I wouldn't get too excited. Petrol will never be "cheap" again. The only question is how expensive will it get? I've heard numbers thrown around by the media ranging from $1.60 to $2.00 per litre by Christmas here in Perth, although I'm inclined to think it will be closer to $1.40 at Christmas time.

yeah thats the problem though. the media and its story spinning. im not saying they'll be the same as they were. just i have seen them decline in the last few weeks if anything.....

and the media said they'd keep rising.....

i was amazed how cheap it was this week end i thought it would have sky rocketed because week end for one and the gp run all the bikers going thru down my way. but it was heaps cheaper than normal

nor unleaded was a 1.19 and ultimate was 1.30 GOLD!! stay like this! or they can keep going down if they like lol.

It is the cheepest time of year you wat till our summer and Northan hemisfer has ther winter we will b F&^44ed i think 70-80% of the worlds population live in the north

Apparently Spring is our worst time for petrol as the northern hemisphere (Especially the US as they use oil to heat buildings)stock piles before their winter begins, Most experts are now saying it will drop or stay around the same for a while.

I pretty much doubt that 80% of people live in the northern part of the world, India and China hold the most population and while China is in the Northern hemi, India is on the Equator. Dont underestimate the South East Asian population cos they have shit load of people compared to Europe or America.

But anyway petrol was 105 cents in July for reg unleaded, 113 for premium... i think premium at Mobile last night was 125, I dont use premium cos the commodore dont need it.

reg unleaded here is 1.18 at the pump. 1.14 with vouchers. havent looked at premium but isnt it supposed to be 10c more?

see what they've done to peoples mind set?

"oooo $1.20, how cheap is that, i better fill up!"

when people were bitching not too long ago about it reaching $1.00. they control people's mind, so now we think its cheap, because we've seen it a lot worse :O

from what i've gathered the price should come down more.

the only reason it's going up is because people are accepting it, all the scare mongering by the media, and the very slow fact that it's starting to get more expensive to extract, not that we're running out, but we're running out of the very easy to extract supplies, the price rises are totally unjustified though, just look at the breakdown of where the cost of a litre goes, almost all the money that it has gone up by, went straight to the petrol companies.

bah, just bring out hydrogen already.

Last tuesday at home here in canberra it was 1.32 for unleaded, and 1.42 for 98 ultimate

I drove 40minutes up the highway to a rural town and it was 1.22 for unleaded and 1.30 for 98... then i got to sydney and it was 1.15 (with voucher) for unleaded, and 1.25 for 98.. how does this work? its total bullshit if you ask me....

    • looking for some help and maybe some insight on others experience with a new LSD. R34 GT ran and drive beautifully, but always alot of grip loss due to the open R200 rear end, so I just installed a new 1.5 LSD way into the stock open R200 for a ER34. Simple. Everything seemed right. I test drove for the first time this weekend. as I started to back out the garage the first time slowly with tires straight it sounded and felt like I had a loose or half disconnected drive shaft...that was clucking around loose and shaking entire vehicle, and making it feel like the trans clutch was spontaneously slipping then grabbing very roughly while just letting out pedal slowly. I backed it out went to pull forward with the same noise, shake and slip grab feeling with hesitation, I turned the tires to back out more and then pulled ahead some same thing but worst because of added wheel resistance (which that I expected) puzzled … pulling it back in checking everything over and finding nothing wrong, I tried it the next day. same thing, couldn’t believe how it shook everything again making a terrible noise and making it feel like the trans clutch was slipping and grabbing, but I got it out of garage into the driveway, got it straight, drove forward and then reveres a few times in a straight line everything shaking , causing what felt like clutch slip and grab every time, sounded like right behind front driver tire and I could feel it in the floor board with my feet,... worst right when beginning to let clutch pedal out to engage slightly, shuttering and sounding terrible along the way…I managed to slowly get down the road, babying it the whole way, once I was rolling (out of 1st) seemed to be better and between shifts, then clutch felt closer to normal…not slip/ grab etc., but back down to any stop, straight road or turning, same thing. Made no difference if all tires were straight or if I was turning. All other gauge read out correct. with in 2 miles as planned I reached the empty parking lot and performed the break in procedure that came with lsd, essentially to drive in a figure 8 a bunch.  Did this, binding chattering, and shaking the car the whole way. I drove it back home seemed somewhat normal once I was in straight line and past 10 mph or so, and I know it will “bind” on corners and cause some tires squeal when turning especially from a stop, but when I begin to move it still causes what feels like the trans clutch to slip and jerk badly as well as shaking the entire car, and sounds terrible, that I didn’t expect. I used the fluid they supplied with LSD kit and did the breaking, planning to change fluid as they suggest after breaking, but wondering will it get smoother or less aggressive with use? maybe a 1.5 is just too aggressive for normal road driving?   I have a LSD that I put in my 71 cuda when I restored it, with amazing smooth , quite yet effective results. Different style LSD but that ones a joy to drive. maybe expecting too much from this R200?

    • Hello!  i just finished manual swaping my r34 skyline with a r33 rb20de box(RB71C)box  When the car is running it squeaks crazy loud and it was smoking from the gearbox area. The gearbox is fine it was tested. The clutch slave cylinder seems like it doesn't fully releases the clutch. I want to ask if this noise is from the throw out bearing or could it be the clutch assembly or disk att.xFliq87Gzw6kImKBVqDebXkj0fBqymk0JaYeP3_3SlM.mp4
