Went for a cruise last night through and around the city, seriously its a ghost town out there. - some cars are out and about taking advantage of the empty streets. 

Wondering if there are still any Brisbane meets happening or week night cruises ?? 

Its been a while since I have been in SAU scene, feel free to delete or link me to a more relevant thread if there is one. 

Here is a pic of my child that takes way to much of my money. :P

I don't give a shit about myself catching COVID-19 or almost anyone else I know, because I know it's basically just a cold and except for my oldies, no-one is likely to even get sick enough to go to h

You need to take this seriously mate. Trump didn't and as a result a quarter of a million or more Americans could die. There are going to be long term consequences of this pandemic and in the modern connected world it will have to be defeated in every country before  we can expect anything resembling normalcy.

250k is conservative. 8% of the country getting infected is super, super unlikely considering how lax the measures were. Florida didn't shut down the beaches and the net effect is that they helped seed the disease across the entire country:

I was actually in the city today!! Unfortunately couldn't organise meet as I was there for work, but thought this sign kind of paints a different meaning in these current times... Still plenty of cars on the road due to construction and trades still in full swing.

I think most of us have UHF Radio's  (we don't even need to get out of the car)  & as by 'meet' I am meaning just doing some happy laps since the streets are so empty.  

It's not illegal to go for a drive, is it? I went for a drive last night & there were quite a few nice cars just lapping around. 

GTofuS-T - Engine has been changed quite a bit since that photo & yeh it did actually let through some sand from a road work site and screwed by turbo.... but that's a whole other turbo. 

& yeh thatt keep left sign.... righhhhttt.. ?

 

Any way was just a thought to get some socialising in while keeping our distance. 

 

Be safe peeps.

that's debatable, QPol does seem to have gone full retard on this one, i'd be keen though but based on the GC so a bit far for a cruise

Yeah, not sure what's happening in their heads.

Had a few people at work say they have been pulled over and asked where they are going. 

Wherever the f**k I want. Quite a lot of things are still legal to do, and just going for a drive is not harming anybody. If anything, being pulled over has been the only risky thing so far. 

Going to take the motorbike bike for a slow spin up cootha, just to get the fluids in there moving and charge the battery. 

Will see how I go

Good luck with that. Certainly doesn't meet the reasons to be out of your home. It's only a 1500 ish fine...

absolutely this! I saw 2 guys getting fined the other day for sitting on a bench after getting out of the surf... ironically there were 3 cops together to do that important civic duty.

Going home from getting petrol? Just went to the bakery to get breakfast? It doesn't say I need to take a direct route home. 

People are allowed to go out and get hair cuts....

Like I  said, good luck with it. I would imagine if you tried the "doesnt say i need to take a direct route home" you will get a fine.

but hey, you do you.

what would they fine me for....?

There is even a statement from the Minister for Health and Ambulance services stating that motorcycle riding is a form of exercise.

But hey, I will do my research and what I am legally entitled to do, and you can continue to offer misinformed advice, and you do you.

      RB20DE NEO smallbox clutch.

      By Kapr · Posted

      Hi...so a "development" here aswell The swap is "done" and car went "test drive" BUT it seems the clutch(maybe gearbox?) is a little bit sad? I bought this clutch kit https://justjap.com/products/xtreme-heavy-duty-organic-clutch-flywheel-kit-nissan-skyline-r31-r32-r33-push-type "Problem" is that the first gear is hard to put into and it seems that the clutch is not disengaged. It was not the problem with the old clutch...(or like sometime the first gear would not get as easy specialy when the fluid was cold) So? Can it be like...bad "install" or is the clutch wrong ((it should not have been) i done research to get the right one) Or is this "normal" with new clutch and needs to be break in?

      R33 GTST Steering Rack (49001-19U05) Rebuild?

      R33 GTST Steering Rack (49001-19U05) Rebuild?

      By Gantai · Posted

      Hey everyone, Wanted to pick some brains about this issue I'm having with rebuilding my 33 rack (PN is 49001-19U05). All of the tutorials/videos I've seen online are either R34 or S Chassis racks which seem to be pretty straightforward to disassemble but this process doesnt carry over to my rack. Few of the key differences that I've noted The pinion shaft on the other racks bolt on with 3 torx bolts: Whereas my rack bolts on with 2 allen head bolts: These changes are pretty inconsequential but the main difference is how you pull the actual rack out of the housing. The other skyline/s chassis racks can be taken out by tapping the rack out of the body with a socket and it just slides right out. I'm unable to do that with my rack because there's a hard stop at the end that doesn't let the seal/shaft be tapped out. Can also see a difference in the other end of the rack where mine has a notch that looks like you're able to use a big wrench to unthread 2 halves of the rack whereas the other racks are just kinda set in with a punch. My rack: Other racks: TLDR; Wanted to know if anyone has rebuilt this specific model of steering rack for the R33 and if there were any steps to getting it done easier or if I should just give this to a professional to get done. Sorry if this post is a bit messy, first one I've done.

      I would just put EBC back on the "I would not use their stuff" pile and move on.
