Hah, I went through the same thing when I worked nights at Woolworths. Used to get home at midnight, stay up and chill out for a bit until 3 or 4 in the morning, and get up again at midday and get ready to go to work at 5PM. Apparently that lifestyle is "unhealthy" and "weird". What is it with people who hate nocturnal things?

Anyway, in other news, I believe I have lost my license, so I may have to do a Jimmy and disappear from /o/ for a little while.

Of course, it wouldn't be so bad if it weren't double demerits, but given that between 15km/h and 19km/h over is worth two points usually, and I only have 4 points on the license because green P plater, I think it's taken all of my points in one hit. Just plain unlucky, and a little stupid really.

You on your p's or something?

if your on your fulls there shouldnt be a problem

Nfi what your fines are like down there but that would be like 2 demerit points and $200 bucks or so down here, just dont pay the fine when you get it and contest it

Lucky, any speeding fine is loss of license in SA for Ps.
>>
>>14090637
oh shit just read your on your p's

Uhh take it to court say you need you licence to get food and go to work etc. Then they should put you on good behavior bond like i had to when i rekt my r33 on my fulls mate
>>14090654
Holy shit really? I think for Red P's here in nsw its immediate loss but for Greens its over 1 fine and your done pretty sure
>>
>>14090658
Yep, both P1s and 2s. Thats 3 years without a 10km/h over fine.

Technically you could get a sub 10km/h fine, they dont get handed out all too often though

Hoping this might work, gonna have to contest it if it's a loss of license because then I'd have to quit my job.

>>14090651

Nah, NSW.

Like I said, if it weren't double demerits I'd be golden, but it's gonna be four points if it is as quick as I think it was.

Either Tasmania or possibly WA, from what I've heard.

Tasmania

>No Highway Patrol
>Speed cameras are rare
>God tier windy and hilly roads everywhere
>Can only go a max of 100km/h on P1's I think though, from memory, that's one downside
>P2's don't have to display plates at all, two year duration
>Open speed limit (do what it says on the road)
>No annual inspection
>Cheap rego
>Easy to get old cars registered (you do see a lot of shitboxes on the road though because no annual inspection)

Pretty WA has similar sort of rules and regulations, but I'm not sure if it's anywhere near as scenc.

There is an exception, but a lot of the time it's people riding beyond their ability or being assholes.

>having to be focused and alert all the time doesn't detract from the joy of riding.
It also translates well over to driving and makes you better on the road.

>>14087284
I don't notice the wind at all with my bike, not even using a double bubble haha. Then again I'm only 5'6 which helps. I've gotta get adjustable rear sets so I can shift the pegs forward and up a bit though. My knees are resting on the frame at the moment...

>>14089733
I'm pretty set on buying an FC or FD next year. Just working out if I want to do a single turbo FD, or a higher revving NA FC (thinking 20B).

Doing the KE70/AE71 first though.

Why? You can post without a license. Try to look at the positive, gives you time to sort anything out on your car, etc.

You should be fine though, double demerits usually aren't until Christmas Eve.

>>14090700
>I swear South Australia is straight up the worst state of all when it comes to bullshit regulations, fines, and license loss.
I think Victoria takes the cake for that.

>>14090765
SA is pretty similar for the most part. Besides the vehicle restrictions, Adelaide is surrounded by hills roads where the police aren't allowed to chase you.

The bi-directional speed cameras are making it shittier though.

Should have just given the cunt the proper horn m8

Car does need some shit sorted out on it, did the rear wheel bearing which was giving me some issues before going away for a couple of weeks, still gotta get the O2 sensor line extended and brake hard line replaced though.

>>14090793

>>14090871
>Should have just given the cunt the proper horn m8
I hit it a few times the first light, and held it the second light. He wasn't paying ANY attention. It was an obscenely long light combined with the fact he cut me off to get to it first which is what made it so frustrating,

What the fuck do I do /dat/? Don't want to drive anywhere due to Christmas making other road users insane, nearly had two accidents from cunts cutting me off by doing illegal turns. Computer can't run any games from the last ten years. Boredom has hit me, might just check timing on my car, might have jumped a tooth. I may make a small list of things I need to do to the car, so far in my mind I got

>fab new rear exhaust section/seal all other exhaust leaks
>tensioner pulley for AC belt
>check/do timing belt
>If engine is still abnomally noisy after doing above, find source of sounds

My family goes pretty nuts around Christmas which is kind of amusing since none of us are religious.

