oh dear! guess thats what happens when you're hyper from watching or participating in legal drags!!! sux that they have chosen to target it now with everything thats happening... least they are only targeting speeding and not defecting people... that would hurt knowing that you've been targeted by an undercover for doing awesome times... then get out and have a hwp defect you for all your illegal bits... :P

well I was looking at the chart of cars confiscated over NSW and I can be pleased to say not a single car confiscated in the area in which I live.

The police and government in this country are hell bent on crackpot laws that fark with peoples lifestyles. I'm over being angry I just pretend it's not happening....

actually people do get hyped up after advents ive been to the drifts a few times and seen spectators leave the place like there driving on the track. ive also raced competivly for 20 yrs at speedway and seen the same thing with people leaving the car park like there driving a sprintcar .

plenty of times at murry bridge the coppers put a bretho on the road out of the speedway sometimes the fans are there own worst enemy and think when they get done the worlds agianst them

where can u view these so called list of confiscated cars? :P

They should have been at WSID in uniform.

that way, people there will see them and not do anything stupid afterwards.

but they decided to be sneaky instead.

oh well.

sucks to be a sydneysider!! hahahaha

damn queenslander! >_< go whore over in the qld section :(

where can u view these so called list of confiscated cars? >_<

think it was in SMH (either that or daily telegraph) it had a big map of NSW, with the number of cars in each local government area that have been confiscated. from memory bankstown was highest or second with 12 cars, quite a few in liverpool area and blacktown area too. none in my area :(

I'm on the fence on this 1.

It's a fact of life these days to expect police to be in these type of area's picking up speeding drivers. I'd rather the cops spend an hour waiting outside an event like this than spending an entire weekend out cruising the hwy's picking them off 1 at a time. It's a much smarter way of doing business from the police point of view. If the police were to start defecting then I would be pissed.

Anybody that enters/exits the WSID/EC venues driving over the speed limit deserves to get a ticket, the police have been doing it since the day WSID opened and will do it until the day it closes. The 2 roads are the perfect area to go a casual 10 or 20 over the speed limit (60km/h) which can easily be done without even deliberately meaning it. I do the drive atleast once a week and atleast once a week I get some idiot flashing me from behind or overtaking me because they can't handle sitting on 60km/h behind me.

The problem is that not all attendee's of WSID are into cars like users of this forum are. Their are the people that are into it seriously and compete, their are spectators that are enthusiasts that either compete casually or would like to compete, their are regular joe's that enjoy watching the sport but have no other interests (and drive camry's) and then their are the "hoons" which have enough money to spectate but not enough money (or brains) to compete or simply don't think it is cool enough doing it legally on the strip. I'd throw a $50 on it that these were the majority of drivers that were booked outside the venue.

It is quite annoying that the media decide to show footage of the legal drag racing and tie it in with illegal street racing and/or speeding drivers. The general public are left with images of young people doing burnouts and speeding cars in their head when in actual fact it was all perfectly legal.

What annoys me most is that on sunday I drove 400km/h to Newcastle and back and didn't see 1 single cop car, not 1 single hwy patrol on the m4, m2 or f3.

You drove at 400km/h?!?!?!?!?!

What the hell were you in????

wht tha >_<

nah srsly.i wa sdoing nofin rong. n da coPs cam and busted my ace,Yo! we was sittn aRround looking Sick kents.n day busted us like we was f*kin up da hood.now me Car is impounDeded and i think that im going 2 loose my Job if I dont have aNy transportatin to werk.im so sorrY to me Gf,she has stuck by me eva since i came hoMe in me SkyliNe.she loves me So much i waNt to do stuff but noW da cash flo aint happnin and she has allreade started packinin yo!

on top ov daT ME MATE HAD PARTS STOlEN FROM DA IMPOUND LOT.farkn carnt win.<<.

f*kn Cops!!

Bottom line is - cheif of police sai he doesn't understand what it will take to get through to hoons.

Well, what he should do is find someone who does rather than just doing stuff that's just going to alienate the police further.

A mate brought up an interesting comment on another forum, regarding the crushing cars thing. Lets say you're given it a bit of a hit and you see the party lights come on. You know that you'll probably get tagged for street racing, and your pride and joy is on the way to the crusher.

So, do they stop and wait for the cop, or do they try and outrun them? They've generally got no air support, so its not like they need to try losing a helicopter. If the cops catch them, the car is gone either way.

What do you think these idiots, who are more than happy to street race in built up areas, are going to do?

    • Stock ECU (or more accurately stock tune) absolutely refuses to go over 10psi and behaves like you have seen. The Nistune is the same if it is the stock tune. If the Nistune chip has been tuned, the resulting tune could be literally anything for any combination of parts. The Nistune just makes the stock ECU Tunable.
    • 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.
