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.

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

funny how some people are bagging the guy then admitting they do the same thing with their parents' cars.....

i spose that's ok coz they don't have the sau stickers on....

i'm not gonna jump on the wagon and start bagging the guy coz i can't say i never done the same thing myself.

meh..

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.....

noone said you need an SAU sticker to state your opinion

you should probably read the posts before commenting.

i read your posts.

you went A LOT further than that. you know it too.

you made youre point. dont keep sticking in the boot. its unnecessary.or dont you think so?

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

you all sit here and bag the shit outa this block for posting a video of himself doing a skid, your telling me when you watched the top secret cars do 300km++ runs on the open road putting everyone in a much greater danger with huge TOP SECRET down the side you sat there and thought "shame on you top secret for posting this" wake up to reality theres alot more forum members who have video's of them doing stupid shit on open roads.. yet nothing becomes of it. as m3gtr said get a grip...

noone said you need an SAU sticker to state your opinion

what i meant to say was " become a club member" in response to another post.

    • Update 3: Hi all It's been a while. Quite a lot of things happened in the meantime, among other things the car is (almost) back together and ready to be started again. Things that I fixed or changed: Full turbo removal, fitting back the OEM turbo oil hardlines. Had to do quite a bit of research and parts shopping to get every last piece that I need and make it work with the GT2860 turbos, but it does work and is not hard to do. Proves that the previous owner(s) just did not want to. While I was there I set the preload for the wastegates to 0,9bar to hopefully make it easier for the tuner to hit the 370hp I need for the legal inspections that will follow later on. Boost can always go up if necessary. Fitted a AN10 line from the catch can to the intake hose to make the catchcan and hopefully the cam covers a slight vacuum to have less restrictive oil returns from the head and not have mud build up as harshly in the lines and catch can. Removed the entire front interior just shy of the dashboard itself to clean up some of the absolutely horrendous wiring, (hopefully) fix the bumpy tacho and put in LED bulbs while I was there. Also put in bulbs where there was none before, like the airbag one. I also used that chance to remove the LED rpm gauge on the steering column, which was also wired in absolute horror show fashion. Moved the 4in1 Prosport gauge from sitting in front of the OEM oil pressure gauge to the center console vents, I used a 3D printed vent piece to hold that gauge there. The HKB steering wheel boss was likely on incorrectly as I sometimes noticed the indicator reset being uneven for left vs. right. In the meantime also installed an airbag delete resistor, as one should. Installed Cube Speed premium short shifter. Feels pretty nice, hope it'll work great too when I actually get to drive. Also put on a fancy Dragon Ball shift knob, cause why not. My buddy was kind enough to weld the rust hole in the back, it was basically rusted through in the lowermost corner of the passenger side trunk area where the wheel arch, trunk panel and rear quarter all meet. Obviously there is still a lot of crustiness in various areas but as long as it's not rusted out I'll just treat and isolate the corrosion and pretend it's not there. Also had to put down a new ground wire for the rear subframe as the original one was BARELY there. Probably a bit controversial depending on who you ask about this... but I ended up just covering the crack in the side of the engine block, the one above the oil feed, with JB Weld. I used a generous amount and roughed up the whole area with a Dremel before, so I hope this will hold the coolant where it should be for the foreseeable future. Did a cam cover gasket job as the half moons were a bit leaky, and there too one could see the people who worked on this car before me were absolute tools. The same half moons were probably used like 3 times without even cleaning the old RTV off. Dremeled out the inside of the flange where the turbine housing mates onto the exhaust manifolds so the diameter matches, as the OEM exhaust manifolds are even narrower than the turbine housings as we all know. Even if this doesn't do much, I had them out anyways, so can't harm. Ideally one would port-match both the turbo and the manifold to the gasket size but I really didn't feel up to disassembling the turbine housings. Wrapped turbo outlet dumps in heat wrap band. Will do the frontpipe again as well as now the oil leak which promted me to tear apart half the engine in the first place is hopefully fixed. Fitted an ATI super damper to get rid of the worn old harmonic balancer. Surely one of the easiest and most worth to do mods. But torquing that ARP bolt to spec was a bitch without being able to lock the flywheel. Did some minor adjustments in the ECU tables to change some things I didn't like, like the launch control that was ALWAYS active. Treated rusty spots and surface corrosion on places I could get to and on many spots under the car, not pretty or ideal but good enough for now. Removed the N1 rear spats and the carbon surrounding for the tailpipe to put them back on with new adhesive as the old one was lifting in many spots, not pretty. Took out the passenger rear lamp housing... what do you know. Amateur work screwed me again here as they were glued in hard and removing it took a lot of force, so I broke one of the housing bolts off. And when removing the adhesive from the chassis the paint came right off too. Thankfully all the damaged area won't be visible later, but whoever did the very limited bodywork on this car needs to have their limbs chopped off piece by piece.   Quite a list if I do say so myself, but a lot of time was spent just discovering new shit that is wrong with the car and finding a solution or parts to fix it. My last problem that I now have the headache of dealing with is that the exhaust studs on the turbo outlets are M10x1.25 threaded, but the previous owner already put on regular M10 nuts so the threads are... weird. I only found this out the hard way. So now I will just try if I can in any way fit the front pipe regardless, if not I'll have to redo the studs with the turbos installed. Lesson learned for the future: Redo ALL studs you put your hands on, especially if they are old and the previous owners were inept maniacs. Thanks for reading if you did, will update when the engine runs again. Hope nothing breaks or leaks and I can do a test drive.
    • No those pads are DBA too  but they have colors too. I look at the and imo the green "street" are the best.
    • I’m not sure what happened I told them about sonic tunes free OTS tune and the next the I know .. I was booted..   To funny 
    • Yea - I mean I've seen my fuel pump which is decades old and uh, while I'm not saying this with real knowledge... but I sure get the ick at using anything in the fuel system that produced the state of that pump. Many years ago I went through multiple pumps (and strainers) before I dropped the tank to clean it out with extreme violence. I'm talking the car would do maybe 50km before coming to a halt, which resulted in me cleaning out the filter with some brake cleaner and going on my way. None of my stuff ever looked like what came out of your fuel tank. I don't think I'd be happy with it unless every single component was replaced (or at least checked/cleaned/confirmed to be clean here).
