man im kinda glad i dont live in Oz anymore. It was this kind of " kick the guy when hes down" attituted that was a deciding factor in my move to Tokyo. except in this case its only a kid. Where do people get off sticking the boot in? So what if he blew his motor? thats a price he was going to have to be willing to pay when doing the things he did.

the video on youtube? didnt see it. And judging by the replys a lot of others didnt either. Thats not the point anyway. You harpoon this kid while at the same time hiding the fact that when we were P platers we did exactly the same bloody things..

so you think "hypocrites" isnt an appropriate word for people who act like this? I do.

and i wont hide the fact that i did stupid things behind the wheel when i was 18. lots of dumb things. more than just inside a car. you ALL did too.

cut him some slack. No ONE got hurt. His engine is gonna cost a motza to fix. If he had any brains after this hed take a defensive driver course or get a cams license. and let loose on a circuit.

Many of you fail to realise and understand that this is not reasonably or practically viable n many instances. So people resort to the street. The kids BIGGEST mistake, more thaan letting rip or blowing his motor was posting on Youtube. Its made millionaires into buffons and no-ones into someones. Unfortunately, in this case, it showed his stupidity to the world and with it SAU members.

dont rip him because of the double edged sword the internet is. advice should be given. Not a beating.

get a bloody grip.

Aww, everytime theres one of these it gets deleted b4 i get to see it, i sorta don't see why a burnout is such a big deal anyway.. Spose because of the stickers.. =.=

and look at the lynching the kid copped because of it.

you know...NO-ONE else on SAU ( heaven forbid!! ) would do anything of the sort! wouldnt be seen dead with smoke comiing off the tyres...

and posting it on the internet with club stickers showing....being a club member is completely different from joining the forum.

the point being made... was that he was giving the club a bad name by being a dick on public roads.. with people around, whilst having the club stickers on his car.

im the first to admit im no angel on the roads... ive never once stated i am. but being a sick c**t at sum random industrial estate at 3am where theres noone around is different to a main road in sydney.

thats the point... its giving the club a bad name. the club and forum are 2 different things...

if you have the skylines australia stickers on the car, your representing the club by doing so... thats the point being made.

yep, nobody cares, not giving the club a bad name. It's kinda like cheating on vce exams and getting caught, you did it not the rest of your school, but your school still gets a bad name to the public not you.....

i made my point with the first few posts.

the other posts ive made in this thread are just correcting people such as yourself or agreeing with someone else...

ok i did see the video..

he was on a main road.. the wheels were not just spinning and smoking.. the car was moving around, he obviously didnt know how to control it, the car in front of him started to move away cos he couldnt tell where the car was going to slide off to next..

its was a stupid thing to do, in the middle of the day, in the main road at wisemans ferry, on a hill.. with cars parked around him, people trying to drive on the road and people walking past.

i for one, can say, I have NEVER done some thing like that.

and then to say he was proud of doing it, is even more stupid.

I have stuck up for you in the past Alex. but this is just stupid..

this is just as bad as you getting pulled over doing, what was it again, 40 over the speed limit? in a 60/70 zone?

im not sticking up for you this time buddy

      Unpeeling the Orange

      Thanks for the linkie. Certainly always a great deal of help when people post comparisons like these, but I think for now I'll stay away from any semi slicks. I did go ahead and order the sportcontact 7. My buddy has them on his modified A4 and he keeps saying how good they are. For my intended purposes these will probably work real well. I'll report on them once I had the chance to try them out

      Talk about noisy. Even when I still had the Tomei under the car I could distinctly hear the tires rolling. And I doubt I ever will need maximum grip like on a track. My GTR will maybe never even see the 600hp mark and I need to get used to the car quite a bit before challenging the limits of its handling. For the next winter storage I think I will get a set of these rubber drive-on thingies that have a tire shaped base. Those supposedly really help prevent flat spots.

      Well our climate is definitely way less hot overall and the weather can be quite picky at times. I just know that during normal road use or even spirited drives there is no way I'd be able to consistently stay in the operating temperature, and constantly changing the tire pressure would also be a royal pain.

      Input shaft bearing. They all do it. There is always rollover noise in Nissan boxes - particularly the big box. Don't worry about it unless it gets really growly.

      RB20DE NEO smallbox clutch.

      By Kapr · Posted

      For once a good news  It needed to be adjusted by that one nut and it is ok  At least something was easy But thank you very much for help. But a small issue is now(gearbox) that when the car is stationary you can hear "clinking" from gearbox so some of the bearing is 100% not that happy... It goes away once you push clutch so it is 100% gearbox. Just if you know...what that bearing could be? It sounding like "spun bearing" but it is louder.