This year might be interesting though. Side of the family in this country hates motorcycles and I hear a lot of shit about mine through the year.

Usually drive to the family Christmas thing, but since I moved it's a solid hour away so I'm taking the bike.

To be fair, the two 306 (it's a 306 right?) making 100kw or more were the top versions. That's a base model 3 series. A 318is from 1992 makes more power than that new BMW.

I'll tell you the same thing I tell anyone who ever asks me that question, save your money. Drive the 86 around, put the rest of it into a house.

Be smart.

Or be a retard, drive the 86 and buy something really fast when your off of them because nothing you can buy now is better than the 86 for what you want.

You're all acting like I was going to go. There was zero chance of me hitting them. I had already seen they were going to turn and was on the brakes. The video makes it look a lot closer than it was.

The point of the WebM was they weren't indicating.

Yes, the yellow was making the turn without indicating. There was a second of so before braking happened but he did stop before entering the roundabout
>>
>>14099087
This too. Strictly speaking I still gave way to the car as I didn't enter the roundabout.

Like I said, the point was they didn't indicate.

>Christmas drivers
The amount of dumb crap I saw today is astounding.

that looks a lot like youre calling the driver depicted dumb.

you look to be going quite fast, braking pretty hard.
also based on the change in the camera angle towards the end it looks like you braked hard enough so that the rear wheel lifted off the ground.

lmao how did you expect us to see them indicating in a daytime video that bright?
>>
>>14099098
>you look to be going quite fast, braking pretty hard.
>also based on the change in the camera angle towards the end it looks like you braked hard enough so that the rear wheel lifted off the ground.
Not sure where you're coming up with this. I was going the speed limit and the rear wheel DEFINITELY didn't lift off the ground.

>lmao how did you expect us to see them indicating in a daytime video that bright?
You can see they didn't indicate pretty clearly.
>>
>>14099087
>>14099098
What this guy said about braking.
That was a hard stop.
Also what a few other people said about not paying attention.
Granted I hate when people do what OP described.
>>
>>14099104
>That was a hard stop.
It wasn't a hard stop. They're very powerful brakes for the size of the bike.

>Also what a few other people said about not paying attention.
I was. There really wasn't any complication with stopping. I slowed down pretty much the moment they kept turning.
>>
>>14099102
50km 10m before a roundabout is too fast man, while that is the speed limit wtf are you doing passing through roundabouts at 50km.thats not acceptable speed to come to a stop if need be.
you were going to fast for approaching a roundabout.

my point was you wouldnt be able to see if they did or didnt indicate.

just pay attention m8, dont assume just because someone hasnt indicated theyll keep travelling straight. baka.
>>
>>14099110

10m? It wasn't anywhere near that close.

>my point was you wouldnt be able to see if they did or didnt indicate.
Indicators aren't exactly hard to see man.

This too >>14099117 I said earlier that the camera makes it look a lot closer than it was.

>>14099116
You can keep saying that it was a hard stop if you want but it really wasn't.
>>
>>14099122
>Indicators aren't exactly hard to see man.
you cant make them out in the video on any cars making turns.
>>14099117
im aware but they skew it to a certain extent.

im gonna stick to my point that he expected to zoom through the roundabout. the guy evensaid he was doing the speed limit which is 50km in suburban australia. thats too fast to be aproaching a roundabout at.

he could see the dude wasnt gonna go straight when the rider reached the keep left sign, the yellow car was too late to take the exit.
he wasnt paying attention.
he wa
>>
>>14099131
>he could see the dude wasnt gonna go straight when the rider reached the keep left sign, the yellow car was too late to take the exit.
>he wasn't paying attention.
I was already covering the brakes before the keep left sign. Like I said there was zero chance of me hitting them.
>>
>>14099140
lets agree to disagree then.
i was in the same situation where the guy didnt indicate but made the turn.
i anticipate this whenever at a roundabout because people are spergs and it has saved me a few times.
i still think you braked hard and were going faster than you shouldve been.
>>
>>14099146
>lets agree to disagree then.
Alright. No point arguing over it.

The whole point was they didn't indicate and it's just a stupid thing to do. I saw a ton of crap like that today everywhere I went. Christmas brings out the worst in Australia's already shit drivers.

