Radio and TV actually have very little power to influence peoples attitudes, sure they can set the public agenda but changing attitudes requires massive amounts of effort.

I love the 'brainwashed masses' argument always leveled at the media. If everyone is brainwashed why aren't you, why is everyone else somehow dumber and more suceptable to media effects then you or every other high horse person who says that? Stop giving the media so much power ffs we are all intelligent beings capable of discerning what we see on shows like TT/ACA!

if Skylines are the pin up car for hoons, who cares... it might increase the amount of people in the market for them. After all in the media it doesn't matter what they say as long as the spell your name right.

if you really think the media has 'little influence' on the masses, then you are one of the brainwashed 'woolies' out there. also, if you believe that 'we' [society] can 'all' rationally shift the truth from media beat-ups, then you probably believe in the tooth fairy.

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

I'm not even going to bite at that, if your interested to find how your wrong I'll happily direct you to a pile of books and research data.

Sometimes the stereotype gets to me, sometimes I find it funny, mostly I find it highlights the people who don't form their own opinions.

I might have been lucky but only 1 ticket in 30 months of this Skyline ownership (for 72 in 60 zone) and I've gotten a touch of oversteer here and there most days.

If you don't drive with at least a bit of spirit in you sometimes then you believe the hype as much as the next person - just don't do it in the wrong places, and all in moderation.

Just check out how the police drive 90% sensible 10% skids/burnouts, let them lead by example.

As for today-tonight don't worry it won't be on too much longer.

One last topic - Australians generally drive too cautiously and without consideration to others or the conditions. Try to do better than this pretty please.

actually on my way home last night.. was driving along the m1 and saw 2 police on motorbikes and around 20 or so imports/commodores and the police pulled over a toyota yaris and some van thing

i was so happy they were actually focusing on cars doing the wrong thing instead of pulling over the imports for no reason.. even though they were doing like 30 in a 110 zone.. but at least they didnt get pulled over :huh:

or maybe they just couldnt see in the dark :D

its funny how we are labeled the "hoons" cause we drive imports.. yet around 9 times outta 10 we get pulled over when we arent actually hooning..

well the excuse i got when i got pulled over was my suspension looked rocky :D

    • Haha, i kow right? Could have bought so many cars for the same amount of money (or less) but driving Unicorn gives you at least +1mln to style 😅. Like wise man said "life's to short to drink cheap wine and drive boring cars" 😉
    • Newbie here, proud owner of an Autech 260RS. I'm on the hunt for wiring diagrams specific to the 260RS, particularly S1. I've ran my eyes through R33, R34 Diagrams, there are some similarities, however continue to find incorrect wire colours and pins on connectors in the 33,34 diagrams.   I was hoping someone could point me in the right direction? I'd be happy to pay for the originals in Japanese. I can translate them, at least they would be accurate.   Any help please would be greatly appreciated, never heard an RB26DETT before let alone driven one, and I've got a spaghetti monster of goodness to sort out.   Cheers Benny  
    • Hey all  im wondering if you can help me please I have put a rb20 box in my r34 gtt as my auto packed up and a friend had a spare box I know it’s not ideal but it will get me up and running for now. we have done the conversation and everything is working great but my Speedo we got a s13 speed sensor but my Speedo reads double now and I bought a speed converter but still not having any luck.  so I thought I’ll reach out and pick your brains  any help would be appreciated please as I wanna drive my car again 
    • Drain it. I got official Matic D but you can get whatever is listed as Matic D compatible.
    • Thanks guys,  Yeah I should at least have them dynoed, at least then I know what I've got as a starting point.  The springs on these are hard as rocks. I vaguely remember Russman saying he was going to sell the shocks to me with the rocks fitted, as he was keeping the softer springs for his new setup.  I didn't click at the time but of course that was to let me know the shock/spring wouldn't be matched.  I also remember pricing up new springs around 2014-15, but, house, money etc. it never happened. So that was another reason to have them rebuilt. I have rebuilt the forks on many motorcycles so I think I could handle the seals on these easily enough, but getting the valving right would be a rabbit hole I cbf exploring.  Duncan, interesting to hear RP was tuning these back then. I might give them a call.  In the mean time I have been busy fitting sway bars. The Whiteline rear sway bar I purchased 15 years ago finally got fitted, along with the Whiteline front bar that showed up last week. Just waiting on new links for the front sway bar to finish that off.  And my spare set of advan AVS VS5's should be back from the powder coaters in a Pearl White finish sometime this week, with a set of Hankook RS4's lined up for fitting.  And then I just have all the suspension bushes to do. A comprehensive kit is on the way... Lots to do before the Ararat hill climb. Cheers guys 🍻
