Supposidly he booted it, the ass went out, he clipped the high gutter which sent him flyin into a parked car... no breaks...

thankfully nobody was hurt, even more of a reason why we need a motorsport complex on the coast.. to get people to stop trying to drift on suburban streets ffs

sh*t he must have been carrying a bit of speed....this will do wonders for the image of imports and the general car scene on the coast. Cant wait to see it on the news tomorrow, I think I can already guess the story!

yeah, great... guess i should de-register the 31 and lock it in the garage for the next 6 months... i'd already had a chat with the local laws of maroochy tonite, and basically.. there nuckling down after Jd and the rest died when they hit the tree.. the pressures on.. and young people in performance cars are now a big target

as quoted from a female officer tonite "You drive a skyline, that is a hoon car, the only reason you drive it is because it is a hoon car, even if you dont want to admit it, even if you drive it around normally, you drive around in packs and encourage others to hoon"

woo.... joys

This was one of the guys of the www.sunshinecoastcruising.com forum....his car was, from what ive read on there pushing out around 400hp with a big single....no real details of the engine that I could find without looking properly. The police have no idea what "hooning" even is they just classify it as driving in anything modified now, its rediculous but thats how it is and this type of thing only reinforces the distorted image they already have of the modified car scene.

Edited by 33NIZ

it was claimed to have had over 500rwhp, but when we saw i run the other weekend it wasnt impressive at all and ceratinly not performing to its claimed 500hp although it did have a bucket load of money spent on it, he used to own a blue r33 and another r33 before that and was active on this forum at one stage. Its a shame cause it was a nice car but you do stupid things in public areas stupid consequences will eventually occur

god is she a dyke. typical uneducated cop off the street. I dont think thats a fair statement to say to a community that enjoys automotive recreation. my 2c.

:P

this makes me incredibly sad, really :wave:

a gun doesn't make someone a murderer, the person who uses it incorrectly is the murderer

stupid f**kwit police, and stupid f**kwits in imports

Yeah, well, if i drive around in my car most times under the speed limit, and they classify me as a hoon, then what do they classify the dickwit business men in their m3's or bmw's who do 160 on the highway?

and fair enough young people who drive performance cars sometimes crash, like the accident up ere with JD and the rest of em in the statesman which hit the tree and killed 3 of em, now there all full on about hoons etc, but they need to even it out a bit and stop pushing the blame onto performance car/import drivers because geez ive watched the news and seen the reports on familys dying while towing there caravan etc but they dont target them, im sure mr business man isnt paranoid about the police when he goes to his car of a evening.... why should I have to feel paranoid because i drive a nice car?

:laugh:

this topic sort of shifted abit. I think the point is the guy knew how fast the car was, hes been driving high performance cars for awhile now & he should of known better than to drive so crazy on a suburban public street. Theres nothing worse than having your car damaged by another bad driver.

unlucky buddy,

That's not UNLUCKY, that's f#k'n STUPIDITY!!!

The sooner we as a collective realise & act upon the fact that stupid acts by an absolute minority of Import owners/drivers are the reason we all get un-fairly targeted for the cars that we choose to drive the sooner we may be able to have that attitude reversed.

:laugh: Comments like "Unlucky buddy" & the mentality that goes with it do NOT help our cause........ :ermm:

But, if we are all REALLY honest, its pretty true. I know lots of people who go down the coast, they dont race, yet they are always in the pack to watch the races... As the saying goes, you dont buy a fast car to not go fast.

I’m sceptical at 500rwhp. But that’s not the point.. Rodgers mates drive this Supra like fools, if in fact it was one of his mates driving; this crash does not surprise me to be honest.

Shame though, was a nice car, and sounded sexy as.

I believe tonight on the New’s they did yet ANOTHER Hoon story, using this Supra? Or perhaps it’s on tomorrow.

    • Per Mark Roberts of Sonictune: Mark Robert Author At this time, no. No ETA either 2016-17 models. You will be able to purchase and install a 2018.5+ TCU though   TCU purchasing and pricing info! As we near the release of TCU tuning, I am going to answer some questions I get asked often.   What do I need for TCU tuning? At this time, you will need a 2018.5+ TCU to be able to tune. If you have a 2016-to early 2018, you will need to replace your TCU with the newer version. One good way to know if your TCU is good is if you have auto upshift in manual mode in 1st gear around 6500 rpms. If your manual 1st gear goes to 7k rpm and will hit the rev limiter unless you shift, you have the older TCU.   Why do I need to buy another ecu license/phone flash if I already have it on my ECU tune? The TCU is its own computer module. It is completely separate from the ECU. Because of this, you will be required to purchase a TCU license and, if your tuner has it, the phone flash license required to tune it via phone/bluetooth.   Do I need TCU tuning? TCU tuning is NOT required. However, the faster your setup, the more it will assist in track and dragy time consistency.   If I’m ECU tuned by (tuner A) can I get my TCU tuned by (Tuner ? Yes, since it’s a different module and a completely separate flash, you can have two different tuners. However, it is highly recommend that you have both tuned by the same tuner. For me, my TCU tuning will directly complement my ECU tuning style and features and running my ECU and another TCU or vice versa MIGHT cause some issues. At this time and for the foreseeable future, I will only be tuning my current ECU tuned customers TCUs.     I have a SYVECS AWD controller. Do I still need it? Yes! The AWD controllers main job is to control your AWD system. However, with TCU tuning, you will no longer need the auto-shift function as that will be done through the TCU. The AWD controller will still be very beneficial for racers looking to maximize traction on the launch.     Shift schedule changes: holding gears longer at lower pedal input as well as max shift rpm changes. Please note, the new ECU race rom coming out will address 90% of the shitty drivability issues these cars have through custom maps from myself and Racebox—as well as others I am sure.   Increase shift speeds: as seen in the videos I’ve been posting, the TCU shifts much faster once tuned.   Increased shift pressures: as also seen in the videos, much firmer full throttle shifts.

    • The fancy pants red shock tower brace is finally incoming from MX5 Mania, getting it shipped from 'Merica has been a long and problematic process, and GWR, the 'Merican supplier will not ship directly to consumers outside of the US, Mania basically had to order a heap of them, the colour choice was silver, or red, and we all know anything red adds 5 killerwasps of dynotorques..... Whilst it does fit over a 2.5, and I've seen a few photos and videos of it being installed and fitting, google also says it might get real close to the FAB9 intake front runner, people in the US says it does fit with the FAB9 intake, except for one person who said it slightly touched.......so there is that.....LOL..... As it seems that I am the first in AU to have this combination of parts there's no local knowledge about fitment, so I'm just a willing guinea pig in this endeavour, I'll cross my fingers and toes and hope for the best In other news, I ordered stuff from China  on the same day I ordered the 23° silicone bend from Victoria, the stuff from China arrived a day ago, the 23° silicone bend is still travelling around Australia thanks to Australia Post, and "may" be here next week
    • Very good news...I contacted Racebox about it last night. My car is a 2016 so remains to be seen if it is compatible, requires a TCU swap, or is impossible.
    • What ECU are you running? This is probably the biggest question. If it's a PowerFC, I'd probably change the ECU and get something newer that will handle the injectors in a nicer way.
