So you have all concluded danielson did this? Because I'm not sure if anyone has meantioned this.... but the rims in the Herald Sun photo are white... NOT CHROME. I also don't see the decals down the side. At first I thought you guys were joking but now I don't know. :P

relax, i think everyone mucking around, right from the start i said the rims look whiete and theres no stickers.

Just on that note (by the way I'm not trying to say it was danielson lol!)...

If you put chrome wheels on your car that are a pretty full design (ie not spokey - don't know how to explain it, say danielsons is a full design and r34 wheels are a spokey design)... and then take a photo of it with the light reflecting off them... what colour would they come up in when you printed them in a news paper? (ie not on a ring-a-ding photo printer)....???

I know what colour i'd guess they came out as (that light reflection is a key factor i believe).

just for curiosities sake? anyone?

(p.s. excuse the poor spelling)

Wouldn't be the first time a police department pulled a stunt like this in order to validate a crackdown on 'hoons'.

Think about it. They buy a Skyline, give it big wheels and fancy paint, take a few (bad) photos of it doing stupid things, and woila, they've got an excuse to pick on ALL of us.

The car might have cost around $30,000 including paint and rims, and now they can jack up the price of fines they give us, which will probably bring in another few hundred thousand dollars a year.

Not bad thinking, eh?

and that wouldnt be the first time i've heard of someone saying something similar to that either.

same goes for aca and shows like that whenever they wanna make stories out os "hoons" etc.

they go out... find a bunch of bored p platers and stuff, tell them to jst drive like idiots, video it... then wind it into some bullshit story.

i read it in an article somewhere once. cant remember where. but dont think it doesnt happen.

Haha.this thread is so amusing.We all jump to a conclusion.Then we change our minds.lol.

Personally i dont think that he did it.But having said that i havent seen all of the pics of the car in question that were in the paper.All i saw was a bike doing a front wheel stand.

Belive it man.They would go to extrordinary legnths to get the right information and pics for a news story.

point out where i agreed with anywhere in the previous 4 pages?

i didnt. i dont believe any of the media's bullshit at all.

its hard to believe when... you turn on one ch and see a story, turn on the next see the basic same story but twisted slightly... and then on the other channel the same thing but twisted slightly again.....

Need to remember that they throw around this stuff to sell newspapers, and get ratings.

Most of these pop journalists have as much integrity as a used car salesman.

Remember the Today Tonight video of the WRX, which was actually from New Zealand? They went on and on for weeks about how they were going to do something about "hoons on our roads".

Then remember the photos of the "hoons" that theyd pulled off the internet?

I'd take it all with a seriously big grain of salt.

The biggest problem is idiots on the road without basic driving skills, like knowing how to merge at speed, following basic road rules, and keeping safe distances between the vehicle in front.

In my area at least "hoons" in "hotted up cars with big exhausts" are outnumbered 100 to 1, by retarded soccer mums who drive over roundabouts and curbs in 4WDS.

    • A few small updates since the previous post and lessons. I decided to do a little interior light upgrade on the 110. I quite like the iilumo items, even if they're a bit of a premium over other brands. You'll also note the Stedi Fogs, that will go into the S15 fog lights as I needed to match the bulbs since I got the new ones earlier. I hope they fit as the body is quite a bit longer than your normal bulb.  Annoyingly, I managed to trip the fuse, which normally wouldn't be an issue until I located the fuse. I can't say I've ever come across this. I had lucked out that someone nearby had a spare, but oddly enough Toyota dealerships seem to keep this in stock. I ordered some to keep in my stash and as luck would have it, someone else nearby tripped the same fuse so I passed on the favour.  I also did a little service on the 110 ahead of some additional work coming up. It's been annoying that Goleby's stopped carrying this particular HKS filter for the 110, so now I need to keep them on order from Japan. I also took the opportunity to install a bash plate and number plate riser. The plate riser is such a cheap but nice fix to help really tidy up the car. I'm tempted to now also replace my headlights, on this car. Both items were from Project Aero.    I also needed to replace the rear tyres on the 110, and after trying to get it aligned learnt that I need to replace some bushes in the front end, so that's next.  Closing out this update with a nicer picture as always! 
    • Yeah mate, never miss it.
    • Any going to watch World Time Attack at SMSP this year?
    • Appreciate the correction on the "ground", that will make a huge difference to looking at this. That makes complete sense about AF70/AF71 which is what I had come down to being the issue, one of these. I'll have another look in the ignition wiring when I get a chance next week. I'll also make up a jumper wire for running that AF73 test.  ECU is fine, relay itself is fine, pump harness is fine and the pump itself is fine. I am going to upgrade the Walbro 255 anyway with a DW300 I have since I need to replace the fuel sender and I'm going to upgrade the FPR with my chasebays kit ready for new plenum/injectors/dbw, but I'll get this working first. That's why this is so frustrating.
