Yeah right. What year was that? Mine had work done on the internals before I bought it but I have no idea what. Sounded awesome with the Webbers, my neighbours loved me ;) Indeed! Mine was a 76 as well, definitely had some get up and go. And loud! Yours didn't happen to have 2 kill switches under the drivers seat? It was orange when I got mine (a bit patchy), dude who I sold it to painted it dark blue. Then who knows. Was an ACT car then NSW.

Hey there, I used to have one of them, what colour was it?

Modified GTR Skyline. Scary power.

I'm not sure what swearing - even if it is blocked out - adds to the discussion. I thought I was copping it from all sides at first - but it turns out it was just a few of you guys from Brisbane that know each other jumping in. If that's how it is, that's how it is, not much I can do about it. If you were a mod, I guess that might be your job, but 'all you said' was: A little provocative. Just some feedback from a new members perspective. If someone has a go at you, it's only natural to reflect the tone and have a go back. You can put it all on me. When it's from a group of members who know each other and should know better? Disappointing for the other members maybe, but what are you going to do. Regardless, I would've gladly paid the TOC supporters fee without blinking, just in recognition of the help I've already received via the forum and unsolicited PM's from members trying to help me out (RollaRollin alone saved me a minimum $85 stereo install fee). The search for a reasonably priced Apexi Power Intake continues...

He did as well as yourself, including your use of profanity. Apology accepted.

Uh, yeah you did, that's why they got deleted.

Cool. Different states have slightly different laws. I should have noticed the big 'QLD Ultra Racing Distributer' in your sig - duh. Right from the horses mouth is the way to go, not what 'my mates mate reckons'. I've had many (mostly boring) conversations with friends and heaps of other people from across TMR, so was able to fill in a lot of the gaps in my own knowledge. My head is full of useless information. They were a bit hesitant with giving away many of the 'loopholes' though ;) That all sounds pretty reasonable. I've read a lot on here, believe me. Was poking around for a while before, but decided to sign up so I could ask some specific questions. Tone doesn't come across so well in the written word, so I get why some people misinterpret what others are trying to say, it's not a local phenomenon. As much as I don't like the term, I might have to make use of 'LOL' to make it more obvious. Darn it. And I'll just (try) ignore the negative nancies who drop in to post snarky comments. Cheers, we'll have to have a race one day. Whoa, whoa... on Mario Kart!

Well although you, STYLSH, DJKOR, Stewbie and Andrew357 have made some negative comments, it's understandable because you know each other. I'm sure there's some OK people up here.

Ah, now I get it, you guys are like a car gang ;) Might come along and say hi, be good to put faces to the names.

I believe it's a reference to a skit on The Footy Show (NRL). A 'stereotypical' doof doof listening Bulldogs fan. It may or may not be amusing ;)

Nice one Mr Converter! Might give it a go.

I guess the water could be getting in after getting splashed up from the road, even if it's only a tiny gap it will work it's way in there slowly. Must've had the work experience kid do it.

MTX Thunder 8000. Go the 15" ;)

Ok, I'll do that - again - and get things like 'http://au.toyotaownersclub.com/forums/index.php/topic/5503-previously-covered-topics-have-a-read-before-posting-as-it-may-already-have-been-covered/' that haven't been updated since 2006. Surely some things have changed in 5 years. Instead of starting a new thread I'll just ask here. On the topic? I thought we'd moved past that, but anyway. I would be wary of taking secondhand advice off anyone on the internet. What state are you in? If you're that serious about clarifying it, contact the Queensland Department of Transport and Main Roads. The Prosecutions Unit should be able to help you out with any specific questions about Queensland roads and the law you might have. You can also check out the Transport Operations (Road Use Management) Act 1995 Queensland if you're after some light reading. And if you require any statistics eg. speeding, drink driving, driver distraction as a contributing factor to fatalities or hospitalisations, I'd recommend you contact The Data Analysis Section at the Qld Dept. TMR - dataanalys​is@tmr.qld.​gov.au - they are very helpful.

6.2 inch DVD/TV/stereo. Would never go back to single din ;)

Nice pics. Mine had the pink and black wires close together so you could just stick them together. Then it got snagged as I put the headunit in and came apart, I didn't notice till after I put it all back together of course. Was easy to sort out though once I realised.

Yeah, I've had an SRI on a different car, was happy with that one. There's no rush of course. Just finished the DVD/TV/stereo install which went pretty smoothly (following the guides here from RollaRollin etc...) Had a guy PM me with an offer for an Apexi Power Intake, but now it says 'Deleted Member' where his name was. Hmm... Thought I'd just leave this one stock. Then thought maybe just the stereo, since it didn't work properly. It will need a couple of new tyres soonish, so may as well get some wheels while I'm at it. Then maybe just a sports filter. And maybe just some lowered springs. And maybe just a new exhaust ;) Good fun.

Cool, thanks for your input. I've pretty much decided to go with the Apexi I think.

Haha, It's all good! Tone doesn't come across very well on the internets.

hey mate, can you stop being a smart alec? post something that helps or dont post anything at all. Dude, I was saying CHA54 made an awesome assessment! Think the worst.

And the award for best diagnosis with the least amount of information goes to...

Actual data?!? We want speculation and subjective opinion dammit! ; ) (How come there's no 'wink' emoticon?) Was that peak temp (sitting still)? What were the temps on the SRI like when it was travelling at a decent speed?
