Come to old Canberra town if you want to find out about fixed speed camera's! The powers that be just installed about 10 new fixed camera's around the place. There is a for and against argument for everything I guess. We have some of the best roads with some of the worst drivers. These camera’s have mostly been installed on 80-100km/h roads where people are generally going a little over the posted limit. These camera’s are making us slow down which is good. However – is doing 20km/h over the limit on a two lane, well constructed road with wide shoulders and a 100km/h limit as bad as going 20km/h over the limit on a single lane residential street outside the local shops with a 50km/h limit? I guess then the argument begins… it’s not safe to do 20km/h over the limit anywhere… I’m a huge fan of driving to the conditions. I quite often drive at 20km/h over the limit but I choose the time and place. If it is a sunny day with high vis, not much traffic and I’m on the freeway or dual carriage way – I will do it. Having said that… if it is busy, residential, raining, foggy, dark etc… I might do 20km/h under the limit. Watching other drivers, paying attention to the conditions and driving within your limits are the key – IMHO. Everyone should be forced to ride a motorbike around for a couple of weeks. I guarantee it will give you a different outlook on road skills, etiquette and attitude… and hopefully natural selection will take the wan*ers off the roads!! My two cents…

IMO you have the power for an 11 - you just need some practice and some setup. Things like launching, burnout etc. Also the ET streets will help. Practice makes perfect!

"You don't f*ck with another mans automobile... It would have been worth them doin it, just to catch them doin it." - Vincent Vega - Pulp Fiction Having said that... my mate made an absolute mess of some bloke he found stealing his CD player in the car park one day. There was a small issue when the junkie got his head slamed in the car door. They had to take the junkie to the hospital and my mate got done for assult! Criminal record time... Having said that.... they would be doing me for murder if I caught them!!

Are you sure this mystery "DVD player" in the boot isnt the factory amp that comes with the premium sound? There is an amp and sub mounted on the parcel shelf in the boot. The amp doesnt have an eject button........for obvoius reasons....... The car is not fitted with sat nav, unless it's aftermarket. Personally I would replace the amp, sub, speakers and get either a DVD deck or mini computer with touch screen inserted behind the factory screen - depending on how much you know about the subject. Good luck with it anyway.

Just a fairly simple and quick one - How easy are the springs to replace? I have acquired a set of lowered springs and I want to put them in the T. I have a fair amount of mechanical knowledge and almost every tool under the sun including spring compressors - and I have changed springs in my last three cars. Just wondering if anyone has had any headaches or major issues before I attempt it on the weekend?? Thanks guys.

The original footage is Chris Pfeiffer dude. That's when he rode for Team Ducati... That was taken at Streetfigher 2003 in Brazil. He holds world titles in trails, freestyle (stunting) and enduro and has arguably the best bike control of anyone in the world.

Yep - senna is on the money

I second that...

I have heard similar to what senna said. The pads will get a “glaze” on them if you don't haul them on every now and again. I have done a couple of massive stops in mine and the noise has reduced a lot. Sometimes it is still there but nowhere near as often. I just got a set of new 20's and the tires don't really like being hauled up that quick!! I defiantly recommend giving this a go however. Get on a quiet “private” road and do a few huge stops and see how it goes.

Are you sure it wasn't TUG. that's what people who drive VL Turbo's do....

I fitted a monza "bolt on" kit to my brothers skyline... they are far from "bolt on" as you found out! Good job!

I got a set of 20's for mine yesterday and I still have the stock springs in and it doesn't look to bad! I was surprsied because I thought it would look like a 4WD. I'm still getting it lowered but! 1 inch should see the guards at the top of the tire. 2 inches should see me happy.

Kilt

Exactly! It's like they don't want to acknowledge they are being a pr*ck...

Oh there there sweetie - I thought we could turn this into the Friday Funday Bullsh*t thread! Its not fun when no one plays along!

Sorry my bad - Phantom is the dude who shoots spider webs

No - isn't the phantom the guy in black who drives around in the rocket car with big wings on the side... Bruce Wayne I think...?

BA MKII - Only had her since August and I love her. Got a new set of 20"s yesterday!

I love the people who DO look up the road and they DO see you coming and the f*ckers still decide to cross the road in front of you!! It is my pet hate, and I can tell you now - I speed up. The amount of people I have made literally "jump" up the gutter from a few feet away is amazing. It is just pure rudeness - making a car stop in the middle of the road where they have right of way just so you can waddle your fat ass across the road. They never hurry... C*nts......... End Rant...

Yep - I'm thinking lay off the beer! Couldn't really be any mechanical reason for it.

Did you just say you would rather have a MK2 jag than a XY GT...?

Excellent! I look forward to it - It will be good to meet a couple of you guys.
