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?

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

    • It is a kunfine Android screen . Does anyone know the wirering diagram of the fuga ??
    • just an update to this, poor man pays twice  Tried sanding down the pulleys but it didnt do the trick. Chucked another second hand alternator in the na car which I got for free off my mate and its fixed the squelling. Must have been unlucky with the bearings.    As for my turbo car, I managed to pick up a cwc rb alternator conversion bracket + LS alternator for 250 off marketplace, looked to be in really good nick. Installed it , started the car and its not charging the battery.... ( Im not good with auto elec stuff so im not sure if this was all I needed to do but I verified such by using a multimeter on the battery when the engine was running and I was only getting 12.2v )   I had to modify the earth strap for the new LS alternator , factory earth strap was a 10mm bolt which did not fit the bolt on the LS alternator which was double the size so I cut it off , went to repco bought some ring terminals that fit, crimped it onto the old earth strap and bolted it up to the alternator , started the car and same issue. Ran like shit and was reading 12.2 at the battery.  For a "plug and play" advertised kit thats not very plug and play but alas.  My question is , am I missing something ? Ive been reading that some people recommend upgrading the stock 80 amp alternator fuse to a 140 amp but I dont see how that would stop the alternator charging especially at idle not under load.  Regardless ive pulled it out and am going to get it bench tested by an auto elec tomorrow but it would be handy to know if ive missed something silly or have done something wrong.   
    • My wild guess is that you have popped off an intake pipe....check all of the hoses between the turbo and the throttle for splits or loose clamps.
    • Awesome, thanks for sharing!
    • To provide more specific help, more information is needed. What Android screen? What is its wiring diagram? Does the car's wiring have power at any required BAT and ACC wires, and is the loom's earth good?
