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.

who says they were giving sauwa a bad rep?? no where did i see or hear them use the name of any clubs.

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.

    • They are, a good friend of mine bought one to replace his blow factory turbo, running a Toshi Tune reflash. Just use their supplied water/oil lines and you're good to go. At the time, they were like $900 delivered.
    • This is an option for 100% bolt on, the GCG high flow -  https://gcg.com.au/turbo-charger-upgrade-skyline-gtst-2iu-xtrgts-s1.html Also, I'm pretty sure hypergear does a high flow that is 100% bolt on, it just doesn't make as much power as their bigger high flows.  Even if you get a hypergear turbo that requires you to chance the intake piping, it is a really simple modification. It can be as simple as a piece of silicon hose and you pop a filter on the end. It doesn't have to be some crazy pie cut titanium work of art intake pipe.  If you have the ability to swap the turbo yourself, you would be able to sort the intake piping out. 
    • Just as a thought, if it's in neutral, thats your drive line disconnect, not the clutch. Clutch slip at the dyno with pedal fully out, is actually adding a second disconnect. So it's not a clutch issue if you're in neutral. Just a bit of friction dragging the output around while in the air.
    • The HG high flow is excellent, and costs about the $$ you're talking about. But it, and probably every other highflow, uses a diffeent core than the original turo, and the original Hitatchi core is quite long. So, I think it is inevitable that there is likely no such thing as a highflow that just "bolts on" with no other effort required. And the same is likely true for HG's outright replacement "bolt on" turbos (the ATR things). And the same is likely true for anything similar from elsewhere. I have no idea if the cheap Chinese/Taiwanese complete turbos from eBay/Temu/etc are as bolt on as they claim. I mean, they claim the bolt onto the NAs as well as the turbos, and we know that can't be "bolt on". But it wouldn't matter because I'm not buying a $169 4 psi turbo for anything other than a paddock basher.
    • Bummer...yeah i "need" something to "ease" up the work and for my driving it would be enough.    Iam counting the tune "without" turbo. I do not mean "cheap" like something from Temu around 200 USD, "Cheap" is something around 1000 USD?
