"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.

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

      Duncan's V37.......race car?

      By MBS206 · Posted

      Even more fun, leave all the ADAS stuff plugged in, but in different locations, hopefully avoid any codes!   And honestly, all these new cars with their weird electronics. Pull all the electronics out Duncan, and just shove an aftermarket ECU and if needed a trans controller in, along with a PDM. Make it run basic but race car styled!

      To follow up a question from earlier too since I had the front bar off again (fking!) This is what is between the bumper and the drivers side wheel And this is the navigator side, only one thing but its a biggy! So basically....no putting coolers in the wheel arches without a lot of moving other stuff. Assuming I move to properly race prepping this car I'll take that job on and see how the computers respond to removing a whole bunch of ADAS modules

      Duncan's V37.......race car?

      By Duncan · Posted

      So I prepped the car for another track day on Wednesday (will be interesting to see coolant temps post flushing out and the larger reservoir, with a forecast of 3-14 being 20o cooler than last time I took it out). Couple of things to mention; since I am just driving the car and not taking a support vehicle, I took the rear seats out and just loaded the back up Team Trackday style. Look at all that space! To cover off removing the rear seat....it is weird (note the hybrid is probably different because it wouldn't have folding rear seats) Basically, you remove the lower seat base, very similar to a r series but it is a clip that pulls forward to release the base rather than it being bolted down. Easy Then, you need to remove the side section of the rear seat on each side. There is a 14mm head nut at the bottom of the side piece, the it slides upwards off a hook at the top to release; you also need to unhook the seatbelt from the loop at the top. Then the centre piece is weird. You need to release/fold the seats forward with the tab in the boot on each side From there, there are 2,x12mm headed bolts holding the rear of each seat to the folding bracket, under the trim between the rear seat and the boot (4x christmas tree clips there, they suck). The seat is out but you can see where the bolts attach to the bracket

      As discussed in the previous post, the bushes in the 110 needed replacing. I took this opportunity to replace the castor bushes, the front lower control arm, lower the car and get the alignment dialled in with new tyres. I took it down to Alignment Motorsports on the GC to get this work done and also get more out of the Shockworks as I felt like I wasn't getting the full use out of them.  To cut a very long story short, it ended up being the case the passenger side castor arm wouldn't accept the brand new bush as the sleeve had worn badly enough to the point you could push the new bush in by hand and completely through. Trying a pair of TRD bushes didn't fix the issue either (I had originally gone with Hardrace bushes). We needed to urgently source another castor arm, and thankfully this was sourced and the guys at the shop worked on my car until 7pm on a Saturday to get everything done. The car rides a lot nicer now with the suspension dialled in properly. Lowered the car a little as well to suit the lower profile front tyres, and just bring the car down generally. Eternally thankful for the guys down at the shop to get the car sorted, we both pulled big favours from our contacts to get it done on the Saturday.  Also plugged in the new Stedi foglights into the S15, and even from a quick test in the garage I'm keen to see how they look out on the road. I had some concerns about the length of the LED body and whether it'd fit in the foglight housing but it's fine.  I've got a small window coming up next month where I'll likely get a little paint work done on the 110 to remove the rear wing, add a boot wing and roof wing, get the side skirt fixed up and colour match the little panel on the tail lights so that I can install some badges that I've kept in storage. I'm also tempted to put in a new pair of headlights on the 110.  Until then, here's some more pictures from Easter this year.

      I would put a fuel pressure gauge between the filter and the fuel rail, see if it's maintaining good fuel pressure at idle going up to the point when it stalls. Do you see any strange behavior in commanded fuel leading up to the point when it stalls? You might have to start going through the service manual and doing a long list of sensor tests if it's not the fuel system for whatever reason.
