On the front page of the courier mail (which im sure most of you have seen) the headline reads, GUNS, GANGS and HOONS

The write up in the Qweekend section basically talks about fights and stabbings at the gold coast and doesn't give any reference to cars or hoons, like the headline proclaims.

Just thought its worth a mention

from the always awesome wikipedia

The term "Hoon" was first used in Australia at the turn of the 20th century where it referred to a man living off immoral earnings [1] (i.e. a pimp). The origin of its current usage is currently unknown but is widely believed to be a shortened form of "hooligan" [2]. In more recent times it has been used to describe any young male or female who drives in a manner which is anti-social towards the standards of modern day society. Generally, a hoon is any person who drives any vehicle dangerously and/or fast.

Perhaps the author was using the hoon term in its old fashioned meaning.

Guess I'm oldfashioned, I like my words to be used in the correct context and true to their definitions.

Just another bastardisation of the english language, As if wikipedia should be allowed to "add" definitions to the English language.

But being a local slang word, I'll let it slip :thumbsup:

      Talking about deliveries  I have one on the way from MX5 Mania already, only for a little added noise really  Plus I'm waiting on Super Cheap for every oil, fluid, filter that goes in it, and some new plugs for it as well, because why not After that is all finished it's off to MX5 Mania for the ECUTEK, mainly because I want the rev match for when I'm racing to work or the local Coles shopping centre 🤪

      Big Brake Kit for ECR33

      By Dose Pipe Sutututu · Posted

      Just for clarity, no adaptors are required for the front conversion. 350Z Brembos & rotors fit on S13/14/15 and R32/33 (GTS-t/R) by just drilling the bolt hole to 14mm (and using R34 GT-t/R caliper bolts as the 350Z ones are too long). R34 GT-t/GT-R will be full bolt on as they're already 14mm (however still requiring R34 GT-t/R caliper bolts).

      The ATTKD and similar kits are a good thing for street and light track use like Dose is saying. I think they are good value as they replace everything.  Rob's suggestion of upgrading standard parts can absolutely work as these cars came with reasonable brakes, you just have to consider how all the parts add up if you end up doing brake lines, caliper rebuild, rotors as well. The problem with the 350z kits are the same....adapters look cheap but then depending on the caliper health you might still end up with having to do all those parts anyway.

      Coilover touching front upright arm?

      By Duncan · Posted

      Yeah just space it out if you need to, those shock bodies are way bigger than standard. The shock only acts as a shock on r series chassis so its exact location is not important

      Front Tyres on R34 GTR, fitment, etc, *question*

      By Duncan · Posted

      I don't know the answer with a 34, but for sure the standard bumper location is the limiting factor with a 32, that is where the larger diameter tyres I was trying to run were rubbing (noting I had already rolled the guard lip)
