Hi all,

If you're a Sth East resident or surrounding areas, chances is you'll see an article on your local LEADER MAGAZINE today with title say RACING AGAINST CRIME.

We all know what this article is all about, its about what happened on the infamous Friday night at Noble Park maccas. LEADER newspaper have set up a phone number and an email so we can express our opinions in relating to SHOULD SANDOWN hold more car events?

Please SMS 0402 967 387 or email [email protected]

If you have spare times, maybe include some extra sentences to tell them about events like Winton funday, practice days.........and so on.

Though we know its a question that HAD an answer for for so long, maybe this time they will actually do something about it.

West ;)

It will take some attention away.

People arn't there just to start shit. I was there on the night of havoc and the week before. The week before was just racing. Did not see one dispute. Sure still alot of wanks, although nothing compared to the week after that which was just discraceful and obviously gives us car enthusiasts a bad name.

Are people getting dumber?

"Just racing"?

IT'S A PUBLIC STREET!

Not just any public street, an extremely busy highway.

If you are one of the people who was there, then you are a part of the problem.

Don't even bother trying to pass yourself off as an "enthusiast".

A genuine enthusiast doesn't engage in illegal activities to participate in their sport.

i dont know where you get your facts

but i think youll find that every sport began from some sort of illegal behaviour

base jumping for example is a sport, and many active enthusiasts willingly break the law

to achieve some spectacular jumps

the same can b applied to motor racing

drifting for example started in the hills of japan

some food for thought...

Only person a base jumper will kill by breaking a law is himself....

You just killed your own argument mate im afraid.

Drag Racing in legal confines/conditions has been around for quite some time.

Drag Racing isnt really a new phenomenon we are talking about here :sorcerer:

If this was a new craze, then people might well view it differently... but alas, it couldnt be further from it on this occasion.

Aside from that, would be good to see Sandown having more events.

The facility is there, why not use it?

If you charged $40 a night (more reasonable than Bob's a$$-rip price) i think you'd find it would be 140+ cars a night without much of a drama seeing the numbers than Calder still pulls because there isnt anywhere else to go so they have a monopoly on it all.

The police really need to being back thier Bluey project (is it still around?) as i have not heard/seen anything for a while. IMO it was a good thing indeed.

Make sure you have officers there that are sociable, rather than arrogant and pig-headed like some of the TMU's can be at times... and then relations would become better... probably by not a lot.

But if they change one persons view a night, i would put that down as success.

Yes the usual 15yr old kids where there boo'in and hiss'in but you get that from children.

I remember chatting at length to a few Officers @ the F1 GP a few years back.

They were TMU and patrolled the Seymour area, thier sociable attitudes and ability to talk to the enthusiast definately made a point with me as i wasnt exactly a "lover" of the law back in those days.

Not that i am now, but i'll at least give them officer who pulls me over a nice attitude rather than come out of the car all fired up :laugh:

I'll drop and email definately sometime this week.

I think that some people are missing the point. It is illegal to do that kind of shit on the street full stop. It doesn’t matter wether you think that you are not hurting people, if you race, drag, drift etc... On the street then you are a Hoon not an enthusiast. I know that most people have done something like this at some stage, but it still doesn't make it right. And just because some sports may have started out illegally, doesn't mean it has to continue. This is all about opening up facilities to the public so that this kind of activity can be done legally by all who are willing. It wont fix the problem, but it is a start.

Edit: e-mail sent...

      What brakes on R34 GTT(Europe)

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      The 296mm rotors are the R33 turbo brakes. The 310mm rotors are the R34 turbo brakes. The calipers are nearly the same, but not. They're the same caliper but the R34 caliper has longer legs so that it sits out far enough to go over the rotor. The pads are the same for both. When you say, "I bough tsome EBC"....did you just mean pads? Or rotors? 310mm rotors fit under 17" wheels. There may be some wheels without enough clearance though. I can't fit my fingers between the barrel of my wheel and the "corners" of my R34 calipers, but there is plenty of room behind the spokes. This is on Enkei RPF1. You can fit 324mm rotors inside a 17" wheel, but I'd be willing to bet that it would be close to impossible with the Nissan/Sumitomo caliper (using an adapter, of course), because the Sumitomo caliper is fatter than the Brembo caliper that is supposed to go on the 324mm rotors.

      Hi. Can someone tell me what brakes(and mainly WHERE) can i buy brakes on R34 GTT? I bought some EBC which SHOULD go on my car(i have GT but it has GTT brakes) but it does not fit, Brakes are "too" small(296mm) Are 310mm be good or? I have 17 inch wheel so no "big boys" but for me driving i just need one that fits and i can get here in EU/Czech.

      WGNC34 - floor mats

      By Marek · Posted

      Hey. Very valuable information about pitwork, I will pay attention when buying any consumable parts 🙏 As for the carpets - I got a handful of information from nengun, from which it appears that indeed the carpets for the driver's side are OEM. They are not able to show me any pictures due to the long chain of different sales entities but after I place the order, as soon as the goods arrive at the nengun warehouse from which they will send the shipment to me they can send me photos and if my purchase differs from OEM I can immediately return it / cancel the purchase. I think I will give it a try 😉. Of course i'll let you know what's what as soon as i get them P.s. I know the topic is not relevant to the thread, but both nengun and amayama have these SICK 😍 trunk room lamps available. Do you know anyone who ordered them? I need to have one in my car
