Yeah somehow I don’t think I will add your so eloquently written words to my study. Clearly you wrote the book on media effects and have done heaps of contemporary ethnographic research.

And don't make judgments on my character mate you know nothing about me.

and at no time am i saying that we will follow everything TT/ACA wish to broadcast.. however i said media.. as this one appeared in the newpaper.. it is all over the media.. everywhere.. news, TT/ACA, newspapers.. ppl may shrug off the fact after one article or TT?ACA report.. but repeated reports and ppl will think this is big, and happening everywhere..

i reference my study to porky's II "so saith the shepherd, so saith the flock!!!" lol

well your telling me that the mediadont depict peples lives? at all? cause then you can add me to your study cause i listen to the media news, TT?ACA, newspapers alike and there are things in them that i take as gospel without seeing it for myself..

Getting back on topic just for a second. I hope none of you mind.

According to the media, Hoons are 17 - 25 year olds (generally male), most of time driving imported performance cars. This is the stereotype that they have painted for the public anyway...

My problem/annoyance with this is twofold. One, I hate the fact i get pulled over for no reason by police, I have a completely clean driving record and yet the police officer decides he wants to go over every part of my car to find something wrong or unroadworthy with it. Meanwhile a rusted out P.O.S. drives past blowing smoke everywhere. Two, I'm driving home later at night from work and night after night I drive through Kangaroo Point/Dockside (the Middle-Aged Divorced Male capital of Queensland) and without fail almost every time in main street....at least one 40+ year old bloke in his brand new 307 HSV or that idiot in his Audi R8 wants to race past the Pineapple Hotel. Proof hooning isn't confined to the younger populace of Australia.

Pretty funny really.

P.S. I dont bother with the v8's cause we all know how slow they are.

Yeah Sambo33gtst i have the same problem, they usually looked quite shocked when they see how old i am though, still shits me though as you said there are plenty of dodgy cars out there and even some of the mods we do to our cars to make thembrake and handle better will get us defected.

Wish i was allowed to have a full cage but i cannot becuase if i was in a major accident my survivability would be to high? (sarcasm)

skyline = hoon... all you people on here going on about skyline drivers not being hoons ect.... of course skyline = hoons.. what do you think people by skylines cause they like to go slow? and for thos people out there who dont have a bit of fun every now and then.. you are the type that by skylines to make yourself feel/look cooler.. and most of you are fat and are nerds..

and yes iam 1 of thos people who give all you nerds a bad name.. pfft big deal :D

lol rolzy does have a point, i didn't buy my car to go slow....however i've wanted one since i was about 10 years old, so it was more of a dream of mine to get one :D

And mlr, you are also right. I almost got defected for exhaust noise one week a long while ago. Then about 15 harley davidson riders went past while I was pulled over. Cop then asked me if I had a silencer for my exhaust to which i replied 'yes', he sent me on my way. Two weeks later the silencer gets unscrewed from the cannon while I was shopping at indro, stolen.....lol?

auction haha na you wont see my car there.. cops are to impressed with my sliding to book me.. true storey got let of the other day for doing about a 400 m drift infront of a cop.. cop was so impressed he let me off... :D

cheers to the beenleigh cop who let me off your a legend... your partner didnt look to impressed with you..

yeh then you can put it all on your car and do the speed limit... your all f**ken geeks on this site.. f**ken losers

i will have fun givin all u flamin mongrels a bad name... also dont post bad things about people you dont who who actually no your car.. you wouldnt want to go to hop in your car 1 morning and some 1 happend to scratch geek in every panel now would you?

last comment on this gay ass site

The reson i own a skyline is the fact they are a cheap car that has good performance potential, i donot do burn outs or drift around round abouts because that is a stupid and dangerous thing to do and why smoke my expensive tyres just so someone i dont know will think im cool, It would be acceptable if im heating them up at the drags but i havent raced a car in years so i see no point in doing it.

I like to drive, simple as that, yes my car is making substancialy more power and handles much better than new but what i like is the drive, The PUTTY RD, NORTHEN RD, bacicialy any roads in NSW, ACT, MELB,or QLD are the places i frequent. Long winding roads that your average car would be painfull to drive are home for my car. Yes, i sometimes exceed the speed limit but mainly im just cruising along the longest windiest roads that are out there.

Drifting, Drags and Circuit work are the most fun you can have in a car but keep it on the race track where it belongs, if you think you are good enough do it, even if you dont go to your local track and give i a go, i did. (Not the Drifting though).

Its the wankers out there that go out do stupid shit that cause all the trouble, its the hey look at me mom syndrome for most of the younger kids, but its the im old and impotent for the older generation, both of these groups generaly cannot drive in a straight line let alone corners.I would love to see the times of most of these fools on a circuit, but then they would never get their car around more than a few laps without crashing out or breaking their car.

Last bit of raving now, most of the cars these idiots drive are either stock or only have power upgrades , everybodys heard them boast, "yeah mate ive got 300kw at the wheels" but not one upgrade to the braking or handling side of things.

