yeh that was bullsh*t and the fact that the car infront when they were showing the street bit was a skyline means that we are going to get targeted even more. i get told off by people when i am going 40 in a 50 zone. it piss*s me off so i stop and give them a piece of it haha

AHHAA

i watch that tonight and i couldn't believed they think the footage is from australia. I was thinking about sending them an email saying how they have miss informed the viewer and the footage is in fact from japan and is very old (3-4years old) if i remember right the 1st time i saw the footage it had a title like Drifting in japan initial d style Rx7 vs r32

i think your best bet is to email channel 9 show and tell them about it, as they always run things about how today tonight f**ks up LOL

Anybody who believes a today tonight story could be the slightest bit factual needs to visit a doctor and get their head taken out of their arse. I saw it and thought it was pretty funny, especially the cop browsing youtube to try and convict people lol. Replaying street drifting videos from japan every 2 seconds surely must have been the idea of some new student who has just posted their enrolment forms for a media course.

Dont bother complaining to today tonight, they won't give a sh*t and will continue to air bogus stories to their target audience of old senile gullible people. I'd suggest emailing the chaser's war on everything about it if you want to attempt to get any sort of positive resolution, they love ripping the shit out of today tonight and ACA.

So has anyone e-mailed today tonight or channel 9 or even chasers then? we could at least try? if anyone can provide me with some footage of it so i know what i am talking about i am more than happy to send e-mails through.

I met Dixie Marshall who heads up channel 9 news team, i think thats a great idea. Dont know if it will go to air however might give channel 9 some ammunition if something else were to happen as well. She said that they do like stuff like that :thumbsup:

There are only two ways to deal properly with them:

1: Don't watch it. If the show comes up in conversation tell anyone who is prepared to listen not to watch it. Clearly the stories & the "journalism" on the show are from the bottom draw. In fact how the have the gall to call it current afairs is beyond me. None the less while ever they can get ratings that are in any way acceptable they will continue to broadcast such rubbish. So stop watching. This will both lower their ratings & also stop everyone from getting upset...

2: If you want to complain, you have to do it first to Channel 7. Effectively to complain to the ACMA (Australian Communications & Media Authority) you need to give the broadcaster (channel 7) the opportunity to resolve your grievance. The link is here. http://www.acma.gov.au/WEB/STANDARD//pc=PC_90137

You can also try the Chaser & Media Watch. But this happens all the time & the tv stations have a hide as thick as a rhino's.

They can go around and drift RC cars around town and then have people dressed up as cops give them speeding fines and impound them :thumbsup:

I volunteer my RC drift car for the segment :thumbsup:

Seriously, that segment was just utter bullshit.. ".. wherever they are, we'll catch them.. " yeah mate, fly to japan and TRY catch the people so you can hold them accountable to Australian laws.. Top Stuff. Is anyone else disgusted with how stupid our "top cops" appear to be?!?

Surprised? No, not really.

Remember these are the same people who periodically confess they are unable to actually do anything about curbing the road toll.

How long would you keep you job after you told your boss you didn't know how to do it?

Or for that matter completely misrepresented something that it takes all of 10 minutes to verify (ie drifting was in Japan)?

Accountability for both the police & for journalists is completely non existant.

    • Put a fuel pressure gauge on it. Replace the turbos. Probably completely separate issues.
    • What copper washer do you guys use on the bleeder bolts? The existing one I have I had no idea where to find it in a local store, I did buy some online but that are only 1mm thick whereas my old one is 2mm+ thick and when I put the new washer out and squeeze the top radiator hose I can hear a bit of air but not with the old one. Does this matter? The new one doesn't leak, but the inner diameter is a bit loose whereas the old one threads on the bolt.
    • Howdy all, after being out a few weeks ago on a spirited drive in my GTR I have 2 issues that oddly have appeared at the same time. Whilst accelerating quickly through the gears all of a sudden i’ve lost power at the top of third gear (below redline around 6000rpm) for no obvious reason.    From that point onwards the car has been running rich on idle, won’t really rev under load without a ton of black smoke and the odd backfire, and dying as a pull up to a set of lights unless I keep the revs up around 1500rpm. In addition when shutting down the car that same night (I was 10 minutes from home) I noticed one of the turbos was significantly noisy on wind down when shutting off the engine. After letting the car cool down overnight it starts up fine, although once it gets to temp the revs start to creep up and down, the exhaust is darker than it should be and it also sounds like it’s running rich (fat note) I’ve put a new set of plugs in it - no change, the old plugs all seemed OK with two of them being somewhat richer/fueled up than the other 3 with 1 being borderline. I’ve smoked tested the intake system via the front of the Turbos, found a split vacuum hose going to the factory boost gauge sender, which I have since replaced.  Also found another leak on the gasket coming off the rear turbo outlet, have also replaced this. After fixing both of these leaks - still have the running rich issue. I’ve also tried another pair of AFM’s - no change here After pulling off the front turbo intake pipes, there is obvious shaft play in the front turbo, which now hisses loudly on light revvs although I can’t see why this would make the car run funny even under idle. I’m curious to know why it’s running rich before I potentially replace/rebuild turbos. The car is completely stock <50,000kms  other than an exhaust. Oil and coolant are all clear. I haven’t bothered with coil packs as it looks like they won’t be the issue due to condition of the plugs. Any help appreciated as I cry myself to sleep!
    • No probs at all. I used to love trying to dig up obscure info for those in need where possible going back 20+ years on SAU.  I did have another look and couldn't come up with any closer match. I'm leaning towards those skirts in your first pic are custom fitments, cut down/extended or from another car entirely and modded to fit an R34 sedan. I would've thought someone in Japan had them and taken a photo at some stage over the last 2 decades but there's nothing. Someone out there must know surely.
