popper on the mouth harp. The Metro was the venue and it was half full only but of really drunk country-men dancing, bumping into each other and then pushing each other. We lasted 2 or 3 songs.

My sister saw De La Soul for the 3 feet high tour, she said they were 2 hours late and then played for 40 mins. That would suck.

On the flip side, I saw De La Soul a few years ago for the 20th anniversary of 3 feet high and they toured with The Roots All Stars and it was amazing! Supported by Cut Chemist.

My favourite is probably seeing AC/DC's Black Ice tour at ANZ Stadium and not only for the women who lifted their tops. :woot::rolleyes:

AC/DC with Bon Scott at the helm years ago at Wagga...........best ever!!!! [And I've seen them 3 times since]. Thats when they were dirty, brash, and loud.

Worst Lucinda Williams at the State Theatre 2010??.......my missus liked her and I really liked her Live at the Fillmore double CD [she reminded me of Neil Youngs Live Rust which was another great album]. Was that zonked out she could only just manage to stand up, and had to keep reading her lyrics from an auto cue. We felt like asking for our money back!!!!

Funny you should say this, I saw De La a few years ago and they came on early if anything (I missed the start of their set), played a short set and it was all wrapped up fairly early. I was very dissapointed. Would have loved to have seen De La/Roots/Cut Chemist, damn thats a line up!

I saw DJ Afrika Bambaataa the last time he came to Perth and the gig was straight up amazing! Best gig I've ever been too.

Im usually pretty selective about bands i go see. Usually its a rowdy or abusive crowd that spoils it.

Massive Attack at Sidney Myer Bowl. Had never been there before but sound wasnt bad, just open air is so hard to capture or sound effective. I paid $160 when tickets came out, no one was buying them so they dropped to $80.... Then $40. Was so pissed off.

The Horrors at Corner Hotel. Smaller venue, big sound and lots of smoke. Saw them again at The Forum and it just wasnt the same.

How To Dress Well at a short-lived venue in Brunswick. Came on stage drunk, polishing off the remains of a bottle of Jack, abused the sound guys any chance he could get as there was lots of feedback. Decent gig but super awkward between songs.

Not so much a gig but I've been going to "One Day Sundays", it's basically a cool Sunday sesh buy Sydney hip hop collective "One Day", always a few cool hip hop DJs on the decks and they go around the country doing Sunday sessions in major cities. If you can get to one, do it. They are really great.

      Admin delete if not allowed please, I just purchased an r32 GTST with a Gtr front bar , grill I assume bonnet? (maybe) I have 2 questions he told me it had an RB25det I’m new to the RB world, and this is the photo I have taken and also I noticed a piece near my suspension broken is this fixable , will update new photos tomorrow once I have lifted her up and removed the LHS wheel I want to know if there is ways around this , I didn’t notice anything as it drove with no knocks on the suspension or weird feeling    the car feels sluggish, and the rpm cluster literally goes to 3.5-4k rpm and when you put your foot down it dances around like the local girl on Canterbury road or Sefton playhouse the car sat for 8 years he said the oil was dropped and re done , I noticed the oil was very clean car starts no problems by all means it’s not a clean car it is a project but doesn’t need much, knowing me I will go overboard the colour is horrible car has 88k kms hardly driven needs a few things but it’ll be fun to build properly    so guys is this an rb20 or rb25 and what is this bracket called? Can it be fixed thanks

      rb26, build year ? check my math

      By Butters · Posted

      found this on the forum , suggests I am in the range  ----------------------------- From the segmented (potentially incorrect) information I've found that;  Early R32: RB26000XXXX to RB26002XXXX  Mid R32: RB26003XXXX (V-Spec I RB26-03XXXXX - Reference Classic Register) Late R32: RB26004XXXX (V-Spec II RB26-042XXXX - RB26-045XXXX - Reference Classic Register) Early R33: RB26005XXXX Mid R33: RB26006XXXX (as per the engine in this R32 V-Spec II, which is what I'm concerned about from legitimacy perspective) Late R33:  RB26007XXXX Early R34 (2000+):  RB26008XXXX ----------------------

      Now as I understand it the engine numbers are sequential for the rb26.  EG stamped - RB26040100A is a 40,100 engine.    Now they made between 1988 and 1994 43,834 R32 GTR's  In 1994 they made 7,464 r32 gtr's.  So if you have a ~37,000++ number RB26 it's "safe" ish to assume its an 1994 motor and a long nose crank ?    The long nose crank being introduced somewhere in Feb of 1993.
