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.

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.....

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

      Unknown sound similar to BOV on positive boost with partial throttle RB26

      By nouveau_poor · Posted

      Hi everyone, I've been wrestling with this for a while now and have been trying to find out the cause. For context, the turbos used are Garrett 2860 -5s, the BOV is a BNR32 HKS SSQV IV kit, the car is currently tuned to ~470 whp on 17.5 psi. The car drives normally, pulls well when it doesn't happen, and I can replicate it fairly easily. It does not sound like turbo shuffle or flutter. The engine has only a thousand or so miles and has had this behavior since it was completed. After my engine was built for my R32 GTR, I noticed that the car now sometimes makes an air discharge sound on what appears to be positive boost pressure that sounds really similar to a BOV. I had thought that it was a BOV issue but even when replacing it with a brand new unit, the sound persisted. It seems like it's coming from the passenger side but I may be mistaken. The closest scenario I could find was this post here https://www.gtr.co.uk/threads/maybe-a-boost-leak-opinions.147955/https://www.gtr.co.uk/threads/maybe-a-boost-leak-opinions.147955/ started by @yakshii and it sounds very similar. As in, at partial throttle once I reach positive boost I begin to hear the same psh psh psh psh psh sound like air is leaking somewhere when I keep the throttle in the same position. It most commonly happens in 4th gear at around 3-3.5k RPM and 5th gear around 2.5-3k RPM, which seems to coincide with normal positive boost thresholds. It might be similar to what @Austrian GTR mentioned about his own HKS SSQV. Notable difference would be that when he applies more throttle when it happens, it stops. In my scenario if I apply more throttle during this repeated psh psh psh sound, the cadence of the sound gets faster and louder rather than stopping. If I lift off slightly and apply throttle again, it will normally stop and pull without issue. I've checked all rubber couplers to ensure that they are tight, but have not gotten the opportunity to properly do a pressurized boost leak test. If anyone has had similar experiences or thoughts on what might be the cause, I'd be very keen to hear them. I also have a video of it happening from inside the cabin, if that would make it easier to understand: https://youtu.be/2zqZXcx8jbA