>>14099146

>>14099256
not him but >>14099087
>>
>>14099271
i never said he didnt give way or enter the roundabout. my point was him braking hard because he was going to fast for the situation.
the guy who posted the webm said he was doing speed limit which is 50km in suburbs, my point is he was too fast for the situation and had to brake hard. ffs senpai >:(
>>
>>14099289
>many before pointed out my same argument
many people said he was in the wrong people sperged on him when he was just showing someone not indicating

>>14099117
>>14099140
these too
>>
>>14098926
if that's the way you ride. it's no wonder you put yourself into a coma
>>
>>14099297
nah they were sperging out thinking he was expecting to go first, not giving right of way to the person in the turn. you cant tell if he indicated or not in the video.

gopros fuck perspective but the guy who posted the video said above that he was going the speed limit(50km based off suburban setting)

if you approach a roundabout going 50 and have to stop suddenly (within the time it took rider realised yellow dude was making the turn) you will brake hard.
>>
>>14099314
>ignoring the entire discussion
you meme'd him good sure you are not the one with brain damage?
>>
>>14099328
you can see he didn't look down at his speedometer him saying he was going the speed limit was an assumption but I doubt he was on throttle there. he was most probably under 50.
>>
>>14099350
what does coma boys cock taste like?
>>
>>14099363
you seem to be the one who is obsessed with him
>>
>>14099360
yeah most probably under 50 or gassing it. i didnt say he was speeding just that at or close to the speed limit hed be pushing it for this situation or roundabouts in suburbs.

also just noticed this but the gopro is attached to his head right? the rider doesnt move his head to look to his right at all. it really looks like he was intending to go through, only after yellow car passes him does he turn his head to look at it.
inb4 some shit about glancing.
>>
>>14099413
he does look right though the whole way up to the roundabout he is.
>>
>>14099368
I made a funny after not reading the thread, and looking back all i see is you defending his honour

so either you're coma boy samefagging, or you're a faggot that wants to suck his dick

visibility is fine but you should look regardless.
in the webm you can see the yellow car turning into his path, rider glancing and continuing to move, only braking when its right in front of him.
>>
>>14099466
Well that's depressing haha
I used to frequent the one's in queensland just for something to do
>>
>>14099478
No as in he did look you can see the helmet move to the right early in the clip. He also said earlier he had covered the brakes before the keep left sign and you can see the beginning of braking about there.
>>
>>14099489
Fuck the police.
>>
>>14099493
he looked but at that point the yellow car had missed the exit it was meant to take with no indication, he didnt seem to act on that.


it really looks like he started to brake right when the car was right in front of him.
>>
>>14099508
>it really looks like he started to brake right when the car was right in front of him.
That's just when the brakes bite hard he starts braking around the keep left sign on bikes without ABS you don't grab hard immediately.

What do melbfags? I want to buy this car but I'm scared of it being a lemon. My regular mechanic is out on holidays, too, so i can't get it professionally inspected

back wheel is off the ground lel, the handbrake just held it like that

when I was sitting in the driver's seat, I could actually rock it back and forth a bit

Get an RACV inspection done. If the dealer refuses, just walk away.
>>
>>14103151
the dealer is fine with having an RACV inspection done on it as well as me taking it into an independant mechanic. The car doesn't have RWC yet, but they're claiming they'll get it as soon as I purchase. The main problem is I want it on a hoist to inspect tranny alongside general analysis like gasket stuff.

The mechanic i normally go to i willing to do this stuff for free, and an RACV on-site inspection is like $200.

I can't do anything until after new year, sadly.

He didn't indicate, but you also approached like a dick head trying to gun through it
>>
>>14098926
never rely on indicators solely as a sign of where a car is going

assume that other drivers could change lanes/turn/not turn/whatever, regardless of what their indicator states
>>
>>14103127
Walk away
>>
>>14103191
I thought every cunt got taught this by their instructor? Even if they didn't, the amount of people who drive along with their indicators on completely oblivious to the light on the dash and ticking should tell you not to trust indicators.

man, the amount of people that fly up to give way signs, who slam on the brakes right at the last minute after seeing you and end up stopping over the line

I hate the whole 'speed kills' thing, but slow down, you impatient cunts

no shit man. i almost saw a 4 car crash the other day when some little hatchback was going probably 100 in a 50 zone and almost crashed into cars going through an intersection.

you know, now that i think of it, i have many stories about people driving like cunts. so heres one more.

