its was pretty obvious that it was just for show. why else would they have the 2 top chief of police in the car with them chasing down the "hoons". thats was funny how the cop said one car makes more noise than 8 cars put together. also if they catch you 3 times "hooning" aroung then they can confiscate ur car for good. that would really suck. but... if you wanted to be a smart arse could you sell ur car after getting caught 2 times and then re-buy a same model car?? do u htink this would work.

I missed it. Good to see some High Quality cars on TV and even better to hear that there was a Skyline this time!:)

At the end of the day the story achieved it's purpose, you watched it. Hey I only didn't catch it because I forgot!

Think about how popular cars have become around the streets? Of a weekend numerous fastfood outlets are logjammed with cars going nowhere and this is a potential audience for them to appeal to even if you know the story will label you, you still watch it.

The people who think you are now more of a hoon than ever have also watched this story thus expanding the viewer base and exposing more to the advertising after the segment.

It's all about ratings!!!!!!

I'd like to see this get off the ground:

I was recently at Ford spare parts in brookvale.

I saw a cop pick up a fully marked XR8, must have been in for service I guess.

He's absulutely woofed it out the driveway tires blazing and all (no sirens or lights mind you).

Then on my may out I saw him go flying past going around the block at ridiculous speeds.

My route home is actually past the Frenches Forest Police Station and on my way he has come screaming past me. I caught up to him at the next set of lights and followed him the rest of the way. All he was doing was going back to the cop station. No emergency, or need for speeding.

Just goes to show the cops like having fun in cars as much as we do! Bunch of hippos!

ok. but then i'd be wrong.

true dat.

but not by much. you can have your car confiscated for a short time, then months, then, if in 10 years, you get done being a hoon in a car, it can become "property of the crown" and sold at auction with no money gettin back to ya :P

      Boost cut after swap(RB25DET NEO) R34

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      Don't even try to run it on the stock ECU if you're going to have the boost controller bring boost above ~10 psi. I've already told you that. If you use the Nistune ECU, you will need to CAREFULLY read the available documentation for Neo tuning, and read some threads on the Nistune forums, to discover the various things you have to do to prevent the ECU from going bananas when the boost is too high. The is a table associated with th boost sensor that must be modified to prevent it from shitting the bed. This is just one of the things that you will need to do to the tune in Nistune, because the Neo turbo ECU will be expecting to see a number of things (such as the TCS) that are not there, and you have to block the DTCs on those. It is totally not surprising to me that you are having the problems that you are, but the solutions to these problems have been known for >15 years. So just get it done.

      Boost cut after swap(RB25DET NEO) R34

      By Kapr · Posted

      Hi. Sry iam not a mechanic and iam not at the car atm so i dont know 100% but they told they measure those and even try to change those. AFM they have two. Coils are new a they have my old one too. Plugs too. ECU...we have 25 NEO stock and Nistune 25 NEO.   But i dont know if any one those could be the problem and why/if/what can cause this, Only thing they did not check is fuel...but that walbro 255 is new(like 1,5 years)... That fuel pressure gauge idk...but i let them know Any suggestions?   EDIT: how can they know if it is like you say he ECU pull power when it reaches a specific boost level that is too high? Tha car has boost controler

      Can you clarify what you mean by boost cut, do you mean it misfires both when under load (driving) and when stationary and out of gear? Or does the ECU pull power when it reaches a specific boost level that is too high (boost control issue)? Does it occur at idle with no throttle? When you say "the ECU is OK", what ECU is it and why do you think it is OK? Have you used the NEO ECU, and if so do you have a MAP sensor attached? Same for the AFM, why do you think it is OK? Do you have any way to put a fuel pressure gauge on it (even just a mechanical one between the fuel filter and fuel rail)?

      Hi.. Just another problem. So maybe you can help. I(my mechanic) done swap from my RB20DE NEO to RB25DET NEO. Everything is OK but we have a boost cut. Coils/Plugs are ok...AFM is ok. ECU is ok. I have Walbro 255 but it "changed" sound few months ago(you can hear it ouside) you did not hear that when it was new(maybe faulty?) Sooo...what now? What can cause this boost cut? It is even when you standing still...
