It is a very strange use of the word help isn't it.

Watched a Yank tonight on TV outraged that they have been "helping" people in other countries but aren't helping their own.

Anyway, back to the fuel price, have we all seen the article on "peak oil".

Scary stuff.

Yeah, theres an imbalance of how much effort was put into iraq, in comparison to the effor put on new orleans. Not only is it the war's fault for the petrol prices, but the fact that China is also growing, and becoming better off, hence, they are buying a fair few cars, taking up consumption of petrol.

But still, the petrol price is BULLLSHITE! I need to fill up the line too... Got a lift off a mate to uni today, so that was alright, but still, petrol prices are rediculous!!! Government should stop taxing petrol so the price will go down, and re-cooperate the money through other areas, cutting down on useless crap, such as useless business trips to America....

yes paying more money for anything you need to buy sucks, but does it really matter? I reckon it's worth every cent :P just enjoy your car and be thankful. Your kids will probably never be able to drive a car like a GTR etc.

you know i always have had that attitude, i was always thinking that i dont care if i pay the extra .10 a litre, its only a couple dollars difference in the end.

but an extra .40c???

i feel like someone has been poking me with a stick for a year untill i can take it and go spastic!!!

im very lucky i dont drive to work anymore, i get a lift.

but this still shits me

60l x 1.15 = $69 = bareable

60l x 1.50 = $90 = joke!

How the price of petrol manages to jump 10c/L in a few hours, portrays how bullshit the inflation of petrol has been over the last yr!

actually it jumped 20c, and im some cases more....

I just saw an article today on the news somwhere, that its supposed to go to $2.00!!! $2 bloody dollers! :P

For my stag thats around $130 or so for a tank! What a disgrace..

Honestly though, whats causing these prices?

Gday all, prophet of doom here.

See attached peak oil. I assumed everyone had seen it but then realised it was from another forum and Jan 2004 when I read it.

It is scary stuff but might just answer some questions (including big picture stuff like Iraq).

Far be it from me to defend John Howard but I don't think the Liberal or the Republican Party can be held directly responsible for the rise in oil prices.

Both our economies benefit from lower oil prices.

Circumstances and some collusion is what is responsible for oil prices.

Next week it will be $1,50!

The fact that the global economy is at the mercy of a small cartel is what's wrong.

T.

Its absolutely rediculous, who the hell DO we have to invade to get cheap petrol!!!

Seriously though, anyone wanna start working on a way to get the same power out of my car by running it on garbage (like the car in "back to the future 2" did....well i think it was 2)

Sick of getting ripped by governments. That oil document was an interesting read though. Scary stuff...will that mean i'll have to ditch the line??

    • By popular demand.. it was a coil. Got my hands on 1 new OEM coil, replaced with the one that made the less noise difference when I unplugged it while the car was running and started the car up. No stutter and the engine light was gone. I guess I’ll buy the other 5 they have lol
    • No, code 21 is very straightforward. It can only be the things described in that diagnostic flow. In fact it has no way of knowing that the spark plug resistance is out of spec.
    • Hi, SteveL Thank you very much for your reply, you seem to be the only person on the net who has come up with a definitive answer for which I am grateful. The "Leak" was more by way of wet bubbles when the pedal was depressed hard by a buddy while trying to gey a decent pedal when bleeding the system having fitted the rebuilt BM50 back in the car, which now makes perfect sense. A bit of a shame having just rebuilt my BM50, I did not touch the proportioning valve side of things, the BM50 was leaking from the primary piston seal and fluid was running down the the Brake booster hence the need to rebuild, I had never noticed any fluid leaking from that hole previously it only started when I refitted it to the car. The brake lines in the photo are "Kunifer" which is a Copper/Nickel alloy brake pipe, but are only the ones I use to bench bleed Master cylinders, they are perfectly legal to use on vehicles here in the UK, however the lines on the car are PVF coated steel. Thanks again for clearing this up for me, a purchase of a new BMC appears to be on the cards, I have been looking at various options in case my BM50 was not repairable and have looked at the HFM BM57 which I understand is manufactured in Australia.  
    • Well the install is officially done. Filled with fluid and bled it today, but didn't get a chance to take it on a test drive. I'll throw some final pics of the lines and whatnot but you can definitely install a DMAX rack in an R33 with pretty minor mods. I think the only other thing I had to do that isn't documented here is grind a bit of the larger banjo fitting to get it to clear since the banjos are grouped much tighter on the DMAX rack. Also the dust boots from a R33 do not fit either fyi, so if you end up doing this install for whatever reason you'll need to grab those too. One caveat with buying the S15 dust boots however is that the clamps are too small to fit on the R33 inner tie rod since they're much thicker so keep the old clamps around. The boots also twist a bit when adjusting toe but it's not a big deal. No issues or leaks so far, steering feels good and it looks like there's a bit more lock now than I had before. Getting an alignment on Saturday so I'll see how it feels then but seems like it'll be good to go
