  1. Hey guys. I just wanted to ask a possibly noobish question about the VQ35DE. Featured in this month's Banzai issue is an Infinity sporting over 900bhp and the feature specifically mentions the fact that the VQ engine is non-sleeved. I was just wondering what that meant.

     

    Cheers for the help

     

    Gaz

  2. I don't think you're being unreasonable. Clearly you paid for an expensive trim which is now damaged as a result of the fitter's actions.

     

    Under S13, Sale of goods and Supply of Services Act 1982- a supplier of a service acting in the course of business has to carry out that service with reasonable care and skill. I'm not in a position to comment about the reasonableness of Simon's work but there may be others in his position who are.

     

    Its an unfortunate position to be in but I understand your concerns. The whole point made by Simon about compensation culture being rampant in society today seems somewhat unnecessary. Clearly you paid for something...they were tasked with fitting the item...the item is now damaged.

  3. Ah cheers.

     

    Nah its not that I need it I'm just surprised something like this is available so readily. I would buy it just to be on the cautious side because I believe some of the road-traffic laws make no concession for human weakness.

  4. WtF?! That's harsh man but at least you're okay.

     

    From the pic you've uploaded it seems the front's taken most of the damage but I can't really tell.

    I hope its not a write off but I have a feeling it won't be. Good luck mate

  5. Whether a person was born here or chose to come here, if they don't like any part of it (and that could be taxation, economy, religion, public transport, weather, women etc) then LEAVE.

     

    Lol then I guess we'd all leave 'cause we all don't like any part of the taxation, economy public transport and the weather! We're always whinging!

  6. You do realise that the BBS's are not only way more expensive but also very sought after. If you do decide to sell them, sell them at edition38.com. You should get a buyer with a great price in no time.

  7. I will start to believe in politics and be proud of my country when I have an elected leader with the balls to stand up for his nation and say................

     

     

    Prime Minister John Howard - Australia

     

    Muslims who want to live under Islamic Sharia law were told on Wednesday to get out of Australia , as the government targeted radicals in a bid to head off potential terror attacks.

     

    Separately, Howard angered some Australian Muslims on Wednesday by saying he supported spy agencies monitoring the nation's mosques. Quote: 'IMMIGRANTS, NOT AUSTRALIANS, MUST ADAPT. Take It Or Leave It. I am tired of this nation worrying about whether we are offending some individual or their culture. Since the terrorist attacks on Bali , we have experienced a surge in patriotism by the majority of Australians.'

     

    'This culture has been developed over two centuries of struggles, trials and victories by millions of men and women who have sought freedom'

     

    'We speak mainly ENGLISH, not Spanish, Lebanese, Arabic, Chinese, Japanese, Russian, or any other language. Therefore, if you wish to become part of our society . Learn the language!'

     

    'Most Australians believe in God. This is not some Christian, right wing, political push, but a fact, because Christian men and women, on Christian principles, founded this nation, and this is clearly documented. It is certainly appropriate to display it on the walls of our schools. If God offends you, then I suggest you consider another part of the world as your new home, because God is part of our culture.'

     

    'We will accept your beliefs, and will not question why. All we ask is that you accept ours, and live in harmony and peaceful enjoyment with us.'

     

    'This is OUR COUNTRY, OUR LAND, and OUR LIFESTYLE, and we will allow you every opportunity to enjoy all this. But once you are done complaining, whining, and griping about Our Flag, Our Pledge, Our Christian beliefs, or Our Way of Life, I highly encourage you take advantage of one other great Australian freedom,

     

    'THE RIGHT TO LEAVE'.'

     

    'If you aren't happy here then LEAVE. We didn't force you to come here. You asked to be here. So accept the country YOU accepted.'

     

    THE best speech I have ever heard, and the one I agree with every single word of!

     

    Why is the Muslim community being singled out here?

     

    As a muslim I completely disagree with the protests that were carried out but at the same time I'm completely against the bullsh1t war waged on Iraq which was completely illegal and immoral. But put yourselves in our position-the mainstream muslims that are a majority. ALl it takes is a a bunch of pillocks calling themselves muslims to tarnish out whole image. Its frustrating beyond belief but at least utilise some common sense and realise that these people don't represent all muslims (over 1.5billion of us).

     

    Obviously people of all religions are going to wish their religious views are applied where ever they live. However, the media and the general populace in the west seem to think that all muslims have some sort of identity crisis and clammer towards Islamic Sharia in a desperate attempt to fit in. That isn't the case at all as its only a small minority of muslims who are so 'aggresively' pursuing Sharia's implementation.

     

    Bear in mind that when the Prophet Muhammed (p.b.u.h) and his followers went to Acre, he commanded his followers to respect the law of the land even though the customs were alien to them. That's the general rule that applies to all muslims and even more so in Christian countries as Christians and Jews are regarded as 'People of the Book'. Yes not all muslims follow this but there are black sheep in every community....and considering Islam is the fastest growing religion in the world with over 1.5 billion followers, you're bound to get idiots that don't follow or understand the full extent of their faith.

     

    It really winds me up when people go into a Daily Mail-esque sort of sensationalist rant with little application of logic at all. Some people need to get educated and realise that not all muslims are going to spontaneously combust when you're on the tube or a plane (I'm not implying that anyone here thinks along those lines lol).

     

    There are other more important issues to consider such as immigration, employment, education, rape, alcoholism, poverty etc that we should be concerned with. Please scrutinise all facets of the governments policies please. (again not implying that this isn't the case here)
