http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Import_scene

The Import scene or Import racing scene refers to the subculture that revolves around modifying imported brand cars (commonly referred to as imports), especially those of Japanese brands, for STREET RACING in foreign countries. Thanks to movies like The Fast and the Furious (2001), it has become a mainstream phenomenon.

he needed a better lawyer...

also should have had it adjourned to city courts.... seriously... sif be heard at broadmeadows ffs

On what grounds?

I for one think his lawyer did well getting him off so lightly.

there's always some shit you can spin to have your case heard closer to the city...

you do NOT wanna be facing a broadmeadows judge for any reason! (esp car offences, and wifebeating) :thumbsup:

Didn't know that Rex's were geared to allow that kind of top speed. Was always lead to believe that they hit the rev limiter in top at about 210km/h. This was always explained as one of the reasons that they were so quick, because the gearing was so short.

Also no mention of the fact that this guy was a P plater in a STi. Should have been a fine for that as well. Love to know where the money to get the car came from.

nah rexies can hit 250 with minimal mods. my friend just had full zorst and frontmount he hit 250 (on a track ovcours). i think its ridiculous that the cops chased him. when they clocked him doing 250 they shudnt've even bothered cuz him trying to run away wud b even more dangerous. (im guessin no helicopter) so jeh i think thats bulshit to begin with. he shud get jailed for trying to run away, but the speeding bit depends on the circumstances. look doing 250 on the way to geelong at 3am on a weekday isnt dangerous. the road is perfect and no traffic, so i think it has to be looked like that and there should be some sort of system that allows that (i think there actually might be when u actually go to court, but im not sure)

as for the whole car-crushing thing, i think its ridiculous, this isnt a communist country, so they shudnt b allowed to do that, or even sell your car. they should however b able to ban your car from being registred under your name (i think thats fair enuf) but the other stuff is just plain bs

    • So for the wide band is a Bosch 4.9 correct for the Link G4+ along with a Can bus? Just get the Link gear or is generic ok too? Eg here: LINK LINK DIGITAL WIDEBAND CAN MODULE WITH BOSCH 4.9 SENSOR : KYP Performance House  
    • Bit difficult to follow. Have a look below and see what the standard R32 layout was like. Note there was a restrictor in place immediately before "turbocharged pressure control solenoid" that, if removed, magically got you 1 bar boost.
    • I might be way off the mark here.. there must be a T junction under the manifold. That takes manifold pressure through a check valve prior to the T, one side splits out to this bleed off orifice, the other straight to the wastegate actuators. 
    • Carrying out some engine due diligence before my first drive in a 260RS that has been in storage for 10+ years, and found two lines that are susposed to be plumbed into the boost control solenoid. One of the lines (the wastegate boost supply line) to actuate the gates, had a bolt in one end blocking it. The other line (main boost signal line) from the very rear of the intake manifold (RB26DETT) and runs up to the boost controller had this pill in the end of it as seen in photos. Other than the obvious (T28 Ceramic turbos might well be cooked)  Can anyone shed any light on if there is any validity at all with this mod, bleeding a constant fixed rate of manifold boost pressure off through this 3mm hole?  Is it deliberate?  Was this a 90s Jap mod done to RB26's? Or has someone just fitted this without any idea of what happens to ceramic T28s if they are not gate controlled?