WANKERS

    • Update 3: Hi all It's been a while. Quite a lot of things happened in the meantime, among other things the car is (almost) back together and ready to be started again. Things that I fixed or changed: Full turbo removal, fitting back the OEM turbo oil hardlines. Had to do quite a bit of research and parts shopping to get every last piece that I need and make it work with the GT2860 turbos, but it does work and is not hard to do. Proves that the previous owner(s) just did not want to. While I was there I set the preload for the wastegates to 0,9bar to hopefully make it easier for the tuner to hit the 370hp I need for the legal inspections that will follow later on. Boost can always go up if necessary. Fitted a AN10 line from the catch can to the intake hose to make the catchcan and hopefully the cam covers a slight vacuum to have less restrictive oil returns from the head and not have mud build up as harshly in the lines and catch can. Removed the entire front interior just shy of the dashboard itself to clean up some of the absolutely horrendous wiring, (hopefully) fix the bumpy tacho and put in LED bulbs while I was there. Also put in bulbs where there was none before, like the airbag one. I also used that chance to remove the LED rpm gauge on the steering column, which was also wired in absolute horror show fashion. Moved the 4in1 Prosport gauge from sitting in front of the OEM oil pressure gauge to the center console vents, I used a 3D printed vent piece to hold that gauge there. The HKB steering wheel boss was likely on incorrectly as I sometimes noticed the indicator reset being uneven for left vs. right. In the meantime also installed an airbag delete resistor, as one should. Installed Cube Speed premium short shifter. Feels pretty nice, hope it'll work great too when I actually get to drive. Also put on a fancy Dragon Ball shift knob, cause why not. My buddy was kind enough to weld the rust hole in the back, it was basically rusted through in the lowermost corner of the passenger side trunk area where the wheel arch, trunk panel and rear quarter all meet. Obviously there is still a lot of crustiness in various areas but as long as it's not rusted out I'll just treat and isolate the corrosion and pretend it's not there. Also had to put down a new ground wire for the rear subframe as the original one was BARELY there. Probably a bit controversial depending on who you ask about this... but I ended up just covering the crack in the side of the engine block, the one above the oil feed, with JB Weld. I used a generous amount and roughed up the whole area with a Dremel before, so I hope this will hold the coolant where it should be for the foreseeable future. Did a cam cover gasket job as the half moons were a bit leaky, and there too one could see the people who worked on this car before me were absolute tools. The same half moons were probably used like 3 times without even cleaning the old RTV off. Dremeled out the inside of the flange where the turbine housing mates onto the exhaust manifolds so the diameter matches, as the OEM exhaust manifolds are even narrower than the turbine housings as we all know. Even if this doesn't do much, I had them out anyways, so can't harm. Ideally one would port-match both the turbo and the manifold to the gasket size but I really didn't feel up to disassembling the turbine housings. Wrapped turbo outlet dumps in heat wrap band. Will do the frontpipe again as well as now the oil leak which promted me to tear apart half the engine in the first place is hopefully fixed. Fitted an ATI super damper to get rid of the worn old harmonic balancer. Surely one of the easiest and most worth to do mods. But torquing that ARP bolt to spec was a bitch without being able to lock the flywheel. Did some minor adjustments in the ECU tables to change some things I didn't like, like the launch control that was ALWAYS active. Treated rusty spots and surface corrosion on places I could get to and on many spots under the car, not pretty or ideal but good enough for now. Removed the N1 rear spats and the carbon surrounding for the tailpipe to put them back on with new adhesive as the old one was lifting in many spots, not pretty. Took out the passenger rear lamp housing... what do you know. Amateur work screwed me again here as they were glued in hard and removing it took a lot of force, so I broke one of the housing bolts off. And when removing the adhesive from the chassis the paint came right off too. Thankfully all the damaged area won't be visible later, but whoever did the very limited bodywork on this car needs to have their limbs chopped off piece by piece.   Quite a list if I do say so myself, but a lot of time was spent just discovering new shit that is wrong with the car and finding a solution or parts to fix it. My last problem that I now have the headache of dealing with is that the exhaust studs on the turbo outlets are M10x1.25 threaded, but the previous owner already put on regular M10 nuts so the threads are... weird. I only found this out the hard way. So now I will just try if I can in any way fit the front pipe regardless, if not I'll have to redo the studs with the turbos installed. Lesson learned for the future: Redo ALL studs you put your hands on, especially if they are old and the previous owners were inept maniacs. Thanks for reading if you did, will update when the engine runs again. Hope nothing breaks or leaks and I can do a test drive.
    • No those pads are DBA too  but they have colors too. I look at the and imo the green "street" are the best.
    • I’m not sure what happened I told them about sonic tunes free OTS tune and the next the I know .. I was booted..   To funny 
    • Yea - I mean I've seen my fuel pump which is decades old and uh, while I'm not saying this with real knowledge... but I sure get the ick at using anything in the fuel system that produced the state of that pump. Many years ago I went through multiple pumps (and strainers) before I dropped the tank to clean it out with extreme violence. I'm talking the car would do maybe 50km before coming to a halt, which resulted in me cleaning out the filter with some brake cleaner and going on my way. None of my stuff ever looked like what came out of your fuel tank. I don't think I'd be happy with it unless every single component was replaced (or at least checked/cleaned/confirmed to be clean here).
    • I'm not going to recommend an EBC pad. I don't like them. Just about anything else would suit me better. I've been using Intima pads for a while now.
