Guys drving like w*anks of the gippsland highway in groups, doing illegal overtaking etc etc, with the passengers in the cars videoing it etc. There were three pictures, two of them showed cars doing burnouts but the biggest picture and what the article was mainly talking about was the Skyline. It was an orange 33, with 400r rear wing, skirts I think, GTR wing, big chrome wheels. If your on here mate your a tosser....

Ok here is the link to the article, just found it. No pic so I think I will scan the photo of the 33 if my scanner is working!

He encouraged passing motorists to use new technology, such as camera phones, to their advantage.

"If you've got the technology, then use it," he said.

"All we need is the numberplate and a description of the driver and we can follow it up from there."

WTF they want people to use their phone while travelling at 80kmh+ and they will follow it up just from a rego and description??? c'mon you can catch someone stealing something on film or photograph someone carrying a baby on their lap... and the police claim they cant do SHIT unless they catch them doing it???

"They were all hotted up with huge exhausts and everything." :)

Cool... I drive a "hotted up" car ;)

But, on a serious note, it was stupid what they did, but, how are laws or more police going to prevent it?

More police just annoy drivers as they can't enjoy a nice little drive every now and then, ( hill climb or something like that ) which eventually leads to them getting fed up and just doing it anyway out of frustration somewhere stupid.

Laws.. Ok how about the new no turbo etc laws? In my opinion more pople are being idiots now that they are just driving tired old cars around ( old holdens and fords etc ) and thrashing them without a care in the world because, they have little to lose, compared to say if they were driving an r32 gts-t or an s13-14 etc...

That's just my two cents..

That a great comment Nick. Many people are careful in cars such as skylines etc because they attract cops like flys to horsesh**...

put some P-platers in a $200 camira and who cares if it get confiscated, wrapped round a tree etc? (provided no one is injured of course)

The Govt isnt allowing young drivers to get experience anymore, and when there are very little places for "hoons" to get this stuff out of their system is guna happen on the roads. put up a 1/4 mile track and have entry cheap and there will be less accidents as the hoons have a safe place to do this crap.

Yeah, good point. Keep a copy of the article in your car somewhere and if you caught on your phone or smsing (which you shouldnt anyway..) just whip out the article and say well it told me to do it...

jackasses - now the cops will be on the lookout for anyone driving a jap import......

But i also heard something like, if the cops dont have any proof of the incidents, they will not follow it up.

Not that cops will not following up, just that they too lazi to be bothered with untill they are pushed or something make them to. (ie. publicity etc.)

My car was stolen, got a footage from a survailance camera, and yea, cop dont give a sh1t, cos its just a car.

after this incident, am sure import cars drivers gona have a hard time. :P

I can guarantee you that plenty of Magazine photographers hang out of cars like that or worse. How else do you think they get some of the crazy angled moving shots otherwise. I am not condoning the activity of course, just saying that it isn't just "hoons" that are doing that sort of thing.

    • You know how your car rolled through a fence in your last jacking escapade? Scissor jacks increase the likely hood of that sort of thing happening immensely!
    • http://calfinn.com.au/product/1500kg-standard-trolley-jack-cj-2t-c/1500kg-standard-trolley-jack-cj-2t-c   I have this and fits under a S3 33 GTR with no issues. Purchased in 2009 and not one issue. It was $950 back then. Not cheap but something so important isn’t worth cheaping out on.
    • Just trying to get my head around this. At 5psi of boost, you turn on your wmi pump, and then you're using a 3000cc injector, to allow flow upto the actual engine, where you have your 6x200cc injectors and a 500cc injector. If the above is correct, what advantage are you obtaining by having the 3000cc injector blocking flow, is this just incase a line breaks between that injector and the motor you can stop flow immediately? Or are the 6x200cc and 500cc less injectors and just spray nozzle?
    • Welcome! New member myself, but I had an R33 back in 2002. Best advice I could give, based on my experience: if you're running the factory turbo, be very conservative with boost. I made the mistake of just fiddling around with the boost controller and cranking the boost for fun, and the end result was my intake pipes popping off frequently from the constant deluge of oil that was being blown into the recirc by the stressed-out turbo, which itself was siphoning oil from the engine and farting it out both sides of its centre bearing (or something to that effect). If I could do it all again, I would have gotten a new turbo and had a tune dialled in professionally and then just left it alone! Funny you mention the metal shavings in the gearbox, as I had the same thing - the probe plug (magnetic drain plug, essentially) would come out caked with shavings. At least it was doing its job. Not sure if that's just sacrificial wear and part of the deal, or if my gearbox was shagged, but I wasn't abusing it. Enjoy the R33 - they're a dying breed, and if they weren't $35k+ on CarSales in Queensland, I might have picked up one of those again, instead of the 370GT I own now (though I'm loving the 370GT, that big 3.7L V6 just hits different).
    • Howdy folks. I owned an R33 back in 2002, which was thoroughly beyond my capacity (financially speaking) to maintain/insure, so we parted ways in 2004. Fast forward 21 years (to literally yesterday, in fact) and I'm now the proud owner of a 2007 V36 370GT. I'm happily surprised by how much power the VQ37VHR makes, compared to the RB25DET, considering the latter is turbocharged. I had planned to add a turbo at some point but I'm on the fence about whether I'll even need it (though I do love the sudden onset of extra torque). Any other 370GT owners around the traps, I'd love to hear about your experiences with this car (good and bad).
