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.

Haha i like that idea :happy:

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.

      Boost cut after swap(RB25DET NEO) R34

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      Don't even try to run it on the stock ECU if you're going to have the boost controller bring boost above ~10 psi. I've already told you that. If you use the Nistune ECU, you will need to CAREFULLY read the available documentation for Neo tuning, and read some threads on the Nistune forums, to discover the various things you have to do to prevent the ECU from going bananas when the boost is too high. The is a table associated with th boost sensor that must be modified to prevent it from shitting the bed. This is just one of the things that you will need to do to the tune in Nistune, because the Neo turbo ECU will be expecting to see a number of things (such as the TCS) that are not there, and you have to block the DTCs on those. It is totally not surprising to me that you are having the problems that you are, but the solutions to these problems have been known for >15 years. So just get it done.

      Boost cut after swap(RB25DET NEO) R34

      By Kapr · Posted

      Hi. Sry iam not a mechanic and iam not at the car atm so i dont know 100% but they told they measure those and even try to change those. AFM they have two. Coils are new a they have my old one too. Plugs too. ECU...we have 25 NEO stock and Nistune 25 NEO.   But i dont know if any one those could be the problem and why/if/what can cause this, Only thing they did not check is fuel...but that walbro 255 is new(like 1,5 years)... That fuel pressure gauge idk...but i let them know Any suggestions?   EDIT: how can they know if it is like you say he ECU pull power when it reaches a specific boost level that is too high? Tha car has boost controler

      Can you clarify what you mean by boost cut, do you mean it misfires both when under load (driving) and when stationary and out of gear? Or does the ECU pull power when it reaches a specific boost level that is too high (boost control issue)? Does it occur at idle with no throttle? When you say "the ECU is OK", what ECU is it and why do you think it is OK? Have you used the NEO ECU, and if so do you have a MAP sensor attached? Same for the AFM, why do you think it is OK? Do you have any way to put a fuel pressure gauge on it (even just a mechanical one between the fuel filter and fuel rail)?

      Hi.. Just another problem. So maybe you can help. I(my mechanic) done swap from my RB20DE NEO to RB25DET NEO. Everything is OK but we have a boost cut. Coils/Plugs are ok...AFM is ok. ECU is ok. I have Walbro 255 but it "changed" sound few months ago(you can hear it ouside) you did not hear that when it was new(maybe faulty?) Sooo...what now? What can cause this boost cut? It is even when you standing still...
