Yeah, my mum came racing into the dining room this evening..

"Mark Mark look! Skylines have been caught hooning!!"

my reply:

"Great, just what I f**king need, more attention by the boys and blue, and people giving me sideways looks because of what I f**king drive...."

Just kept eating my roast... The media always screws car enthusiasts and I really couldn't be buggered tonight...

Mind you, I got caught for hoon laws last year, so call me a hypocrite, but at least I had the consideration TO DO IT IN A FREAKING VL COMMODORE!!!!

Im sure there is just as many falcadore and commonwhore drivers being hoons too.

In every club/culture/instituion etc there is a minority that will do the wrong thing. Even the police force...thats why they have internal affairs etc.

It cant be stopped and the public will always brand the whole group the same!

Just have to live with it and move on.

lol lucky for me the news crew wasnt there 5 mins earlier.....

they were nailing plenty of cars that night,12 to be exact, car club part might have something to do with the fact there was a cruise on fri night, and the cops knew about it.

The government needs to make some more places where people can go and push their cars to the limit. We have a drag strip at the bottom of perth and a race track at the top of perth (which is pretty crap) and we just need more. They forget about all the people that are into cars

Yes im sure that all of the posters in this thread have never broken a law in their lives. :(

I suppose threads like are just a part of life as are news based shows making a fuss about "the menace on our streets: endangering our children and raping our pets"

Im in the "ignore it and it will go away" boat im afraid.

I'm so bored of these threads. If someone tells you your a hoon because of the car you drive.. slap em over the head or something and tell em to wake up to the fact that its people that drive cars not cars that drive people.

But anyway I'm sure pretty much everyone on here has done silly stuff in their cars at one stage.. you just didnt get caught on camera like that guy.

I'm not saying I've always been an angel on the road. I've had speeding fines and a car accident when I was 18. I have learnt from all that.

I just wish the media would stop generalising, as for the most part, I am a safe driver as I'm sure most of you are.

    • So stock ECU does not like anything above 10 psi?  That Nistune one is just for "try" if it will be any different, I know it need to be tune for that. I know but YOU may know about these problem but i/we dont. They few little Skylines here let alone people who know anything about tham so that is why iam asking here  
    • So now we have a radiator with no attachments whatsoever. It lifts up with a particularly tight spot between the drivers side air box mount and the lower radiator outlet, but if you've got this far you will sort that too. This is the lower mounts with the rad out so you can see where the rubber bushes go, it is a straight shot upwards Done! Assembly is the reverse of disassembly, with blood less likely to be shed.
    • Right, onto the second last trick. The Air Con condenser is mounted to the front of the radiator and stays in the car when the radiator is removed. There are 2x 10mm headed self tappers holding the top of the condenser to the radiator, remove those The bottom of the condenser is attached to the radiator with clips. You need to lift the condenser out of those clips and clear (up, then forward). f**ked if  could work out how to do that last bit with the front bumper on. I hope you can, and you share the trick.  Bumper removal probably deserves its own thread one day once I've recovered the will to live, but basically you need to remove the wheels, front inner guard liners (clips and 10mm headed bolts), the self tapper between the guard and the bumper at the rearmost point of the bumper (same as an R32 that bit), any remaining clips at the top/front of the grill, an absolute bastard design with a plate that holds the top of the bumper above the headlight each side (only 1 bolt which is tricky to get to, but the plate catches 2 places on the bumper and must be removed....carefully!) and push clips between the bumper and guard under the headlight. If you've done all that you will be faced with wiring for the fog lights on both sides and in ADM Q50 RS at least, 4 nasty tight plugs on the driver's side for the ADAS stuff. So, the clips at the bottom look like this on drivers side (looking from the front) And on the passenger side (also from the front), you can see this one is already out Clearance on both of these are super tight; the condenser needs to move up but the upper rad support mount prevents that, and the radiator can't move down far because it is (rubber) mounted. Once you achieve the impossible and drop the condenser off those mounts so it does not stop the rad moving, you are good to go
    • OK, next the shroud needs to come off and there are a couple of tricks. Firstly, there is a loom from near the passenger side headlight to the fans, coolant temp sensor etc and there is no plug to undo.  In my case I was OK to leave the shroud on top of the engine so I just undid the passenger side fan plug and about 10 of the clips which gave enough free wire to put it aside. The fan plugs were super tight, the trick I used was a small falt screwdriver to push down on the release tab, then a larger flat screwdriver to lever the plug out of the fan unit....be careful with how much force you apply! If you need to remove the shroud altogether for some reason you will have to deal with all the plugs (tight) and clips (brittle)....good luck. I removed all of the clips and replaced them with cable ties that I will just cut next time. Also, in the Red Sport / 400R at least, the intake heat exchanger reservoir hose is bolted to the shroud in 2 places with 10mm headed bolts; so remove them (the hose stays in the car; no need to undo it at the t fittings down at the radiator lower mount. Once you've dealt with the HX hose and the wiring loom, there are 3x 10mm headed self tappers holding the top of the shroud to the radiator; remove those.   The shroud then lifts out of the bottom mounts where it sits on the radiator, up and onto the engine out of the way. Simples
    • Ok, disregard my “rate them” comment, sorry for my unrealistic input
