From what i can gather, this change not only has a 0% chance of being implemented but even if it did it would not affect us. The proposed speed limit by Bracks is apparently only going to apply to brand spankin new Australian produced cars. It may become a compliance issue but i still dont think that it will affect skylines whatsoever considering that even the newest R34 GTR would not be considered a new car.

The fact is this: this will only affect those brand new Commo's and Falcornies not us. So therfore the only people complaining should be people on the HSV or FPV forums, not us.

P.S- Sucked in... you VB drinkin Bogans :P Now skyline owners wont be getting any drags from brand new stock HSV's

But that would suck! Thats the best thing about dragging in a skyline, killing the top of the line Fords & Holdens with our little 2.5 & 2.6 L engines !

Well then i guess we'll need to do it within the speed limit :P which shouldnt be a problem anyway so dont fret. Its just that the V8's wont be so eager. Also imagine track days, there will be a lot less bogans out there if the new cars had that limit, they would need the mod them to race.

Therefore more space for skylines :)

Interesting idea...

Flash back... I can remember shopping for a new car with dad when i was like 7 (1980's) and he was looking round the car yard for a suitable family car. I was looking at the spedo's on every car and saying to dad this one can go 200kph... no wait this one can go 260kph... hold on this one can go 280kph... I thought that this was the top speed of the motor vehicle... (Remember i was only 7)... If only life was still so simple... LOL

      Duncan's V37.......race car?

      By soviet_merlin · Posted

      Thanks for doing that Duncan! Makes you a good person in my books. We don't get kangaroos or wombats here. But we have bats and it's similar. AFAIK it's often the mums with a baby attached that get hit because they drop lower when starting from a tree. If you hit an animal, check on it. https://www.ifaw.org/au/resources/wildlife-rescue-app An app to get the closest wildlife rescue contact.

      Jacks that fit under GTR lips that can reach the subframe?

      My dream is also to have a proper hoist, but I don't think it will ever happen. My quickjack is probably as close as I'll ever get, it really is very good though.

      Yeah we keep on in the dailies, it is pretty poor how many animals get hit and the driver leaves without checking....have saved a couple of little ones over the years. Bit of a gruesome job though, pouches generally need to be cut open because they are so tight and often the joey doesn't realise mum is gone so they are still locked onto the teat. I checked the modules in front of the DS wheel where an oil cooler should go.... There is the radar unit - that can go for race use) One of the 2 HX water pumps, the silver cylinder. That needs to be kept but might be able to be relocated But the bad news, the big computer mounted vertically in front of the wheel (blocking any potential air exit) is the electric steering computer. That is required until/unless i do a hydraulic steering conversion, and in CAD based modern car design it is not like I can just pop a big unit like that somewhere else (plus the loom would be too short anywhere else too). So, the passenger side is OK to clear out (just use a smaller washer reservoir, potentially elsewhere), but the DS no beuno

      Well, all the best with the new camry It was interesting to hear about the UK process, it is generally a lot more streamlined here with a shipping agent looking after all the import side (noting the exact final price can still be a surprise.....) and I've used a few different brokers on the japan (or US) side, and never had any trouble with any of them....luck of the draw I guess. You mentioned you didn't get the auction sheet (understandable since you bought it from a dealer, not auction), but I always try and get hold of that because they are pretty thorough. I've imported 2x R grade vehicles over the years and both were fine, repairs in Japan are pretty thorough compared to here in Oz.

      BTW I measured the jack I have, it is 70mm at the saddle but you only have about 700 until it returns to 150mm high at the cylinder so it is good but no magic bullet.
