"Their communications appear to be organised," Chf Insp Smith said.

As opposed to disorganised, resulting in a 'no drag race' situation... lol

Why do Oz authorities say such stupid shite?

I agree with u ronin, its the idiots that drive these cars that give them (and the rest of us responsible drivers) a bad name. What really pisses me off is the fact that half these idiots probably live within 10-15 minutes of eastern creek where they can drag race legally on a wednesday night once a month. This article is in the sydney daily telegraph today aswell

Well including track days which are on several times a month at various tracks around town can easily accommodate for large numbers. All I am saying is that there is a time and a place to give your car a flogging, doing it on public streets with 100 others is just asking for trouble. If u have to get off on the roads just smoke a commodore or falcon off the lights. LOL. Always does it for me.

its people like this that give skyline enthusiast a bad name. it annoys me to think that 'p' platers who want to illegaly drag race can give a negative sterotype to the general public when most of the people that drive a skyline (especially a gtr) are in their 30's, 40's, 50's and 60's.

Last night several notices were issued to cars with wheels that were too big and others that had been lowered for better cornering.

what a joke.. so if a car handles better, it deserves a defect?

nice one...

u say drag racing on public streets is bad but yet u can easily say that smoking a commodore or falcon at the lights is right?? umm from what i know this is also illegal

so basically your contradicting what you just said

Chaos,

Giving your car a little squirt off the lights will never hurt anyone (in my opinion) and I never said anything about going over the speed limit.

I do not believe that having 2 different opinions on 2 issues that are at such opposite ends of the scale is a contradiction.

And I cant imagine why my opinion would concern you unless u are on of these fast and furious drag racers or you are driving miss daisy.

Damo

the inspector said it all when he said:

"They [drag racers] generally don't like to congregate on highways. They tend to choose the back streets where there are less cars so they can race up and down the street freely"

doesnt this show that they are at least thinking about waht they are doing and trying to do it in a spot that will pose the least risk to society. making sure that innocent persons awould not be affected by their actions (except for the noise pollution)?

dont get me wrong, i dont condone what they did for a second, but surely the police were over reacting a bit when they went over ever car that was there. at least the "p" plater had enough sense to do it in an industrial area where there were less cars and things to hit.

I do agree with Damo when he says that a squirt off the lights never hurt anybody, as it is over in a very short period of time and they never usually exceed the speed limit.

just my 2 cents

    • So, I put my boat on a boat. First of all, I'm going to come out and say it. Why is Tasmania not considered a holy goal, an apex that all road-legal modified cars go to, to experience? This place is an absolute wonderland of titanic proportions. If people are already getting club runs for once in a lifetime 30 person cruises to Tassy then I've never seemed to see it. It is like someone replaced the entire place with an idyllic wonderland for cars, and all of the people living there with paid actors who are kind, humble, and friendly. Dear god. After doing a lap of almost all of the place I've found that it's a great way to find out all of the little things that the car isn't doing quite right and a great way to figure it all out. All in all, I drove for 4 hours a day for a week and nothing broke. I didn't even need to open the engine bay. This is by all means a great success, but it has left me with a list of things to potentially address. I also now have a 3D printed wheel fitment tool which annoyingly hasn't got any threads in it to actually assemble it. I might be able to tape it together to check the sizing I actually want to use, but it'll likely involving pulling the shocks out to properly measure travel at least at the front, and probably raise the car while I'm at it, at least in the rear. I scraped on quite a few things and I'm not sure how else to go about it. I was taking anything with a bump at what felt like 89 degree angles. And address those 10 other tasks. And wash the car. God damn it is dirty. And somehow, the weather was perfect the entire time - And because I was on the top of Mt Wellington it turns out it was very much about to freeze up there. I did something I typically never do and took some photos up there in what must have been -10 and the foggy felt like suspended ice, rather than mere fog. If you own a car in Australia, you owe it to yourself to do it.
    • Damn that was hilarious, and a bit embarrassing for skylines in general 😂 vintage car life ey. That R33 really stomped. Pretty entertaining stuff
    • Hi, I have a r32 gtr transmission. Does any of you guys have an idea how much power it will hold with the billet center plate and stock gearset? At what power level and use did yours brake with or without billet plate? Thanks, Oystein Lovik
    • Saw this replica police car based on a Mitsubishi Starion XX parked next to a 'police box' (it's literally a box) in Hirohata, Himeji City in Hyogo prefecture the other day. It's owned by Morii-san who is a local Mitsubishi Starion enthusiast. According to a local radio station blog post, he always wanted to make a police car himself based on ones he saw in his favourite Manga comics.  As it's illegal to modify a car to look like a police car and drive on the road, Morii-san tried many times to get permission from Aboshi police station headquarters nearby. They refused initially by after they got tired of that they granted him permission. However, the car can only be displayed on private property and obviously can't be registered as long as the police livery is present. The car was completed at a cost of 1.5 million yen (US$ 10,000) in addition to the car cost. A location was chosen outside Hirohata Police box where the car can easily been seen from the street. Morii-san has two other Starion road cars, both widebody GSR-VRs.
