Had a Guy at work say it was going to be on A Current Affair?

Anyone able to confirm 100% which one it is supposed to be on as I'm curious to watch this story..

And Both websites for the programs don't say anything.. Typical.. Never tell you anything just to get you watching ALL week :)

Cheers !

pft if one jumps on it they all jump on it.. assholes..

thing is they'll show it as guys doing burnouts and things like its so "dangerous" and people will think its like that because they've got it drummed into their heads under every circumstance will speed kill (it doesn't, or most of us wouldn't be hear speaking now would we).. and yet, when i was at calder a few weeks ago in the burnout comp, cars were doing burnouts with no kind of barrier metre or two from the crowd. What is the difference? not much, just one has officials around, and one doesn't.. big deal.

Thats probably another reason actually.. people get hurt.. costs the government money in TAC cover.

We should all chip in and buy a carpark somewhere :D then its private property.. not much they can do then.

It really doesn't matter what channel/time it is on... I'll give you the SCOOP!

You'll see a couple of older-model falcadores in gutters and around trees, police casing a few cars, falcadores doing burnouts and it'll all get blamed on young drivers and imported cars!

      Update 4: Hi all. The car drives again! Haven't driven for long, only to store it in the garage again, but the test drive was successful. The coolant and oil leaks seem to be fixed for now. Temps on the engine were also very good, while moving I never even saw 80C water during the approx. 30 minute drive. Ate up all the coolant in the reservoir though so will have to fill that even more when I go to the car next time. One thing that pisses me off is that the RPM gauge is still f**ked, I even resoldered the board twice and used copper paste on the silly screws that are used as connections. Next time I take it out I'll take apart the board and fit new components, I'll see if I can get a replacement IC for it.  I have an appointment set for 22nd of September for the engine tune to 370hp. Alignment also still needs to be done. My hope is that I can get all the legal stuff over with by the end of this season. Anyone of you have advice regarding intercoolers? Currently there is an APEXI core fitted, one of those weird hybrid ones, 600x270x76. I don't think it's bad but it's not new and now I still have the chance to change it now to legally include it in the paperwork. Only issue is that the only options that would arrive in time are a HKS Type R intercooler or generic Ebay spec intercoolers comparable to a JustJap one. Ideally I'd order a Plazmaman but it takes over a month to receive which would mean making the car legal has to wait until next season. Would love to hear some input on this. Same story for my injectors, the previous owner was a nunce and put ID 1050x on the engine. They work but are obviously not ideal at "normal" power levels. But I don't see a reason to change them unless the tuner says it's necessary. I read online before buying a different exhaust that the top secret style rear diffusers won't fit due to the size of the rear resonators. My buddy and I made it work by slightly "adjusting the shape" of the mounting bracket and making some spacers out of 3d print for the mounting bolts. Fits like a charm. Just putting this here in case someone has this problem. Even the hefty HKS Silent Hi Power rear can fits without hitting anything.

      ECU sees many times the speed than speedo does (R34 swap)

      It's needed for rolling idle up, and I think it is a decider on VCT also.

      I mean, not really. Link ECU's can absolutely still have errors from the ECU thinking it's getting a sensor it's not expecting. I would imagine the speed at the ECU level in Nistune does absolutely nothing anyway? I assume the ECU does not do any fancy TC stuff with regards to front+rear wheel speed or anything of that like anyway. Someone who uses Nistune may be more fluent in it.

      Not yet quite as bad as what we've seen a Jim Berry clutch do in an R32 GTR though when it decided to cut a chassis rail in half... Still very very gnarly and a great reason to avoid.
