No you know what, I am really pissed off right now. I will write in

You know what shits me more. Of that road toll, how many were drag racing? HONESTLY. I reckon maybe 5% of them. The other 95% were people who were idiots crossing the road when they shouldnt be, were trying to drive brisbane melbourne in a day, were drunk, were eating while driving, were just plain morons.

Furthur. I remember a few years ago the goverment was going to invest in shelters for drug addicts to shoot up in. I am not sure if that happend, but shit, they can put money towards getting druggies off the street, but they totally neglect the fact that we too need a place of our own.

I know a mate with a 180sx. This guys NEVER taken it over 4k i reckon. I know people with 250kw SHOW CARS. This furthur reinforces my idea of being the drivers mentallity, not the car. If i had a 250kw car, id use it as such. BUt many many people dont. So there is no way you can blame the cars.

Finally, i dont see many clapped out imports going around. 99% of import drivers see a problem and have it fixed in a week. Mate, give me a shitbox and ill drive it into he ground. Then ill just abandon it and buy another clapper.

werd. in all honesty... a hoon will be a hoon in any car, regardless if it is modified or not, i know some people that own shitbox charades and drive crazy as hell ( i dont condone it.. im just using it as an example ). it isnt modified in any way, and maxes out at 140 or so.

once again i will state that whole story was just a bunch of typical today tonight bullshit.

This therefore misrepresents us and our cars and our behaviour quite dramatically and I have a good mind to write to Channel 7 and or Mediawatch to ask them where they sourced their footage.

Thoughts / Comments ??

Don't bother screwing around with contacting the people who are trying to get the old folks to believe that all car enthusiasts are hoons.

Instead, contact the show that the old folks watch to find out how much they're being lied to by the media.

:D

There will always be a portion of the population that speeds, does burnouts, does drugs, cheats on people, rapes childrens, f**king eats horse shit. Its call individuality you pricks!

WHERE ARE ALL THE STORIES ON SUICIDE

you might want to rethink that comment before writing in to anywhere...

raping kids makes someone an individual?

Yes, it does.

Just like the charicter on prison break...the white raper guy, he has his own personal charicter, which makes him individual to everyone else....hence. individuality. I mean, id kick his head in, but yes he is still his own individual self.

Just watched the story. Well, fair enough really but to tell you the truth, the more they push, the more we push.

And yes, that was on a track at the start, unless it was like... a big massive carpark in rural AU

we should all go out in commodores one day and be "hoons" hahha i wonder what story will they make out of that?.. or will they still try to push the fact that hoons only drive imports hahahah

ie: said a commodore was a 200sx hahahah (if anyone saw that on the paper lol a few weeks back)

There ya go.

Its the broadband version. All copyrights are to Today Tonite. Im posting it for educational purposes. DO NOT SUE ME!

Thanks - well done :)

dont know that i agree that there were "blatantly racist overtone" of muslims being hoons, i didnt see as look as much into it. But i do know that 99% of the cars i see on the roads "hooning" are people driving VL's, VN's, VK's. XY's, Kingswoods, EL's and other fords/holdens. I mean i dont think most skyline owners are stupid enough to thrash the crap out of a performance car.. specially a manual. Most of the fords and holdens mentioned above cost below $5k are auto and are in crappy condition... Owned by sh*t knackers out to impress friends and fu*k around. Cant say ive ever seen a skyline doing a burnout or doughey's on a public road.. accelerating fast yes, not often speeding.. Today tonight using stereotypes to get a decent story again methinks

Edited by r32 gts-turbo

just a butterup for the hoon laws here in Vic really.

For a article about street racing, what does the Syd MEO have to do with that. hink that was the most absurd part.

I do agree, the "hooning" footage looked to be in a controlled environment.

Another shameful TT news piece

    • What copper washer do you guys use on the bleeder bolts? The existing one I have I had no idea where to find it in a local store, I did buy some online but that are only 1mm thick whereas my old one is 2mm+ thick and when I put the new washer out and squeeze the top radiator hose I can hear a bit of air but not with the old one. Does this matter? The new one doesn't leak, but the inner diameter is a bit loose whereas the old one threads on the bolt.
    • Howdy all, after being out a few weeks ago on a spirited drive in my GTR I have 2 issues that oddly have appeared at the same time. Whilst accelerating quickly through the gears all of a sudden i’ve lost power at the top of third gear (below redline around 6000rpm) for no obvious reason.    From that point onwards the car has been running rich on idle, won’t really rev under load without a ton of black smoke and the odd backfire, and dying as a pull up to a set of lights unless I keep the revs up around 1500rpm. In addition when shutting down the car that same night (I was 10 minutes from home) I noticed one of the turbos was significantly noisy on wind down when shutting off the engine. After letting the car cool down overnight it starts up fine, although once it gets to temp the revs start to creep up and down, the exhaust is darker than it should be and it also sounds like it’s running rich (fat note) I’ve put a new set of plugs in it - no change, the old plugs all seemed OK with two of them being somewhat richer/fueled up than the other 3 with 1 being borderline. I’ve smoked tested the intake system via the front of the Turbos, found a split vacuum hose going to the factory boost gauge sender, which I have since replaced.  Also found another leak on the gasket coming off the rear turbo outlet, have also replaced this. After fixing both of these leaks - still have the running rich issue. I’ve also tried another pair of AFM’s - no change here After pulling off the front turbo intake pipes, there is obvious shaft play in the front turbo, which now hisses loudly on light revvs although I can’t see why this would make the car run funny even under idle. I’m curious to know why it’s running rich before I potentially replace/rebuild turbos. The car is completely stock <50,000kms  other than an exhaust. Oil and coolant are all clear. I haven’t bothered with coil packs as it looks like they won’t be the issue due to condition of the plugs. Any help appreciated as I cry myself to sleep!
    • No probs at all. I used to love trying to dig up obscure info for those in need where possible going back 20+ years on SAU.  I did have another look and couldn't come up with any closer match. I'm leaning towards those skirts in your first pic are custom fitments, cut down/extended or from another car entirely and modded to fit an R34 sedan. I would've thought someone in Japan had them and taken a photo at some stage over the last 2 decades but there's nothing. Someone out there must know surely.
    • Welcome mate. Any pics? Even with a DE I'd be well happy if I had that as a 1st car.