>in 50 zone in a small town

>she overtakes on an unbroken line and almost hits a car coming the other way
>we both blare our horns at her
>she speeds off ahead
>then pulls over at some cafe
>all her rage and rushing even though her destination was less than 2km away

how the fuck are people this impatient?
>>
>>14103163
>on-site RACV
is this by an outside party? if it's by someone that works there, ask for it to be done by a third party since you'll be paying for it
>>
>>14103444
outside party, but i don't want to pay $200 to have it inspected when I can wait for my local mechanic to come off holidays and me to have it done free.

My budget for a prelude is currently 3500 for something with RWC
>>
>>14103461
Why a prelude? if I may ask. I'm assuming that you're looking for something to go through your Ps in
>>
>>14103484
I'll be doing a lot of driving to and from bendigo, and it's a relatively cheap car with a powerful enough engine to comfortably cruise down the highway. I currently drive an ignis, but driving 3 1/2 hours at 110km/h every few weeks isn't exactly great for a car with such a small engine.

I also appreciate the aesthetics of the 5th gen models and they appeal to me a lot now that they're at the bottom of their depreciation curve.

I'm not planning on hooning it, which is why I'm not too fussy about a non-VTEC model.

what are the engines stats?
link to same make of carsales ?
>>
>>14103525
fuel economy would be trash
my bro has a falcon wagon, same engine and similar weight to the falcon ute.
it has 4L engine and must get like 200-300km from a 70L tank.

i wouldnt mind DD a 2L ute if it had a decent power to weight ratio or was turbod
>>
>>14103525
LPG
>>
>>14103538
i own a turbo falcon ute and I average 11L/100km. I get roughly 700km to a tank.
Maybe your bro should get his coon looked at for problems
>>
>>14103530
The Si has a F22Z
I believe it's an inline 4 with a cast iron(citation needed) block. it's also a 2.2L engine, and produces around about 120kw in a 1.3ton car.

There's the carsales link for similar models, if that's what you were asking for.

desu he drives like a sperg and gasses it all the time
dont the turbo falcons get better fuel economy?
he drives mostly in the city. i dont even get stats like yours for a little hatch with 50L tank, i drive mostly city and get 400km from 3/4 tank before i fill up.

do you do heaps of highway/freeway driving?

SKYRINE

SKYRINE

if you see this, thrust bearing on a t-56, how many hours?complicated?
pretty sure mine is Farked, its attached to a 5.4l ford
>>
>>14104543

Fist up what has brought you to the thrust/throw out bearing diagnosis?

Standard noisy until clutch is depressed?

But its all pretty standard shit for any box of that style. Disconnect battery, support engine with brace. Remove exhaust, then driveshaft, undo shift linkages (maybe shifter assembly) depending on how yours is set up, pull out starter motor and remove flywheel bolts through the starter hole. Support box, drop rear gearbox mounts. Get about 3 foot of extensions to remove the worlds cuntiest top bolt (very top of gearbox, attack it from the left side of the box for easiest path) Don't forget it because if you do with all the other bolts removed the bell housing will flex enough to give the illusion that its ready to remove, in reality you will snap the top of the bell housing off.

Double check everything is removed, then check again and pull the box straight back. throw out bearing will take a minute to actually replace, expect to spend 3 hours pulling the box if you haven't done one before but have some spanner twisting skills, and 2 hours to get it back in.

A work shop will charge 6 to 8 hours but a good mechanic can do the whole thing in 3 to 4 hours.
>>
>>14104582
is noisey, has been getting steadily harder and harder to get INTO gear for about 3 weeks.
when in gear, with clutch held in all the way, it creeps forward.

hmm, doable on jack stands?
might save it for someone who i can trust to do it

thanks man
>>
>>14104688

Doesn't scream throw out bearing, would try bleeding the clutch system first, take your time and push 500ml through it. Slave might be leaking or slowly dying, check for leaks from the master cylinder all the way down. After bleeding the system if it doesn't fix it take off the little dust boot on the clutch lever and see how far the lever/bearing assembly moves on clutch operation, and if the movement is smooth.

But for that description I would guess air in clutch line, dead/dying slave cylinder OR the springs on the pressure plate are fucked.

And while it is possible to remove a box on jack stands (fucking big ones) I wouldn't recommend it. It would quickly turn into a 10+ hour job

I'd say I do more highway than city but I give it a good boot at least once per drive and it's still pretty low.

From what I've heard turbos and NAs get roughly the same km out of a tank. Depends how you drive and how the car is tuned
